Past Baker Hall comes the parade of open conver tibles announcing the beginning of Greek Week . . Greek Week Alpha Xi Delta chorus line swings into a precision perfect dress rehearsal of their Greek Week skit . . . Interfraternity hustling — competition and co-operation A harried week for every sorority and fraternity social chairman, Greek Week this year was also a huge success. Art Kaplansky of Sigma Alpha Mu and Sara Kreglow of Chi Omega collaborated as co-chairman of the seven day merry-go-round of Greek activity. Exchange dinners — two of them for every sorority and fraternity — were the main weeknight activit} ' and Tuesday night the gals prac- tised their favorite sorority songs to serenade the men. Wednesday night, fraternities played host to visiting so- rority women at individual open houses. Thursday the men foorsook their studies to attend the inter-fraternity stag party held at the Macedonian Club (Macedonian, Greek — all in the spirit of Greek Week, we presume). Saturday afternoon of Greek Week-end was devoted to an extended March of Dimes drive for which sororities and fraternities teamed up to collect well over three thousand dollars. DGs and Sammies proved most success- ful with their collection campaign — an improvised street- corner show at the corner of Broad and High Streets in downtown Columbus. Best of all was the annual Greek Week Stunt Night competition won hands down by ingenious AEPi ' s who presented a take-off on WSGA proceedings with original words and music. Phi Kappa Sigs placed second by pok- ing fun at Social Board, and Alpha Delta Pi took the third place trophy. Prize winners were announced at the Greek Week Dance Saturday night to the accompaniment of Elliot Lawrence and his band. Alpha Epsilon Pi ' s go into the grand finale of their prize-winning Greek Week the workings of the WSGA office. The song the moment the picture was snapped — skit — a clever take-off To Hell With WSGA . » 1f

CARL SANDBURG is known as America ' s most truly native poet and greatest authority on Abraham Lin- coln; JOHN MASON BROWN, America ' s Minister of Cultural Affairs is Associate Editor of the Saturday Review of Literature — they visited campus together. Visitors National celebrities and famous alums found a w arm Tv elcome at Ohio State . . . Almost every week we welcomed another famous personality to the campus. Favorite recording artists were contracted for each of the big campus dances, the Day of Champions brought back our famous Ail- American athletes, and the University Lecture Series invited the country ' s greatest men of letters to pre- sent their favorite works to enthusiastic audiences Stan the man and his band graced the Union bandstand last Spring Quarter and hypnotized a happy crowd with his particular brand of Kenton artistry. The dance floor was almost too crowded for dancing and Kenton complied with an im- promptu concert to the delight of the standees crowding the bandstand. The football season brought back many a famous alum who hadn ' t forgotten the tliriil of an after- noon spent in the packed stadium. Chic Harley and Vic Janowicz, All-Americans from different eras, were here to relive their gridiron memories. Jesse Owens, most famous of Ohio State ' s Olympic champions, thrilled a Day of Champions crowd with an address on behalf of all the champions honored that day. Sigma Chis welcomed alum Milt Caniff of Steve Canyon fame when he appeared at the 15th Ave. house for the Homecoming Banquet. Elliot Lawrence was the Union ' s guest artist for Fall Quarter and his music was so popular he agreed to another appearance on the bandstand the next quarter. CHARLES LAUGHTON peers at the Makio photographer over the stack of books from which he read favorite selections of prose and poetry during his one-man show Spring Quarter.
