Spring Weekend Activities Given
By Uncle Swen with Newsletter*
To Start Book Drive
"Hi, I'm Swen!
"Since the gala Spring Weekend
festival presented by the Union
and the Women's. Athletic Asso-
ciation is being held in my honor,
I thought an account of my dark
and mysterious past might be
timely.
"If I mention time it is because
in this event I have definite
seniority, being as old as the hills,
not to mention the valleys, lakes,
and iri fact, the world.
Started Early
"I made my artistic, debut at
the first blast of all time, the Ne-
andertal Cotillion . .And so
*down through the ages I've been
extremely busy orgarzizing various
social functions for such notables
as King George, Aga Kahn and
Elsa Maxwell.
"These positions however, have
served only to bring me to the
highlight of my career, which is
the 1959 Spring Weekend at the
University."
So reads Uncle Swen's letter to
the students of the University.
Starts Friday
Spring Weekend, this Friday,
April 24, and Saturday, April 25,
will see activities ranging from a
bicycle race on Palmer Field to a
Skit Night program at Hill Aud.
Beginning the weekend will be
the bicycle event in the form of
a tandem bicycle race on Palmer
Field at 3:15 p.m. Composed of bi-
cycles with three or more conven-
tional wheels, the event will fea-
ture vehicles with two crews of
four riders each - two men and
two women. The race will be a re-
lay, with each crew riding half of
the course.
Entitled "Arctic Cycle," the
race represents the northern sec-
tion of the United States. At least
one crew taking part in the race
must be costumed in conforma-
tion with the theme, "Homestead-
ing to Alaska."
Follows Parade
The race follows a parade which
starts at the Diag and ends at
Palmer Field. Once there, each
bike taking part in the race must
make one lap around the west
hockey field .nearest Forest Ave-
nue on the field - exchanging
crews at the halfway mark. There
will be six heats with six entrants
in each division and the winner
of each one will compete in the
final heat.
Trophies will be awarded to
first and second place winners
and points will be given for cos-
tume and for the first four places
in the race. Additional costume
prizes will be awarded by several
Ann Arbor clothing stores.
Bicycles for the event will be
judged on the basis of originality,
mechanical design ,of the cycle,
humor and enthusiasm of partici-
pants and adaptability to theme.

My
TROJAN
Treasure Chest
I h
Phylis5 solves
a
Pressing Problem
When not mooning over lepidoptera, Phyllis man-
ages to display a practicality more than worthy of a
freshman,
In fact, the minute she returned from that mad
week in Fort Lauderdale, Phyllis gave earnest thought
to her winter wardrobe. She reasoned that spring had
arrived; that her precious cashmere sweaters, Irish
tweeds, and Goldfine vicunas needed complete protec-
tion from her little friends' the clothes moth and the
silverfish. (Even a budding entomologist must draw the
line somewhere.)
After much 'dithering and quivering, Phyllis, like
all sensible Michigan girls,
TURNED TO TROJAN
She had discovered that Trojan provides a huge
hamper for winter clothes, stores it all summer long
for just $4.95. No moth can corrupt, nor damp
destroy, when clothes are safely locked up in Trojan's
temperature-controlled vault.
To top it off, Trojan delicately cleans and presses
A11 the clothes in the hamper at regular rates, delivers
them fashion-fresh and ready for wear whenever you
wish' them in the fall. Every garment is completely
guaranteed and insured!
As you have noticed, Phyllis inclines towards
hyperbole. Ah well, she is young. And who are we to
argue if she calls her hamper a "Trojan Treasure
Chest"?
Shucks. .
