Proceeds to Obtain
Popular Dance Band
for Campus Day Event
Following discussions within the
student council and among campus
groups, a plan to stage a giant cam¬
pus carnival March 19-20 In Educa¬
tion hall, was presented to the
student body at a convocation Tues¬
day morning.
In explaining the festival idea,
John Mares, senior, campus recrea¬
tion director, pointed out that the
affair would require the cooperation
of the entire student body. “This
is an opportunity for all who have
the time and interest to contribute
their services in a satisfying pro¬
ject” said Mares.
The purpose of the event, it was
explained, is two-fold. First, it will
provide an occasion on which all
friends and relatives of students
and of the university, can gather to¬
gether on the campus to enjoy a
social evening. Secondly, the funds
raised will be used to guarantee a
successful campus day, with one of
the nation’s top dance bands fur¬
nishing music for the evening’s tra¬
ditional dance.
Along with gaining the satisfaction
of staging a successful, all-school
project. Mares stated, participating
students will be affording the stu¬
dent council an opportunity to be¬
come established on a self-sustain¬
ing basis, simplifying the organiza¬
tion and presentation of other activ¬
ities of interest and value to the
student body.
Following the assembly, Mares dis¬
closed that over 40 men had prom¬
ised to take an active part in car¬
nival production, which will require
committees for publicity, decora¬
tion, prizes, tickets as well as the
erection, construction and operation
of booths. Interested students who
were unable to volunteer at Tues¬
day’s assembly are urged .to contact
Mares or leave their names at the
Beacon office.

Gleemen president.

mence immediately following the
