Yuletide Balls
To Be Slated
For Saturday
Wig and Robe.-
The legend of "Wig and Robe"
will again come to life at the Bar-
risters' all campus formal dance
from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Saturday in
the League Ballroom.
The dance is an all campus af-
fair and tickets may be purchased
for $2.75 from 9 a.m. to noon or 1
to 3 p.m. at Hutchins Hall or from
any Barrister. If bought at the
door, the charge will be $3.
Rex Smith and his band will
again be on tap to greet all danc-
ing couples.
It seems that back in the days
before the blue laws, a promising
law student, Tommy Tortfeasor,
met with a group of his fellows at
the Orient, the local tavern.
Meditating over his mug of beer,
Tommy decided that 49 years
without a break was enough.
Today, 49 years after this his-
toric meeting the modern counter-
part of these founding fathers
have come to be called the Bar-
risters Society. Wig and Robe is
a descendant of their first dance.
With this background in mind,
the Barristers are preparing to
continue the tradition Saturday
night In the League.
The Christmas theme will be
brought out by Christmas trees in
the raw centered around a deco-
rated one, while the figure of a
Chancellor, the traditional sym-
bol of the Barristers Society which
has been passed down from one
class to another, will reign over
the whole affair.
Santa's Fantasy ...
Santa and all his reindeer will
be on hand at the Union's tradi-
tional Christmas formal, "Santa's
Fantasy," from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.
Saturday in the Union Ballroom.
Sponsored by the Union Execu-
tive Council, the all-campus for-
mal will present a holiday atmos-
phere for dancing couples.
In keeping with Christmas tra-
ditions, the. Union ballroom will
be decorated to capture the holi-
day spirit, fully equipped with ev-
ergreen trees and a Santa Claus.
Adding to the Yuletide spirit
of the dance, Christmas carols
will carry the Christmas spirit to
the door to greet couples as they
arrive.
Couples attending the dance
will don formal attire but men
may wear dark suits for the occa-
sion.
Intermission entertainment will
be taken over by the Novelaires.
The group will feature several
popular songs including "Melan-
choly Baby."
The Novelaires recently ap-
peared on Varsity Night and won
first place with their musical an-
tics in last year's Gulantics con-
test.
Clare Shepard and his orches-
tra will render the holiday music
for the evening.
Egg nog refreshments will be
served in the Terrace Room
throughout the evening in .an at-
mosphere of an outdoor cafe.
Tickets for the formal are $1.50

sion has been granted for the for-

Following her recent concert,
Bidu Sayao, noted opera singer,
was feted at a "despedida" (fare-
well party) by the Brazilian Uni-

tional flower of Brazil.

dance will be given this year at

those recently graduated from col-
lege to become acquainted.

the surrounding area are invited
to this dance which will be held

however, is the competition be-
tween dormitories, league houses
and co-operative houses for the
top skit awards. '

a short skit which they have
written. These will be judged

graved and keep for a year.

to originality, effectiveness of
presentation, clarity, and audi-
ence response.
One of the outstanding attrac-
tions that is presented annually
is the skit presented by resident
directors. This skit gives the
judges time to make their de-
cisions, and is the most pop-
ular one on the program, accord-
ing to many coeds.

over a period of two weeks. Three
separate ceremonies occurred dur-
ing the 14 days and included rec-
ognition night, installation of
house presidents, and the skits.

the program all students are
invited to attend a party at
Lane Hall.

ments of traditional Wassail and
Christmas cookies will be offered

related fields.
