Show '61--U DAYSWhitewashing of the U began in 1907 when the concrete block U was placed on the hill overlooking the campus. Thereafter it became a tradition to whitewash it each spring. Each succeeding year new events were added until U-Days now occupies a full week.This year willing students donned their "grubbies" and together with the faculty whitened the U in the initial phase of the celebrations. Later in the evening, Songfest was held in the Stadium despite the threat of a storm. With alternating rain and wind, brave Utes found the light stereo concert relaxing and enjoyable. By 7:30 the audience was highly receptive to the novelty and serious song presented by the nineteen Greek groups. During intermission, spotlights on the track followed the U-Days Queen, Carolyn Murdock, and her attendants, Sue Griffin and Sandy Snow, in their chauffeured convertibles. Coveted Greek of the Year awards, presented annually by Sigma Pi were captured by Ross Anderson and Suzanne Forsberg. |
