Bouncer Gets Thrown Out By Blitzkrieg Law And Order Gets Gate For 20 Minutes Loquaciousness Blamed Holmcs Dreher, sergeant-at arms of the Clariosophic Literary Society, was deposed for 20 min utes Tuesday night. But that was long enough for McDuffie Put nam, acting sergeant-at-arms, to eject the loquacious Dreher from the society chambers. Dreher, recently elected vice president of the rising junior class, was tossed out because he repeatedly interrupted the visiting speaker, Matthew Poliakoff of the Euphradians. The sergeant-at-arms, contest ing the president's ruling on the admission of new members, had been doing a rubber ball act on the floor seeking recognition when ruled out of order. Acting presi dent Paul Holscher ordered Dreher escorted from the hall. Several members of the society pounced upon the elongated Dreher and dragged him to the door, despite his frantic struggles. During the fight most of the chairs were upset, and chaos reigned for several minutes. After a 15 minute absence from the hall, Dreher returned, but a motion for adjournment passed before he could cause any more trouble. In explaining his position, Drefier pointed out that a rival faction had attempted to railroad a batch of new members into the society in time for the approach ing election. Poliakoff, in spite of Dreher's repeated attempts at heckling and in the face of a very stormy ses sion, made a patriotic, heart- stir ring speech on Democracy.
