About Senate:
B & It Wrong

ported that the Student

for Feb. 2 was postponed
due to the nbsence of the
Senate president.
Editorial criticism was
leveled at tho Senate In
that same issue for their

In reality, the presi
dent was scheduled to
muke a trip on Univer
sity business. The trip,
however, was postponed
at the last moment, thus
preventing his resched
uling the meeting. Also,
tho vice-president was
out of town.

S/1 / CHANGES SING
By JEAN VEAL
Sigma Alphn Iotu music sorority has made several
changes to Improve the annual Sorority Sing to be held
March 1 in Fine Arts Auditorium.
The maximum group number of participants has been
reduced from 40 to 24. Miss Connie Barber, president
of SAI, said the smaller number resulted In better at
tendance and more efficiency at rehearsals. She also
pointed out that 24 voices can he easily divided into
almost any arrangement.
IE A HOItOltITY needs help with direction or has any
other special problem. SAI has offered to send one of
their members to advise at rehearsals. SAI also gave
the sororities a list of companies from which they could
order music.
The dress regulation has been removed and each group
may now wear whatever they like.
THE ENTRANCE FEE, which was prevoiously de
termined by the number participating, has now been
changed to a flat rate of $15. Admission price has been
raised from 50 to 75 cents. The profit that SAI receives
from Sorority Sing makes up the greater part of their
scholarship fund each year.
SEVENTEEN SORORITIES will participate in the com
petition this year, each group singing one sorority song
and one from any other category. Three professional mu
sic people from the Athens area will serve as judges.
None are associated with the University.
Murray Solomon will emcee the event and the Phi Mu
Alpha Stage Band will provide Intermission entertainment.
Members of Sigma Alpha Phi, Athens High School
music sorority, will usher.
