Each fraternity and sorority had been invited to perform a line, a dance and chant routine expressing the love and friendship of their brotherhood or sisterhood, and what one must do to live happily in this world. The first of the two-night celebration was set aside for visiting fraternities and sororities from other schools such as Indiana State, Indiana University, University of Detroit and University of Kentucky. Saturday night, the Ball State Black fraternities and sororities entertained. After the dance ended atl a.m. in the Ballroom, the night still had two to three hours of entertainment yet.

Circles were formed, lines were started and some lan- cy lootstomping was displayed during the night. Everyone respectfully rose for the Ball State school song. However, attention was easily averted as no one knows the words. What to do ?-clap as loud as you can to drown the sing- Ing.
