cancels frosh party the residence halls council has withdrawn its proposal for a freshman cocktail party which was to be held tomorrow richard sedmak president of the class of 71 made the announcement at the class cabinet meeting tuesday night the cocktail party idea was initiated by the interfraternity council and presented to the freshman cabinet on oct 90 the cost of tha ifc sponsored party would have been 2 30 per couple enough to cover the cost of seven drinks per couple although the number of drinks allowed would have been unlimited the party would have been held ln two freshman residence halls between the afternoon wrestling meet and the temptations concert on nov 6 am winchester president of rhc announced to the 71 cabinet that ifc was going beyond its jurisdiction and said he thought it was a pretense to make money as an alternative he said rhc would give the same party free of charge sedmak said the reasons for the party's cancellation were related to the fact that rhc had expected only 150 couples at the party however a poll had shown that 360 to 400 couples were interested the party would have then cost about 1,000 sedmak said lt would be too much for rhc to sponsor the afternoon cocktail party and have open parties after the concert he added that there might be trouble with the liquor control board and that two freshman residence halls might not be able to accomodate 400 couples some cabinet members voiced the opinion that taking over the cocktail party was merely a political move on winchester's part they said that the free party idea must not have been very well thought out sedmak tabled discussion on this matter on the grounds that winchester had not yet officially announced the decision through memoranda to the house presidents richard slowes

universally acknowledged to be the best performing of the motown groups their poised profession alism on stage ls exceptional and the seemingly effortless ease with which they do their songs makes
