Campanile: 'Beat Cal'

'Immoral 12' Drape Banner From Tower

The Campanile went Stanford yesterday. For about 15 minutes at noon, California's answer to Hoover Tower sported a 100-foot-long banner that loudly proclaimed "Beat Cal" in bright rod letters.

Ten Stanford jokesters aided by two ex-Stanfordites now doing grad work at Cal, pulled off the gag. And they escaped without so much as a suspicious look from anybody at Cal.

The Immoral 12, as the dozen named itself, laid plans under the direction of Rich Garlinghouse. Tom Sherman and Craig Hooper scouted the area last week.

The banner, made of 12 bedsheets, some donated by houses and dorms, was sowed together and painted two nights ago to the consternation of a linen concessionaire.

The 12, also including Dave Kelly, Judy Lockridge, Eric Smith, Lunette Smith, Lynne Pain Wilkinson, Jim Hurlburt and tho two Cal students, loft yesterday at 9 a.m. for a Berkeley rendezvous.

Miss Ciiatterton, dressed as an expectant Mrs., and Hooper, representing her husband, went to the top of the Campanile. Under her maternity smock was the banner, while Hooper carried ropes, locks and chains in a briefcase. Seven of the group, dressed in Cal letterman jackets, rode up at the same time. While Hooper engaged the lone guard at the top in conversation about grad studies at Cal and 15 high school kids unintentionally crowded the scene, the banner was prepared for launching.

Working on the opposite side of the tower from the guard, Carlinghouse and Sherman threw the banner over the side and affixed it with chains and locks. Kelly. Smith and one of the grad students quickly attached chains from the bottom lo a convenient fire hydrant.

The nine in the tower descended Via the elevator, just in time lo meet a group of Cal students who brushed by on their way to cut down The offending sheets. Smith and one of the grad students meanwhile calmly took pictures from the ground. And then the group left.

According to the Daily Calfornian, it took only about 15 minutes for the banner to be removed by students. Appropriately enough, the sheets were taken to the Oakland office of the linen company who owned them.
