will begin at 7:30 p.m. Friday in
Yost Field House, and will con-
tinute on Saturday night, is the
latest in a long line of campus
carnivals.
The semi-annual affair began
back in 1901 and received its first
official name in 1905 when it was
dubbed theCounty Fair. The $4,-
000 profit was used to purchase
land for the Michigan Union
Clubhouse.
Seemingly the campus wasn't
carnival-minded for quite a while,
for the event wasn't held again
until 1924. This time funds went
towards the Union swimming pool.
Every little pop-corn ball helped.
The WAA carried on the tradi-
tion from 1927-37. A bang-up
Penny Carival in 1927 contribut-
ed half its proceeds to the League
fund, and sure enough, in 1928 we
had the League.
Then in 1937 the carnival was
given the title Michigras, spiffed
up, enlarged and presented in
Yost Field House for the first time.
Part of the proceeds provided the
needed push for the men's dorm
building committee, and the rest
of the funds were earmarked for
the women's swimming pool.
1939 - another big year with
Michigras contributing to the
band, glee club, WAA, and Student
Good Will Fund.
Michigras went into retirement
during the war years, but re-ap-
peared in 1946 bigger and brighter
than before as Michelodeon.
Rae Keller and Keith Jordan,
co-chairmen of the 1948 Michigras
promise that this year will be "the
best ever." Proceeds will go to the
women's swimming pool and the
Fresh Air Camp.

Tower Wall
Still. Stands
Don't get excited, the carillon
tower is not collapsing.
Contrary to rumors circulating
around campus since late last
week, the Burton Memorial tower
is still planted firmly in the'
ground behind Hill Auditorium,
University building department
officials said yesterday.
The rumors began when work-
ers started to take out a partition
in one of the rooms of the tower.
The vibrations, felt throughout
the building, gave rise to stories
that one wall of the building was
in danger of collapsing.
