Campus officers struggled with out success to break up the demonstration, occasionally being- knocked to the ground as surging students waved their arms and yelled outside dormitory windows. A number of lingerie items flut tered down into the crowd. This caused shouts of “more, more.” The raid began, according to a number of participants, after a false fire alarm caused the evacu ation of a men’s dormitory across the campus from the women’s dormitories. The excitement caused men’s dormitory residents to move across campus, picking up reinforcements as they approached the women’s residence halls at the northwest corner of the campus. The false alarm was sounded at Moore-Hill dormitory, where most single male athletes live. Targets for the raids were Blanton and Kinsolving halls, occupied by women students.

The New Yorker magazine which he joined in its infancy, was his main vehicle, but his humorous ideas got wider circulation when two of his works were made into motion pictures. They were “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,” the wild day-dreaming of a mousy man, and “The Male Animal,” a | study of campus Life on which he collaborated with Elliott Nugent, ! a classmate at Ohio State Univer sity. One of Thurber’s best-known i books was “My Life and Hard | Times,” a collection of New Yorker pieces dealing with Thurber’s youth j in Columbus, Ohio, his birthplace. | Included in that book were such ! classics as “The Night the Ghost Got In” and “The Day the Dam i Broke." Thurber and others who worked for the New Yorker in its early ! days wrote mainly personal es- | says, reminiscences which were at least partly true. E. B. White once wrote that although Thurber’s pieces were based on fact, he was ! sure most of the happenings exist ed in the fertile mind of the author. White and Thurber together for some years wrote “The Talk of I the Town,” a eolumn-like preface to the New Yorker and it was White who persuaded Thurber to make his drawings public. Thurber started them as a form of doodling, a “form of nervous relaxation,” and remarked that it I was “years before I learned to my astonishment they could be sold.” Then when he decided to draw J slowly and carefully, White told j him: “If you ever became good, j you’d be mediocre” and Thurber | recalled that he “went back to rapidity.” Many of his cartoons dealt with lop-eared dogs, irate women and small, mousy men. One of his favorite subjects portrayed the domination of American men by they women. He and White wrote a famous satire, when psychoanalysis was in its younger days, called “Is Sex Necessary.” In that book they ad vanced, among other things, the “smallhousen theory.” In brief, that is that houses are too small to hold both men and women. Thurber was a newspaperman in Columbus, Paris and New York be fore joining the magazine. He was blinded by a child’s ar row while still a boy and lost the sight of the other eye in a series of cataract operations during the past few years. He and his first wife, the moth er of his daughter Rosemary, were divorced and in 1935 Thurber re married, to Helen Wismer. His first wife had been Althea Adams. Among Thurber’s other works were “If Grant Had Been Drink ing at Appomattox,” and “The Years With Ross,” the latter a review of his memories of the late Harold Ross, New Yorker editor. The humorist appeared as him self in “A Thurber Carnival,” a Broadway play, in 1960. fmrm “Sports Car Center” Dealers for Renault-Peugeot & British Motor Cars Sales—Parts—Service “We Service All Foreign Cars 1416 Texas Ave. TA 2-451 A. & R.
