ball have already been formulated " said goldmann the semi-formal ball will feature the music of a big name dance band performing in the grand ball room of the hotel bethlehem in addition to the dance band a rock and roll band will perform in the main dining room and a small combo will be featured in the candle light room the ball taking the place of the traditional fri day night concert will be highlighted with a queen contest which will really be done up right ac there is no doubt in my mind that the institution within us moat stultifying to personal and aca demic growth is the freshman quad stated jonathan b elkus on monday his speech gryphons grades and the unholy grail was the second annual lecture sponsored by alpha sigma phi fraternity in the university center the segregated freshman quad bach's tops said the 1,000 listeners at last week's annual presentation of the bach festival in the packer memorial chapel another 1,000 are expected this weekend for the last performance of this year see quad's page 7 was formed in 1955 elkus an associate professor of music attri buted its formation to a period he termed the lehigh renaissance during this period many able students flunked out as a result of the ivory-tower toughness of keeping academic standards high elkus said as a result the ex pedient of the freshman quad was adopted most everyone would take the same core of courses freshmen would be separated from upper classmen and fraternity rushing would be delayed so that there would be a minimum of interrup tion of a freshman's concentration on his studies elkus suggested however that lehigh has outgrown the fresh man quad and that the freshmen have outgrown the gryphons there is something socially wrong when so many freshmen leave for the weekend these boys by 808 bachmann arcadia had an audience wednesday evening for the first time this semester to watch it pass what is probably the semester's most significant piece of legislation the legislation was a motion to require all student-directed organi zations to submit their financial statements and requests for cash sup port to arcadia financial support is currently controlled by the stu dent activities committee the audience was composed of eight members of the pledge class of delta chi the pledges entered just as the meeting was about to begin and the arcadians looked on in awe
