Bruce Dybvig’s All-American band and an intermission floor show provided the entertainment. The Cabinet, in collaboration with the SL and A office planned an orientation program for junior and senior transfer students, a group usually disregarded in such programs. Moving up of general elections from fall to spring, was considered as a more efficient means of conducting campus elections. The new cabinets would then be able to start their business year without the usual rime lost for adjustment. The Junior Cabinet was coordinated with the other cabinets through the steering committee. There, representatives from each cabinet designed overall cabinet policy. HOT NEWS on the Junior Ball Is poured over by Diane Mayhow and rest ore busy.
