room patio opened for the occa-
sion.
TYPICAL Parisian atmosphere
will be found in the Ballroom,
where the walls and ceiling will be
covered with large murals of Paris
street scenes.
Candlelight and soft music
will reign in the League patio,
located just behind the main
desk, where couples will enjoy
refreshments at red and white
checked tables. This patio will
be opened "in an attempt to al-
leviate the crowded Intramural
Building atmosphere," according
to the Ball committee.
Programs will be of typical
Parisian motif. Tickets for the an-
nual dance are priced at $4 per
couple and are being distributed
through the fraternity houses.
"Paris" will be open only to affil-
iated men and their dates.
FRED DALE'S band, which hales
from Chicago, will feature 14 in-
strumentalists, including trom-
bonists Bud and David Baker,
trumpeter Alan Kiger and a quar-
tet starring Robert Winters.
Dale's orchestra was runner-
up in a recent collegiate band
contest. Judges for the event
were Ray Anthony, Stan Kenton
and Billy May. Dale is a junior
at the University of Indiana.
Last year's dance featured a
"Cruise Continental." Couples
danced to the music of Ralph
Flanagan and his orchestra in an
atmosphere resembling that of a
luxury liner out on the first night'
of a cruise. Since it was held in
the Intramural Building, the event
was open to the entire campus last
year.
General chairman of "Paris" is
Ken Rice. Jay Kaufman is handl-
ing programs; Tom Zilly is in
charge of tickets; heading the
decorations committee is Mike
Gale; building and grounds com-
mittee, John Boyles; music, Bob
Dombrowski; finance, Harry En-
son; refreshments, Bob Weinbaum
and publicity, Larry Harris.
The traditional IFC Ball will be
held as the climactic event of
Greek Week, sponsored by the
campus fraternities and sorori-
ties. 'The winner of the annual
"Mr. Formal" contest will be an-
nounced at the dance.

"Far above Cayuga's waters" the
alma mater of Cornell University
in Ithaca, New York, typifies the
general setting of a campus which
differs in many respects from the
University.
Cornell is rich in unique tradi-
tions. One of these is the nightly
playing of the Cornell "Evening
Song" by the chimes in the Li-
brary Tower.
The chimes, which are operated
by students, play selections each
day ranging from the latest popu-
lar tunes to Wagner's "Pilgrim's
Chorus."~
Because of the specifications of
a grant of money left to Cornell,
no professor is permitted to take
a dog out of a university build-
ing. He may remove him from the
classroom itself, but must ask a
student to take him any further.
