IFC ' s Fall Frolics The Raelets, four girl vocalists, appeared on stage next and harmonized with Ray Charles to popular Hit the Road Jack and many more. The performance reached its high point as the show was brought to a close with the song everyone had an- ticipated— What ' d I Say?, with an encore joined in by the whole audience. Ray Charles left to a standing ovation and boarded a private plane to continue his college tour. Howie Glicken, overall chairman of Fall Frolics for IFC stated. It was one of the most successful Frolics ever presented on campus.

Scholarship Slavery, if not extinction, would be the price of unilateral disarmament, a Harvard professor of govern- ment and history told the OF audience at the Ninth Annual Scholarship Convocation. Dr. William Y. Elliot, advisor to the Secretary of State, termed peaceful coexistence a Soviet sham. Ask yourself, he said, if Moscow means by ' peace- ful coexistence ' anything other than that we consent to exist on Moscow ' s terms. Some 450 professors and college administrators, colorfully clad in academic regalia, marched up the aisle in the Florida Gym to the strains of Pomp and Cir- cumstance, in a processional which opened the con- vocation, one of the two formal ceremonies to be held during the year. Convocation, equaled in importance only by Com- mencement ' Day, pays tribute to the academic quality of the student body by honoring those owlio have ex- celled in their studies during the preceding school year. J. Hillis Miller Memorial Scholarships, honoring the former University President, went to four categories of students for work in 1961. In all, 22 individual scholarships were given and six campus organizations cite dfor academic excellence.
