rr t Ht I IT Hk As is natural in a school of Wisconsin ' s quality, ifi? scope of degrees bestowed is quite sweeping. Each June at commencement time, two or three outstanding men are honored by the Univer- sity for their accomplish- ments in the outside world. Anolher tradition now firmly ensconced is the Army day held every spring. ROTC membership this year rose to - nine hundred, the highest fig- ure for any year since com- pulsory military training was discontinued — a significant fact, probably reflecting the general unrest In our world of today. Wisconsin students take Iheir play just as seriously as they take their work. Through the years various parties stand out for the regularity of their occurrence; in the fall come Haresfoot Follies and Homecoming Ball; in the winter, Prom and Wniter Car- nival; and In the spring, Military Ball and Senior Ball. These functions have become as traditional as the seasons themselves, and afford the student-body pleasant relaxa- tion from Ihe rigorous demands of currlcular work. Most recent and probably the fastest-developing tradition Is that of the annua! Winter Carnival. A noticeable impetus has been given by winter-sports lovers here on Campus, and the popularity of the last two festivals indicates that the Wisconsin winter fete soon will occupy a place in the sun along with the Carnivals held by some of the Eastern Institutions. 4 m

In a school of Wiscon- sin ' s size, fraternities and sororities quite naturally form a distinct minority group. This group makes up in solidarity what it lacks in numbers; as is demonstrated In its control over Icey campus posi- tions; and despite contrary rumors, fraternities and sororities seem destined for permanency among the university ' s Institutions. attraction of the Fall season • Home- Alumnl welcome the opportunity to return to the old Alma Mater and renew old acquaint- anceships. The Friday evening before the game finds the lower campus overflowing with grads and undergrads alike, surrounding the traditional bon- fire and responding to the Cheerleader ' s efforts to revive the spirit. In 1929 a new tradition found its way Into campus life. Pan-Hellenic Council, an Inter-surorlty body, was founded; and with it came Pan-Hell Ball. Every autumn since then, sorority girls conduct this function in its entirety — inviting their own dates in Lear-year fashion. Campus elections, occurring regularly each fall and spring, reveal the extent of democratic government at Wisconsin.
