Beyond a prank
When ls a "college prank* no longer a prank?
It Is not easy to determine a tolerance point. Certainly, though,
Setting fire to toe rally bonfire last Friday morning ls a case to
point. The act Itself might be looked on as a prank. What followed
should worry anyone concerned with law and order. Although too
official investigation of what happened early that morning ls still
In progress, it seems clear from reports that student police and
firemen were harassed beyond toe line separating the prank from that
bordering on toe criminal
WhUe the police and firemen at toe scene of toe Are were students,
they were acting to a professional capacity. Interference with their
actions should be regarded as similar to interference with any such
authority. Punishment should be handed out accordingly.
Accusations have been made against fraternity members and pledges
by other students. We would prefer to wait for completion of toe
Investigation before making such a statement. If Investigation shows
a fraternity or fraternlUes to be responsible for Interfering with
toe work of police and firemen, wo hope toe InterfraterMty CouncU
will, for Us own good, expel] those responsible. The coUege ad¬
ministration should demand such action.
If "independent* students are found to be responsible, we hope toe
administration or student court will levy punishment commensurate
with the serious nature of last week's violations of law.
Tho time has come when warnings are no longer to order. Those
who defied the law last week belong to toe same Irresponsible
element as those who reconUy threw tear gas bombs into two sorority
houses — or those responsible for bombing toe Sigma Nu house last
semester. That serious Injury did not result ls due to luck.

DEAR REB:
I'm a big football star, and I've found a girl who suits me to a T. But
I've been blocked out of the play by a math major. He knows math
from A = Pi R2 to E = MC2. Now she says he's found the formula
for success with her. All he has to do is mutter "Coronet R/T," and
I get thrown for a loss. Believe me, this is no equilateral triangle

FALLEN STAR
DEAR FALLEN STAR:
Now's the time to plunge. Coronet R/T isn't his ex¬
clusive formula. Your nearby Dodge Dealer has it,
too. And it comes almost as easily as the cube root of
27. Then how can the girl of your dreams resist two
superstars . . . you and your Coronet R/T? From
there on out, your math major will be the victim of
diminishing returns. Huddle with your Dodge Dealer
now, and get your signals straight.

And why not? Look what you'll have going for you in your Dodge Coronet R/T, convertible
or two-door hardtop. All standard, too. 440-cubic-inch Magnum V8 engine. Dual exhausts.
Heavy-duty brakes and suspension. High-performance Red Streak tires. And exclusive R/T
grille and hood scoop design, full length paint stripes, and nameplates, front, rear and sides.
So get with your Dodge Dealer, and your problem will solve itself.      J*
