GOO~ DITCH DAY So to lOur1l\SlE - So QU'c~ on the 0\\1\'14 \ (OontfDaea from .... 1) here in being able to observe this lovable tradition. In nearly - - all colleges throughout the land, student housing is one of two types: rigidly supervised dorms, or fraternity houses. The stu­ dents in the dorms of course could not hold a ditch day be­ cause the supervision wouldn't permit it, and the frats, since they own their own houses, are responsible for their upkeep, and can not afford such an affair. Thus we have the great good fortune of being able to engage each year in a day of destruc­ tion. From the delightful rip­ ping of doorframes to the glee­ ful emptying of drawers, the day is one long period of sheer pleasure. Probably the greatest feeling of satisfaction comes from the knowledge of the great discomfort, inconvenience, and property loss we ,are causing to our fellow house members; this is the real advantage of ditch day. Yes, we at Caltech can be prOUd of ditch day. It serves as a landmark of our great intelli­ gence and good sense.
