A poll was conducted on cam-pus on Novemlber 13th and Zip Glotz was known by only three people, a G.E. vice- president speaking 'in chapel, a ware salesman peddling his wares, and an old woman of ninety, whose mind was crammed with many facts, flashlight in hand picking worms for bait. On November 17th another poll was taken and the name Zip Glotz was still shrouded in ignorance. In the interim Zip Glotz had visited the campus unnoticed, un- acclairned and unheraldecl. 'What does the Page Twenty-four name Zip Glotz mean to you individually? As the third trombonist in 'Sam Donaliuds musical organization, Zip Glotz stands as a symbol in the hearts and minds of many. In his own little way, he contributed generously to the Interfraternity Council's Gridiron Ball. Zip Glotz stands as a symbol of the music, the laughter, the gayety, and the tenderness, the sweet memories of that week-end. Zip Glotz is symbolic of that vision of ethereal loveli- ness that materialized as your 'date on the majestic night. Zip Glotz stands a symbol of tribute to Elihu Modlin, chairman, his com- mittee, and all those who donated liberally of their time and energy.

The Board of Managers looks casual as they group behind President Tway and Secretary Williams. 7fae Board af fucmagead - Y fnelfu in Qaeifzman Qaienlajian Highly active in the fall, the Board of Man- agers spends most of the rest of the year remi- niscing about their accomplishments. Made up of representatives from the Mountebanks, Idol, Concordiensis, GARNET, International Re- lations Club, Philomathean Society, Christian Association, Cuting Club, Radio Society, Glee Club, Band, and Student Tax Committee, the group functions under the guidance ol' Advisor Wilfred H. Ketz. This year, the Board of Managers met on alternate Tuesdays, rotating with the Student Council, and took full advantage of its con- stitution-given right of making recommenda- tions to the latter governmental body. In turn, when the Student Council was faced with such menial tasks as organizing activi- ties for Alumni Homecoming Weekend, it recommended that the Board of Managers assume the responsibility. In this particular situation, all of the major activities on campus arranged open houses at their offices but were greeted by an alumni-less campus. The Glee Club arranged a concert for the weekend, which they sang even though. the singing group outnumbered the audience of stray stu- dents. In the future, however, it is felt that any alumni that may return will be even more appreciated and will 'be treated to a more spectacular show. Jack Tway served as President during the past year, assisted by Roger Williams as Secre- tary. Among the more active members was Bernard McGovern, who organized and for the main part carried out the new Freshman Orientation program. It is in this orientation work that the Board of Nlanagers demonstrates its usefulness. As- signing an upper-class advisor to each enter- ing freshman in the summer, the Boardis com- mittee continues its work through most of the fall as it keeps the advisors active in their campus aid. In this activity, the Board of Managers performs an essential work at Union. Page Twenty-five
