ISA To Sponsor All-Nation Picnic1 Saturdayat Arb In line with the program of in- ter-cultural activities, the Inter- national Student Association will sponsor a picnic from noon until 6 p.m. Saturday in the Arboretum. An "all-nation get-together on the grass-root level," the 'outing will feature outdoor games from many different countries. The var- ious nationality groups, members of the ISA, will explain the acti- vities typical of their respective lands. Students interested in attending the picnic may obtain tickets, at $1 per person, at the International Center. The price for the outing, which is open to everyone on cam- pus, includes transportation, as well as refreshments. The group will meet at noon Saturday at the Center and pro- ceed from there to the Arb. The committee in charge of ar- rangements urges campus partici- pation, stressing that this is an excellent opportunity for students to meet their classmates from other countries on an informal basis. Judging the eliminations will be Miss Thelma Tervis, Mr. Ben- ning Derter and Prof. Philip Dewey of the music school. The tradition which has devel- oped into IFC Sing had its begin- ning in 1935, when the IFC, ROTC band and Varsity Glee Club col- laborated in presenting an "all- campus sing" with no prizes awarded. THE FOLLOWING year, the practice of holding musical com- petition was started, with Theta Delta Chi winning the first tro- phy. The other pre-war years found Acacia, Beta Theta Pi, Alpha Sigma Phi, Theta Xi and Kappa S i g m a successively bringing home the proverbial "bacon." } A five-year moratorium was de-' clared during the war years, but the Sing re-emerged in 1946 with new vigor. SIGMA PHI EPSILON took the first post-war loving cup, with Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Alpha Epsi- lon and Lambda Chi Alpha war- bling to victory the next three years. In 1950, Sigma Phi Epsilon be- came the first house to win a second time and the tradition was again broken when Delta Tau Delta batted a thousand with judges for the past two years. In keeping with tradition, vari- ous sororities will sponsor singing groups at the Sing again this year and will hopefully cheer them on to victory. ' The Sing on May 8 is open to the public and there will be no admission charged. Banquet The Oberlin Alumni Club will hold its annual banquet at 6.30 p.m. Monday in the First Me- thodist Church. Reservations should be made by tomorrow with Mrs. Robert Crossley at 2-8732 or University extension 375. -Daily-Chuck Kelsey QUAD GUESTS--Among the frst guests in South Quadrangle on the new exchange plan are Audrey Rosin, Fred .Kapetansky, Mona Rosenman and Norman Zilber. Couples may eat together in the quads or dormitories without buying meal tickets under the plan. * * * * COFFEE CUP COOPERATION: Exchange Dinner System To Continue in Residences By JOY STANLEAj Life on a Men's Glee Club tour is not as easy as one might sup- pose. Hanging over each member's head is the possibility of being awarded a trophy given to "that member of the Glee Club that makes the most atrocious blund- er at each public appearance of the Club." So reads the inscription on the trophy, a cup made of two fun- nels with two large spoons as handles. The gift of the cup is the: plight of any man committing the biggest blunder. Recipients have ranged from the lowest member of the group to Philip Duey, director of the Glee Club. - + * AN INCIDENT during Mr. Duey's first year at the University warranted the title of "the most atrocious blunder." The Glee Club was journeying to Buffalo to pre- sent a concert. Since no programs had been printed, Mr. Duey was announc- ing the numbers. The Glee Club was singing a group of Michigan songs and Mr. Duey, turning to the audience, announced that they would sing the Michigan Alma Mater. Then he forgot the title. He just couldn't remember the title of the "Yellow and Blue." Finding a receiver for the tro- phy this year will prove a difficult problem because the tour went off without a flaw. The Glee Club was warmly received by packed aud- iences. ** * TRAVELING by railroad for the first time since the twenties the Glee Club sang in Pittsburgh, Phil- adelphia and Garden City, Long Island. However, the climax of the tour came the last Sunday when the Glee Club performed at Towne Hall and on the Ed Sulli- van Show. The Glee Club scored a triumph at Towne Hall. An invitation for a repeat performance next year was extended by the manager, who said that this was the finest glee club he had heard in Towne Hall. * * * THE MEN were especially proud when the help at Towne Hall, who have heard numerous celebrities, gave them an enthusiastic re- sponse. WAA Tennis Club Plans Competition At their first meeting' members of the WAA Tennis Club decided to have a tennis ladder. Under this arrangement any co- ed on the ladder may challenge anyone immediately or two places ahead of her. In order to advance, she must win at least one com- plete set. These matches may be played during the week or from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday, the club's reg- ular meeting date. Anyone wishing to join the lad- der can do so by attending the Tennis Club's next meeting Friday or by calling Tennis Manager Joan Hyman, 2-2545.- Impressed by the Glee Club, the Voice of America is going to broadcast the Towne Hall con- cert, Arriving at the Ed Sullivan TV show, the Glee Club and Mr. Duey found some old friends. Ray Block, director of the orchestra, and Marty Lewis, advertising manager for the program, were working oh I. ~.- it ar co . z s $,495 l the Phillip Morris program when Mr. Duey was soloist for the pro- gram. * * * THE ASSISTANT production manager of the Ed Sullivan Show is a former member of the Glee Club. The annual Men's Glee Club Spring Concert will be held May 16. ....a:. 3 .:. Jf// ..::iSr° /.. I The new individual exchange dinner system between quad- rangles and dormitories, which was started last Thursday and Sunday, will continue this week. One change will be instituted. The guests, instead of hosts, will be in charge of picking up the guest ticket upon arrival for din- ner. This is done by showing an identification card and a meal ticket at the desk. Each couple must arrange the exchange by Wednesday noon for the Thursday dinner and by Fri- day noon for the Sunday meal. This can be done through a co- ordinator in each residence hall, who is in charge of keeping an even exchange between quads and dorms. Both persons must sign a regis- tration book by these deadlines at the desks of their respective dor- mitories.I It is stressed that couples make their date well in advance in order to be among the first to sign. If: more coeds from a dorm sign up than men, the latest signers will not be issued meal tickets. If couples find they cannot go, they are asked to cross their names off the registration book before the deadline date or get a substi- tute. East Quadrangle and Martha Cook Building are not participat- ing in the plan. About 50 persons exchanged for the Thursday meal, estimated Tom Bleha, chairman of the new sys- tem. "The plan is working about as it was expected, but we want more people to participate," he said. Bleha and Norman Zilber work- ed with Leonard A. Schaadt, busi-I ness manager of the residence hallsI to make the arrangements. I I I a \...fr. ' ' w- LADIES & CHILDREN Hairstyling to please you. * 5 Stylists * Photos to Choose From * Appts.
