T TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19,190 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE FNS TiJESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1955 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE PlY! Showboat Motif To Be Featured 7At. Annual Homecoming Dance IFC Announces Names of 545 New Fraternity Pledges Highlighting the 58th presenta- tion. of Homecoming festivities at the University, the annual Home- coming dance, featuring a "show- boat" theme, will be held from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Saturday in the IM Building with the music of Billy May and his orchestra. Old records indicate that Home- coming began as far back as 1897, when the alumni came back to campus to play the varsity foot- ball team. Beyond these facts, the why and wherefore of the event is a mystery. Alumni Association officials have expressed the belief that IFC had something to do with* its begin-I ning. As an old issue of The Daily concurred, the IFC formally es- tablished the weekend in 1933. Affiliates Returned The IFC office believes that Homecoming may have grown out of Founders Day, when old grad affiliates came back to campus en masse to honor the founders of their fraternities. Files of the Michigan Historical Collection also failed to yield any further information. One explanation remains. Old newspapers reveal the fact that University alumni flocked back to campus for the Union anniversary dinners which were held each fall. This, and the freshman-sopho- more football games and rallies, could have gradually combined and come to be the Homecoming observance as it is today. Dance Originated The dance itself originated dur- ing the forties. Previous t6 this ADC T oGive New Trophy, Assembly Association has an- nounced that a trophy is to be presented to the independent women's house having the best Homecoming display. Judging will be done on the basis of originality and workmanship. The Judges will include Elsie Fuller, assistant dean of women, James Lewis, vice-president in charge of student affairs, Tom Bleha, president of Inter-House Council, Jeanette Grimm, presi- dent of Assembly Association and one! girl to be chosen from the off-campus housing group. This is the first time a separate Homecoming trophy has ever been presented to the independent women. In previous years there was only one trophy for both men and women, which was presented to the winning independent house. ADC had felt that the competi- tion between men's and women's residence halls worked generally to the disadvantage of the women.. (Continued from Page 2) 0. Mason, '57; James E.

Records show that trophies were awarded for Homecoming displays for the first time in 1932. These trophies were silver cups donated by local merchants. Women Enter Women had no part in the con- test until 1937, when IFC chal- lenged sororities to compete with them. This was again abandoned during the second world war. During the years, many themes and bands have been featured. In 1953, the band of Claude Thorn- hill played for the "Black Cat Ball," while in 1954 the Wolver- ines played host to Minnesota and accordingly used the theme of "Little Brown Jug," dancing to the music of Alumnus Bill Gail and his band. This year committee members are presenting Billy May, record- ing star for Capitol records. He is noted for the "slurping saxes" of his orchestra, and his "fresh ap- proach" to music. A feature of this year's Homecoming dance will be the fact that the band will play atop a huge showboat. There will be a special intermis- sion show which will feature a quartet headed by John Kline. The weekend will include dis- plays at fraterpity, sorority, inde- pendent and league houses. Judges will award prizes which will be! announced at the football game and awarded at the dance. Favors will be given at the dance which will be kept a secret until the night of the dance. Iowans Expected General chairmen George Hen- rich and Gwynne Finkleman ex- press hopes that all University students will come to the Home- coming dance and represent their team adequately. A full turnout from Iowa fans attending the game on Saturday is expected. Other chairmen include Ron Shorr, in charge of publicity, Joanne Marsh who will take care of program and patrons, Jim Blum who arranged for the band, and Bobbi Rubin and Dick Spindle, display chairmen. Steve Shlanta is the building and grounds chairman, while Jim Myers is in charge of tickets. Decorations for the IM Building will be handled by co-chairmen Sue Rutledge and Mike Eisman. Ruth Plaut is general secretary: Tickets are scheduled to go on sale Wednesday at the Adminis- tration Building, and will be sold up until the dance and at the door. i z Weate- ordo -* 9 z 9 I ,1cPo'44 Cap 4 Junior I FC Plans Shakespeare.

Before the game a student ap- proached Yost and informed him that the Buffalo coach had wagered twenty dollars that Michigan wouldn't score. "What have I to do with that?" Yost inquired. The boy replied, "It's my twenty the coach will win if we don't score." Michigan won the game, 128-0. KYER FACTS SPORTS FACTS rv .y 'u.1::'k:.tu:.;.
