Counting on spacious skies and the
budding vernal equinox, the University
community plans to hold many and
varied entertainments for both students
and returning alumni in what should be an
outrageous Easter's weekend.

Here in the Charlottesville plains
under the purple majesty of the Blue
Ridge, students will be able to contemplate
the real joys of spring weather
to the sweet melodies of the Grand Funk
Railroad, Sweetwater and the Joyous Garde.
The concert will be sponsored by the P
German Dance Society in University Hall at
7:30 p.m. Friday.

The following night, Saturday, couples will
begin arriving at the Easter's dance at 8:30 in
the Memorial Gymnasium to enjoy continuous
drinking and dancing. PK German Dance
Society for the first time has obtained a bee
license for the ball, and only requests that
couples bring identification of age and enrollment
at the University. The music will feature
Liquid Smoke and Wildfire with of course, a
heavy light show.

Returning alumni have many gala functions
to attend as the University presents its annual
Alumni Day Weekend. Highlighting the activities
Saturday will be the 17th annual
varsity alumni spring football game beginning at
2 p.m. in Scott Stadium. More than seventy
members of past University football teams will
join the fourth-year men from the 1969-70
team in a match against next year's varsity.

Alumni activities on Friday will include the
annual reception and banquet of the Jefferson
Society of Alumni at 6:30 in the Bursar's Head
Inn. The Alumni will also present the
University with a portrait of the late Gus
Tebell, University Director of Athletics from
1951 to 1962 at the Colonnade Club at 4:30.

Edgar Shannon will present his annual
report to the alumni at Saturday's luncheon
meeting of the Alumni Association. At this
time the Alumni Association will announce the
winners of the Distinguished Professor and
Distinguished Student award.

Other events around the grounds that will
cause both generations of domestics during the
aster's festivities include a wide range of
spring sport matches.

At 2:30 Friday the University tennis team
will play Virginia Polytechnic Institute on Lady
Astor Courts. The matches will begin one hour
after the track team meets the University of
Richmond on Lambeth Field.

Saturday University teams will meet the
University of South Carolina in a baseball game
at 10 a.m. at Lambeth Field and Johns Hopkins
University in lacrosse at 10:30 at the University
Hall lacrosse field.

The University Polo team will face the Yale
University team at 2:30 Sunday on the
Farmington Hunt Club.

The Virginia Players' production of Robert
Anderson's "You Know I Can't Hear You When
The Water's Running" and some individual
open houses, exhibits, and class reunions will
complete the selection of activities open to past
and present members of the Jefferson elite.
