Opinions from the other side of the fence have it that the idea of the “backward” dance will give the coeds a chance to even affairs that would include a list of things that have appeared unfavorable to them. The fellows wil lhave to take it, but it's all in fun.
Tom Gabbert. chairman of the affair, yesterday stated that at the dance the entire evening will be devoted to a girl’s cheat. “The fellows will have to be at their best if they expect a dance; it's going to be entirely up to the girl to ask for the dances.”
Students wishing to purchase bids are urged to do so before tomorrow when they will go off sale. The cashier’s window in the Student Union. sophomore council members, and sorority members will handle the bids until tomorrow. “Every bid must be sold by tomorrow afternoon. At present, there is no indication that the bids will be sold at the door,” Gabbert added.
With bargain prices the current thing, the bids are selling for $1.98.
