Varsity Flower Shop I "Yo' goin' to Michigras." "Yo"' may or may not be go- ing to Michigra§, but if .you're not, it won't be the fault of Sue Rutledge and Art Gaudi and their Michigras publicity committee. Their schedule of publicity events almost covers one wall of the Michigras office, and it in- cludes stunts, balloons, press re- leases, sidewalk signs and even a "Michiclef." Of most recent memory were last night's stunts in two local movie houses. In one a chorus line of can-can girls advised pat- rons to go to the "Gras." Dying In another a woman in black was chased across the stage by the bearer of a long dagger. The scene was followed by a prolonged shriek offstage, after which publicity com- mittee members carried a sign across the stage reading "She was dying to go to Michigras." A long groan followed. Michigras fever has gone be- yond the campus community. Milk delivery trucks will be carrying appropriate (for Michigras, that is) signs. Florists, jewelry stores and shoe repair shops will also carry displays. The theme in the latter case is: "Don't go barefoot to Michigras." It's Michigras weekend at a lo- cal pub, with blue (yet) beer to lend a "carnival atmosphere." And a local ice cream parlor is featuring this week a "Michi- gras sundae"-bananas, chocolate 32 cents. Waiting Stunts on the diagonal have at- tracted much attention. Last week a group of "Okies" and "Arabs" pitched their tent near the center of campus life and explained their presence with a sign "We're wait- ing for Michigras." Reports have not been revealed whether or not they're still wait- ing. The Michigras straw hat sale was also one of the projects of the publicity committee. Almost 600 hats were sold in six hours, and the black market has report- edly bid up the original price of one dollar. Meanwhile the cam- pus scene has been brightened or disrupted, depending on one's point of view, by gay blades in their new "straws." Marching News releasesballoons and handbills have been sent to Mi- chigan high and elementary schools; marching bands and sing- ers have toured housing units ex- tolling Michigras, and signs have been placed on dinneretables and in remarkably prominent spots in washrooms. Bags containing dry cleaning, meal tickets in residence halls, and the public address system at Wil- low Run Airport are all being uti- lized by the committee to spread the gospel. But the walking, talking, living, breathing symbol of the 1956 Mi- chigras will be the Michiclef. This strange creature will end the aca- demic spirit of next week when on Thursday and Friday he goes from classroom to classroom dismissing students while professors stand by hopelessly. After all, there's nothing they can do to anything as well-estab- lished and well-loved as Michigras and the traditions that comprise it. Believe In Michiclef? A Dialogue By JIM ELSMAN "So you don't believe in Michi- clef, eh?" "Nope, I don't fall for any o' that Mickey Mouse-Santa, the Easter bunny, none o' them." "We're gonna book ya Joe. We've got no choice. You're an atheiclef plain and simple. Lock him up Ser- gant-Joe College, for not believ- ing in Michiclef." "Hold on flatfoot. Who's, whats Michiclef?" "It's a symbol pal-a symbol of fun-fun with a purpose." "Whoa, whoa, co! I'm college educated. I don't believe n any- thing I can't feel an' see. L et's be, rational cop. Life is logic man - material, not abstract." "Michiclef isn't material Joe. Those who believe in him, experi- ence him not by logic, but by heart. He symbolizes Michigras weekend, you know. He symbolizes the theme of the carnival-"Tempos Through Time." He's music; he's fun; he's camaraderie; he's philanthropy. He'll be wafting from every corner of Yost Fieldhouse, above the mid- way, and into many hearts" "Really, cop! You bring tearsto, my eyes. They have names for cases like yours, you know. And I suppose he's 'shapedlike a musical clef, got on striped trousers, a T- shirt, straw hat, and an :orange polka dotted pink bow tie." "Exactly, Joe, you do have some conception."' "Don't jump to conclusions, dad. fell me though, I want to know arhy your little cosmic cuss is going to do all his happy-making at the Michigras? I want to know why." "He does it for fun's sake-just to make you feel all good inside. And you should be happy, because the profits you leave the Michigras will be delivered by Michiclef for someone else's happiness. Kids from busted-up an' tacky homes will get some sunshine at the Fresh Air Camp because of him. Crippled kids will be helped by Michibucks through the Michigan Association for Retarded Children. He'll send "M'-bucks around the globe through World University Service, and the Women's Swimming pool will get a share also. Think of it." "If you're leveling, this Michi- clef bit is OK, but what a fabulous story, fabulous, real fabulous." "Joe, I think I booked you wrong. You're not an atheiclef, just an agnosticlef. I'm going to let you go to Michiras, because of your ignorance of the law, but whether, or not you have fun or not will depend on your obeying the law- the' law that true joy, and fun come through the heart in such varied forms as Easter bunnies atd Michiclefs. Poster Group Still At Work Pink and orange are the colors, Michiclef is the symbol, harleuin diamonds are the pattern, and many are the posters. Barbara McNaught, and her poster committee have 'covered the campus with posters they've designed and art work done for other committees. Window dis- plays in stores, mobiles in Uni- versity buildings and stores, "ste- on" signs on: the backs of steps ^to housing units, and banners ga-- lore are all products of her com- mittee.

Warren Radio Sales By DONNA HANSON Michigras would mean naught without the pride of having won a prize at one of the many skill booths. The prize committee, co-chair- manned by Carol Sparkie, '57, and Don Young, '58, has amassed a wide and varied assortment of prizes ranging from stuffed ani- mals to household appliances. Most of the prizes were donated by Ann Arbor merchants with a few novel- ties bought from Detroit firms. The process of winning one of these prizes is very simple. All one has to do is to excel at one of the "skill" booths and he or she will be presented with a "Michibuck" Aain St.) )okstore certificate instead of individual prizes. The awards may be redeemed by. presenting these Michibucks at the prize booth in the center pf the field house. Anhadded attraction to the prizes' booth will be grab bags which will contain certificates for such items as hair cuts, movies and full meals. If students are interested In "higher stakes," there will be four grand prizes, consisting of a man's and a woman's watch, a woman's dress and a man's suit. The winners of the grand prizes Iwill be. selected on the basis of a drawing while the accumulation of 20 Michibucks allows a person to submit his name for the draw- ing. The Ann Arbor Merchants As- sociation has donated money to- ward the 31 trophies which will be awarded to the winning Michigras booths and floats. I Have you seen our &r I.
