'60 Begins Today with Field House 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.

A4 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.
