Show Whitewashers tread up the mountainside to prepare the U for the week's on-coming celebration. The long, busy week got off to a slow bang with a good assembly, the main feature of which was the presentation of the queen, active senior Connie Jo Matthews, and her attendants Julie Goates and Carol Jacobson. Maybe it was due to the University's not excusing students from class, but the assembly left something to be desired in attendance. The more spirited Utes started up the hill to whitewash the U, and as usual, later that evening, some of the local pranksters dotted the pure surface with crimson. Thankfully, a fresh coat was applied to cover the red and sparkle the white for the remainder of the celebration. Phi Delta Theta's waterfights got everyone in the spirit of the times with but a few minor accidents which may have dampened the spirits of less soaked individuals. Songfest found new rules awaiting participants this year. As a showing, the Greeks were allowed only one song and one week to rehearse it in. When the big night finally came, the groups sounded forth, some imitating the glory of the Tabernacle Choir, others not quite able to imitate anything in particular. The whole thing was probably better accepted by everyone this year than it ever had been before. The Lambda Chi Alpha Pushcarts were anticipated as an annual U-Days affair. The fruits of varied imaginations paraded before the races in hopes of a trophy and recognition. This was reality that night at the open air dance at Lagoon where the queen, the winners, and the dancers were serenaded by Charlie Spivac and the Four Coins. |
