I'm not just positive as to what combination we had--in any case it had to be either A-B or A-C----but it was a steep rate in proportion to the alumni office's over-all budget. My change to just a single type membership was promoted by the previous four year's experience, as I felt that the additional money saved from the combined membership would be more useful to the entire alumni program if it was destined to mailing pieces, additional art work for the Alumnus, or wherever it was more desperately needed. The benefits derived from the extra membership simply did not seem ,to warrant the added expense in relation to Willamette's limited budget. So if you will check the AAC correspondence file, you will find a letter written to Ernie Stewart, specifying the change of membership for WU---I believe it will fully explain the switch-over. I'm sorry I can't recall the exact month it was written. Am looking forward with great anticipation to "\the next Alumnus-as I think you have a gift for layout--and I'm certaih it will be a great improvement1 Glad Joann is helping out with Glee publicity---have no earth-shaking suggestions, but perhaps if they were still interested, they could have the winning class appear on TV in thp-area---with two year's previ0us ground-work, it could probably be worked out. Jack Hurd, ed. of TV GUide (local) might go for some copy--if it carried the right angle (whether or no on the TV), ditto the Let's Go publication (if it were given a reverse slant perhaps) Also don't know what's going to hapren to this Deejay program now that Moon Mullihs has taken over--but there's a slim chance, if you gave it the right pitch, he might give Glee a mention. Perhaps a real good (and I mean GOOD) gag shot of a pre-Glee situation (two or three students--or perhaps one with centfal figures and background of Phrong) could be worked in thru Newsaasts, e.g., Art Kirkham (KOIN), Ivan Jones (IPTV) Chuck Foster, etc.etc. Tell Joann to get appointed to the Portland beat~-this w~ we might get together for lunch!

We don't know just how to explairr it, but there really is something to be gained. Perhaps there is a certain truth in the philosophy of ignorance is happiness. Despite the facts' that studies take a back seat this week, students are at their happy best. Never, to our knowledge is the friendly "Willamette Family" spirit more noticeable-not at May Weekend, Homecoming, or Parents' Weekend. Then, too, there might be something to the philosophy that not all to be learned is found in books and classes. If ever the scene is set for experiments in sociology, psychology, philosophy, or political science, it is at Glee practices. And let's not forget the music and physical education aspects. If you're not having fun, you are wasting your time. Even the seniors, despite two rather discouraging previous encounters are out in force to meet the Freshman Challenge. The spirit is spreading. It is even a little hard for us to be cynical about the cynics, bless their hearts! "World of Night." Martin Wolf wrote the music and Flossy Hodge, Bo Kirsch, Tom Loree, and Larry Lister created the words. Last year's winning class of 1958 will present "Rose Magic,'" the words of which were written by Muriel Miellunen and the music by Ron Kingsley. The song will. be presented-with a fonnation of a long green stemmed red rose on a background of white. ~'Serenadc to Willamette," the freshman entry written by Sandy Nickel and Judy Barber, willJ1ave a dark lantern with a yellow flame over a sky blue background for their formation. After the presentations of Glee songs ar~ over, the judges. who will be seated apart in different areas of the gym will fill out their scoring and tum them over to Dr. Daniel Schultze and the class presidents for final tabulation. As everyone in the gymnasium awaits the decision, student talent will be used in an attempt to overcome increasing tautness and excitement during the long minutes that the preSidents take to ponder over the judges' scoring. Amy Jo Blomberg and Marilyn Hanthorn will comprise a violin duet playing "Long and Short of If" with the piano accompaniment of Paul Ackennan. Dan Stoffer and Brtl'Ielson will then do a series of ~personations. Concluding the talent, Sophie Goritson will do her version of George Gershwin'So'" "Summertime:' She will be accompanied by Paul Ackennan at the piano. Dave·Frost playing the bass, and Dee Ball using his bongo drums. Dr. Schultze will mount the platform at this time with the banner bearers and announce that the winner of this year's Glee is the class of nineteen fifty . . . . .

(Photo hy Hora("c \lazJoom) . _--Sleepless Nights~ One Banner And a Trip to the Mill Stream ./-.' .. One of Willamette's oldest and best loved traditions is Freshman Glee, which will be held tomorrow night in the gymnasium at 8. Every year since 1908, when two freshman students, Brick Harrison and Jimmy Oakes conceived the idea of having inter-class competition in song writing, singing and presentation WiIlamette's four classes have avidly taken part in the event. FIRST "COLLEGE GLEE," as it was called at that time, was held in Waller Hall. The judging in 1908 was based on nearly the same things it is today, with each class writing their original words and music for a novelty, serenade, alma mater or ~.~~t w~:m~y s~~' ~:h~~~t :r;:~ which originated the event. The 1911 Glee was moved to the First Methodist church and it was there the seniors established their present-day tradition of wearing graduation caps and gowns. THE FOLLOWING year saw the Gle~ competition move to the Salem Armory, where it was held during the uext 11 years. In 1923, the building of the Willamette gymnasium had been completed and Glee was held there as it has beeo every year since. THE SINGING of parodies, which is as much a part of Glee actiVity as Waller Hall is a part of 'VillameUc's campus, is a comparatively recent addition to Glee. In the early years of Glee, WiIlam-I ette students took out the Willamette song books and sang aIde.! Glee songs in honor of the alumm. When the singing of parodies first bc~an, they were not sung in the orderly fashion that they are todav. During the challenge and BluC" !\lomlay convocations, the classes would st~nd IIp and start singing as soon as everything was quiet. BLUE MONDAY, one of the most pleasing and exciting aspects of Glee, was added several years after Glee became established as an annual event. The Monday-after-Glee convocation was originally created to sing the songs of the Glee competition. It soon developed into an event similar to 'Villamette's "Kangaroo Kourt" in which stunts were performed by members of the losing classes. From that came the Glee bets which were to be paid 00 Blue Monday as they are now. The traditional banner, which is awarded to the winning class each year, began in 1909, the year after the original Glee. The banner was a pennant made by the freshman class. In 1923. the Glee committee decided it could afford to buy a real banner. A new banner was purchased in 1944 after the 1923 banner was so eagerly claimed by the winning class it was rippe1 to s~d." ~__ -_._---~---Spring Songtest i Leaders Named I WILLAMETTE UN I V E R-I SITY:, Salem (Specia1)-Son_ dra Roark, freshman from Port-I land, was named this week as! secretary for the freshman glee: a.nd several other committee as-. signments were made by Glee i Manager.

Priority Hwes On Glee Seats ToldinCouncil Fwa! rules coocerning the issuing of Freslunan Glee tickets were announced in Student Councll Wednesday afternoon. "Every member of the Student Body is assured one ticket, and judging from student response in past years, those who want two tickets to Glee will probably be able to get them," Glee Manager Del Cummings asserted. Two tickets will be given to each member of a committee. Every holder of an ASWU student body card is entitled to one ticket, according to Del Cummings, Glee manager. Students may obtain tickets by signing up in Waller Hall on Wednesday and Thursday, March 14 and 15. Non-participants sign up on the same days in the Student Body office upon presentation of S.B. cards. Law students may sign up in the law building on the same days. On Monday, March 19, participa!iog students only may sign up for additional tickets. On Wednesday, March 21, nonparticipants and law students may sign up for a second ticket provided there axe still some left. Participants may pick up their tickets on Friday, March 23, during practice. Nonparticipants may also pick up their tickets on that Friday in the Student Body office. Committees of all four classes, \\.'Titcrs of songs, song leaders and fomlation leaders will be entitled to two tickets with the same priority as the Freshman Glee committee. , There arc ]500 scats available in tlw gymnaSium. Glee Publicity To Include TV 1 , Radio, television and possible na-! tional magazine coverage have been ! seeured for Fr('cshman Glee, March i 24, reports publicity chairman Pete Levcton. Stations KGW of Portland and KOCO of Salem will broadcast i Glee, both live and taped, and KLOR-TV of Portland will pre.ent a IS-minute Glee preview-review five days oefore-the event. In addition, radio time on the program "},lonitor" may be secured, and picture coverage in Life magazine is hoped for, with details to be worked out soon, Leveton added. "Most of the details are being worked out," says Manager Del Cummings, adding that the committ~ es are functioning efficiently: II tIckets, Royal Keith; lighting, Norm d Dyer; backdrop, June Lytle; sou-I Freshmen to Hurl Glee Cllallellge Tuesday; Spirit Heightens as Songfest Date .Approaches As the March 24 date of Freshman Glee competition looms larger 'before the Willamette student body, Glee committees are working feverishly to make this a successful Glee year. In Tuesday's regular convocation in the gym, Royal Keith, freshman class president, will publicly declare the Freshman's challenge to the other classes to compete in Glee. Dean Benson, Doug Houser, and Jim Cain will come to the rescue of their senior, junior, and sophomore classes and accept the challenge. Freshman Glee manager, Del Cummings, will tell of the past history of Glee and what is to be expected in the future before the Glee Progress, RlilesReported Rules and progress on publicity for Freshman Glee were reported to Student Council Wednesday by Del Cummings, Glee mana<Yer. Pete Leveton, publicity chairm;n, spent most of last Tuesday in Portland making arrangements with KLORTV for coverage and with KGW concerning the "Monitor" program. .Rules for Glee are: 1. Judging WIll be on the same basis as last ye~r: music, 20 points; words, 20 pomts; presentation, 40 points; and formation, 10 points. 2. Each class must have one basic formation. 3. The entire formation must particip~ te vocally. 4. No stage properties will be permitted. 5. A complete alphabetical list of participating members of each class must be submitted to Dave Lewis' office by 8 p.m. on March 20. 6. Scheduled practices will begin Monday, March 19. The gym will r:ot be available until that date. OpI honal class meetings may not begin before next \Vednesday. Unused time in the gym will be left open for the freshman class. individual classes begin the singing of their parodies, beginning with the seniors. Beginning Monday the class Glee participants will hold rehearsals at Waller Hall, the Music Recital Room, Chresto Cottage, and the gym at all available hours beginning at 5 a. m. each morning until Saturday. After the presentation of the "Serenades" on the fateful evening of Glee, the judges will vacate the premises to ponder over the songs they will have heard. Student talent will be used in an attempt to re��lieve the nervous tension -of the classes as they await the verdict. The traditional cardinal and gold banner will be brought to the stage by Gwen Fried, Nancy Wyly, Sandi Harris, and Dorothy Rohlfing, before the winner is announced. The banner will then be turped over to Ken Stoop, Dick WalsDorne, Fred Wade and Don Swartz to hold while the class announced as the winner by Dr. Daniel Schulze rushes to the stage to claim its prize. FollOwing the Glee competition, the girls of the winning class will have 2 o'clock late permissions to celebrate their triumph as they serenade the other students with the winning song as well as currently popular hits. The other classes will have 1 o'clock late pers, including the losing class after they have had a refreshing bath in the Milll Stream. " Radio coverage of the entire competition will be carried "liv~' by KOCO Saturday evening, and a full Campus Waits Freshman Glee WILLA METTE UNIVERSITY, Salem (Special)-As the March 24 date of Willamette's .annual freshman glee competition, interclass songfest, looms larger before the Willamette student body, glee committees are working feverishly to make this a successful glee year. I The freshman class Monday opened the official round of practices each class will participate in before the final production Saturday night. The lIOphomores, juniors, and seniors will take their turns at the earlymorning sessions the rest of this week. All in all, the classes will put more than 30 hours in on their song and formation for the final night. 21;4 hour re-broadcast will be heard on the 'Salem station Sunday evening. Portland's KGW will broadcast a half-hour transcription of the songs Sunday morning at 10:30. Recordings of past Glees will be 'on sale after practices, and orders will be taken for this year's records. The prices of the "records will be $1.50 for this year's, 50 cents for last year's and 25 cents for records of previous years. Glee Publicity Taking Shape J Pete Leveton, publicity chairman for 1956 Freshman Glee, reports that ..the publicity for this year's Glee is beginning to take shape. Radio coverage for the event will be handled by Salem's KOCO, and Portland's KGW. KOCO will live tape the show and the event will be played back over the air severa~ times during the days following Glee. KGW, on the other hand, will take about one-half hour tape of the songs and will play it back the next day or during the following week. Highlights of the . show will also be touched on by KGW. Leveton is also working with KGW on the possibility of Monitor : coverage. TV coverage is still doubtful. Leveton had made arrangements with KLOR-TV for publicity preceding the show. However, Ron Myron, on whose program the publicity would have taken place, is no longer with the station and KLOR-TV finds it impossible to work Glee in any other way. Leveton is now working with KPTV of Portland on the prospect of some coverage by that station. Members of Leveton's committee will be busy during the next two weeks contacting Salem business clubs, letting them know of the coming event. Leveton states, "The purpose of this publicity is not to sell tickets, but to instigate more interest in Willamette University." ------- Freshman Glee Challenges Hur,led at WU Assembly Annual tomfoolery associate'd with the Freshman Glee song contestIthrown into Mill Creek.

New Glee Manager Cummings I' Urges Every Freshman to Work II "If 1 had had to wait another two days for the outcome, I think I would have had ulcers," sighed Del Cum min g s, the newly-elected I Freshman Glee manager. In a runI off with Jim Anderson, Cummings recently was elected to one of the ill highest positions in the freshman class. Although the basic principles of Glee cannot be changed without changing the whole Glee traditions, Cummings felt that this year's Glee could be the most successful ev~rwith the whole-hearted support of the entire freshman class, Committee sign-up lists have been placed in each of the living organizations, and Cummings urged everyone in the· class to take an active part in Glee by signing up for at least one of the committees.

' -~'--~.-"_----'~---, I On the Monday After Glee •• • Two days after the fateful evening when the winning class of the 1956 Freshman Glee receives their cardinal and gold banner, Willamette's campus will be overflowing with individuals dressed in strange garb and doing unusual things. THAT DAY will be Blue Monday, a time when all bets made by confident Willamette students in the heat of the pre-Glee campaigns become payable. And on the agenda for that fateful Monday is the traditional "bath" in the Mill Stream for the losing class, "who must swim" in the stream nearest Lausanne Hall. Nevertheless, many Willamettites are sure of a victory for their classes and are willing to go out of their way to prove it. Bob Brady seems to have faith in his sophomore class as does junior Penny Lilles. Bob has agreed to sit in his first class Monday and beat on a tom-tom while singing a Nairobi fight song if the sophomore class finishes behind the juniors. Penny has consented to do the same if her class finishes below his class, Volney Sigmund has literally risked his "skin" against Carole Pfaff, as he agreed to be tarred and feathered if his junior class places lower than the sophomore class. The same thing will happen to Carole if the winning class from last year loses. SOPHOMORE Chuck Marsters feels that he can't lose in his bet with Nancy Lee, freshman. If Chuck's class wins she must sit on his lap through his calculus class, If the freshmen place higher than the sophomores, the opposite will occur. Students will be entertained with the music of the junior class fight song played on a trombone by Shirley Ulinder in front of Eaton Hall if her class loses. Kay Ruberg has offered to disect a frog in the Cat Cavern at noon if her class finishes behind her opponent's, but no one .has acc~pted the challenge as of yet, she said. Lucy Myers will wear green hair around the campus Monday if her sophomore class places behind the freshman class, but if the tables are turned Bob Barker will have to dye his hair green also. Glee bets must be confined to the campus and must not conflict with University rules. Students are reminded to use good judgment in making the bets, -'-...001' Juo/0rs Dunked. on J::Uu,e lUonday It was Blue Monday ..at Willamette University today as these members of the Junior class will testify. They were dunked in Mill Creek by other classes as prize for taking last place in Freshman Glee songfest Saturday night. The Sophomores won the annual competition. Capital Journal Photographer Ben Maxwell, a veteran ot many Blue Monday pictures, got this shot just before getting literally "soaked" himself by boisterous students.
