LOCAL SORORITY ACTS
Raising their own record of a
week ago and shoving all previous
tabulations into comparative ob
livion an unprecedented number of
600 summer session students at
tended the third all-university
dance held at the coliseum last
Friday evening.
Two weeks ago when a total
approximating 500 summer school
students attended the second party
sponsored by the student Kxecu
tive committee those in charge
were highly pleased. An all time
record, they said, had been set, and
the attendance merited use of the
colesium for another party. That
all time record has now been over
shadowed by another one, far more
imposing.
"Exceedingly gratified am I to
see this continued co-operation on
the part of summer students," Pro
fessor Lantz has commented. "It
is an indication that they are by
no means as blind to the advan
tages of wholesome recreation as
some people might have us believe.
