Alpha Chi Omega and Theta
Chi fraternity.
Members of Marsha's court

after her younger sister Phyllis, was named one of three
finalists for the Niles High
School Homecoming Queen
title.
A biology major and physical education minor on the
secondary education curriculum, Marsha shows her individuality in two ways.
First she designed herself
the dress she wore to the
queen's announcement dance
last Tuesday. The dress, a
sleeveless white dull-tone satin sheath covered with an Empire lined sleeveless coat of
deep emerald green velvet,
was made by one of Marsha's
sorority sisters, Donna Conrad, Birmingham senior.

vivid activity, graceful movements and systemized construction without destroying
any of the beautiful Korean
elegance and flavor.
Stella R. Kwon, prima danc-
cer and choreographer and one
of the most distinguished classical ballerinas, has been adapting the classical techniques
and elements to modern performances on the stage since
she was  15 years old.
Having received her instruction from the master Korean
dancing authorities, Miss
Kwon opened her own dance
institute to teach young dancers and to create new styles
of dancing from the old style
folk dances. She selected about
20 of the most talented and
well trained dances from a-
mong hundreds of her pupils
and with rigorous training
made them professional dancers with the dream of establishing a series of year round
performances.
When the announcement of
the formation of this new
group was made public, hundred of dancers and singers
from all of Korea applied to
participate, After numerous
auditions were held 60 choral
singers and 24 dancers were
chosen.
The group gave their premiere performance in Jan. 1962
at  the  Seoul  Citizens Hall.
Most of the members of the
Arirang ensemble are graduates, of the Korean music
schools and universities and
all have received specialized
training in the folk lore of the
country.
The sentimental folk songs
are unlike those of any other
country. Their emotional flowing melodies are based on the
waltz-dancing rythms. Historians say the Korean melodies
result from the heritage of the
mixed blood of the Mongolians and the whites. Many of
the Korean songs bear the influence of even the Slavic,
Hungarian and Spanish flavors.
Arirang, the company's
name, comes from the most
popular folk song in Korea,
which is now similar in importance to our national anthem. Many different versions
of it are heard throughout
Korea — but each expresses
the love of the people for
their country as well as their
sorrows and complaints o f
their masters.

styled hairdo — a bouffant
page boy with somewhat
startling curl on the right side.
Marshal, active in her high
school days, reigned as her
high school Homecoming
Queen in 1962. She also served as secretary of her senior
class and was a member of the

School.

i on Mono"
The Men's Union will present The Lettermen Monday
night from 8-10 p.m. in Finch
Fieldhouse.
The Lettermen have proved
every kind of song from folk
ballads to popular recordings.
But it is their handling of a
love song that has made them
great. The quality of their
performances in night clubs
and at teenage record hops
matches that of any other top
vocal group in the country.
Lary Strieker, Men's Union
president, said that if the concert is a success they will attempt to sponsor another Big-
Name Talent this year. Among
the possibilities are The
Brothers Four, Peter Paul and
Mary, Louis Armstrong or
Dave Brubeck.
William Hueston, Saginaw
graduate student, has been
granted , a $5,400 fellowship
from the Water Supply and
Pollution Control, a division
of the federal government.
While working on his masters degree, Hueston is making
a study of microscopic plants
(diatoms) at Torch and Elk
lakes near Elk Rapids. One
million trout planted in these
lakes have disappeared. It is
believed fish population can be
related to the supply of diatoms in the water.
The fellowship will cover
tuition, equipment, fees and
living expenses for Hueston
while he works on the project.

"Most Americans don't give
a damn about the things in
this year's weird, mixed-up
and dull campaign."
For some people the definition of an "extremist" is "a
person who believes there
should be two television stations in Austin, Texas."
These were two of Victor
Lasky's opening statements in
reference to the 1964 national
campaign in his speech Wednesday night in Warriner
auditorium.
Lecturing on the topic "Politics: 1964-65," Lasky, author
of "JFK: The Man and the
Myth," told of weaknesses and
strengths of the 1964 presidential candidates in his 50-
minute talk.
Lasky said that the main
fault   of   the   candidates   and
