Independents Hold Dance
At University Club-
Spring Frolic'
Dance Theme
"Spring Frolic" will be the
theme of the first AIM sponsored
spring independent house party,
to be held at the University Club
tomorrow night.
Dancing will be provided from
9-12 for couples only. There will
be no admission charge.
An effort was made to include
stags, but because of the crowded
conditions that would have pre
vailed, it was decided to limit the
dance to couples only.
Tomorrow night's dance marks
the first independent houseparty
of its kind to be held at the Col
lege. Through AlM's efforts, how
ever, a similar project will be
given for independents every
year.
Wesley DeArmitt, a member of
the social committee, is the house
party chairman. Bill Manus is the
AIM social committee chairman,
with Fred Schultze, James Jones
and Norman Perschke forming
the remainder of the five-man
committee.

Plan Parades
With All-College and class elec
tions less than a week off, both
the Lion and State party have
formulated plans to stage mass
parades next week.
A political march by State party
adherents Monday will start the
pre-election festivities. The pa
rade will begin at the Alpha Fire
Company's station on S. Frazier
street at 9:15 p.m., wind its way
through town and the fraternity
section, and terminate at the Pi
Kappa Phi fraternity house.
Tim Baker and his "Marching
German Band" will spearhead the
State victory march. Although the
parade will have regular march
ers, all students are invited to
participate.
Choral Sing
After disbanding, marchers and
all other students on campus are
invited to attend an All-College
choral sing at the Pi Kappa Phi
house, sponsored by the State
clique.
Plans for a similar Lion parade
and rally, Tuesday night, are still
in the formative stage, but Mor
ton Snitzer, clique chairman, stat
ed yesterday the parade will defi
nitely go on.
Queen To Enter
National Contest
Claire Hillstrom, a senior home
economics student residing in
Simmons Hall, was selected as
Independent Queen in the contest
sponsored by the Association of
Independent Men at the College.
By winning the local e queen
title, Miss Hillstrom, of Trafford,
Pa., now enters the national Inde
pendent Student Association.
The remaining portion of the
contest will be judged by photo
graphs, vital statistics and con
testant's activities.
Bing Crosby, nationally famous
screen and radio personality, will
judge the national contest.
Although there will be no lo
cal coronation, a court of four
co-eds was selected from the re
maining contestants. They in
clude Miss Rose Eifert, Miss Phyl
lis Vorshein, Miss Marty Balt
zell and Miss Grace Schilder.
Boy Beats Frothy
To Judgment
Of Queen
She may have been chosen
Miss Penn State of 1949 and
Spring Week Queen, but Lois
Kenyon's appealing beauty was
openly acclaimed by at least one
admirer before Froth hit the
stands on Tuesday. Thig judge
of feminine pul
chritude was
four - year -
boy who
pressed h i s
miration
Lois just o .
year ago wh,
she was visitil

ing IFC wee)
end.
In true Penn
State style, Lois
wa s sitting on
her date's lap in a convertbile
outside the Sigma Phi Epsilon
house. But, as usual, someone
was checking up on female be
havior; it was a four-year-old
freckle-faced boy. "Hey, that's a
pretty big baby you have on your
lap," was his apropos comment.
Perhaps the male element will
verify the statement of this young
connoisseur of beauty. He was
only four years old, but he knew
a good thing when he saw it.
Mrs. Shaver's Boy
Shares Spotlight
At IFC Ball
One of the best liked, most ver
satile and talented musicians in
the limelight of a bandstand to
day, is Mrs. Shaver's boy Charlie
—chosen in a recent Downbeat
poll of fans as one of the coun
try's top three trumpet-men.
Born and brought up in New
York's Harlem, where modern
music one of the motivating
forces of every-day life, Charlie
learned to strum the banjo and
ukulele even before he learned
to play "hookey" from his 'read
in', 'ritin' and 'ritiimetic. He in
dulged in "hookey" only to get
back to his music. He'll tell you
there never seemed to be enough
time for his favorite study . • .
Charlie took up the trumpet
ten years ago and without benefit
of instruction, won his first job
with the Frankie Fairfax band.
After that he played with Tiny
Bradshaw, Lucky Millinder and
the John Kirby bands and then
achieved country-wide fame on
the Raymond Scott and Paul
Baron CBS radio shows. He pre
ferred to join the Tommy Dorsey
crew after having turned down
offers from almost every other
name-band leader in the busi
ness.
Mrs. Shaver's little boy, Char
lie, will be one of the feature
attraction s of the Tommy Dorsey
band which will do its "stuff" in
Rec Hall tonight.
Trout Fishing
George Harvey, assistant pro
fessor of physical education, will
speak on "Trout Fishing in the
State College Area" in 121 Sparks
at 7:30 p.m. April 11.
Houseparties—
Continued from page one
opening of a new chapter room. Legal beverage at the Phi Kappa
Tau's will be milk. Milkman's Matinee being the central theme of
the Phi Tau party.
Probably the most beautiful women will be at the Pi Kappa Phi
Rose Ball. About 30 imports are expected to add that 'come-hither'
touch to the formal dancing. Highlighting the Lambda Chi Alpha
Mardi Gras will be the selection of a king and queen from the cos
tumed guests. For X-Gl's stationed in Europe, Phi Kappa's "A Night
In Paris" will probably bring back sweet memories.
Alpha Sigma Phi will hold a "Parthenon Prance" while Tau Phi
Delta is planning to have "an unusual good time" for all. Al Capone
will be honored above the living room fireplace at the Alpha Tau
Omega "Roaring Twenties Ball." All guests must be dressed as gang
sters to be admitted to the special "gambling den." Turning to a
more peaceful atmosphere, Alpha CM Rho will have it's annual
Spring Dance.
The "Old Mill" will be the setting of the Pi Lambda Phi pledge
dance. At Sigma Phi Sigma, Buck Williams' orchestra will provide
the blue notes for the "Rhapsody in Blue" dance. It will be just an
other weekend for the SPE's. Nothing special has been planned by
Sigma Phi Epsilon. The same will hold true at the Pink Elephants.
the Delta Sigs are still recovering from the Sailors "Brawl."
Theta Xi will have a formal dinner followed by a formal dance
centered around a Mariners theme. Sea language and decoration will
add to the nautical air. Beta Sigma Rho will also go formal with
their Spring Cotillion. Oriental noises, but not language, will be the
feature attraction at the Alpha Epsilon Pi "Chinatown Dance." Dick
Anderson and his band will play the bedtime music for the pajama
party at Phi Kappa Psi.
Kenyon
All hillbillies and mountaineers will find a home away from
home at the Sigma Phi Alpha house where square dancing will be
the dance of the evening. Once again the hobos will take over, this
time at the Alpha Chi Sigma Hobo Dance. All jitterbug enthusiasts
probably will spend most of the evening at Zeta Beta Tau where
jazz and more jazz will rock the rafters.
The jolly roger will fly high at Acacia where pirate dress and
decoration will set the mood for the "Buccaneer Brawl." Keeping
in the mood with the season, Phi Epsilon Pi will be the setting for
the "Spring Fever Ball." Sigma Pj again goes formal with their an
nual "Orchid Dinner Dance," while their next door neighbor, Theta
Kappa Phi, will go informal with their "Jail House Jump." Cell
block decorations will convert the lounge into a Rockview annex.
Bob Clemens will twirl the baton for the Alpha Gamma Rho "Bun
ny Hop."
An informal Saturday night party tops the program at the Delta
Upsilon house, and at the Beaver House, Kappa Sigma will confine
their entertainment to the afternoon when a combo will provide the
music
The God Bacchus Reigns Supreme at the Phi Kappa Sigma
"Bacchanal Dance." Draped-sheet costumes will be the standard
order of dress. The good-ship Triangle ran aground and a "Ship
wreck Party" will be held there until the tide comes in again. The
Merry Macs combo will furnish the dancing tunes at the Sigma
Alpha Epsilon house. Closed to brothers and their dates, Delta Theta
Sigma will hold their formal dinner dance in honor of their pledges
at the Skytop Restaurant.
Before the celebrant has made the rounds it'll probably be time
to take his coed date back to the dorm But, if he has an import ...
