lot. the rain stopped and the carni
val was held the following week.
The original carnivals were not
a collection of skits as they are
now. Dice games, a mouse gamb
ling game, a colored chicken
gambling game and even a for
tune-telling both were all adver
tised as part of the carnivals.
A MAD HATTERS Parade was
inaugurated in 1950. Contestants
wore hats pertaining to the theme
of their carnival booth and
marched' in front of Old Main
where judges were stationed.. The
parade vras discontinued after
1956.

JAMES C. McLEOD, dean of

the banquet.
In his , speech to about 75 peo

with pride and not shame to their
fraternities, there is no need to
fear the future of the• fraternit
system.

A CARAVAN of student cars

marked the beginning of the float
parade in 1950. In 1952 all cars
were banned from the parade and
floats were drawn by horses or
students dressed in costumes..
This year the float parade has

activities, but a poster contestliss

best of all times," he. said, "so
long as it helps men to broaden
their horizons. gives sense to their
personal significance and..aids in
scholarship.' '
He said that the fraternities
should give themselves four tests.
The tests are:
•Are they able. to stand up
against exposure to outsiders?
•Do they make a. significant
contribution to the college or uni
versity?
•Do they compare themselves
wi thwe that are above them
rather-Mian with those below
them?
•Do they sacrifice themselves
in order to stand up for what is
right?
"There is no more potential on
any campus than a Greek fra
ternity." McLeod said. "but the
tragedy is that some chapters fail
to realise it and won't meet their
responsibilities."
