THE INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL played host to 3,000 Ann
Arbor youngsters Saturday at its biggest and noisiest party of
the year.
The annual Christmas party got off to its hectic start at 1 p.m.
when the children descended in droves upon 39 houses for one and
a half hours of fraternity-supplied diversion.
No sooner had their parents de-
parted than the exhuberant juve-
niles began to explore the houses
-occasionally tossing snowballs in
the guest rooms or ganging up on
such football notables as Don Dug-
ger, '53BAd. However, in most
cases the planned activities of
harried fraternity men and their
sorority girl friends turned the
afternoon into one of organized
games, singing and ice cream and
cake.
At 2:30 p.m. the children,
who ranged from kindergarten-
ers to sixth graders, were escort-
ed to Hill Auditorium for the
IFC festivities.
Amidst the popping of balloons
and the crunching of candy, Dick
Smith, '53BAd, went through his
baton-twirling routine complete
with a few lessons and his famous
high-stepping march. "I'M .FULL"
Others on the program included
magician sChuck Reynolds, '54,
who managed to present a veryA D L
surprised eight-year old with a A DAILY
live rabbit, the Novelaires, emcee -O -
Sherburne Brown, '54, and, of
course, Santa Claus. FEATURE

"I would like to be around 20
years from now to drive your 1973
model-and drive it on the greatly
improved highways you will have
by that time."
BOYD, WHO illustrated his talk
with slides depicting several facets
of GM plant activities, said that
it was difficult to predict just what
automotive improvements will be
made in the future.
However, he said he could en-
visage still better and lighter en-
gines, lighter cars and built with
inexpensive steel that would not
rust.
Boyd collaborated with Charles

THE USUAL headaches of a
school teacher are sometimes mag-
nified in the hospital because of
the nature of the students.
Biggest problem, according to
school director Mildred H. Wal-

Frisinger, Koken

his intention to seek the City
Council presidency on the Demo-
cratic ticket.

the Feb. 16 ballot. He will oppose
Republican incumbent Ald. Clare

Fair Society
Dispute
Comes to Halt
The dispute over voting privi-
leges of life members of the Wash-
tenaw County Fair Society appears
to have reached a temporary stale-
mate.
In a second hearing on the dis-
pute attorneys for the two con-
tending groups reached no solu-
tion other than to agree to sub-
mit a "stipulated set of facts" so
that Circuit Judge James R.
Breakey, Jr., may rule on the ques-
tion.
ACCORDING TO Arthur Carpen-
ter, attorney for the life members,
a ruling based on the state statute
governing voting privileges in such
organizations and precedent es-
tablished by similar cases is -hop-
ed for by tomorrow.
This would enable the society
to go ahead with its annual
meeting which had been post-
poned to Dec. 23.
Chief item on the agenda of this
year's meeting which had been
originally scheduled for Nov. 12,
is the sale of the society's fair-
grounds tract on the western edge
of the city.
The dispute over voting 'privi-
leges of the so-called life mem-
bers arose when it became known
that a group of them opposed sell-
ing the property to the city as
proposed by the organization's of-
ficers.
