WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12. 1956 Informality Theme of Fifth Annual Mont Alto Encampment Encampment Sidelight BMOC's, Faculty Let Down Hair A black Cadillac limousine pulled up to the porch of the, Mont Alto Forest School administration building Wednesdays night and a handsome young man stepped out. Smiling at the gathering of students, he said: "In time for Dinner?" Walking toward Ralph H. Wherry, associate professor of insurance, and the same time admiring Wherry's Bermuda shorts, President Milton S. Eisen hower said: "Gee, I wish I had the nerve!" This opened the three-day faculty-student encampment at the secluded mountain forestry campus, where 120 "campers" en joyed a peppering of spontaneous hilarity as well as an enlightening workshop program. Two of the early male ar rivals, a student and friend, were strolling past the women's cottage. They were greeted by three coed voices from the sec ond floor window of the cot tage. One of the coeds, in her wild exhuberance, shout e d. "Come on up. Ed!" His friend, Dean of Men Frank J. Simes, laughingly said, "Go ahead Ed,: and proceeded down the path guffawing loudly. Meanwhile, George L. Dono van. director of associated stu dents activities, was stopped by a State Policeman on the way to Encampment. Donovan escaped unscathed to report later: "He only wanted my autograph." By the way. according to the AII-University president, Dono van has been given his uncon ditional release from the faculty softball team "due to old age." - T h e faculty-student softball game, scheduled on the only day .it rained, was forfeited by the faculty due to the "age element." However, the champion ten nis team of Dr. Eric A. Walker, president-elect of the Univer sity. and Dr. Herbert Glenn, director of the University Health Service, easily swatted the student contingent. Dr. Walker during the workshop sessions circulated among the groups. As he entered one room a faculty member had just fin ished explaining that Froth was once banned for publishing a poem with two meanings—one ew College Diner Between the Movies COMPLETE FOOD SERVICE FREEZER FRESH ICE CREAM "Serving the students and the community for over 25 years." By JUDY HARKISON reading horizontally and the oth er vertically. "Do your jokes in the En gineer read both ways, too?" queried a student. "That's too subtle for an en gineer," Dr. Walker retorted. The congregation moved to a wooded area near the campus to get acquainted the first evening over hot dogs and songs. Among the .campers, two of the "city folk" appeared most out of place. One, armed with two flash lights while cautiously crossing a stream rock by rock, slipped and got an unexpected dunk in the water. Another student, a white-haired senior, was perch ed on a picnic table and batted fiercely at the bugs with an opened black umbrella. Lion Party to Elect Clique Officers For Coming Year Lion party, one of two campus political parties, will elect All- University clique officers at 7 p.m. Sunday in 121 Sparks. At the meeting, open to all par ty members, a clique chairman, vice clique chairman, and clique secretary will be elected. Later in the year, students will have an opportunity to join either the Lion party or Campus party, the other political organization. Byron LaVan, temporary Lion party clique chairman, said yes terday the organizational meeting is being held early this year be cause preparations must begin for fall All-University elections in Oc tober. Each party will nominate candi dates for freshman and sophomore classes at a later meeting. Fresh man and sophomores will then elect their class officers during the fall election. NE DAILY COLLEGIAN.
