Phi Sigma Tau Prepares To Go
National This Coming Weekend
Six Students
Save Dance
The back - to - school dance,
postponed because of the out
break of flu on campus several
weeks ago, seemed to be headed
for a similar fate again last Sat
urday night. Because of a com
plication the dance was left with
out a combo.
The combo had evidently made
previous arrangements about
which the agency through which
they were booked to ACC knew
nothing. At 8’clock Saturday
night, when the group had not
arrived, the representative of the
agency was called, and those re
sponsible for the dance were as
sured that the group would ar
rive shortly. This information
proved to be wrong and and it
was later discovered that the
group played at a fraternity
party at Dtike University that
night.
Despite all these unfortunate
happenings, the Co-Op went to
work on the problem, and six
ACC students came to the res
cue. Forming a combo quickly,
but effectively, were John Cedar-
burg, Steve Estep, Sam Fowler,
Steve Perry, Mike Wenger, and
Chuck Willis. I
