Coeds To Play
In Tournament
Only half of those coeds who
are signed up to play in the Wom-
en's All Campus Badminton Tour-
nament, are scheduled to play Sa-
turday, due to the large number of
women who wish to participate.
Jeri Mulson, manager, said that
there are 286, coeds who wish to
play which has made it impos-
sible to run off even the first
round of the tournament on the
originally scheduled day, Satur-
day.
Those women whose last names
begin with the letters A through C,
and all those women who were
asked to play and could not last
night, are to play off their game
at 1:30 p.m. Saturday in Barbour
Gym-
At 2:15 will be women whose
last names begin with the letters
D through G; at 3:15 p.m. are H
through K and at 3:45 p.m. are
1 through O, all to be played at
Barbour Gym.
Women with last names begin-
ning with P through Z will play
their first round at 7:15 p.m.
Wednesday in Barbour Gym. If
they cannot play at this time, they
should contact Miss Mulson,
2-5618, by Monday for an excuse,
or else they will default.
Miss Mulson stressed the im-
portance of everyone attending
at their scheduled time so that
the tournament can be run off as
smoothly as possible.
Racquets can be rented at the
gym for a small fee and birds
should be supplied by the player.

and false fronts of typical Bow-
ery establishments.
On the terrace Bowery Cabaret

checkered tablecloths.
PROGRAMS will also help to
carry out the theme by featuring
some aspect of the Bowery.
Frank Tinker and his Union
Orchestra will provide music for
the dance. In keeping with the
spirit of the event, the orchestra
wil dress as bums. For the oc-
casion they have changed their

A medley of Bowery tunes will
be a feature of the musical en-
tertainment of the evening.

"LACE IT UP" - a sneak pre-
view that is - will be the high-
light of the intermission enter-
tainment. Several scenes from the
men's Union Opera will be pre-
sented.
Dress down, not up. Those
attending thedance are urged
to dress as Bowery characters.
The costumes may range any-
where from that of a Bowery
maid or a Bowery tramp to
tuxedos and formals which may
be worn by those who are "slum-
ming."
There are actually no, restric-
tions on the type of costume to
be worn. The only stipulation is
that couples must come dressed
as people they might expect to
find in the Bowery. Gay Nineties
costumes may be worn.

led by Dr. Ronald Freedman, So-

"WE REALLY KNOW what it
was like back in the days before
Edison," said one coed who was
caught washing ler hair one night
when the lights suddenly went
out.
It appears that electric lights,
clocks and radios have been go-
ing, on and off periodically for
a week while electric company
employees attempt to discover
the source of the trouble.
As'one of the men tried in vain
to explain to a baffled coed, "The
220 line got crossed with the 110
line coming into the house and .
but we're working on it."
THE LIGHTS in the living room
have been the only ones which
continue to function during the
blackout periods; consequently
this room has proved to be quite
a popular place for 21 coeds to
study, play bridge and put up their
hair at various intervals during
the night.
"The lights go out - and we
all reach for our cigarettes and
a deck of cards and head for the
living room," said one sopho-
more. "It's a very chummy ar-
rangement for awhile, then the
electricity goes back on and
conditions are normal again."
One of the coeds fondly remem-
bers the night she spent in frantic
search for her bobby pins and
curlers with only a miniature
Girl Scout flashlight as an aid.

A MAN NAMED "Joe" and an-
other called "Bob" have been
