chivalry is not dead. Jtist ask the wofnen of Western as twirp week approaches. The highlight of the week-end was the At ' Em Eves dance sponsored by the A. W. S. Not only do the xvomen open doors, carry trays, pay for the evening and arrange the date, but they also buy an extra late per. Closing time is 12:30, but because of Penny Night , a penny a minute will enable her to cater to her drag until 1:30. And I ' ll bet they weren ' t even warm. 26

Maynard Ferguson — Wild — at the Brown Dance. Richard Maltby — subtle swing — at the Gold Dance . Surely no one could complain for lack of activity during this xveek-end. Nor was there a lack of truly great music. It ' s just too bad that there can ' t be a Hom-ecoming every iveek-end — that is if your pocket can stand it. The Brothers Four — uninhibited — at the ]azz Concert. 25

A HILTON HOTEL 7AT 0 SOI¥l Western ' s first boivl game -may not have been the most spectacular nor the biggest, but it was definitely the coldest and vettest. The Aviation Botcl, also a first, was sponsored by the Dayton, Ohio Junior Chamber of Commerce. Featured Friday, a jazz concert and dance, Saturday a parade followed by the game. Wet snow began to fall at 7 :00 A. M. Sattirday, just in time to turn the parade into a sled race. By kick off, freezing rain took over to cover the game with one big icicle. As is now history. Western ivas defeated by the Lobos of New Mexico, 28-12. Despite bad weather, Western ' s spirit was at an all time high. Very feiv students were able to make it to Dayton, but those that did were sure proud of their team. The band was on hand to march in the parade and provide half time entertainment. An added attraction was twelve men that ran a relay from Kalamazoo to Dayton to present the team with a good luck letter. The marathon runners leave Walwood Union. No parade held after Thanksgiving is complete without Santa. 27
