Madrigals
To Portray
Traditions
Singers To Honor
English Festivities
Hymns, customs and leg
ends four centuries old will
once again be followed as the
University Madrigal Singers
portray the English Christ
mas feast Thursday night at
7:30.
The 31 singers will sit
around a table covered with
a white cloth and set with
candles, goblets and a punch
bowl. A large poinsetta will
be in the background.
Waiters dressed in 16th cen
tury garb will make it pos
sible for the audience to take
part in the festivities. They
will serve flaming fruit
cake, apple cider and the
traditional boor's head.
Madrigal singing originated
with vl6th and 17th century
customs of sitting around a
table singing during social
affairs and dinners.
The University group
started 13 years ago and was
one of the first college mad
rigal groups to organize in
this country.
Besides the traditional car
ols, the program will include
"The Shepherd's Chorus"
from Amahl and the Night
Visitors by Menotti, "T'was
the Night Before Christ
mas," a ' solo "Lullaby On
Christmas Eve" by Terry
Otto, and "The Cherry Tree
Carol," also by a soloist. -
John Moran, Madrigal di
rector, said that the group is
unique in that the women's
sections are made up almost
entirely of freshmen students
while the male sections are
made up of upperclassmen.
Special entertainment will
be presented during intermis
sion. The program is being
sponsored by the student Un
ion music committee in con
junction with the department
of music.
'Katastrophe'
Travelers To
Show Has
Backstage
Work, Too
Kosmet Workers
Carry the Load
Although many witnessed
Kosmet Klub's Fall Revue
Friday night, few. realized
the backstage effort involved.
All set changes and props
for traveler acts were maneu
vered into place by Kosmet
Klub workers. The workers
are sophomores who are at
tempting to accumulate
enough points to gain con
sideration for admission into
the Klub as juniors.
Behind Scenes
Friday night 17 workers
were behind the scenes of
the Revue. One was occupied
during the show with the task
of running one of the cur
tains. Two more were on the
large spotlights. Fourteen
were on hand to erect and
tear down the required sets.
Sets, which had been built
earlier by workers, were
placed in their respective
places with colored tape
strips used as guides.
The "poop deck" of the
Sigma Phi Epsilon skit had
to be placed on . white tape
strips and the Theta Xi love
seat stood on black tape.
Red tape marked the spot of
the Phi Kappa Psi ticket
booth and the Alpha Alpha
door in the Kappa Sigma skit
was on the green. The hang
ing tree of the Beta Theta
Pi skit covered yellow tape.
Workers also had to "fly"
various parts of each skit's
set so that it was possible to
drag the parts in the air
above the stage and lower
them at the correct time.
Specific Parts
Each worker was assigned
a specific part of a set to
erect during set changes.
They also had specific parts
to cart out of the way. '
Pianos, doors, walls,
schools, chairs, trees and a
tiny space-man were just a
few of the many objects
workers had to push, ptdl,
carry or tug off and on the
stage.
Smashed fingers, scraped
arms and cut hands were
minor injuries listed during
the action of scene changes
by workers and membrs of
the Klub.
In addition to building the
set for the participating
houses, workers also sold the
advertisments seen in the
program. Other odd jobs
ranged from sweeping dress
ing rooms after the show to
tearing down everything else
connected with the Revue
and cleaning.
After a brief rest, the work
ers will be back in a similar
position when they will again
be behind the scenes when
Kosmet Klub's Spring Show
is presented March 25.

ration.
But the sailors mutineed,
the captain was replaced and
the brog ration was tripled.

Sweatshirt Strip," centered
around a fraternity pledge

step of Alpha Alpha sorority
after hours after having too
much to drink.
