Les El Pie Thro Included Phi Epsilon PI fraternity will again this year sponsor its Pie Throwing Contest, which will be held behind McKissick Library at two o'clock next Tuesday after noon as a part of May Day festivities. As is the custom, the May Queen and the president of the student body will bid against each other in the event to determine * who gets the pie-in the face, that is! Harriett Dickert, the lovely Queen of May, and David White, new student body president, will open the traditional bidding. A group of professors are ex pected to be put on the block, leaving themselves at the mercy of the entire student body to be bidded upon. The privilege of plastering a professor in the face with a pie goes to the highest bidder. Professors and student body presidents aren't the only indi viduals who are subject to having their faces smeared with the gooey stuff. The contest is open to anyone in the student body who desires to challenge any one else during the pie-flinging session. So, apparently, the only possible way to avoid getting your mug filled with your favorite pie is to out-bid the other fellow. Don't complain about the cost of prevention for the money goes sto a worth-while cause. Last year, the Phi Eps purchased a television set for the girls' wing of the in firmary with the proceeds.

Les Elgart and his hand, fea turing Don Forbes, is well known throughout the United States. Before he started his own band, Les experienced the operations, attributes and pitfalls of the lead ing bands in the country. He was heard on the Eddie Cantor Show with Connie Boswell and on many other leading radio programs. During Les' association with these groups he gathered his own ideas on how a band should be built, plus a definite conception of the ''sound" it should make. Les started his original band in cluding Bill Finegan, Ralph Flan nagan, Nelson Riddle, with Lisa Kirk as vocalist. When he was getting the group together, Les turned down the then unknown singer, Vic Damone, who was looking for a job as a vocalist. Les still maintains that Damone Suede Jackets Expertly Done DOUGHTY Dry Cleaners Main Branch 1410 Taylor St. 0 ACT~IVA PROnDUCT twOF 2 Dance was an excellent singer even then although he wasn't experienced a the time.
