Very enthusiastic response was

the girls to serve, it was reported,
and only a few refusals were re

committee held yesterday, other
favorable reports were made. Wil

made a member of the committee
to replace Burton Marvin, who has
been ill, declared that the contacts
be had made with leaders of barb
organizations brought only state
ments of enthusiasm and of prom
ised support of the Friday affair.
That the party will incur no fi
nancial obligation for the seniors
was emphasized by the committee.
Don Easterday, class president,
stated at the meeting, "The cost
of the affair will be borne jointly
by the senior honoraries, the In
nocents and Mortar Boards. It will
be no expense to the members of
the class whatsoever."
"Furthermore," Easterday com
mented, 'inasmuch as the party is
a senior class function and for the
purpose of building up class spirit,
only seniors will be admitted and
they will be checked at the door
of the ballroom. He also stated
that further plans for class organ
ization will be announced at the
affair. In discussing the problem
of complete attendance, the com
mittee came to the conclusion that
"we do not waht seniors to fail to
attend the dance just because they
do not have dates. This is strictly
an individual and not a dating af
fair. We want everybody to min
