Maize, Blue Teams:
Prepare for Weekend
1~~ ~~~~ _________________________________________________

WAA Plans Lantern Night Sing


G I

Freshman womcen will take overv
the League Ballroom on Friday
and Saturday, April 27 and 28,
when they present their annual
Frosh Weekend.
During Orientation Week each
freshman coed draws for either the
Maize or Blue Team: Each team
presents a dance and provides
original entertainment in the form
of a floorshow.
This year the Blue Team will
give their dance and floorshow on
Friday, and the Maize Team will
present their production on Sat-
urday.. The dances are all-campus
coed-bid events.
To Vie for Plaque
The teams are judged on the
basis of publicity, floorshow, pro-
grams, 'ticket design, amount of
dues collected, the number of tick-
ets sold and the total budget, by a
committee of judges elected by a
joint Maize and Blue committee.
The winning team is awarded a
plaque. Each team has won three
times and in 1955 both teamh tied.
Profits from this year's Frosh

Weekend will be divided between
the Student Activities Building
Equipment Fund and the World
University Service.
Three-fold Purpose.
Begun as a freshman coed pro-
ject in 1948, Frosh Weekend has
a three-fold purpose. One goal is
to unite the women of the fresh-

manclass
which is
friendship

in a mutual project,
intended to promote
and cooperation. among

97'

Initiates

its members.
Secondly, the project is designed
to teach students early in their
college life the fundamentals of
committee work. The third aim is
to acquaint freshmen with the
League and its function.
Central Committee
At the beginning of the second
semester, members of the previous.
year's Frosh Weekend central com-
mittee meet to conduct petitioning
for the new central committee.
When the new central committee
is chosen, they begin planning and
making arrangements, most of
which are kept secret until the
nights of the performances.
The work of each team includes
the selecting of a floorshow cast,
the writing of original -entertain-
ment and the planning of a pub-
licity campaign.
Frosh Weekend had its origin in
the Freshman Spread, a project
popular in the 1920's. The first
actual record of a freshman pro-
duction was a program entitled
"The History of Music" given in
1924.
This pageant consisted of a'series
of dances performed by freshman
coeds at the traditional, Lantern
Night. This outdoor program pre-
sented just before sundown, con-
tinued for nine year until 1933.

Song leaders of all sororities,
dormitories and other houses plan-
ning to participate in Lantern
Night will meet today at 5:10 p.m.
in the Women's Athletic Buildirg.
In this annual event sponsored
by the Women's Athletic Associa-
tion, choral groups from various
women's residences on campus will
vie for first place in the Lantern
Night Sing program.
Preceding this program, an elim-
ination session is held, from which
ten houses are usually selected to
compete in Lantern Night.
Eliminations To Be Held
This year the eliminations will
be held Wednesday, May 9, with
the final event scheduled for Tues-
day, May 15. Both contests will
take place in Hill Auditorium.
During the eliminations, the only
persons allowed to attend are
the judges and others directly con-
nected with the planning of Lan-
tern. Night.
'The winning house in the song-
fest will receive a silver loving
cup, with its name engraved on it.
Second and third place winners
will also be chosen.
A posture cup is also awarded
to the group having the best pos-
ture while singing. Second and
third places are also announced
for this.
Houses to Sponsor Groups
Housing groups which take part
in the eliminations, but are not
selected to appear in Lantern
Night, are assigned to sponsor a
group which will sing in Lantern
Night,
In past years, sponsoring houses
have' provided competing houses
with moral support by singing and
cheering.

Before the Lantern Night pro-
gram, all women on campus tra-
ditionally march with the Michi-
gan Marching Band down State
Street from the Union to Hill
Auditorium in the Lantern Night
Parade.
Parade Honors Women
The parade is designed to es-
pecially honor the graduating sen-
ior women, and is one of the last
functions in which they will par-
ticipate as a class.
Members of each house will line
up together as a group, with house
representatives leading their own
unit and carrying banners to iden-
tify their respective residences.

In front of Hill Auditorium, the
coeds will form a large block-"M,"
while the band plays "The Victors"
and "Varsity."
Then, with everyone standing at
attention, the University alma
mater, "The Yellow and Blue,"
will be sung.
President Announces Winners
The retiring WAA president,
Jaylee Duke, will take the stage
along with the newly-chosen presi-
dent, Charlotte Haller, to an-
nounce the winners of the Lantern
Night awards after the contest.
In previous ,years, recordings of
the participants in the contest
have been available for those wish-
ing to purchase them.
