number of applicants must be
limited.

BEAT RUTGERS:
Quartet to Sing
At Junior Breakfast
Four men dressed to their necks in plaid vests will sing for your
breakfast Sunday morning. That is, if you're planning . to attend the
'junior dais breakfast at 9:30 a.m. in the Dutch Pantry.
The vested men are the Mellowaires Quartet—Bob - Burns, first
tenor; George Georgieff, second tenor; Jack Jenkins, baritone;
and Jim Shaw, bass. And they're for hire, they say.
You , may have heard them at
the Women's -, aecreation Associa
tion convention in• October or the
all-College sing last •weekend.
"They're very comical, to say
the least," and "They're loaded
with expression" we r e typical
comments.
To Sing. in Pittsburgh
If you're from Missouri and
you have to be shown, why don't
you pick up their routine at, the
breakfast? Tickets are $1.25 a
Counle, and juniors may sign up
until 5 p.m. today at the Student
Union Desk.
- _
The Mellowaires have worked
up quite a repertoire in the two
months since their organization.
"We try to learn two new songs
a week—we do about 30 Snow,"
tenor Burns said. "Practices at
Theta Xi and Tau Kappa Epsilon
usually turn out to be concerts
with the whole house in the base
ment listening to us.
"You can tell we love to sing—
look at the tim es• we practice
(11:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. six nights
a week.)"
One of the highlights of their
20-minute routine is a comic ren
dition of Rigoletto: Other special
ties are "Margie," "Close Har
mony," "Stardust," "Blue Room"
and "September Song." "You see;
we sing everything," they ex
plained, "—old favorites, novel
ties, comedy,_ and popular stuff."
Two Major in Music
- Three of the • Mellowaires are
seniors, so the quartet is bound
to join the army soon—unfortun
ately, not as a quartet. "But we'd
love to keep it together and try
'professional work for awhile,"
Burns said.

Riding Club Petitions
Persons having Riding Club pe
titions for improved recreational,
riding facilities are asked to re
turn them to, Jean Lathlaen, 364
McElwain, before Monday.
Just two Mellowaires. Shaw
and Jenkins, are music majors.
Burns is majoring in hotel admin
istration, and Georgieff, pre-med.
But the four are active in either
Chapel Choir. Glee Club, or Blue
Band.
'Jack Jenkins has his own dance
band which played for Le. Mardi
Bal during Mardi Gras weekend.
When asked if there was any
musical talent in their families,
Burns and Shaw would admit to
only a piano which "mother plays
beautifully."
Although their goal is musical
comedy, the men may , end up yet
singing together as the Mellow
aires in hot el- administrator -
Burns' "Honeymoon Hotel."
