MapOutSing
Planning and rule making for
the all-campus sing were under
way yesterday afternoon when
Dr. Theodore Kratt, dean of the
njusic school, met with song lead
ers to formulate a schedule of
proceedings.
Dean Kratt suggested a grand
finale number, with all groups
uniting to sing one song spontan
eously, without a large amount
of formal rehearsal. This idea
met with the approval of the
group, and several numbers were
suggested.
Decisions
It was also decided by vote
that the singers should wear in
formal dress, that piano accom
paniment might be used, and that
men’s and women's groups should

Campus Survey Yields
Silly’ Opinions of Fifth’
By BETTY ANN STEVENS
and BARBARA YOUNGER
Do you know what a “fifth”
is ? Doesn’t anyone know what a
“fifth” is?
Ever since the law students baf
fled passersby with an addition
to the Junior Weekeend signs
employin gthe mysterious word,
bewildered persons have contin
ually raised puzzled eyebrows and
finally shrugged the whole thing
off.
Definitions
A survey of the campus yield
ed the following definitions: From
a freshman woman, “It’s an ex
tra person at bridge.” Another
added: “A fifth is one part which,
when added to four parts makes
five.” A sophomore asked, “Is it
alternate in presenting their
numbers.
Judges for the sing, to be held
April 25, have not yet been def
initely decided upon, .Dean Kratt
said, but Chester Duncan of Port
land is one possibility.
Notice of a meeting on April
25 of all the groups at the music
school was given.
a drink?” A junior remarked,
‘‘About the only ‘fifth’ I know is
a ‘fifth’ of Scotch.” Said a senior
woman, “I could give you a def
inition of a music fifth.” After a
brief confab at the Theta house,
a junior woman brightly said,
“We think it’s a bore.” A Phi Delt
senior declared, “I would say it
has something to do with liquor,
wouldn’t you ?” A senior at Hen
dricks stated emphatically, “It’s
a goodly portion of liquor.” An
other thought that it was a mu
sical instrument.
According to Webster, a “fifth”
is either: “the interval embrac
ing five diatonic degrees, the tone
at this interval, the harmonic
combination of two tones a fifth
apart, the fifth tone of a scale
reckoning up from the tonic—
etc.
To try to clear up some of the
general confusion, vague rumors
from the law school indicate that
a “fifth” is really a “legal term
meaning a self-motivating chat
tel such as a car.” There is still
some debate as to the accuracy of
the statement, however, so sug
gestions have been made that you
consult an “embryonic lawyer.”
