Barbs Will Hold

... StaAt SocietL U)hihL
BY MARJORIE MAY.
No fanfare, no rallies, littlc'publicity and not even an elec
tion in sight and 1 Vie barbs are in the news again.
Coming up with the initiative of organized barb groups on
the campus, lnterhouse Council will sponsor a "whistle'' dance
tonight in the l.'nion ballroom for unaffiliated students.
This is the second in a series of such "whistle" parties, the
first presented by the NIA in the parlors before vacation, lnter
house Council, an organization to which all organized women's
co-ops, the dorm, and Towne Club may send representatives, is
holding this month's "whistle'' dancesignificance of which is
a secret in the Union ballroom. Jt will last from 9 until J 2
tonight.
Dates and Stags Invited.
Master-of-eeremonies at the barb affair will be Jimmie
Howe, Brown Palace Co-op man, and members of the lnterhouse
Council will help in mixing the dancers. Sponsored not so much
as date affairs, these parties are given as social events where
unaffiliated students may get to know each other better.
Members of the eight or nine co-ops on the campus have
been doing most of the work of getting the barb social season
started and keeping it going. With
the inactivity of the NIA Council
as the NIA Council, the task of
providing unaffiliated students on
the campus with organized parties
and dances has devolved to other,
supposedly subordinate groups.
Co-op Coeds Group.
Probably the most active of
these organizations, the lnterhouse
Council was started two years ago
by BABW so that boarding house
coeds might discuss mutual proD
lems and find ways to co-operate
Since then it has functioned unob
trusively with meetings every
week or two with speakers, discus
sion groups, aid to the NIA Coun
cil when needed, and planning of
various kinds of parties, both for
