Friday 13: Marigum Flooded
When Radiator Spews Amuck
Pet Cockroach Drowned;
Second, Third Floor Rooms
Becomes Pools For Wet Clothes
By RUSH HAMRICK
Friday the 13 jinx literally poured
m on Mangum dormitory yesterday
afternoon when approximately 100
gallons of water burst from a de
fective radiator coupling in room 303.
Clothes in three closets were drenched,
the strings in a tennis racquet were
broken, and John, a pet cockroach,
was killed in room 212.
Barefooted and clad only in shorts,
20 boys and all the quadrangle jani
tors worked for about one hour to
halt the flow of water. Several candid
camera cranks were on the scene, snap
ping pictures from every angle.
BEGINNING OF FLOOD
i
Hunter Heath, one . occupant of 303,
had just pulled off his pants and was
standing by his bed when the coupling
broke and water shot out of the pipes J
into the face of the other roommate,
Wes Goodin, who was reading Chaucer. ;
Clothes in both closets were soaked as
water rushed through the doors. For
a time, water was a foot deep on the
third floor hall.
Suddenly, it flowed down the stairs
and through the walls to the second
floor where it reached a maximum
depth of six inches. From here it ran
to the first floor and then out the
northern door of the dormitory.
Rooms receiving the greater part of
the water were on the third and
second floors.
Mopping up the water, Leroy
Smith, head janitor, said, "I just
wouldn't know what happened!" Brick
Wall, chairman of senior class execu
tive committee stated, "It's a helluva
mess!" Heath, an early victim, said,
"Now I know how Noah felt."
Treasurer of the Young Democrats
club, Buddy Nordan exclaimed, "The
greatest flood since Noah." Ruffin oc
cupants yelled across the quadrangle,
"That's the first time Mangum has
been cleaned in 10 years." The dormi
tory president, Herb Hardy, stated,

Battling a major foe for the first
time this season, unbeaten Carolina
meets undefeated NYU in Kenan sta

It will be a game of revenge for the

The Violets come seeking revenge
and come with one of the most heralded
