Strumming and vocalizing at Moonshine Madness, the Evans Scholars' pledge dance, are Judy Coren and Gayle Dickechoff. Receiving a free lift from Ken Mckenzie, Bonnie Guimondt relaxes from Una Noche en las Bahamas, the Lambda Chi Alpha dance. Fall Brings a Strange Array of Student Dress Visiting various different parties, John Jumper and Susan Two pay respects to Paddy Murphy, dead brother of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Strange stages of dress are sported by stu- dents on fall weekends. The reason seems to lie in the fact that this is the time for the pledge dance, which is a theme occasion. Entailing a variety of different themes, these dances are sponsored by each pledge class for the entertainment of the entire chapter. Numerous dances sported Polyne- sian themes with dress ranging from sarongs to mau-maus. Another popular dance evolved around an idea of cowboys and Indians. These costumes were anything from western to native Indian. The Roaring Twenties was one of the other favorites. Many houses have for their pledge dance an annual theme or occasion. One such dance is the yearly fireman's ball, wherein dates are picked up in a firetruck. A wake honoring the passing away from over in- dulgence of a beloved brother is another an- nual function. A funeral procession picks up dates. A bundle dance, where dates supply each other with clothes to be worn is an annual dance. 24
