'Mr. Jefferson's Party'

These students will be designated "Mr." or
"Miss" according to the University's tradition
of address. Each individual recognized will step
forward and shake hands with University
President Edgar F. Shannon.

"Mr. Jefferson's Birthday Party," sponsored
jointly by the Student Council and the Public
Occasions Committee, will be held at 5 p.m. in
Alumni Hall. It will be "a get-together of
students and faculty," commented Mr. Moore.
The party, being organized by the Council's
Founder's Day representative, Nancy Crawford,
will be hosted by Mr. And Mrs. Shannon and
will feature a huge birthday cake to be cut by
Mrs. Shannon.

On Tuesday night, Council will present a
lecture by Charles Whitebread, professor in the
Law School. The subject of his talk, to be given
in Cabell Hall, will be "Mr. Jefferson's Legacy."

Council is sponsoring several other events
for the week of Founders Day. A film festival
will be held on Wednesday, April 15 in
Newcomb Hall. "Blow-up" will be shown from
2 to 4 p.m., "The Dirty Dozen" from 7 to 9
p.m., and "Barefoot in the Park" from 9 to 11
p.m.

On Thursday from 2 to 5 p.m. an open air
concert will be held between Life and Maupin
Houses. Although these Council-sponsored
activities are not an official part of the
Founder's Day celebration, they will serve as a
"hyphen between Founder's Day and Easter's
Weekend," remarked Mr. Moore. Students will
be able to celebrate Mr. Jefferson's Birthday
and the arrival of spring from the end of spring
break through the Big Weekend.
