sprinG weeKenD Spring Weekend this year was renamed Spring Bookend to emphasize its theme of iterature. As usual the stu- dent body devoted many hours of hard work to con- struct the fine floats and displays. The parade. Literature in Review, was not blessed by the best weather but the atmosphere was warm with an enthusiasm that reduced the meteorological dreariness. Friday night, a carnival in the gym called Festival of Books sustained a gala air with its active booths and noisy games. The Book Bash picnic at Willow Point Park on Satur- day afternoon attracted about six hundred people despite the forty degree weather! The dance, Opus Fictionale, in the evening was held in the Midtown Plaza to ‘le jazz hot' of Duke Ellington and his Orchestra. The coronation of Sue Heacock and Jim Williams as Miss RIT and Mr. Campus was featured at the Midtown dance. This first off-campus Spring Weekend dance attracted more than fifteen hundred people and so was a rousing success. Officially, the record attendance plus the remarkable co-operation and organization has made Spring Book- end the most successful Spring Wefekend on record. 30 jazz, man
