Mushroom
Lore Sprouts
In Love
Mushrooms have taken
the. spotlight at Love Li
brary this week.
A display has been set up
by Eugene Muench, assist
ant librarian, to celebrate
the acquisition of "Mush
rooms. Russia and History,"
two volumes of mushroom
lore by Valentina Pavlovna
and R. Gordon Wasson.
Expensive
Models of mushrooms, lit-
erary reviews and illustra
tions surround the glass-encased
books hi,'h cost
125.
"Since the library could
not afford such an ex
pense," stated Muench, "I
went to each department to
raise the money." Agricul
ture and anthropology de
partments contributed as
did the science, social stu
dies and humanities divi
sions of the library.
Only 512 copies of the set
have been published, ac
cording to Muench. Three
hundred and fifty copies are
all that are released to the
public.
Mushrooms and Folks
"Mushrooms. Russia and
History" is a study of
mushrooms and their effect
on people, their cultures and
their feelings. People are
types and mycophilla
types. The former have w
divided into mycophobia
olent fear of mushrooms,
while the latter love them.
Wasson. a vice president
of J. P. Morgan & Co.,
and his wife, a Russian-born
physician, made a com
plete survey of the effects
that mushrooms have on
mycophobic and mycophil
11c societies all oer the
world. The book is the re
sult of this research.
Such diverse magazines
as life. The New Yorker.
The French Academy of
Sciences and The American
Anthropologist have re
viewed the book in addition
to the scientific journals in
which such a review would
be Lkely to appear.

The mock election that

Election boards similar to

Fire that flared up in an
incinerator at Selleck Quad
rangle early Monday morn
ing caused damage esti
mated at $500 to intercom
munication systems leading
to three buildings, accord
ing to Albert Calvert, resi

Calvert said. "We think
it (the cause of the fire)
was probably someone's
cigarette butts."
According to Calvert,
there are chutes on each
floor which lead to a garb
age room where paper is
collected.
"However," he continued,
"we don't feel that any ma
liciousness was involved."
The fire raised a 12:02

only smoke and a bad odor
reported at the time.

Delta act, "Jumbledivy."
Shelia Scott was skitmaster.
"Panic at the Plaza," the
Delta Gamma skit with
Ruth Adams as skitmaster
received the third place
trophy.
Traveler Acts
Towne Club was awarded
the first place trophy for their
travelers act, "Raggedy Ann
and Andy." Second place
went to Edythe Morrow and
Prudie Morrow for their
song and dance traveler act,
"Oomph Appeal".
Final judges for the awards
were Esther Meacham, Dor
othy Maxwell, Earl Jenkins,
Robert Hough and John
Wiley.
Coed Follies was sponsored
by AWS. Nancy Copeland was
Coed Follies chairman and
Mistress of Ceremonies. As
sisting her were Linda Walt,
skitmaster; Barbara Bacon,
stage manager and Jan
Dwarak, sound and lights.
Skit Themes
"The Veil Tale" had as its
main theme the unveiling of
Moslem women. Three report
ers from the United Stages
encourage this action. Al
though the women say that
they can not remove their
veils, they are convinced that
something must be done to
get the sultan to notice them
and forget about spending all
of his time with the boys.
Joan Riha. skitmaster, is fea
tured as the leading dancer.
"Raggedy Ann and Andy,"
the winning travelers act,
was a song with motions
about Raggedy Ann and her
pinmate who had been un
true. With accordian accom
paniment, fifteen girls plot to
get Andy back. The surprise
conclusion finds that Andy
has been behind Raggedy Ann
all the time. Pat Beckman
was skitmaster.
The second place skit,
"Jumbledivy," was a glance
at a future Ivy Day. Because
of the emphasis on science,
Ivy Day had been shortened
to 10 minutes. The Ivy Day
Queen, pages, Mortar Boards
and ivy Day Sing chorus all
had to do their parts in dou
ble time to make the day and
"Jumbledivy" a success.
"Panic at the Plaza", the
Delta Gamma third place
skit dealt with Eloise and how
she got a Triple A rating for
the New York Plaza Hotel.
When Huncan Dines comes to
rate the Plaza, everyone
fears that Eloise will spoil
their efforts, but she man
ages to convince Huncan
Dines that the Plaza is the
best hotel.
Prudie and Edie Morrow's
second place travelers act
consisted of a song and dance
routine about two girls who
didn't have any oomph ap
peal, They bemoan the fact
that they don't get to go to
parties and have dates. Their
sack dress outfits make the
reason for their lack of pop
ularity evident.
Other Skits
Other skits in the show in
cluded "Nautical Neurosis",
the Gamma Phi Beta skit
about a girl who couldn't
stand fishing until she begins
to enjoy it through several
songs and dances. Nancy
Belschner was skitmaster.
"Hark, Hark, the Ark or
Forty Damp Days" was the
contribution of the Delta
Delta Delta sorority. Their
act, directed by G lend a
Klein, concerned Noah and
the animals. It differed from
the Biblical tale in that Mrs.
Noah had to bring her bridge
club 'along for company.
The Chi Omega skit, direct
ed by Blanche Miskovsky,
was entitled "Tamale and the
Bandito." Punchy P a n c h o,
the presidente, is captured by
the police after they learn of
a revolution which took away
his title. Another revolution,
however, saves the day.
More Travelers
The other traveler acts
were the Alpha Omicron Pi
skit, "More fun than a. . .",
which was directed by Mar
gee Rohwer. Monkeys kept
coming from a barrel during
the entire act.
"Blues Medley", the Kappa
Alpha Theta travelers act
with Helen Hockabout, Dolly
Swift, Prudie Morrow and
Gayle Peddie, featured a
medley of three songs, "Blue
, Mnnn."
Blue Skies and
j "Great Day."
