HOWARD COLLEGE, FEBRUARY 15, 1957
Number 16
Howard players received injury.
With three minutes remaining
in the first half, tension snapped
into action. Forward Rodulph
Davidson went down under a
body block by Clem. He came off
the floor with an intent to return
the blow, but was momentarily
restrained by fellow players.
A blow to Rudy’s head with a
basketball hurled by Jones
brought immediate reaction. The
violent fracas was brief but
bloody. Clem was treated for a
cut lip and Jones was retained
at the hospital with head injuries.
Head coaches Ledbetter and
Burch agreed to call off the
game.
Coach Ledbetter termed the
event as “an unfortunate inci¬
dent" No immediate statements
have been released as to whether
relations with Southern will be
suspended.
In the records of Howard's
basketball scores, the game will
be disregarded. The present rec¬
ord stands at eleven wins and
twelve losses.
Sherman Oak was ignited for
a second time immediately after
the incident. A gasoline fire was
also set to the tree Sunday night

1 have never been so humil¬
iated in all my life, so today I
want to write a letter to my dear
friends from the other side of the
city.
Dear B'ham Southern Students:
The other night, Sunday, Feb¬
ruary 10, to be exact, when you
so rudely attacked our campus,
I dont’ appreciate at all the dam¬
age that was done to me. The
very idea, throwing kerosene on
me, and trying to burn me down.
I was so humiliated, and scared
that I could hardly cry out.
If the noble Quinn Kelley had
not fought your crew off single-
handed and very bravely put
sand on my flames, I would prob¬
ably be little more than a burned
out stump now.
Coach Sharman came up with
one of the cutest stories of what
happened in the good ole' days
with B’ham Southern, (oh, that
name just burns me up.) Any¬
way. Coach Sharman said that
for one game with Southern,
Howard announced that the doors
would be open at 7:00 p.m. Nat¬
urally all of Southern students
came early and waited outside.
Unknown to our fair visitors,
however, Howard students came
even earlier and sneaked in the
back door. When the doors
opened at 7:00, the Southern
students swarmed upstairs, the
lights were turned on. and there
they saw that all the seats had
already been taken by Howard
students. That’s what they get
for pouring kerosene on my un¬
protected portions.
Elsewhere around Howard, it
seems as if the "rats,” previously
known as green, green freshmen,
have taken to the initial “Rat
Week" with a great deal of co¬
operation. Now I don’t mean to
be an §ld stick in the mud. or an
old tree in the campus, but I hope
the student body realizes that rat
weeks have a wide reputation for
getting out of hand. Although
this year the even was one of
good fun, let’s hope that the
Senate will quickly add some sort
of amendment, or something to
the Constitution to keep all
hazing and unnecessary requests
out of rat week.
Dear Douglas Clark — I thought
I would never catch up with you,
but at last I have. It’s you that
has been parking your car at the
end of Barracks Two, and caus¬
ing all care to have to ford that
gigantic mud puddle to park.
Boys, he lives in Barracks Two,
downstairs.
Congratulations, Mrs. Hollis,
for being the valentine of all the
boys on campus. You can be my
valentine, too.

House Pleads For
Better Attendance
It is imperative that all the
organizations on campus, be im¬
pressed with the importance of
having a representative at every
meeting of the House.
Because of the numerous
powers and privileges vested in
the House of Representatives and
in order for each organization to
have a voice, we must have one
hundred per cent representation.
The roll is called each meeting
and three absences of any repre¬
sentative constitutes an automatic
resignation of that member and
the organization is notified to
select another representative.
The House of Representatives
meets every Friday at 10:00
o'clock in the Science Hall Audi¬
torium. Elect a representative to
attend the meetings, if one is not
already representing your organ¬
ization. The House will work
with the Senate to insure the stu¬
dents of presenting their needs
and suggestions to the adminis¬
tration and faculty and working
in turn with these bodies to reach
a fair agreement with both.
Some of the problems that the
House is directly concerned with
now are:
1. Selection or election of
cheerleaders
2. Advantages and disadvant¬
ages of a student Honor
System
3. Revision of the Student
Body Constitution
4 Stimulation of School Spirit
and School Loyalty
5. The instigation of a central
bulletin board for announce¬
ments that effect all stu¬
dents.
set aside as Christian Emphasis
Week.
Meditaton should be given
prime importance this week and
special power will be gained.
Mighty Mice End
Week Of Terror
By Carolyn Blackwell
The first real Rat Week at Howard College draws to a
close today. Upperclassmen have succeeded in making the en-
tinhweek generally miserable for the younger set.
Rat Week is one result of an
effort to stimulate school spirit
at Howard and undoubtedly has
proved a success judging from
the interest shown.
Max Gartman served as chair¬
man of the Freshman Activities
for Rat Week. On his committee
were Henry Postma, Judy Farris,
Jo Ann Stewart and Martha Cox.
A Rat Constitution was pub¬
lished and circulated among
аЦ
members of the student body to:
stipulate rules and punishments
in force during the week. Some
of the more profitable ones for
upperclassmen were those re¬
quiring rats to shine shoes, open
doors, make up beds; and walk
off the sidewalk.
Monday found the otherwise
shining brows of frosh gaily
smeared with R-A-T, written in
red lipstick.
Tuesday, they trooped to class
wearing unmatched shoes.
Wednesday and Thursday, girl
rats appeared very plain, minus
lipstick. Boy rats showed up in
class unshaven.
Tonight at the all-campus
party, sponsored by the Fresh¬
man class, there will be a Rat-
Court for the purpose of punish¬
ing delinquent freshmen who
have been disobeying rules all
week.
Cheer up. mighty mice, the
next rat week will find you ad¬
ministering the punishments!
