S S Hears The Ineomparable Satehmo Chilly winds in january are not unusual on our frigid campus. Hot winds are-especially when those torrid breezes eminate from the golden horn of the incompar- able Satchmo. More than 4,000 personsjamrned the new auditorium in Hallenbeck Hall to hear the sandpaper throat of Louis Armstrong greet them with a vibrant Hello-0-ar Dolly-e-e-e. The internationally famous trumpet player and vocalist, complete with his handkerchief in his left hand, set the crowd to toe-tapping and finger-rapping with several of the songs he has turned into American bywords over the past 50 years. Armstrong, whose birth has often been equated with the birth ofjazz, said he enjoyed the college tour circuit, but longed for his New Orleans home every time our Cold winds blew. The concert was promoted to help raise funds for the SCS Spanners. But after dishing out 355000 to Satch- mo it is believed that the group took a slight loss. MFI?

Eskimo Escapades Hey, you, got your button yet? Come on you guys, we need some more slush here on the head. Ah, are you . . . I mean has anyone . . . I was wondering il' next Saturday night . . . well, would you like to go to the dance with me???? Even the greenest frosh on campus knew that some- thing big was happening. And he was so right-it was Sno Days 1966. Sno Days began Tuesday, january 18, with all the resident halls and fraternities taided by their favorite sororitiesj locked in fierce competition for the snow sculpture trophy. Centered around the theme Eskimo Escapadesu, several excellent models were constructed with the judges finally awarding the top prize to Tau Kappa Epsilon and Alpha Xi Delta.

Later that day students voted to determine which two ofthe semi-finalists were most deserving of the Winter Royalty crown. Mean- while, all frats and sororities were conducting secret nocturnal practic sessions for the Sno Days games which began Saturday. Saturday evening a tired group of students danced to the cascading sound of the Moon Misters, an eleven- piece dance band from St. JOl1I1,S. Refreshments were served and the awards trophies were presented during intermission, As the evening came to a misty close, cou- ples danced closer and closer, but no one was sure if it wassjust the atmosphere or fatigue from Sno Days 1966. According to Sno Days co-chairman, Ron Gaines, we had greater and more enthusiastic participation this year than ever before.
