Britishers Watch as Lady
Godiva is Undraped Again
COVENTRY, Eng.. Oct. 25- (Ah- Lady Godiva was undraped
again today and this time everybody watched.
A bronze statue of the famous lady, who 900 years ago rode naked
through the streets of this town, gave, up her veils for British and
American flags in an jimpressive public ^efemorty. i
Mrs. Lewis Douglas wife of the American Ambassador, pulled
the string that loosed the covering. But Lady Godiva appeared sud
denly modest. The flags stuck to her when the cord was pulled and
workmen had to prod (hem down with long poles.
It was the first statue the townspeople had ever had of their
historic benefactress. Legend has it that at noon one day, 900 years
ago she rode forth naked in the streets, vocered only by her own
long tresses, to force hier noble husband, Earl of Mercia, to lower the
taxes. - J . j ; 11 *; ; i i !
On that occasion the townspeople tvent indobrs to let their beau
tiful lady pass unseen. But one guy peeped and became almost equally
famous peeping tom. The story has it that the demonstration worked
and the taxes were lowered.

meets with them to make plans for
the corps trip. J
The possibility that this action
would set a precedent for future
yell practices wj»s voiced by Joe
Fuller. Penberthy said that setting
a daylight hourlfor Houston’s yell
practice would not have any effect
on future yell practices.
C. G. "Spike” White puggekted
the group go on record with their
comments regarding midnight yell
practices so tbit similar groups
in future years plight have the
benefit of . the [ discussion. How
ever, Charles Khkham asked that
such action be postponed pending
the success of the daytime yell
practice.
The group decided to meet again
Wednesday aftfir the corps trip.

number. D.| N. Leavitt blew the
gargantuan ring and J. R. Gauntt

one inhalation. J. D. Pianta pu|fed
