Firefighters arrived at the senior society Wolf’s Head last night to deactivate a false fire alarm. In their haste to disarm the system, the firefighters left the door open; one News reporter who interviewed a firefighter inside the Wolf’s Head lobby saw a ledger of names, the stuffed head of an unidentified feline (ironically, not a wolf), and a bulletin board with names of Egyptian gods split into two groups, “In Egypt” and “Out of Egypt.” More News staff members attempted to enter the building, but a Wolf’s Head member vigorously closed the front door to keep the property’s contents secret. For more information on Wolf’s Head and other secret societies at Yale, see page B1.

This day in Yale history
1941 Alumnus Dave Dellinger ’36 returned to campus to speak about his experience in prison. Dellinger, who spent a year in the Danbury, Conn. penitentiary, was sentenced for refusing to register for the draft. Although he opposed the draft on principle, Dellinger said he found the prison experience to be rewarding. “If every college man would take a year off from his studies and voluntarily spend that period in a prison, he would be vastly better educated,” Dellinger said.
