PRECEDING THE competition,
the participating groups will
march around the University's
original "forty acres". The par-
aders will begin at 7 p.m. in front
of Angell Hall. From there they
will go down State Street to South
University, then to East University
and North University. The march
will end at the mall next to the
League.
Originating in 1913, the pro-
gram started as a women's field
day held at Palmer Field. All
the women on campus partici-
pated in various races and
events, but gradually class stunts
began to take the spotlight. The
first line of march took place
around Palmer Field in 1932.
At this time all the seniors car-
ried lanterns, from which the
name Lantern Night was derived.
The juniors carried hoops through
whcih the freshmen jumped.
TODAY ONLY the -first five
women leading the procession will
carry lanterns, and each senior
will be flanked by four underclass-
men. Each class will sport its
traditional colors; the juniors will
have yellow hair bows ,the sopho-
mores red and the freshmen green.
Leading the march this year
will be Patricia McKenna, presi-
dent of the League; Mary Carolyn
Wright, chairman of the Women's
Interviewing Committee; Patricia
Hannagan, chairman of the Wo-
men's Judiciary Council; Mary
Stierer, president of the Panhel
Boprd; Arlette Harbour, president
of Assembly, and Gwen Sperlich,
president of WAA.

Games, Fun
To HighlightI
HillelPicnic
Hillel will round out a full so-
cial year with a picnic to be held
from 7 to 10:30 p.m. today at the
Foundation on Hill Street.
The co-chairmen of the Social
Committee, Eleanor Goldman and:
Paul Siegal, are hoping that the
weatherman will continue the cur-
rent show of favorable elements
since most of the events are sched-
uled to take place on the two and
a half acres of grounds surround-
ing the Foundation.-F
Movies will be shown on a
screen erected on the back wall
of the building. They will depict
the antics of cartoon characters.
Guests will perform their own
antics in the form of games on
the back lawn.
Play - weary participants will
have a chance to rest while re-
freshments are served. These will
include soda, pretzels, potato chips
and other picnic foods. There will
also be a marshmallow roast to
add to the outdoor activities.
There will be dancing in the
natural setting and cool spring
breezes of the terrace and in the
basement of the Foundation. Mu-
sic in both instances will be pro-
vided by records.

Confused pledges scrubbing side-

to serenade fraternities and por-

familiar sights around campus.

THOSE TELEPHONING many
sororities were greeted with hu-
morous songs proclaiming "I'm a
lowly pledge" and asking such
questions as, "Which of our love-
ly girls, which. of our gorgeous
pearls would you care to murmur
idle words with?"
One caller who insisted he was
a scout for the Metropolitan
Opera begged a pledge to sing
it again because he wanted to
sign her up. The girl wasn't
fooled however, because she had
known for years that she was a
hopeless monotone.
At least one impatient "kill-joy"
hung up on pledges who were giv-

ing out their "lovely melody". The
girls admitted it was quite frus-
trating.
SOME PLEDGES were forced
to crawl through the back door on
their hands and knees whenever
they wanted to enter the house.
Others had to climb stairs back-
wards reciting on each step, "I ex-
ist solely for the delight of the
actives."
Pledges at the Alpha Xi house
who thought they would be
starved, quickly changed their
minds when they were court-
eously invited to supper by the
actives.
All arrived at the house with
ravishing appetites only to be
marshalled into the living room,
have their hands tied together
and newspaper dunce caps placed
on their heads. At the table the
only silverware provided was a
knife.
