Miss Staton, who recently made a very successful'appearance at the Miami Beach Auditorium, is coming to UM especially for the formal.
Sam Donahue with his tenor sax, will fly in from New York for the dance. A sit-in band will also be on hand to make continuous dancing possible.
The coveted Greek Week trophy will be presented to the fraternity and sorority who have totaled the most points during the week’s festivities. The Greek God and Goddess will also be honored.
Charter members for the new Greek honorary, Omega, will be tapped. Mr. Parker En wright, assistant to the dean of men and IFC adviser will name the first member at the dance, who will in turn tap the other members.
Another phase of Greek Week will get under way at 2 pm. this afternoon on the intramural field as Olympic Day begins. Chariot races will bring memories to the UM campus of the Olympic games of old. Climaxing the festivities will be the announcement of the Greek God and Goddess.

Greek week was officially ushered in at noon Monday with the lighting of the torch In front of the Student Union.
That afternoon fraternities held an open house to honor the UM faculty in hopes to help build better relationships and show the faculty something of fraternity life. The turnout was disappointingly small but everyone was pleased with those who did attend.
Tuesday a blood drive was held and points were given to those fraternities who donated to the drive. The donations will be placed on IFC reserve and will be available to any fraternity member, relative, or anyone IFC feels needs it
On Wednesday night skits were given at the Student Union by the Greeks. At this time groups of five or less gave short plays. Points toward the trophy were given to the winners.
On Tuesday afternoon the judging for the Greek God and Goddess was held in a packed lower lounge of the Student Union. Men flexed their muscles while sorority beauties posed with Grecian grace while applauding students looked on.

ported it to his academic dean who in turn referred the case to the Honor Council.
The student who did the copying received a reprimand from Noble Hendrix, dean of students. He will receive no credit for the course and a WE will be posted on his permanent record, with the notation, “Withdrawn failing as a result of disciplinary action.”
In addition, he will have consultations with the dean of students, the dean of men and a representative from the IntemaUonal Center.
The student who allowed the copying will also receive a reprimand from the dean of students, and will get a failing grade on the exam in question. He will have consultations with the deans of students and men and the International Center.
The Honor Council has the authority to impose punishments ranging from reprimand to expulsion from the University in cases involving dishonesty and student discipline.
It is composed of the president of the UC. Jim Blosser; two student representatives. Steve Slepin and
Linda Grussmark; a representative of the administration, Bryce Dunham, and a representative of the faculty, Dr. Jack Reynolds. The Dean of Studenta is an ex-officio member.
Department, however, is trying to discourage all “individual travel” in Hungary by stamping all passports “not good for travel in Hungary."
In an effort to avoid this obstacle, a representative of the touring agency conducting the trip said that it could not be considered “individual travel.”
Dr. Pearson hopes to tour the University of Moscow and to evaluate its students. As the trip is not government-sponsored, he does not expect to meet any prominent officials of the countries, but said that this is not beyond possibility.
Sightseeing tours will be conducted with English-speaking guides.
The four members of the Board of Trustees accompanying Dr. Pearson are: Jose Ferre, J. Neville MrArthur, Hugh Emerson, and Frank Smathers.
Ferre donated the money to build the Graduate School Building, while McArthur gave money to build the new Engineering building. Smathers and Emerson arc also donors to UM.
Other prominent men making the trip are: Anthony Abraham, businessman from Coral Gables; William C. Gaither, attorney and former Florida state aenator; Albert G. Hartog, attorney; George E. Holt, Circuit Judge; Earl M. Rader of Rader Engineering Co. and Thomas F. Fleming of the First Bank of Boca Raton, Florida.
The group will tour for the opportunity of seeing the situations existing in Europe, particularly those behind the Iron Curtain, said Pearson.
