Weird
Corsages
Planned
By JUDY HAETMAV
Staff Writer
TEt is an old tradition that for
the Mortar Board Tournabout
Dance the girls completely take
over tbe boy's usual role for the
evening.
According to this, the girls should
caH for their dates, open doors
for them, help tea with their
coats, pay for the evening's ex
pense asd make strange corsages
for them among other things.
These corsages were usually in
he f am of hats. They could por-
trsv one rH vrntr A nt.p'i rrwria1
interests, airytbing which is
acteristic of him, or a part of
Christmas. For example: Sam
Jensen, rags; Jim Sweitxer, mega
phones; Charlie Gomon, crossed
guns; Rex Fischer, goal posts;
John Gourlay, a rusty old halo.
Eligible Bachelors being pre
sented at the Turnabout is another
old tradition which is being re
vived this year. Another old tradi
tion which you might want to fol
low op is that pledge classes of
the different years used to go to
tbe dance together.
- The theme for this year's Turn
about is Heaven Sent, complete
with clouds and angels as decora
tions, and followed tup by heavenly
music by Bud Holloway's orches
tra;. Carole Unterseber, Mortar
Board puhlicity chairman, said.
Joe HH1 is master of ceremonies.
Tickets for the Turnabout may
be purchased far 2 from mem

Since Charles is the only one
that can see or hear the spirit, his
second wife is doubtful as to bis

Crib, Parking, Auditorium Lead List
Expanded Crib facilities, park
ing near the Union, and a small
auditorium all ranked high with
students according to results of a
poll taken by tbe Union to help
determine general needs.
Duane Lake, Union managing di
rector, said that the poll will be
used to help determine what is
important in the first unit of ad
dition to the building and to aid
planning for future expansion.
The poll covered such facilities
as auto parking near the Union,
a small auditorium, a book and
supply store, barber shop facili
ties, additional meeting rooms, a
small party room, and expansion
of the present ballroom.
Students marked the survey
forms according to whether they
would use the facility frequently,
from time to time, or only rarely
or not at all.
The results were then broken
down into such classifications as
all students except Ag, men stu
dents except Ag, women students
except Ag, and total students in
cluding Ag.
The greatest single need indi
cated by students was an expand
ed Com Crib with a dancing
area, card facilities, and an adjoin
ing terrace. '
About 61 per cent of all students
polled, or 2232, said that they
would use this frequently. Another
21 per cent said that they needed
it from time to time.
Ranking second in importance
was a car parking area near the
Union. Approximately 53 per cent
of all students need this facility
frequently. Another IS per cent
need it from time to time.
Forty-three per cent of all the
students would use a small audi
torium very often, while 33 per
cent would use it occasionally.
The suggested auditorium would
hive a sloping floor and theater
seats, seating from 309 to 500, and
would be used for motion pictures,
lectures, musicals, forums, special
radio broadcasts and television
broadcasts.
A book and supply store to re
place the present Regents Book-
5ore location was rated as mean-j
irg a great oeai to s per cent

did cot consider it to be absolutely

Seventh Season:
Madrigal Concert

By XANCY COOYEB
Staff Writer
Social outcasts are common on
campus, if opinions are based on
the traditions of madrigal singing.
Back in the days of "Ye Merrie
Old England," when madrigal sing
ing bad its birth, any "lady" or
"gentleman who could not read
a madrigal at sight was consid
ered a social outcast.
Only 32 men and women are
members of this select group at
the University, The Madrigal Sing
ers, which wil bold its only con
cert especially for University stu
dents Dec. 15 at t p.m. in the
Union Main Lounge.
This year marks tbe seventh ;
full season for tbe Madrigal Sing-1
ers. During this and past years
their appearances have included
coast-to-coast broadcasts on the
Columbia Broadcasting System, ra
dio and television shows, record
ing sessions, tours and major con
certs. Programs are presented while
tbe singers are seated around a
table in tbe traditional madrigal
style. The listeners are asked to
think of tbe performance as a
gathering of good friends to en
joy good music, conversation, re
freshments and tbe evening to
gether. Tbe subject matter of madrigals
ranges through every conceivable
facet of life religion, politics,
dancing, drioking, card-playing,
conversation, nature, death and
all other phases of human thought
and experience.
