He wore a fantastically filthy
sweatshirt that had on it every
conceivable lewd saying and ev-

and blood to barroom floor scum
coagulated blood.
He had on Chartreuse and
flourcscent-orange "baggies"
with sick pink stripes. He had a
red garter around one of his
hairy legs with a picture of Al
Capone attached to it.
He wore grotesque sandals
made of sections of tractor tires
and rawhide laces 'all the way up
to his knees.
"Are you a freshman?" couldn't
keep myself from asking him.
He slowly turned around. I
could see his face was hideously
scarred and pock marked. He
looked like he had been in a
thousand fights and like he had
every disease known. There was
a little sign tacked to the front
of his sweatshirt which read:
"I am Satan's 5th Cousin. I have
killed more guys taken more
dope and drank more liquor"
than any other sinner in the
world."
When he turned around slap-

"Whaddaya think you're doing
crowding in front of me like
that?" the unfriendly weird one
asked the crowder.
"It's customary here at ACC"
he replied.
The filthy beatnik was stunned.
He turned to me and cried "I've
lived a terrible life and I'm proud
of it. The reason I'm here at
ACC is because my initiation in-
to the Mafia is to try to keep my
sinfulness during one day at
ACC."
"Chapel almost defeated me"
he continued "and the smiles on

so many faces were getting me
down. The whole atmosphere of
this college had almost made me
turn sweet."
"But then I came to the Bean
line and found that good 'ol life-

I'm my old wicked self again.

An assortment of athletic
equipment has been purchased
and placed for loan to student
organizations by the ACC Stu-
dents Association this week.
The equipment will be put in
the SA office and made available
to student organizations that can
make use of it. The announce-
ment of purchase of equip-
ment was made by SA President
Ron Price who said the equip-
ment includes the following: two
vollcyballs three bats two soft-
balls one volleyball net and one
catcher's mlt.
The equipment may be bor-
rowed by anyone desiring to use
it and anyone who will be respon-

the sophomore class was placed
in charge of buying the equip-
ment at the first of school. He
said that Dean Beauchamp had
recommended to the Students
Association that they purchase
the equipment.
Several organizations have had
need of such equipment in the
past when there was none to be
found. It is hoped by the SA and
Beauchamp that this purchase' of
equipment will remedy that situ-
