New Type Dig to Replace Dances of Last Semester
Benefit
Dance
Cancelled
Lack of Interest Causes Deferment by Greek Council
Lack of interest, demonstrated by scanty advance ticket sales, resulted in the ! cancellation of the British war relief benefit dance last night by the interfraternity council.
Under the original plans Trojan students were to dance tonight in the Fiesta room of the Ambassador hotel. The council cancelled all arrangements at the hotel and postponed the affair to a later date.
Numerous conflicting events of the weekend, including two basketball games, two ice-hockey games, and sorority and fraternity affairs were given as reasons.
LOSS AVERTED
Joe Wapner. president of the in-terfratemity council, and Clark Liddell, chairman of the dance committee, said that, “by cancelling the dance the interfraternity council is saved from a loss of $400 or $500.”
The council will make arrangements to refund the price of the tickets to all students who havt already purchased bids. These students will receive their payments next week at the Student Union bookstore, according to Liddell.
The dance committee made the original plans in cooperation with the local organization of the British war relief national committee. Sponsors of the affair were the interfraternity and panhellenic councils.
GARDENIA SALE
Additional funds were to have been raised from the sale of mystery gardenias by freshman class representatives. The gardenias will be sold up and down 28th street row for a nominal price, according to Park Scott, freshman class president.
The funds would have composed a “financial valentine” to be sent to London for use ln war relief work.
Members of the committee, ln addition to Liddell and Wapner. Include Margaret Branscomb, president of the panhellenic council, Jack Naye, and Dwight Hart.
