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.

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.

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. * s * FACULTY ADVISOR of the or- ganization at present is Prof. Wal- ter G. Sadler.
