Annual Pajama Races Are Rowdy As Ever The term pajama race generally includes various other activities as one can tell by this scene at Alpha Rho Chi. Pledges not only have to run in the pajama race, but they also have to advertise the annual event all over campus. Readying for the race sometimes involves a good deal more excitement than the actual participation itself, as is shown here. 12

Ann Shipley is held captive by Gary Danna, who sits as a pompous ruler, playing parts dictated by the costuming. While Pledge Dances Alleviate Early Pressure The house decorations and the costumes carry out the pledge dance themes. This fall Tau Kappa Epsilon adopted a Psycho theme, awarding keys to cabin 1 as favors. Getting into the spirit of the dance are Carol Ann Huszar and Mary Morehart. r m 1 ,.Ji . -, • j — s— n M m ' t 11

The Illi Bus is a great service to many students. In bad weather, it can't be beat. Lost? Try standing here a while. The Illi Bus is a New Service for the films The Illi Bus is the newest service on the University of Illinois campus. For five cents a student or staff member can ride anywhere on the route from Men's Residence Halls near the Stadium on the west to Illini Grove or to Women's Residence Halls on the east. One can get on or leave close to any of one hundred buildings. Thirty stops have now been marked by signs. Buses run every seven minutes from 7:17 a.m. to 5:20 p.m Mondays through Fridays, except during vacations. Any point can be reached in not more than fourteen minutes. Service began on a trial basis November 14, 1960, and is still in its birth stages. It is to become permanent if demand supports the project. This could very well be so. In the first week the number of buses had to be in- creased from three to six. The number of passengers tripled by the end of the first week. The big test for the Illi Bus will come in the Spring, when walking ceases to be chore. We hope that sights as this will be uncommon. 13
