Throttlcbottom is f recognized by Queen 1 Eleanor Engdahl, who takes his pin for the big j campaign, “Of Thee i [ sing" rally, which has £ been postponed until * Tuesday. ! By MARJORIE YOUNG To dessert or not to dessert is a question that is to be left up to individual fraternities, the in terfraternity council ruled Thurs day, according to Bill Bradshaw, president of IFC. “The IFC decided to follow the same program in regard to des serts it has done before,” Brad shaw said, “and it is up to the discretion of the individual houses whether or not they wish to have them. Unless it is shown defi nitely that general campus opin ion is against desserts, or unless University officials rule to abol ish them, the houses will prob ably continue this practice.” There was no discrimination made in the ruling' between pref erence and exchange desserts, houses being left to their own choice in the matter. As to whether or not the girls would attend, Bradshaw said he understood the ruling passed by heads of houses prohibited only desserts held at women's living organizations, and that houses would be free to accept invi tations extended by men's houses.

And that isn't all-stu dent cooperation is wonderful; those football players, for in stance, take their parts very se riously, and are really good.” Clockwork Rehearsals and production pro ceed like clockwork as a result of careful charts, and a large blue notebook which contains an abso lutely complete record of stage arrangement, dialogue and stage •'business.” Dorothy displayed it proudly, explaining that "This is (Please turn to paejc three) terud, Weekend head, named Cor vine Nelson, journajism major, as chairman of the festival.
