Fun, Frolic for Everyone
To Witness
Thirty Booths
From 7 p.m. till 1 a.m. tonight
and tomorrow night Yost Field
House will be the scene of Michi-
gras, referred to by Life Magazine
as the biggest college weekend on
any campus!
To Our Youth (TOY) is the
theme of Michigras 1960, and it
will be carried out with noise, color
and excitement by thirty booths
representing the work of sixty
houses, sororities and fraternities.
Many Booths
Booths such as Pablum Panic,
T.G.I.F. (Toys 'n' Golf, It's Fun),
Space War, Fantasia, Babe'lin-
quency, Hurl-A-Hoop, The Old
Swimming Hole, and Every Child
Needs An Outlet will be seen. Pat-
rons have an opportunity to test
their aptitudes at running rail-
roads, throwing pablum, dunking
beautiful girls, and other practi-
cal skills.
Those who succeed will win
Michibucks, legal tender for prizes
ranging from cashemere sweaters
to free lubrication jobs for cars.
Give Rebate
After the profits from the carni-
val are totalled, each booth will
receive a certain percentage of its
initial investment back in rebate,
depending upon how much money
it took in. After that, the profits
will be donated to charity. In 1958
Michigras gave $38,000 to charity.
It is hoped that the 1960 contri-
bution will be still larger.

Zichigras Central Committee for
pproval.
Some of the booths were elimi-
ated. For those surviving, the
'ork was just beginning. The
esigns which looked so neat and
recise on paper had to be plan-I
ed and worked out to the small-
st detail.
Last Wednesday before Michi-
ras classrooms, libraries, and the
ilag, were mysteriously deserted.
Carpenters, electricians, dis-
acted Central Committee mem-
ers, and bleary-eyed booth chair-j
ien ran everywhere screaming
rders, directing maneuvers, hold-1
ig their breath. No one ate. No
ne studied. No one slept for a
eek, but at last the job was done.
The booths are now up, and as
he last pre-fabricated wall was
et in place, the resulting joy and
lief are enough to supply en-
rgy to keep these weary people
oing through the last big test-
[ichigras itself.

Decide Tomorrow
At 9 a.m. tomorrow the judges
will choose among the three top
booths in each category for the
one booth with the best general
appearance. A prize will also be
awarded to the booth selling the
most tickets. However, the vol-
ume of sales is expected to be so
great that it would be nearly im-
possible to count the tickets by
hand.
The tickets will therefore be
weighed in sealed containers and
the prize will be awarded to the
booth whose tickets weigh the
most. Tickets will be counted only
if the results are extremely close.
