Committees for Soph Cabe
Working On Plans for Event
By ROZ SHLIMOVITZ
Will another King Tut's daugh-
ter, a dancing mummy or the
Great Egressium, a fantastic
mammal from the dark and un-
known corner of Africa, hits of
previous Michigras weekends,
show up this year?
Both "U" men and women will
be in a position to answer this
question as sub-chairmen or mem-
bers of a multitude of committees
whose work will be explained at
a mass meeting to be held at 7:30
p.m. Wednesday in the Union
Ballroom.
BECAUSE Michigras is one
event which is based on the unus-
ual or original idea, students have
a chance to display what this mo-
dern age can accomplish.
The mummy, in executing an
alluring "sheet" dance, was the
star among slaves and dancers
in a Roman Circus presented at
a time when Michigras was
known as the fair. The theme
centered around Christianity
vs. Paganism revival.
Besides the Great Egressium,
one fair was notable for its col-
lection of fantastic animals. A
"Michzapok," so named for its
yellow and blue stripes, a collec-
tion of weird snakes and wildmen
v
f ,
from Borneo transplanted rem-
nants of the African Jungle to
Barbour and Waterman Gyms,
Ann Arbor's favorite fair grounds.
., * -
AT A LATER Michigras, Mimes,
Union Opera Honorary, carried
out this idea by presenting a cir-
cus complete with bareback riders,
tightrope walkers, and a museum
of freaks.
"For Men Only" a booth con-
tributed by Sigma Phi Epsilon
fraternity attracted a lot of at-
tention one year. Women were
denied "the privilege of the
great mystery concealed with-
in." It was billed as "the thing
that will show the men what
the small things mean in life."
Alexander Ruthven displayed
the Michigras spirit by manning
the first of the now traditional
"apple polishing" booths.
One year a booth in which sor-
ority women could compete to see
which group, was "tops" was set
up. Pictures of women represent-
ing each sorority were the targets
of well-aimed darts. The picture
most often hit was deemed the
winner, thus indicating the top
sorority.
"HANG OUT your tongues and
hold out your hands-Michigras
will stand the T-Test today." This
is the announcement that greeted
readers of The Daily, April 20,
1948, in rebuttal to the many cig-
arette claims.
At precisely 12:571/ p.m. that
day 50 candy canes were
launched from the famed test-
ing perch, the Union Tower, by
Kieth Jordan co-chairman of
the weekend's gala activities.
Jordan said he hoped lollipops,
offered to sweet-toothed students
for their pre-carnival licks, would
put the sophisticates in the carni-
val mood. "If you get the rasp-
berry," he reasoned, "don't be hurt
-someone else is sure to get the
'lemon."
