Freshmen Will Invite Animals for Weekend

The "Animals" are coming.

The five-man English singing group will give a two-hour concert on May 6 to open this year's Freshman Jubilee Weekend. The long-haired "Animals" are well-known for such recordings as House of The Rising Sun, We Gotta Get Outta This Place and Bo Diddley.

The Jubilee Committee chose "The Animals" on the basis of a poll of freshmen taken last month. Other choices offered were the "Kingsmen," the "Chad Mitchell Trio," the "Lettermen," and Stan Getz.

The "Animals" are coming to Harvard for the first time as part of their annual three week U.S. tour. Tickets for the concert will be available on March 23.

Plans for the rest of the weekend will be announced later this month.
