men ' s union.. The Men ' s Union Planning Board, (MUPB), functions as the executive body of Men ' s Union. It provides a social program that will appeal to the mas- culine interests, as well as to the campus, sponsors all-campus traditions, and is the men ' s administrative body for campus student government. MUPB sponsored, during the school year, the Registration Hop, and sev- eral pep rallies. Probably its biggest undertaking was the revival of the three OU traditions long sponsored by Men ' s Union: Homecoming Day, with its color and e xcitement, float parade, house decorations, and the half-time fes- tivities which brought bock the good old days to returned veterans and alumni; Migration Day, which found many students hopping the Bobcat Special to Ohio Wesleyan; and Dad ' s Day, when the football season was nearly at a close and Men ' s Union planned a weekend devoted to the fellow who pays most of the bills. Men ' s Union chess, bridge, and billiard tournaments were organized in the spring semester. The Rodeo, for men only social feature, was revised too, in the spring. A new idea was introduced in the form of an all-campus men ' s show, while, for the first time in its history, MUPB held a Men ' s Leaders ' Banquet.
