Songfest
ans Approach Climax
Songfest—SC's long-awaited student musical extravaganza—comes to the world-famous Hollywood Bowl Friday, at 8 p.m.
With more than 850 participants singing in the 27-number show. Songfest for 1957 looms as the biggest and best of all time. Ticket sales, too, are indicating that student and faculty enthusiasm is at an all-time high.
Master of ceremonies for Songfest will be Counselor of Men Dr. Robert G. Gordon. Student announcer will be James Rodgers.
Ticket chairman Bob Johnson, who has re-opened a section of the Bowl in order to help accommodate the many people still planning to purchase tickets, told the Daily Trojan that “many students are not buying tickets, especially the SI seats, because they feel that they are not too good.
“Oh the contrary, any seat in the Bowl is excellent. Anyone who has ever been there can tell you that,” he added.
Johnson said that the Bowl’s acoustics were “beauti-
ful,” and that “because of the Bowl’s seating arrangement, a spectator can see the entire stage from any place in the audience.”
Moved from the Greek Theater to the Bowl this year because of the need for more seating, Songfest will be iudged by eight personalities from the music and entertainment world.
Co-chairman Sherri Green announced that the eight prominent men had “accented the invitation of the Songfest committee to judge the show.” They will judge the' 26 competing groups in six divisions. Their names will not be released until the day of the performance.
There will be one non-competitive entry, that of the International Students. They will do an “Interpretation f of an Omar Khyam Poem.” It will be the first non-competitive group in Songfest history.
Chairman Gordon Jenkins Jr. said that he felt the “International presentation will really add to the show,' and also, it is appropriate since SC is known for its many | foreign students. We think the audience will thoroughly
enjoy it, as well as the rest of the show.”
Songfest s grand finale, a feature not common in college singing shows but nevertheless traditional of SC, will emcompass the voices of both the massed Songfest chorus—850 strong—and the SC A Cappela Choir, in addition to the Trojan Symphonic Band.
As previously announced, the grand finale will be conducted by guest director Nelson Riddle, of Capitol Records.
Rehearsal of the grand finale will be held tonight in 133 FH beginning at 8. At that time, Songfest participants will be briefed as to proper procedure on the nights of the dress rehearsal, tomorrow, and the final show, Friday. Attendance is mandatory, as participants not at the rehearsal may disqualify their groups from winning trophies.
The trophies themseives, all exact miniature replicas of Tommy Trojan, will be presented to the winners in each division, the second place winners in all except the novelty division, and a third place award in the Men’s divisions, which has six entries.
Defending champions Kappa Kappa Gamma and Sigma Phi Epsilon, who won last year’s giant “Tommy” sweepstakes trophy with “Once in the Highlands” from “Brigadoon.” will be singing in separate divisions this year. The Kappas have entered only the Women’s division, singing “When the Idle Poor Become the Idle Rich.” and i the Sig Eps are in the Mixed Division, singing a “My Fair Lady” medley with Delta Delta Delta.
The Sig Eps have also entered the Men’s division and the Men’s small group (3 to 5) division. They are also defending champs in the Men’s division.
Songfest for 1957 will get underway at 8 p.m. Friday, because of the length of the show. Past performances have been limited to 24 numbers, but according to Jenkins, “This year’s crop of numbers was so great that we just had to take a chance and allow three extra numbers on the show. As it was, we had 59 original applicants from which to choose at the auditions last month.”
Tomorrow night’s dress rehearsal has been sanctioned by the university and girls living in dorms and sorority houses will be allowed to take specials.

'EDUCATION WEEK' PLANS TO ROLL NEXT MONDAY
Preparations are now in the homestretch for Education Week. May 20-24, to be presented by members of the Education Council and of the Education Alumni Association.
The week’s program will begin Monday with an Open House from 3:15-5:30 at the YWCA. On Tuesday and Wednesday a Problem Workshop will be held in Founder’s Hall.
“The Problem Workshop should be on the ‘must’ Jist for each future teacher,” said Louise Rees, publicity director for the week’s events.
“Here you have an opportunity to gain understanding in such teaching problems as discipline, parent relationships, exceptional children and remedial reading,” she explained.
Miss Rees added that other subjects being discussed will be TV in the classroom, getting the job and the use of Audio-Visual aids.
‘‘These panel discussions will be led by top-notch teachers psychologists in the fie.'d who are anxious to help us with our questions and problems,” she said.
On Thursday, the Honors Convocations will take place at Town and Gown at 8 p.m. The Week will then close on Friday with an evaluation of the year’s activities.
Miss Rees reminded that “to select which panel discussions you would like to attend, you may do so at the north entrance to Founders Hall from 3:30-4 where registration will take place.”
