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.
