SINGING about perils and pitfalls of campus life at University, a coed dances in front of chorus, reminds freshmen to be wary. PATTER was exchanged about scholarship by two so¬ rority pledges representing opposite extremes of coeds. CLASS CARDS were obtained after standing in lines for interminable periods of time and lengthy explanations. 23

KAPPA PLEDGES entertained the capacity crowd at the orientation show with a skit about various types of coeds. Gail Wood, in front of chorus line, executes a wierd combination of a softshoe and bop, while the chorus shrieks the words to pop-tune “Seventeen.” Orientation: Legs and talent The orientation skits in the Greek theatre presented by the new pledge classes of the various sororities are rarely or¬ ganized, poorly planned and always entertaining. Revolving principally around leg art and occasionally featuring a pledge with some sort of less obvious talent, the skits are similar in form and presentation every year. For girls to plan a skit in the first few days after pledging is in itself a difficult, if not foolhardy, task, and the lack of polish in production is overlooked by a not-too-discri- minating audience. Orientation is directed by the men’s honorary Omicron Delta Kappa. The skits for this year’s orientation show were tied together in a single, confusing afternoon by Steve B. Friedheim, who, having directed the varsity show for the 1954 Gaebale, was aware of the staging and lighting diffi¬ culties presented by the open-air theatre. DIRECTOR of the sorority pledge skits, Steve Friedheim, puffs on his pipe before next act. 22
