clamoring for more. Last year's
total sales of 33,000 tickets broke
all previous records.
Dean of Men Frank J. Simes,
observing the carnival, said it was
one of the largest carnil crowds
he has seen in a long time.
Winners in each category—
panel and quiz, western and po
lice and detective—will be an
nounced at Awards Night tonight.
No booths were closed, but two
shows were warned by checkers
that their shows were a "little
shady." The booths warned were
"Gunfight at O.K. Motel," Sigma
Phi Epsilon and -McAllister Hall,
and "And God Created Cowboys," -
Beta Sigma Rho and Atherton
Hall. The second time' these booths
were checked, the shows had been
modified to meet carnival stand
ards of good taste.
Campus patrolmen patrolled
the grounds from 7 to 12 p.m.
They were called into action,
on two counts: to stop a herd
of high school kids from raid
ing the back of the Pi Sigma
Upsilon booth and to clamp
down on another group of high
schoolers "messing around with
bean-shooters," James Jimirro,
Spring Week chairman, said.
The Home Delivery Pizza con
cession was given a warning by
the committee for accepting some
$l5O in change. Carnival rules
prohibited any booth or concession
from making cash transactions.
No power failures were reported
' this year with the use of the per
manent lighting system on the
intramural field, although a few
1 booths had difficulty with elec
trical connections due to faulty
wiring.
"I was afraid the cold ttkm
peratures tonight might scare
people away but the turnout
has been tremendous." Jimirro
said. "The students have been
the real heroes," he said, "in
making the carnival a success."
John Bott, carnival chairman,
was also pleased with Carnival's
success. "Carnival is the financial
backbone of Spring Week; it pays
for all the other events. Spring
Week spirit on the part of the
students is the best I've ever
i seen," he added.
