AN-HELLENlC'S MERP week opened this year on Thursday, April l9, with a Spring concert. Those girls who dared -and there were quite a few-took mat- ters into their own delicate hands and asked the men out. So in New Hampshire Hall's lobby it was the fairer sex who paid at the ticket window while the other half of the twosome stood waiting at the door. The next evening the fanciest part of the weekend took place-the Ball. The theme this year was Candyland, and so the corsages the girls gave their dates were made accordingly. Many a jacket lapel still bore the evidence of melted lico- rice or lollipops the next day. While these corsages were being worn, melted and eaten, the couples danced to the music of Ron Peterson and his Wildcats. The crown- ing event of the evening was iust that. Pan- Hellenic president Ruth Berry crowned the king of the weekend-Senior, Mendon MacDonald. His barons were Bill Spain, Theta Chi, and Tom Gorman, Theta Kappa Phi. These three honored guests and their dates led a waltz, immediately after the coronation. On Saturday evening all women's houses held informal dances. And on Sunday the weekend was drawn to a close with buffet dinners at the sorority houses-the last time the girls pay the bills for another year -they hope!

Y- . ibm HE annual Blue Key Stunt Night drew ci crowd that made New Hampshire Hall almost burst at the seams on March 21, Friday evening. The curtain opened on Alpha Chi Omega's Totsy Goes ROTC, then Sigma Alpha Epsilon's Bars and Stripes Forever, Theta Upsilon's Parisian ln Durham, Acacia's A Night With The Ghoul Family, Chi Omega's Mis-fit Muf- fet, Alpha Tau Omega's One Night ln A Yukon Saloon, Alpha Xi Delta's Mem- ories ln A Muse, and Kappa Sigma's Knights of King Arthur's Court. Judges for the evening were Dr. G. H. Daggett of the English Department, Pro- fessor E. Cortez of the Speech Department, and Mr. Leo Cloutier of the New Hampshire Sunday News. Winning first place for the women were the Chi Omega girls whose Mis-fit Muffett acted her way not only through an imag- inary class room scene, but right into the hearts of the audience. The winning men contestants on the other hand were far from happy looking as they stood on the stage all pasty faced acting out the Ghoul family .... Acacia did an excellent iob! . . . Second prize for the women was won by Theta Upsilon, and for the men by Kappa Sigma.
