THE   BROTHERS   FOUR

acted out  by   members  of
Iponsoring clubs and climaxed
Pe appearance of their  res-
jve girls.
p Newmans brought an Eng-
I expedition   to   the   stage   in
of the fabled  Himalayan
"an. Their candidate, Yvon-
der,  used   her   charm   to
let the wily snowman to the
IP for scientific purposes.
J°Hege stereotypes constituted

were   typical    girls    seen
|d   RJC:    the    athletically
pd female, the college tweed,
Ry siren, the working  girl,
par's co-ed with   long  skirt,
fV sox, and saddle shoes, the
intellectual   with    long    hair
flights, the  actress,  and   the
rPhile type.    Each   was   in-
fed by Ann Morrison.   Then,
tenting  the  all-around   cols'1'1,  candidate   Linda   Rise
[Presented.    The   stereotypes
pd a letter of her name on
backs and turned around to
spell her name across the stage.
A burlesque of ancient Rome
mixed with the 20th century was
the theme of the LSA skit. Candidate Nancy Fiksdal came down
the aisle and mounted the stage
with two ladies of her court, Barb
Hanson and Judy Earney. Two
chariots came racing in from the
sidelines, the charioteers being
Bob Hanson and Larry Nelson
driving horses Bruce Cranston
and John Mickelson. They collided, as one went through a red
light, giving grounds for a good

"Greenfields" Hit Record
Popular Folk Singers Present
Two-Hour Ballad Sing Feb. 6
RJC is to have some big-time
entertainment for Sno-Week. On
the 6th of February the BROTHERS
FOUR will give a 2-hour concert
at Central Auditorium.
THE BROTHERS FOUR met as
fraternity brothers (Phi Gamma
Delta) and discovered they had a
mutual love for music and singing.
They found out also that they
could take old folk songs and
make them new by adding lyrics
and tinkering with the melodies.
They began to play at parties for
kicks, were discovered by Mort
Lewis, their manager and began
a rocket rise to the top.
They have been in orbit around
the college campuses of this country    and    Canada    for   the    last
couple of years and, if anything
are gaining speed and altitude.
They are being tapped for more
and more network TV work and
their records, beginning with
"Greenfields" — which was number one on the national list —
have achieved tremendous popularity.
Pretty good going for four
young men all in their early 20's.
They are Messrs Mike Kirkland,
Bob Flick, Dick Foley and John
Paine. When they float a folk
song out at you they can make
you cry a little and laugh a lot.
They do all their own arranging.
Yet, none had a formal musical
education.   None can read music.

Last Three Chosen —
Ten Seek: Queen's Title
Three other candidates have
been selected to run for the title
of Sno-Queen.
YWCA candidate, Linda Rise, is
a brown-haired, blue-eyed freshman, a Rochester resident and
graduate of John Marshall. She
is enrolled in a pre-education
course of study. She also finds
time for activities which include
choir, LSA, and YWCA. She enjoys swimming, water skiing, and
ice skating. When she is alone
she plays the piano, though she
admits she is no accomplished
piartist. Linda's favorite pastimes
are reading and listening to both
popular and classical records.
Hailing from Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, Karen Bergquist is a tall,
blonde-haired and blue-eyed
freshman who is taking a pre-
education   course.   Karen,   publi
cations candidate for queen, is
active in LSA, and serves on the
Rajuco and Echo staffs. She is an
avid bowler and is fond of sewing, tennnis, dancing, swimming,
and water skiing.
The Newman Club chose as ifs
Sno-Queen candidate, Yvonne
Roeder, a freshman enrolled in
Pre-Education.
Yvonne participates in many
activities. She is vice-president of
the freshman class, a member of
the Newman Club and is on
the staff of both the Echo and the
Rajuco. She has also many interests outside of school. Cooking,
sewing, reading, skating, and
tennis are only a few of these.
Her special interest in the piano
has become more than a hobby.
Yvonne is an instructor at the
Marguerite Hoffman Studios.
New Faces Appear
At Ye Olde Tastee
The Tastee Shop, known to
RJC students merely as the "Tastee," has new owners. They are
Mr. and Mrs. Russell Carroll, who
for the past six years owned and
operated the Markay Dining
Room, and Carroll's White House
in Oronoco, previous to that. Before becoming a cook, Mr. Carroll
was an X-ray technician for twenty-three years.
Mrs. Carroll is a graduate of
RJC, as is their son, Jim, who married another '58 graduate of RJC,
Kay Giese.
Mr. and Mrs. Carroll have three
other children: two married
daughters, Suzanne and Nancy;
and Janet, a student at Northrup.
IBM Places
Technicians
During the sophomore year of
the technical engineering program, students are placed with
an employer where, under the
direct supervision of an engineer
for approximately 15 hours a
week, they receive nominal hourly
wage.
This year for the first time two
students enrolled in technical engineering were selected for this
program by I.B.M. Gordon West-
phal was selected for training in
the Drafting and Design Department at I.B.M. and his supervisor
is Mr. Siliby. Tom Ferguson was
selected by the Material and
Metalurgy Laboratory, and is
training under the supervision of
Mr. Curry. Four other trainees
are: Steve Molstead — at Olmsted
County Highway Department; Robert Ellinger — at the Rochester
Electric Light Department; Jerry
Vroman — at Briese Steel Company, and Joe Kocer — at KM
McGhie Engineering Company.
Mr. Lavine sums up the need
for enginers in this general statement: "State and National reports
indicate a tremendous need for
the technologists in all engineering areas. As Rochester continues
to grow as a Medical and Industrial City, the local need will be
even greater than at present."
The remaining three candidates
for Sno-Queen are from left to

Club; and Karen Bergquist, Publications.
