Phi Sigma Tau Top Hat
Dance Is Big Success
To the music of the “Rhythm
Rocketts” and blues vocalist Emily
Foreman the 1961-62 “Mr. Top
Hat” dance opened Saturday eve
ning. The dance sponsored by Phi
Sigma Tau Sorority is an annual
event at Atlantic Christian and at^
tendance proved it to be quite
popular. An intermission time
count revealed 350 tickets had been
collected.
The sisters are celebrating the
50th anniversary of Phi Sigma Tau
this year and the entire dance was
a good reflection of their enthus
iasm.
The dining room was decorated
in a night-club theme, complete
with cigarette girls and candle
lighted tables. Refreshments were
available from a booth operated at
the entrance. Intermission was the
high-light of the dance. A 1920 ren
dition of “The Varsity Drag” per
formed by Gina Allen, Scarlett
Mills and Susan Webb started
things off; this was followed by
Miss Mayole Richardson singing
in grand style the sentimental vo
cal “Til There Was You.” Nan-
elle Edmundson and Janet Black
wood, “The Sigma Tau Chi Sing
ers” sang several ballads accom
panied by ukeleles and the final
vccal number was presented by
“The Omega Chi Singers,” Peggy
Bivens, Linda Morris and Nancy
Roberson — with the mood' set
by the opening entertainment the
chorus line marched onto the stage
in true vaudeville fashion. This
event is perhaps the most popular
of intermission save the crowning
of “Mr. Top Hat” which followed
immediately. Mr. Jim S i 1 v e r-
thorne, president of Sigma Phi
Epsilon Fraternity, introduced
each “Top Hat” candidate who
stepped through a make-shift door
and was greeted by a chorus girl

the WACR had gone over their
allotted amount of money last

have expressed the opinion that
this addition will aid in bringing
about a more effective governing
body.
The recent elections were a cul
mination of a proposal and plan'
initiated by Jeff Adams, president
of the Cooperative Association,
last spring during the association-
al presidential campaign.
Mr. Adams first presented the
matter to his new executive board
at its first meeting last May. At
that time, it was decided to post
pone action until the fall.
At a recent board meeting, the
board approved the representative
system and presented the proposal
to the student body and the entire
Cooperative Association. The asso
ciation approved the matter by a
majority vote.
The two representatives from
each class are in addition to the
class presidents, who already serve
on the board by virtue of their posi
tion. The new representatives will
have full voting rights and privi
leges on the board.
