By BARTON HUTHWAITE
King Neptune summoned ap-
proximately 90 University stu-
dents to appear before' him on
charges of being "vile land lubbers
and polywogs" this past summer.
Queen Neptune, accompanied by
her child and court, was on hand
to witness the proceedings. Hun-
dreds of Shellbacks lined t h e
crowded courtroom of the battle-
ship Wisconsin.
Poly.og Vance Johnson, '60
Eng., showed no outward signs of
concern before the trial. He noted
the 'date and time . . . 11:05 A.M.,
June 25, 1957. It was the day
"Whisky" would cross the Equator.
Polywog Faces King
"Polywog Johnson come and
face the King," a shellback boom-]
ed. "Are you a low, vile polywog?,"
asked the King. "No, I am not,"
answered Johnson defiantly. Im-
mediately, two husky sailors es-
corted Polywog Johnson to a pool
filled with garbage and grease and
heaved him in,
After many submersions and
subsequent questions of "Are you
a polywog?". Johnson was finally
proclaimed "Shellback" by King
Neptune. "Crossing the Equator
can be quite an experience," smiled
NROTC midshipman Johnson. "It
converted me from a Polywog to
a full-fledged Shellback."
Shellback Johnson was one of 90
University NROTC sophomore and
senior midshipmen participating in
the Navy's two mor' summer
cruise. Ports of call included Chile,
Cuba and the Panama Canal. The
students were given actual prac-
tice in gunnery and naval proce-
dures.
South Americans Friendly
"The people of South .America
are very friendly," commented
Frank Zimmerman, '60 Eng., "es-
pecially the Chileans." Many of-
fered to take us to dinner. Others
took us on tours around the city
of Valpraiso just for the oppor-
tunity of practicing their English.
Of course we said yes-especially
to the girls," he laughed.
The midshipmen were specifi-
cally told nbt to discuss politics or
religion while on shore leave. "The
Chileans had an intense interest
in the United States and hoped
someday to come for a visit. They
seemed to have the'impression that
all Amrerans are very wealthy,"
"added Zimmermian.'
"Due to the free-spending of
American tourists and sailors,
Chileans. considered themselves
very poor," Johnson explained.
Most people who can afford to
driv.e cars have 1940 models. A

new car down there would cost
around $10,000."
Chileans are proud of their
Naval Academy located in Val-
praiso. "One night a storm pre-
vented the shore leave boats from
returning to the fleet. Arrange-
ments were made with the Chilean
Naval Academy to have us sleep
in their quarters overnight," John-
son stated.
"Although it does not even ap-
proach Annapolis in size, the men
are respected throughout South
America and the world. Unfortu-
nately, it was during their vaca-
tion so we did not have an oppor-
tunity to speak with them;" he
said.
Rock. 'n roll seemed to facinate
the South Americans, "Any sailor
who could rock 'n roll made a hit.
They were eager to learn about the
new craze spreading over, the
States," Zimmerman smiled.
Shellb-cks Johnson and Zim-
merman produced a framed certi-
ficate proclaiming t h e m full-
fledged Shellbacks. "I'd like to go;
back down to South America'
again," Zimmerman grinned. Ex-
polywog Johnson agreed.

NEPTUNE CALLS--Former polywogs Vance .1
Zimmerman answered the summons of King Ne
to become bona-fide "shellbacks."

Iva KWitchell
To Perform
At Mendelsson
A rare combination of ballet
dancer and comedienne will be
presented to Ann Arbor audiences
on Tuesday, Oct. 15, when "Poison
Iva" Kitchell will present her-
world-famous one woman si 'w at
Lydia Mendelssohn Theater.
Miss Kitchell, who got her start
in dancing from the Chicago Opera
Ballet,- decided that some of the
serious modern dances were ridic-
ulous, and begai to mimick her
instructor.
Fortunately, the instructor was
not touchy about his art and gave
Miss Kitchell a comedy spot in the
ballet. From then on, she pro-,
ceeded to add comedy to all kinds
of dancing, from classical to mod-
ern.
Members of the audience, as
often material for Miss Kitchell's
sketches as are dancers, lovers,
hostesses, salesmen and "psycho-
chondriacs,"' rarely escape her
comic treatment.
On a recent tour of South Amer-
ica, one of Miss Kitchell's sketches,
"Carmen Kitchell from Kansas,"
proved' such a- success that on
sixteen occasions she was required
to repeat the takeoff on the sultry,
Carmen.
Spokesmen for the Ann Arbor
Civic Ballet, who are sponsoring
the event, characterize Miss Kit-
chell as not only a "brilliant
dancer, but also a deft caricaturist
and commentator" who says her
penetrating and witty observations'
in dance."
Tickets for the Ann Arbor per-
formance will go on sale at the
Lydia Mendelssohn Theater box
office on Thursday, Oct. 10, and
mail orders are now being ac-
cepted.

On the Stanford University cam-
pus in Stanford, California, festiv-
ities after the San Jose football
game were much less noisy be-
cause the night before the game a
man walking his dog discovered
fifty pounds of gun. powder in a'
field behind the school's mauso-
leum, and turned it. over to school
authorities, much to thei, disap-
pointment of the would-be celeb-
rants. Stanford, incidentally, has,
a football cheer which ends in a
monstrous BOOM!
