Fraternity men all over campus

when the Interfraternity Council
stages its annual IFC Week which

tradition, designed to focus atten-
tion on the fraternities and on
their campus functions.

cussions, help days and other proj-
ects have been scheduled to better
intercampus relations. This year,
however, only three events, mainly
social, will take place during the
gala Greek Week.

Greek Week and honors the old
and new fraternity house officers
and the new~ IFC officers who will
receive the traditional key as sym-
bol of their position.

THE DINNER is an invitational
event, strictly stag. A combo has
been engaged for entertainment
during and after dinner.
The following night, Thurs-
day, will see ten groups take the
stage of Hill Auditorium in turn

"Laudes Atque Carmina,""Night
and Dreams," and "Good Fel-
lows, Be Merry."
Continuing the list is "Sing,
Maiden, Sing," "The Heart Wor-
ships," "The Pirate Song" and
"Casey Jones."

THE GLEE CLUB, which has
behind it a long history, was
founded in 1859. From that day
to this it has increased its popu-
larity until it has performed on
radio, television, recordings and in
a motion picture short.
They also go on a number of
personal appearance tours dur-
ing the year.
The organization is composed of
both graduates and undergradu-
ates from every college in the Uni-
versity. This year's officers are
Carl Hedner, president; Merle Nel-
son, manager; Bernard Jennett,
secretary; John Bay, treasurer,
and Wesley True, accompanist.

Director of the club is Philip A.
Duey, who was once a member of
the "Revelers" quartet together
with James Melton, Lewis James
and Wilfred Glen.
Mr. Duey came to Michigan as a
professor of vocal music in 1947
after his career as a professional
singer.

sorority backing it with screams,
posters and appropriate cheering
paraphe'nalia. These women's
groups are drawn by lot and the
group backing the winning fra-
ternity usually throws a party for
them, or has one thrown for them
by the triumphant men.

Building.
Ralph Flanagan, his band and

intermission during which refresh-
ments will be served.
Tickets are now on sale for
the dance in the Administration

couple. This is the only event
during Greek Week for which
attenders are charged.
IFC Week started before the war
and then was postponed during
those and the postwar years.
In 1950 it was started again,
featuring speakers and several dis-
cussion groups as well as the din-
ner, sing and dance. Tommy Dor-
sey played at that year's ball which
was held from 9 p.m. until 12.

Dance Slated
At WestQuad
West Quadrangle is taking on a
new look as Quad men prepare for
the annual "SpringFantasy" for-
mal slated from 9 p.m. to midnight
Saturday in the Quad's two main
dining rooms.
Elaborate decorations that sug-
gest spring and romance will be on
hand to add atmosphere to the
masculine quarters.
Couples entering the Quad will
pass under a trellis of flowers
while the concourse will be arrayed
with more flowers and shrubs.
The concourse will also be the
setting of a wishing well, where
couples can wish thoughts of finals
away, and a miniature waterfall
that will provide more of the
spring fantasy.
The center of attraction for the
dining "ballroom" will be the tra-
ditional mirrored globe. Both din-
ing rooms will be extensively dec-
orated with shrubs, flowers and
soft colored lighting.
The Spring Fantasy was estab-
lished as an annual event shortly
before the last war. Chairman-
ships are filled by petition; selec-
tion being made by the West Quad
council. It has been a popular
Quadrangle dance since its begin-
ning ten years ago.
Programs and favors will be pre-
sented to coed guests at the door
while intermission entertainment

will round out the gala evening.

As a feature of the final co-
recreational night at the Intra-
mural Building, the members of
Michifish, WAA swimming club
will present a show in synchro-
nized swimming at 7:30 p.m. to-
morrow in the Intramural pool.
Called "Toys 'n Tune," the ex-
hibition will depict a toy shop
come to life.
Some of the featured numbers
include "Teddy Bears Picnic,"
"Waltzing Cat," "Syncopated
Clock," "Valentine Tango, " "I'm
Forever Blowing Bubbles," "Nur-
sery Rhymes Melody," and "Wagon
Wheels."
Ballet "legs," "kips" and "cata-
linas" will be exhibited for the
audience in these numbers.
To follow the theme, coeds will
be costumed in black leotards,
teddy bear costumes and cowboy
hats and guns, as well as the more
conventional bathing suits.
In planning the numbers for the
show, Michifish members first lis-
tened to records and designed rou-
tines that fitted the music. Then
each coed worked out the forma-
tions completely on dry land be-
fore venturing into the water.
The Michifish exhibition was al-
so a featured event at the Union
open house.
Members of the club were se-
