A Tour of the Ca1npu

1Jr ADIE.

AND C.EN'rLEt-IEN (and Fijis, if any are on this bus) : Y ou are now approaching the beeyootyfawl campus o wned and operated by the niversity from Edaho, the pet football of the state legislature. On the right, just before we turn into Elm street, you can see the famous old fairgrounds and grandstand, the scene of many an argument on a cold night, and also the scene of some thrilling races between the eds and co-eds and the campus nightwatchman. It is predicted by balmy prophets that the tow n of M oscow will build a street through th is land by 1952, thereby affording another approach to the uni versit y; but those who know the town of loscow declare our grandchildren will never live to tread that street . \\'e are now driving along Fraternity Row, where all the Greeks live. Th e barn on your left is the Alpha Phi house, and the lot across the street with all the weeds in it is the future home of the Tri-D elts. Next you see the Lam bda Chi mansion with its cute little annex for storage. The .-\lpha Chis live o n the corner opposite. No, lady, there is no stove in their woodshed. T hat is merely- well, never mind. Wh at? No, madam; that is not the new gymnasiu m. I t is merely the home of all the Betas when they aren't out serenading. Opposite you can see the D.G. morgue and the duplex Phi Delt house. Yes, duplex . You see, they bui lt the house and lived in it one year, and then raised the money to build a roof. The swim ming tank and gardens will come later. On your right, ladies and gents, is the Kappa house, the exterior fini sh of which was once white. ~ext to that is the Kappa smoking den, where Brimh all acts as housemother. The little house on the corner with the perverted chimney is the Fiji house. Yes, ma'am, that is their crest up on the chimney. Catty-corner is the D elta Chi mansion and next to that is where C het K err and his gang li ve. ow we are nearing the Sigma Nu and Gamma Phi houses. Oh, yes, miss; they really live in separate houses.
