Good Luck
Standing on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean just before
sunrise can put you in a great state of mind and can bring
you a world of good luck. If you then take a quarter out
of your pocket
and throw it out into the ocean as far as you can it will
bring you 25 days of good luck. This all must be done before
the sun rises.

COLLEGE TRADITION
AT BALL STATE UNIVERSITY IN INDIANA, THE FINANCIAL AFFAIRS OF THE SCHOOL HAVE BEEN GREATLY AIDED BY THE MILLIONAIRE BALL FAMILY. THE FIVE BROTHERS WERE REPRESENTED IN A MEMORIAL AREA BY FIVE STATUES AT THE TOP OF FIVE PILLARS AROUND A SMALL COURTYARD. THIS AREA WAS CALLED "BENIFICENCE" AND HAD ITS OWN TRADITION. IT WAS SAID THAT A GIRL STUDENT WAS NOT REALLY A "COED" UNTIL SHE HAD BEEN KISSED UNDER
BENIFICENCE AT TWELVE MIDNIGHT (GIRL'S DORMS LOCKED UP AT ELEVEN). AT THE TIME OF THE KISS, IF THE GIRL WAS A VIRGIN, THE STATUES WOULD ALL SMILE.
