Club Internationale It isn ' t every night that you can take your best girl to a swank night club without blowing your whole week ' s paycheck on the cover charge. When this opportunity arises it is best to grab the chance, which is exactly what 500 Creighton students did when the Pep Club sponsored an unusual function in late October. For one evening they converted the Student Center into a candle-lighted night club and christened it the Club Internationale. The Trocadero had nothing on us. The floor show of 17 acts featured the song and dance of nine different countries. Mark Czechut and company performed a saber-flashing traditional Ukrainian dance. The intracacies of the Rhumba and the Cha-Cha, the clicking of Spanish castenets, the grace of the Hawaiian hula, and the soothing music of the organ kept club patrons entertained. The 502 Group of singers gave a premiere rendition of The Austin Miller Blues written by Bob Hynes, Ed Gatz, and Paul Furtak. Pep Club waitresses served popcorn and drinks . The drinks were poured from Seven-Up bottles cooled in ice-buckets. Along the more serious lines, emcee, Bob Runn had a very intelligent interview with a Chinese philosopher mit un Cherman accent , the Reverend Hoo Flung Fling Ho (Father Hasbrouck), thus ending the evening with the findings of Plato, Plutarch, and Peanuts. Everyone loves to dance, but this graceful couple have developed the intricacies of folk dancing to perfection. Mark Czechut and group show a bit of Ukrain with sword, boot and lively music. The Austin Miller Blues a la Club Internationale and the 502 ' s, Don McNaulley, Ed Gatz, Paul Furtak, Paul McKee, Jack Kostel. 21

Inter-Frat Ball A bit of the ancient world comes to life for one night during the year at Creighton when the Greek letter organizations crown their Helen of Troy at the Inter-Fraternity Ball. Each frat nominates one princess and from this royal court, Helen is chosen. Since not even the Queen herself knows of her honor until just previous to the crowning ceremony, excitement and suspense run high. Just before they walk up the long, carpeted aisle at Peony Park, the candidates can be seen in the lobby chatting excitedly, comparing formals and giving a nervous last-minute pat to hairdos. Anticipa- tion mounts as each princess is announced and when, at last, her majesty enters the ballroom the applause from the assembled court is loud and long. This year ' s Helen of Troy was Miss Jeanne Gurnett, a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences. No stranger to royalty, she was last year ' s College World Series Queen and has been a candi- date for many other honors on campus. Miss Gurnett rep- resented Alpha Phi Omega, the service fraternity. Sue Baber and Bill Davis are having their difficulties in putting the finishing touches on Dave Hoover ' s collar. The Helen of Troy candidates from the Greek letter organizations are: Kathy Stanosheck, Betty Weichman, Mary Ruppe, Jean Gurnett, Norma O ' Neill, Mary K. Yaggie, Jo Ann Molak, Ida Coleman, Sue Baber. A
