night of Penn State's new "joint
weekend." •

vey being conducted by The Daily
Collegian shows tha't many frater
nities : Plans to hold -their 'formal
houte dance on Friday night in
compliande with Houseparty sched
ules of past years. --

conflict with Soph Hop, since, the
dance is also. boo'ked for Friday
night. Co-chairmen Jack J. Bird
44 anda. Hemp Noble '44 have an
nounced that dress . for Soph Hop
will be formal and that dancing
will be held in Ree-Hall from 9 p.

Savitt's history is classical all the
way back. His grandfather was a
close friend ,of the 'Ruislan com
poser, 'Tschaikowsky. • . His father
conducted . the Czar's imperial
-bands. -But for a' fancy for radio,
Jan , Would probably •be listed
among the classical artists too. .
Savitt'S fainily immigrated td the
United States
.and settled in Phil
adelphia When Jan was still a baby.
He grew up with his violin and lat
er became affiliated with the Phil
adelphia Orchestra as a violin vir
