the graduate school there was a
slight decrease reported, from last
year's 99 to 83 for the current term.

374. The sophomore .class numbera

Maloney Field Set
For First Display
·Of Student Spirit
Spirit and enthusiasm will erupt
tonight in preparation for tomorrow's
game with American International
when - the University student
body gathers for a giant pep
rally at Maloney Field in Green
Ridge. The rally will be complete

in charge of the event, the rally
will be preceded by a parade of cars
through central City.
Students who can bring cars have
been asked to appear at the "B"
Building parking lot at 6:45 p.m. to
have the vehicles decorated with
crepe paper and bunting. Students
who do not have cars have also been
invited to be present at 6:45 to get
a ride to the rally in Army transport
trucks furnished by the 109th
Infantry.
Precedent established in previous
years of having the rallies at Court
House Square has been discontinued
for tonight so as to allow the bonfire
feature in the open-air surroundings
of Maloney Field.
Along with the bonfire, the committee
has prepared a hilarious skit,
the script for which will be a wellguarded
secret until tonight. Short
pep talks will be given by Peo
Ferrario, president of' the Quarterbacks
Club, and Coach Pete Carlesimo,
who will introduce members of
the football team.
Following -the pep rally the regular
Friday Night dance will be held
in the Green Room. The Sodality is
sponsoring the dance.
