to make any more comparisons.
A friend, Pat Miles, patriotically
added that the University was
superior academically.
Praises Program
Dom Kostre, who took graduate
work at the University, teacher and
counselor at Grosse Ile High
School, praised the program and
said he planned to bring students
here again if there is sufficient in-
terest in his school.
John Ross, '61, cnairman of the
Union portion of the day praised
the efforts of the tour group lead-
ers as the "key to the program."
He said a possible improvement
in the next University Day would
be to have guests eat in sorority
and fraternity houses as well as
the quadrangles.

at 7:30 p.m. Monday in Hill Auditorium. Ten fraternities, each supported by a sorority, will compete

Although the "invisible curtain"
of Hill Auditorium will rise at

Filipiak acting as master of cere-
monies of the Sing, the entertain-
ment will actually begin at 7:10.
Sororities To Support
At that time the first of the
supporting sororities will enter the
auditorium. Each of these soror-
ities is rooting for a fraternity
which was chosen by lot.
Both the fraternities and the

ing in the Sing. The latter on their

Doors will open at 7 p.m., per-
mitting the audience to view the
performances of the supporting
sororities who will each be allowed
a two-minute entrance, Miss Rain-
water said.
They will also be allowed a
couple of minutes while their fra-
ternities enter the stage and can"
give a short yell when they con-
clude, she added.
Michael Sklar, '60, Greek Week
co-chairman, said he hoped the
"attendence will be equally com-
posed of affiliates and non-affili-
ates." The event itself is offered
to the campus and the commu-
nity."
Received Well
The IFC Sing, Sklar continued,
"has been well received by the'
city, and I hope this year is no
exception."
Other activities of Greek Week
in addition to the Sing include a
presidents' banquet, exchange din-
ners, a pick-up jazz concert, a
house mothers' party, a bridge
tournament and a picnic.
However the highlight of Greek
Week will be the jazz concert fea-
turing Erroll Garner, jazz pianist,
Sklar said. This will be at 8 p.m.
Friday, in Hill Auditorium.
Tickets are now on sale at the
auditorium, Sklar said.
One girl mentioned that. she
was surprised to see that Prof.
Slosson used no notes in his lec-
ture, during which he character-
ized a radical as a "liberal in a
hurry."
Prof. Sherman performed, with
the help of some of his audience,
experiments with a geiger counter
to test whether certain materials
block radioactive particles.
Many of the visitors .ate in the
residence halls, and after lunch
another program was staged in
Hill Aud. Members of the Gilbert
and Sullivan Society, performing
