Houses to Draw Places for
Campus Sing at 12:30 Today
“Judging from the song titles turned in today, the All
Campus Sing will offer an evening of exceptionally fine music,
ranging from the Negro spiritual to the semi-classical type
of song,” states D. Lu Simonsen, chairman of the Sing. With
out accompaniment, the music will be better suited to the
acoustics of McArthur court. This will also enable the iudees
to grade on a fairer basis.
The design for the stage back

Mardi Gras theme, but the accent
of the evening will be on the sing

judges, one from out of town.
