Chairmanships are needed for promotion, publicity, finance, and house co-ordination. A general secretary is also needed. The Derby is a dance which is held at the girls’ dormitories and sororities from 7 to 10 p.m. The men’s houses travel from house to house, each man paying a nickel a dance at each place. Plans are being made this year to have a radio station play records for the entire dance, so that all women’s living organiza tions would play the same mu sic. It is also hoped to have a sound car broadcast this music ever the entire campus to keep up the spirit while the men’s liv ing organizations move from house to house. Petitions are on the third floor of the Student Union. Freshmen are encouraged to petition for the positions. The deadline for turning in petitions is 5 p.m. to day. according to Joan Kraus and Joan Rainville, co-chairman.
