These displays will be placed on the lawns of the fraternity lodges and other designated areas of the cam pus. Each organization that doesn't have a lodge will draw for these campus areas at the time entrance fees are paid. The display fee will be $10 and must be paid by Jan uary 26. Construction costs of each entry may not exceed $50 and the actual construction on campus may not begin before Friday, February 3. The displays will be judged by two Mercer faculty members and two Maconites. The criteria they will use to judge the floats is: Originality — 40 pts. Pertinance to theme — 20 pts. Effort and time spent — 20 pts. Attractiveness — 20 pts. All organizations will be com peting for the first place trophy, and second and third place certifi cates which will be announced at the half of the Homecoming game. Last year Lambda Chi Alpha won the trophy and A TO- Alpha Delta Phi tied for the second place award The competition, floats and parade have always been a highlight of the weekend, but it was felt that a display could better show the thought and time that had been put into it. This year the displays will not be destroyed immediately after judging, hut will remain to be appreciated by the faculty and visitors on the campus. Mercer is a school built on tradi tion; and one of these is the elec tion of Toby and Tot. Toby and Tot are students whose spirit, dedication, and activities have been in the interest of bettering Mercer. Each fraternity and sorority con siders these qualifications and nominates a candidate that they feel exemplifies this ideal. Elected by the entire student body on Wednesday, February 1, the results will be announced at the half of the Homecoming game. The en trance deadline for Toby-Tot can didates and fees was yesterday. Perhaiw the best feature of the week-end other than the Bear’s game is the entertainment. Friday night there will be a concert featur ing Dionne Warwick. Dionne is probably one of the most dynamic female vocalists of the day. She has recorded songs such as. "Any one Who Ever Had A Heart," "Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” "When The Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes.” and many more. Saturday afternoon Buddie’s Buddies will play for the student body from 3:00 until 5:00. Most students remember Buddie’s Bud dies from the Miss Mercer Pageant last spring quarter and the Fresh man Pep Rally Orientation Week. Teacher Evaluation Program Slated You will have the opportunity to evaluate five of your professors! You can say just what you think of their teaching, personalities, etc, etc. If you are a junior or senior, you will evaluate three of your professors in your major field and two in your minor field. If you are a freshman or aophomore. you may evaluate any five professors that you have had at Mercer. The questionnaire is being pre pared by Magaret King and Claudette Wells of the Social Re search Class with the help of the Student Government. Such ques tions as these will be on the evalua tion: Which teacher do you like moat, least? Can you be a per sonality in the class? Is outside work helpful or just time consum ing? Questions on the evaluation came from Mercer students, similar studies, and published material on college teaching. When? Where? February 1, 1967 during the hours of 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the lobby of the Stu dent Center. DON'T FORGET TO EVALUATE YOUR PROFES SORS! IFC Elects Manning, Brince Manning. Kappa Sigma, was elected president of the Mer cer Intra-Fraternity Council at its meeting of January 11. Others officers elected were Gary Brenner. Kappa Alpha, vice- president; John Ellington, Sigma Alpha Epeilon, secretary; Roddy Clark, Alpha Tau Omega, treas urer; and Bill Wehunt, Lambda Chi Alpha, rush coordinator. The Council announces that Greek Week is planned for the week of March with one Greek ball on April 1 and possible a number of competitive, intra- fraternity activities to precede the Saturday ball. After the game Saturday night, Eddie Floyd will lead the night's entertainment backed by the Em bers. Eddie Floyd currently sings “Knock on Wood" and the Embers have played at several other Mercer functions. These activities promise to pro vide a great Homecoming week end, but in no way over-shadow the main event, the Bears vs. San ford game. There is no doubt that the Bears have greatly improved since last year, and there is no doubt that the school spirit has improved These factors combined, this HoflieZoming game could be a great victory for the Bears.
