SUCIA COMMITTEE The new structure offthc social committee, Cpar inspiration - Jack Hawkej, led by social chairmen Ward Landrigan and Judy Ahlstrom and consisting of social chair- men from all classes: Penny Bluhm, Di- anne Niurphy, Al Huberman, and Tom Andrew - in class order, treated the ac- tivities of the social life as an advisory board. The committee also appointed Bob Woolley as publicity chairman and Diane Morris, secretary. The new system's function was as a link between campus organizations and their social activities, arranging informal dances, and budgeting the money allotted to the entire social program. Through this sys- tem more varied social life was available to the student, Although the campus or- ganizations did not respond, the social committee had a good year with Al's vig- orous dances, good movies, more unusual affairs, and Al's vigor. The college classes sponsored the Brothers Four, the first 'cbig namen on campus, which was the high- light of the social season.

PRI G WEEKE D A continental flair mixed with a distinct French atmosphere and the flavor of gay Paris were the basic ingredients in the 1963 Spring Weekend Plaisir d'Amour. Setting the pace for the weekend was the informal dance on Friday evening Moulin Rouge. In the true French fashion, the coffee shop and multi- purpose rooms of the,Student Union were transformed into an intriguing Parisian sidewalk cafe, complete with the characteristic checkered tablecloths, candles in wax covered bottles and French prints - perhaps even painted by Toulouse Latree, the famous prodigy of the Parisian Moulin Rouge. Saturday the pace quickened with co-ed sports events, a bus trip to New York, and an afternoon jazz concert in the quad- rangle. The climax of Spring Weekend, however, came with Saturday night and the formal ball. Versailles,' was the theme as couples passed through the gym doors into a Louise XIV chateau and a completely transformed Baldwin Gymnasium. Es- pecially memorable was 'cVersailles for Geri Snell, who was crowned Queen of Spring Weekend Saturday Nite. But the spirit of Spring Weekend did not stop there. The flavor 2. gay Paris was even carried over to Sunday with a delightful continental breakfast in the morning and an Open House in all the Women's dormitories in the afternoon.
