Signs! Students! A noise parade is scheduled to roll, com plete with all the trimmings and equipped to make noise enough to let the city of Eugene know that the University is behind the Stu-. dent Union. 'J'he parade, beginning at 6:15 p.m. April 24, will snowball from the upper campus, winding past the living organizations on the campus, through the downtown district of Eugene, and back to the Igloo for the kick-off assembly of the Student Union drive on the campus.

Each living organization is required to have as many students there as possible in the event their houses will be drawn.
