is described as combining a deep
seriousness with an irrepressible

sorry for himself. Audiences are
impressed by his wit, sincerity,
tolerance and his wisdom on in
ternational wisdom.
Student Talent
In Floor Show
For Ag Dance
It is a known fact that consider
able amounts of talent roam the
ag campus as the years come and
go. Much of this ability has gone
unnoticed during the owner's ten
ure on the campus.
In an effort to reveal some of
the prospective ability to the stu
dents, Jack DeWulf, chairman of
the union dance committee, has
announced that tomorrow night's
will feature an intermission floor
show.
Program Plans.
Due to the shortness of time
forced upon them by vacation, the
committee has had little time to
arrange the program and, as yet,
plans are incomplete. However, a
Spanish dance by Beverly Ewald,
with Sue Fishwood at the piano,
and some selected vical numbers
by Neal Baxter are already on the
docket.
Contrary to previous publicity,
the "post-vacation hoofing party"
will feature dancing with Bobby
Mills orchestra from 9-12 and not
from 8-11.30. The dance will be
held in the auditorium of College
Activities building.
Ticket Sales.
Tickets for the dance are on
sale at $1.50 per couple in the ag
union. Single tickets may also be
purchased at the door the night
of the dance.
This will be the first dance
to be sponsored at ag by the
newly-formed activities board
dance committee. DeWulf ex
pressed hope that students would
support the dance so that similar
affairs could be presented in the
future. .
Future plans of the union ac
tivities commitee call for a va
riety show similar to the perform
ance given at the main union.
Anyone knowing of parL:Tular tal
ent possessed by studers on the
campus should contact the committee.
