Nothing like a man for men around the house. Morlene Longwood, Normo Tunt- land ond Anita Wcstcrgoord ploy hos- tesses to Larry Nesset, Hoppy and Selmer Hogcn. Come Into My Parlor Not every day do you walk into the girls ' dorm and find men in all the rooms. Not that they (the men) would object, but it just doesn ' t happen. How- ever, after approximately 592 hours of house-cleaning (grand total, that is) the gals were ready to welcome their guests to the WSGA open house. The entire scene looked something like an ant hill in full steam. Heard it said that one busy little ant paid his way through fall quarter by re-selling the candy he collected going from room to room. Never can tell though — it might be just a story. The first all-college mixer was the Union mixer. After a free movie in the auditorium, Staters rushed to the Union for free food. And if you got tired of playing bingo or ping pong, you could play let ' s hit each other over the head with the shuffle board mallet — or you could throw darts. Still haven ' t figured out why there wasn ' t a target to throw them at. Better late than never, the entertain- ment, Obert Knutson, arrived with his pantomime act. V. V. Volstorff pours the drinks as Barb Chombers and Bob Mocck look on open-mouthed. Mrs. Stoner seems occusfomcd to this sort of thing. Twenty-three

And here we have some of the most talented members of the freshman class Jolene Johnson, third from right, is vigorously applouded by fellow talent-showers. Frosh Flaunt Talent Just as if the upperclassmen didn ' t know thiey were on campus, the frosh were ready to prove their worth by pre- senting a talent show. This year ' s Cot- tontail Capers featured fifteen fresh- man acts. The cottontails did themselves proud too. Jim Rochovitz won first place, based on the audience ' s applause with his September Song. And another song- ster, Jolene Johnson, rated a first place from the judges. The show did go on! With entertain- ment jumping from songs topantomimes, from magicians to dancers. During the lull while the judges were vainly trying to pick best acts (probably they wound up flipping a coin) the master of cere- monies, Clark Abrahamson, rambled around the stage giving out first a joke and then a song with the aid of his trusty ukelele. One of the most populor acts of the evening: Jim Roch- ovitz sings September Song, accompanied by Toi Kangus. Twent.v-two

. . . Someone to watch over me . . . Wayne King watches over Roger Dean, who Is wandering off some- where, and the bond vocalist, who is about to take a break. Wayne King, the Waltz King . . . played his way into the hearts of Staters as he appeared here this fall. King and his saxophone appeared in a two-hour concert. Although he is noted as the Waltz King his program went from waltzes to popular songs and to jazz. Just as his waltzes set everyone dreaming, his jazz bounced them right out of their chairs. C-v f v3oivln % Waltz King His two vocalists won the whole- hearted applause of the audience. Such songs as Josephine and Alexander ' s Rag Time Band were special audience favorites. King ' s stage manner of friendly jok- ing and mugging were both relaxing and enjoyable. At the same time he commanded the audience ' s interest like a true artist. Campus dignitaries gave a dignified hip hooray when the enrollment rock- eted to a new high of 2662! The fresh- man class was the largest with 1071. And the Ag division was plowed under by the engineers who topped the di- visional count with 713 slide rules to their favor. The entire Wayne King orchestra. Most ot the bond take a break as a trio ot musicians tootle away. Here is one of the high spots of the concert. Twenty-four
