ILLINOIS WESLEYAN I would rather sit on a pump-kin, and have it all to myself, than to be crowded on a velvet cushion. -- HENRY DAVID THOREAU UNIVERSITY Vol. 65 Bloomington, Illinois, Friday, October 31, 1958 President Outlines No. 8 Financial Plans Sigma Kappa, Sigma Chi Receive Honors In 1958 Homecoming Parade By TOM SHIELDS At ten o'clock Saturday morn ing, October 25, the Homecom ing parade started on East Uni versity street and traveled down Main street to Front, then turner on East and went to the Sta dium. The American Legion colo guard from Bloomington led the parade and was followed by clown, who set the mood of thf parade. Next came the Wesleyar band followed by the President'. car. The first float was Southwest Hall's "A Toast To The Big Top.' A large pink champagne glass stood in the center with some of the characters from the circus toasting to the "Big Top." Miss Independent, Janel Thompson, candidate for the Queen, drove past next. A large traveling cage with a long necked giraffe bobbing in and out was the Indee Women's Float, drawn by two small ponies. Theta Chi's offering, "Almost Under the Big Top," depicted a policeman watching a young boy trying to sneak under the red and orange tent, which revolved to show the boy inside and two seals bouncing a ball. Homecoming Queen, Joan Cut-ter from SAI, looked petite atop her convertible in front of the SAI float "Pack Your Trunk, Elmhurst." The SAI's decorated' their float with a white elephant and a small grey mouse who prodded the elephant on with a large silver poker. Jan Steider, DO queen candi-date, was also chairman of the Homecoming parade committee. the North Pole." A clown scooting along on his big red wagon was the TKE con-tribution to the parade. Connie Popovich, KD queen candidate, was next in her con-vertible. The KD's accomplished an un-usual handling of materials. Their float, "Scene Stealer," con-sisted of a large yellow and brown lion inside a gigantic cage pulled by two horses. Inside the cage was also\a smaller lion sit-ting on the football. Acacia's red and white clown tivirling three hula hoops came down the street next. The clown was covered with large red polka dots. Acacia received second place from the judges. Sherrill Cordts, SK candidate, preceded the first place Sigma Kappa float, "Dumbo," the large ear-flapping elephant. This float had a personality all its own. Phi Mu Alpha's sleek white rocket was next. Activity Ticket Needed Students planning to attend - the Millikin game tomorrow n afternoon must show their ac-d tivity tickets if they wish to be - charged the student price of $.75. Admission will otherwise r be $1.50. Game time is 1i30 e p.m. a e Margi Hill, KKG queen candi. a date, waved to the crowd next. s Kappa's immense black seal the third place float in the fe-t male division, followed Miss Hill ' The seal flapped its tail and flip-s pers while balancing a red foot-f ball. s The Pontiac band followed the KKG float, adding to the parade t feeling. A huge Bluejay under a spin-ning top holding a Wesleyan tfootball player was the Sigma Chi addition. The judges gave it first prize in the men's division. Striking Sharon Smith was the AGD queen candidate. Sharon also played a major part in the Homecoming play. Originality was the keynote of the AGD caterpillar which took second place. A long, woman-powered green, yellow, and red wiggly, wobbly worm contained most of the Alpha Gams under-neath, wearing red stockings and white sneakers. 'The unusual color handling of the Phi Gain float depicting a large popcorn popper and vendor added to the iparade's variation. Phi Gam received third place. On the last convertible sat Ka-ron Brickey, AOPi candidate for Queen. The AOPi float's pastel shades presented a swami of India charming a large snake. The over-all color was a pale blue ac-cented by the Swami's jacket. The Nautilus' journey on the top of the world was the theme of the Indee Men's self-propelled float. It consisted of a submarine partially submerged in a ton of water covered by "a portion of the North Pole." Conclusion? A wonderful pa-rade!

When Roger Colton called for new business, Sue McCollough raised her hand and said, "I move, on behalf of Acacia fra-ternity, that the Sigma Chi float be disqualified from Homecom-ing because it did not meet the Homecoming rules, height in particular." John Edwards sec-onded the motion. Suddenly Homecoming wasn't as over as Howard Fricke had thought. Just before Sue's mo-tion, he said "Homecoming is over. I thought it went very well." The crowd laughed. "I'm speaking as a member of the Homecoming Committee, and not as a member of a so-called fraternity down here," he has-tened to add. THE QUESTION The question under' discussion was: Did the Sigma Chi float pass under the sign and wire over the west gate of the campus without the wire being lifted up by poles manned by Sigma Chi inches from the ground. Local police officials had stat-ed that Wesleyan could have a parade if no float exceeded fif-teen feet in height so that it could pass under utility wires. Jan Steider; parade chairman, said that this was then incor-porated into the campus Home-coming rules. Bob Andruczk pointed out that the Sigma Chi float was forty-five minutes late in arriving for position. He added that they weren't penalized for this. WOULD BE LATE Howard Fricke declared that the Independent Men and Sigma Chi notified him that they would be late in arriving. "Perhaps they should have been disqualified," he said. But he added that he didn't think this was the spirit of Homecoming. Steve Ashmore said that he vwas walking with other Sigma Chi pledges who were carrying the boards, but that the boards (Continued on page 2) I The money saved by no longer needing to take student activity costs out of tuition payments as well as the revenue to be raised by increased tuition for new stu-dents will be used to raise teach-ers' salaries, according to Presi-lent Bertholf.

Tuition will be (Continued on page 2) I C c s THE i Tuition Going Up; .Activity Fee Set President Lloyd M. Bertholf announced at the All-University Council meeting Monday night that the Board of Trustees is be-ing asked to raise tuition for all new students next year $50, and to add a $25 per semester ac-tivity fee to the bill of all stu-dents. This recommendation was approved Tuesday by the Board of Trustees. SENATE CONTROL Some $18,000 of the approxi-mately $55,000 to be raised by this student activity fee will be put under the financial adminis-tration of the Student Senate. Having student control over some activities is new at Wes-leyan and is President Bertholf's idea. The Senate would allocate this money to the various activities placed under their control. Ten-tatively included in this list are The Argus, Wesleyana, convoca-tions, social events, and Student Senate. Other activities may be added later. STUDENT INITIATIVE In the future, if students wish additional funds for student ac-tivities, they will ask the Board of Trustees to raise the activity fee. A $4 increase would give over $4400 additional revenue, based on present enrollment. As a first step toward imple-menting this program, the Exec-utive Committee of the Student Senate will meet with the Presi-dent's Council to determine ex-actly which activities the Stu-dent Senate wishes to assume budgetary responsibility for at this time. After the activities have been selected, those activities will sub-mit a budget for 1959-1960. These budgets will be compared with income to be available, and ei-ther the budgets will be reduced or the activity fee will be raised enough to get the funds neces-sary to finance the program out-lined.
