[LLIN] ARRANGE ANNUAL CIRCUS Interscholastic Carnival Be- gins May 15 University of Illinois students are working like beavers to prepare for the annual circus which is the climax of interscholastic, May 15 and 16. The traditional student entertainment will be staged Saturday night, May 15, with about 750 performers. This year it will be presented in the memorial stadium which will be an appropriate setting and also will for the first time provide seats for all who wish to see the student acrobats, clowns and other entertainers. The interscholastic circus is a com- bination of "straight" stunts, such as trapeze and acrobatic performances, which rival those of professionals, and amusing, humorous "takeoffs." The foibles of national and student life come in for satire in burlesque acts put on by numerous student organiza- tions. An unusually elaborate fire- works display is planned this year. Two big bands provide sure-enough circus music. The interscholastic athletic carnival opens Friday afternoon, May 15, with the Notre Dame baseball game. On Saturday morning, the interscholastic track and field meet and the Michigan- Illinois dual track meet will be held on the new stadium track. On Satur- day atfernoon Illinois and Ohio will play baseball. The seating capacity on Iliinois field, which remains as baseball headquar- ters, has been increased by the con- version of the old football stands and the Illini expect to be able to take care of 10,000 fans without trouble. The interscholastic ball games have at- tracted just about this many in the past. On May 2 Illinois meets Notre Dame in track and on May 9 Purdue in base= 1 ball.
