Emory Claims Uniq^ Frats "I Gotta Mop" Installed 1 Membership Restricted To Jpiiitors Of Various Buildings On Emory P. Campus "Dream girl of Pi K. A." and "The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi" have been relegated to the class of wall-flowers on the Emory campus and it is now "My High Yellow Baby" for to Emory's imposing array of Greeks has been added the Alpha Omega chaptcr of "I Gotta Mop." Membership is restricted to janitors of buildings on the campus, and Alphonso Mathews, long-time dean of 1 local wielders of the mop and custo| dian of the Lucius Quintus CincinI natus Lamar school of law, has been acclaimed as the "prcs-I-dent." Although the more intimate of the 1 chaptcr secrets are kept within the knowledge of the members, Robert, the head man in the physics building, who is, by the way, Brother House manager, has disclosed that that admittance to the sacred halls of the lodge (the highway lab room), may only be had after giving three sound and distinct knocks on the outer portals, which will in turn be answered by a similar series of raps from within provided any of the "brothers" are at "home." Now "Ike, fche parson," diminutive lackey for the "house that Parker built," better known perhaps as the Theology building, came through with the whistle. Says Ike, it is given by a couple of short blasts with a similar tremolo twist as a grand finale, and the answering brother gives somewhat the reverse thereof. Being but a pledge, Lige Morrison, keeper of "Jemison Hall," refused to make any statement to the press and remained altogether as silent as a collar button under a bureau, but it didn't take much probing to get Dr. Guy's "Sam," the h-2-o boy from the scent pot of the campus, to disclose that the pass word is "knocking about, brother," and the answer is "yes, brother, knocking about." Horace\james, the pride of the athletic association and a former member of the Black and White stables, was next in line for the pres-I-dency, but when he recently severed his relations with the University for other fields (and roads) lie became a mere wearer of an alumni charm, and will be invited back occasionally to talk to the neophytes on founders' day, etc. The faculty advisers to the club are Professors J. B. Peebles and J. G. Lester, of the engineering department, who gave the mother chapter of "I Gotta Mop" its start by donating the highway lab as a temporary chapter room. ?The Emory Wheel.
