Boom In Bouncelantl
The nation's newest fad isn't new but rather a revival
of an old art. Trampolines, the Ixmncing cots used by circus
performers, are making acrobats out of eerlody nowadays,
and trampoline centers, like miniature golf courses and Turkish
baths, 'are opening at the rate of 10 a week throughout the
I'nited States. And like track meets, trampoline meets invite
the tatter artists.
You can buy your own trampoline for as little as $SS,
A good one is $S3. Most people
but this one is baby-sizgo to "jump centers" for their exerc ise.
Accidents happen, but at a relatively low rate, the insurance companies say. The most common mishaps involve
clothing, and trampoline operators keep a supply of safety
pins on hand to repair gills' tight pants.

The tragedy lies in the fact that 70 percent of the dropouts have at least normal IQ's, L1FK says, and the problem
remains one of the most ignored in U.S. education. Next
week will elescrilx.' a program to save them.

Subversive Activity?

LIFE travels on to more familiar territory-colle- ge
The University of California has recently seen some radical
campus activities. It seems that two new dorms have Wen
built facing each other on the llerkely campus: one for men
and one for women. While staring at each other out the
windows all evening, students have discovered new methods
of communication. They play chess. The 61 windows of the
buildings make peifect chesslxurds. Each side moves
one cardlxiard chessman a day. With this inspiration, they
have advanced to Morse code, and pizza pies reeled up to
jhe girls in laundry baskets.

For the first time (at least it's
the first I've ever heard of) they're
not only having a formal but a
dinner to boot! Not too many
groups have been known to feed
their dates a fine dinner and then
hasten digestion with the music of
the Louisville House Rockers.
Lansdowne Country Club will
feature the Kappas tonight and I
guess it's Just common knowledge
that they're having their annual
spring formal out there.
SAE's have derided it's too darned hot to go dancing so they're
entertaining at the Campbell House
pool just so they can cool off before their formal coming up next
Saturday.
And then there's Holmes Hall
open house tonight and many
elaborate plans for it. Joe Mills
and Bob Miller will be there to
entertain as well as WLEX star
Jo Haider.
The interesting thing about this
party Is that it's on the sun deck.
It's called the Bermuda Bounce.
(I Just hope that some bermudas
don't bounce completely off the
roof.)
Moving on to Saturday, there's
the annual Lambda Chi Pushcart
Derby complete with parade, queen
contest, and the race itself.
The female Jockeys as well as
their human propellers have been
racing around frantically all week
in order to get in shape for the
heats. (Where there are trophies
there's energy!)
Tomorrow afternoon from 5
Keeneland Hall is having open
house. To liven up the place, a cool
combo called Herman and the
Penguins will be on hand-o- r
foot
or whatever those things are that
penguins walk on.
Meanwhile back at Sleepy Hollow the Phi Sigs are having a
party and the costumes that
are expected to show up are supposed to be really spastic.
So let's get back to the formal
subject again and there's more
going on tonight.
Tates Creek Country Club is the
scene of the Chi Omega annual
formal and by the way this place
with its Olympic sized pool is a
perfect spot to have a hale of a
good time.
The Alpha Xi Delia rose garden

In fact they're leaving town
and traveling 'to Nature i

is meeting them there with orchestra in hand and the weekend

is moving itself out to Joyland
tomorrow for the annual Rose
Formal. Ray Rector and his orchestra will be playing from
And last but not least, the AGR's
are going all out for their formal.
