Ivy Covered Halls ■—
Poison Ivy, That Is!
LOUISVILLE, Ky., OP) — Cash
was short. The Phi Kappa Tau
fraternity decorations committee
decided to use ivy instead of palms
to decorate for a South Seas
dance.
The six-man committee combed
the University of Louisville cam
pus. They found their ivy. It
looked lovely twined into gar
lands for the dance. The affair
Saturday night was a roaring
success.
Today the whole decoration
committee was wearing calamine
lotion.
They’d collected armloads of
poison ivy.

Scout Chief Urges
Prayer Day Observance
£)r. Arthur Schuck, chief Scout
executive of the Boy Scouts of
America, in a message to Scout
Executives in Alaska, states,
“Each of us, I know, covets every
opportunity to make the twelfth
point of the Scout law effective.
Also, each of us in Scouting recog
nizes the power and importance
of prayer.”
Therefore all Scout units are
urged to observe October 1st as
a day of prayer for the nation
and for mankind, in accordance
with a proclamation by President
Eisenhower.
The 12th point of the Scout law
reads: “A Scout is reverent.” He
is reverent toward God. He is
faithful in his religious duties
and respects the convictions of
others in matters of custom and
religion.
Dr. Schuck informed President
Eisenhower that the organization
has taken, steps for the “fullest
cooperation to this noble purpose
and that the members, totaling
4,751,000 boys and men, have
been requested to fully support
the proclamation.
Bodies of Six U.S.
Airmen Recovered
KARS, Turkey, UPi — The bodies
of six U. S. airmen killed in a
crash in Sovet Armenia Sept. 2
are back in American hands. The
Soviets surrendered them at the
Soviet-Turkish border Wednes
day. The fate of 11 other crewmen
remained a mystery. «
The full story of the final flight
of the Cl30 turboprop transport
and the explosion and fire that
destroyed it remained to be told.
The Soviets have protested that
the transport “intentionally vio
lated the Soviet border.” The
U. S. State Department said So
viet Migs had jumped the plane
near this provincial capital, 20
miles inside Turkey, and forced
it across the border, although it
did not accuse them of shooting
it down.

j6Kidnaped’ Student
Greeted By Mike
At Fairbanks
FAIRBANKS, OR — Daryl
Butcher ended his “kidnap” flight
from Claremont, Calif., and was
greeted by former Alaska Gov
ernor Mike Stepovich.
Butcher, 19-year-old sophomore
class president of Claremont Col
lege, was hustled aboard a plane [
bound for Alaska Wednesday by
a group of freshmen, staging their
annual revolt against hazing. He
was given a one-way ticket.
Stepovich met Butcher at the
airfield and accepted, a State of
Alaska flag and a congratulatory
letter on Statehood, but pointed ■
out he resigned as governor sev
eral months ago.
Also bn hand were representa
tives of the University of Alaska
student body, who offered Butcher
lodging as the guest of the stu
dent group.
Butcher said he received word
by telephone that money for his
return ticket has been raised by
the freshmen and is being wired
to him. He said he expects to leave
here Friday.
I “This is really something,” :
Butcher said. “A few weeks ago j
I was in Hawaii wording as a
YMCA youth leader. Now I’m in
Alaska — and it’s quite a con
trast.”
Claremont freshmen made
quite a point of insuring his life
for $12,000 when they shipped
him to Alaska, he said.
“What they haven’t told any
body,” he added, “is that the
freshman class itself was desig
nated the beneficiary.”
