Jay and (lie Americans, recipients of the Summer Stock Award for their singing and comedy ability, will appeal on the Whitten Union patio tonight, at 8 p.m.
The program, is being sponsored by USG and the Whitten Union Program council.
Formally organized in late 1961, (he group seemed to meet \\itli immediate sueeess. In the spring of IHfi2, they rut “She Cried" which, when released by United Artist-, stum climbed to number one In the country.
During the following three years they found more work coining in than they could	handle. Along with
the regular circuit of adult night clubs, television and college concert tours, they still found time to release four more big hit records including ‘ Only in America," possibly their best known hit.
On a gue-t appearance on the “Tonight" show, instead ol ] singing one of their latest hits, they sang “Cara Mia" which opened even another door for the hoys, that of the musical t hea I re.
They then accepted as both a challenge and pleasuie roles especially written for them in "Bye Bye Birdie.”
Their list of accomplishments seems endless, apd as one, of the group has said, “We still have a long way to go, but we're going to make it all the way—together."

Soft Talk Soft Sounds, And Suds...?
Quiet conversation, soft lighting, juke box playing and students drinking beer.
While this may sound like a description of the V. 1., Foxe’s or the Ale House, the Hurricane has learned this could in fact be a typical evening at the Student Union.
Unlikely as it may seem, a beer hall or "ratskeller” could become a UM reality. Union Director, Bill Sheeder, explains the space is already available in what is now a storage area under t h e Union patio. A preliminary study shows that the space could be converted for this purpose. Of course much further information would bo needed before work on the ratskeller could begin, particularly on the cost factor, said Sheeder.
Dean of Men Robert Hynes. favorable to the ratskeller idea, points out that it would be necessary to check I.D.’s allowing only those over 21 to use the fadl-ity. The Increasing number of resident and graduate students wwiM make the ratskeller an exciting addition to the Whitten Union and the ‘UM campus.
— 108; Ricardo D’Jaen 395; Randy Femmer 713; and Larry Neary 751
The balloting for the office of President were as followed: Chuck Lipcon 84; Mark Ward 94; Peter Menk 935; and Richard, the winner wit!) 902 votes.
In an interview later in the week. Dr. Thurston Adams and Hank Klein, l>oth on the Flection Board, in reviewing the election weeks said they were pleased with the election turn-out. Over 2,-200 students voted. This thr?y felt was due to the increase in competition this year.
For a look into the future to next year's election, Dr. Adams, Director of Student Activities, says that balloting will Ik* by IBM, facilitating voting in that ballot stations will he placed in a number of areas on campus.
