nesday by Bob Leadley, writer of
the show.
Chorus tryouta will continue to

"We need from 8 to 10 songs for
the show," Leadley said, "and only
3 have been submitted so far.
This is a wonderful opportunity
for songwriters to tryout their tal-
, ents."
Songs are needed especially for
T- the parts of Helsinki, the president
I of Funl.ind, and Egor, dictator of
Rush. The show is built around
J conflict between the two charac

Leadley said. Two songs are

In view of the fact that the stu

By Bob A Id rich.
Tom Dewey, racket buster, came
to town yesterday.

campus, chatted with the Tassels

Sandwiching in a brief Interlude

amid the packed schedule of Re
publican Founder's Day, Dewey
scored 100 percent on at least one
presidential requirement: affabil

hands like a wrestler, remembered
newsmen's names, and snapped
answers like rubber bands.

He dodged specific statements
on the farm question by referring
to his Wednesday night speech.
He said that the matter of his

Being a non-partisan body
composed of senior leaders, the
Innocents Society is the logical
sponsor of the work of junior

We are prepared to assume fi

party in the same manner that
the Student Council has in the
past, and pledge every assistance
to the Prom committee in making
each year's party a success.
If the committee sees fit to
grant our request for sponsorship
of the Prom, we will draw up and
submit for approval plans for the
election of the committee.
