Chairmen Need
Derby Workers
Chairmen and committee mem
bers are needed for the Bunion
Derby, which is planned for Oct.
8. 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.
