'Gras' Funds
Will Benefit,
Four Groups
By CAROL PRINS
Women's Athletic Association
and the Union, co-sponsors of Mi-
chigras, have designated the chari-
ties which will benefit from the
proceeds earned in the festival.
Jaylee Duke, president of the
W.A.A., pointed out that proceeds
earned by that organization will
be split in three ways. Fifteen
percent of the profits will go to
the W.A.A. which will use the
funds in the general area of stu-
dent recreation. The remainder
of the profit will be divided be-
tween the World University Ser-
vice and the Washtenaw County
Chapter for Mentally Retarded
Children.
The funds which are designated
for the W.U.S. will go specifically
ti the Patna Student Health Cen-
ter in Baihar, India. The center
services approximately ten thou-
sand Indian university students.
The remainder of the funds will
be used to aid mentally retarded
children of Washtenaw County.
The funds will be given to a school
which aids the children in experi-
encing group relationships.
This school has just recently
opened in the Salvation Army
Building in Ann Arbor. The Mi-
chigras funds will be administered
by a joint committee of student
members of the W.A.A. and mem-
bers of the Board of the Commit-
tee for Mentally Retarded Chil-
dren.
The profits which will go to the
Union will be divided with one-
third going to the school for men-
tally retarded children also. The
remaining two-thirds of the Union
profit will go to the University
Fresh Air Camp.
The camp rehabilitates boys
with serious emotional and social
problems and serves as a workshop
for graduate students in sociology,'
education and psychology.

of the Union, the judges will base
their decisions on originality,

By TED FRIEDMAN
Singe its establishment 54 years
ago, Michigras has. become the
University's most spectacular tra-
dition.
The carnivals have run from Ro-
man Circus themes to the most .
far-fehed science fiction, com-
plete with full-scale Inter-plane-
tary rockets.
The fests were launched in 1902
when the Women's Athletic As-
sociation sponsored a carnival in
Waterman Gymnasium to raise
funds. It met with such success
that in 1905 the carnival was re-
peated, and the first Michigras pa-
rade marched through a drizzling
rainstorm.
The 1 early festivals were called
"County Fairs" and were taken'
over by the Union for its Club-
house Fund. During the 1920's an
intensive campaign was carried on
to get the University's growing
number of women students to par-.
ticipate,
It was announced. that women
would be permitted to come with-
out dates.
In 1937, the "Penny Carnival"
of the WAA was merged with the
"County Fair" and the result was.
given the title, "Michigras."
The '39 Michigras was held by,
coincidence at the same time the'
World's Fair was. conducted', in
New York, and by. an even strang-
er coincidence had a similar
theme, "The World of Today and
Tomorrow."
The outraged University stu-
dents filed a suit in an Ann Ar-
bor court. against the New York
fair demanding that the World's
Fair shut down during the two
nights of Michigras becaus of
"unfair competition."
But this most - fabulous - of - all
carnivals was the last for a while,
for the war took its toll even for
Michigras.
But after the war, the celebra-
tions returned even stronger than
before.
The 52itieth AnniversaryMi-
chigras was said to rival the
Olympian feats of the Circus Maxi-
mus, with $2,600 in prizes and an
estimated 17,000 spectators for the
parade.
And the last Michigras in 1954
topped even this, with 20,000 spec-
tators and coverage by television.
Through their history, the car-
nivals have raised money for the
Union's and the new women's pool,
a men's dormitory and countless
other projects.

Grand Prizes-tyo new suits of.,
clothing and two new watches.
Sixteen rides and concessions
will also be set up for the stu-
dents, townspeople and spectatow
from throughout the state.
Saturday afternoon will brim -aa
special "biddy Carnival", between,
11I am. and 5$ p.m., presentedex-
elusively for the younger set.
Sponsors of the semi-annual
weekend, the Union and the Wom-
en's Athletic Association, have de-
ided to. contribute the proceeds
from Michigras to the University.
Fresh Air Camp, the Michigan As-
sociation for Retarded Children
and the World University Service.
General chairmen for the event
are Paula Strong, '56, and Barney
tfelzberg, '56.
How To Win
Grand Prizes
"Anyope can win a grand pria.
at Michigras," Don'Young, '58, co-
chairman of the prizes committee
optimistically commented.
It's easy. All you have to do is
to collect 20 Michibucks, turn them
in at the prizes, booth and your
name will be among those from
which the winning names will be
drawn at 11:00 p.m. Saturday, Ap-
ril 21.
There will be four separate
grand prizes awarded-two to
women' and two to men. The
prizes consst of a man's and a
woman's watch, a man's suit and
Sd woman's dress.
If * potential grand prize win-
ner becomes a bit anxious to turn
his Michibucks into a prize be-
fore he has amassed the required
20 Michibucks, he may do so and
still be eligible to have his name
in the drawing. By showing at
least 10 Michibucks at the prie
booth, his name will be' recorded
and his Michibuck's torn In' half.
enabling him to still redeem them
for prizes.
Upon turning in the balance of
the required 20' Michibucks, he
may. have his name In the draw-
ing.
If a person is especially adept a.t
the skill booths, he may have his
liaame in the drawing as many
times as he can collect 20 Michi-
bucks.
