Orchesis Dance Concert To Include Original Steps The annual dance concert of Orchesis, modern dance honor ary, will be presented May 11, at 7 :30 p.m. in the dance room of Gerlinger hall. Entitled “The Dance,” the concert will feature dances composed by the group under the direction of Miss Rosamond Wentworth, head of the dance department and as sistant professor in physical education.

Dunking Awaits Transgressors With Junior Weekend in view, taboos and tradition loom forth and threaten to keep the watchful eyes of the Order of the "O” members checking violators. Coeds who don’t want a dunking in the duck pond should stick to the paths while on either the old or new campus, for grass-walking is strictly on the black list. If you're really bold, you might try smoking on the old campus, walking on the seal, or sitting on the senior bfench—but if the watch ful eye of an “O” man catches you, punishment will be your only re ward. That friendly spirit will appear on ‘‘Hello Walk” which runs be tween Fenton and Villard halls. You’re courting a dunk if you fail to say “hello” to everyone you meet. Two other traditions which pre vail during the week will be the required wearing of green hair ribbons by freshmen girls and the correct class pants or slacks on the men.
