of a three-ring circus and for¬
mer greats of the “big top” are
expected to entertain.

cus have been chosen and they

sions at a meeting to be held
sometime in the near future. Each
booth will carry out the theme of
the festival.
One of the highlights of the
carnival is the chromo-sonic
fountain which will dominate the
Mirror Pools.
Cabinet Submits
Assemblies Idea
Recommendation will go to the
ASB board from the cabinet that
the commissioner of assemblies
be appointed for a one year time
period instead of one semester as
the job stands now. The cabinet
came to this decision after dis¬
cussing the poor attendance and
low interest value of recent Fri¬
day presentations.
It was the reasoning of the
student group that not enough
planning and foresight were go¬
ing into the assembly programs
and that all these events should
be planned months instead of
weeks in advance. It was hoped
that by allowing the assemblies
commission the full year period
that they would be able to ob¬
tain better andmore interesting
talent.
