IFC Sing To Provide
Greek Week Rivalry

'IN THE SPRING,. ..':
Parents Announce Engagements
BATCHELDER - STEINER
fMr. and Mrs. Howard R. Batch-
elder of Columbus, 0., announce

By SUE GARFIELD
Since its inaugural on May 9'
1935 when 3,500 people jamnibd the
steps of the General Library to
hear fraternity men vie for topj
vocal honors, the IFC Sing has
grown to become an annual event
on the University social calendar.
FOUR YEARS after its begin-
ning, the Sing attracted 33 frater-
nities to its preliminaries; 16 hous-
es emerged to compete in the fin-
als before 3,000 students, with the
first winner being Theta Delta Chi.
The Sing was postponed for
the duration of the last war, but
it was revived in 1946. It was not
until 1949, because of unpredict-
able spring weather, that the
event was held in Hill Auditor-
ium.
The following year Sigma Phi!
Epsilon became the first "double"
winner in the Sing's history. Delta
Tau Delta duplicated this feat by
achieving top honors in 1951-52.
"Battle Hymn of the Republic,"
sung by Beta Theta Pi, received the
first place trophy last year.
SINGING IN this year's IFC
Sing, which will be held at 7 p.m.
tomorrow in Hill Auditorium, are
the following fraternities, in alpha-
betical order, with their sponsor-
ing sororities.

By ELAINE EDMONDS
Vulcans, senior engineering hon-
orary, recently celebrated its 50th
anniversary.
Founded in 1904 for the purpose
of promoting friendship among en-
gineers, the organization was
strictly social at that time. Vul-
cans gradually evolved into the en-
gineering honorary which it is to-
day.
THE FIRST meetings were held
at a meat market in downtown
Ann Arbor.
In the early years of their
existence, Vulcans were the
proud possessors of a huge an-
vil. At that time all engineers
were required to take foundry
and all consequently owned a
sledge hammer.
Each Sunday noon after church
all the members would meet in the
Union Tower, throw up the win-
dows and bang on the anvil with
their sledge hammers. It is said
that the noise could be heard all
the way to the railroad station.

THE HONORARY takes its
name from Vulcan, the Roman god
of fire and metalworking, which is
the traditional symbol of engi-
neers.
Vulcans tap those men in the
College of Engineering who are,
or will be, seniors the next fall
and who have shown outstand-
ing leadership, service and acti-
vity, qualifications for member-
ship in the honorary.
The honorary which is princi-
pally a service organization has
undertaken various projects in re-
cent years.
* * *
ONE OF THE most outstanding
of these activities is the Vulcan
trains which are run at Christmas
and spring vacations. These trains
provide reduced travel rates for
students going to Chicago or New
York and points in between.

FACULTY ADVISOR of the or-
ganization at present is Prof. Wal-
ter G. Sadler.
Officers for the current semester
are Dick Manchee, president; Steve
Qua, vice-president; Bob Richard-
son, secretary and Ron West, trea-
surer.
