CORONATION SETTINGS WILL DECORATE UNION IN FRESHMAN JUBILEE

TICKET PRICES RISE FRIDAY BY ONE DOLLAR

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

In an attempt to create realistic reproductions of English life and the recent Coronation, the committee in charge of the Freshman Jubilee, known this year as the Coronation Ball, are planning extensive decorations which wil adorn the Union on Friday evening, May 28.

In the large dining room the patronesses will receive before a throne which is to be an exact copy of the one used in the Coronation. The purple ermine robe and the gold scepter, symbols of the British Empire, will decorate the throne, and above it will hang a canopy and a large replica of the British coat of arms.

The rotunda will be converted into an English Garden flanked by high walls, green benches, white statuary, and cypress trees. In the center will stand a fountain.

The end dining room will imitate an English tap-room and baronial hunting lodge. During supper a singer in the red-coated uniform of a master of the hounds will be accompanied at the piano by a girl dressed as a barmaid.

Freshmen are reminded that tickets for the Jubilee increase one dollar for stag and couple starting Friday. They are now $3.50 stag and $4.50 a couple.
