A loudspeaker, trumpet, siren, search-light, and assorted student outcries marked the coming of Election Day in the Lowell House small courtyard last night.
Starting at midnight, a loudspeaker from the southern end of the courtyard started blaring out, "Achtung! Achtung! Comes the Revolution the blood will flow."
This announcement was greeted by a flood of catcalls from other rooms facing on the courtyard and a trumpet in the northern end started blaring out "Harvardiana."
Alarm clocks then began ringing, and a siren wall went up. The loudspeaker replied to this with, "Communication between entries of Lowell House is strang verboten." Firecrackers started exploding, and a searchlight from a fourth or fifth story room began to sweep the courtyard.
The final touch was added to the proceedings when, after peace was restored, a harmonica filled the otherwise hushed courtyard air with strains of "Silent Night."
A janitor's arrival stopped the outbreak after 10 minutes.
