'To-ga' cries enliven KU bashes
Staff Renarter
By PATNEEDHAM
With siths of "To-oga To-ga!" KU party-goers have joined thousands of students in a fad that has swept the country following the release, of National Lampoon's "Animal House."
About 10,000 students at the University of Wisconsin at Madison dressed in bed sheets this weekend and participated in the anion's largest toga party.
At Oliver's toga party, Friday night, free beer flowed. The party reached its peak when about 250 toga-clad revelers had gathered.
The two largest bashes so far at KU were held at Oliver and Hashinger halls, but smaller parties have been held at Pearson and Cormier wings of McColum and Ellsworth halls.
"We've been planning this thing for a month and now that it's actually here, it's a rush." Ciffrather Riffman sophomore and head of Oliver's social committee, said Friday.
Head gear ranged from Roman head bands, made from greenery taken from the nearest bush or houseplant, to ten gallon cowboy hats and propeller beanies.
MOST TOGAS were made from bed
blankets and beddrages
Footwear was mostly sandals, but included cowboy boots and athletic shoes.
An attempt had been made to duplicate "Animal House" decorations, such as a mermaid with goldfish-bowl breasts and doors labeled "Sexroom."
The music, provided by a disc jockey, was mostly in the disco beat, but was laced with songs from "Animal House" and rock 'n' rock 1960s dancehall and 1980s, such as "Sharma-lama-dmna-dmna."

Susan Acardi, Llena freshman, said, "I think it's great, it it's the epitome of college work."
Students said that they had never heard of
Hashinger's Saturday night version of the toga party was smaller than Oliver's.
toga parties before seeing the one in 1905, called for the late 1900s and early 1910s.
Red, blue and yellow lights along with candles created a mellow atmosphere for toga partying. Roman-style paper columns and a Roman emperor's "Orgy platform" were some of Hashinger's ideas for its toga party decorations.
HASHINGER'S residents had elected an emperor about a week before to preside over the bash. He was carried into the party on the shoulders of two bodyguards to cries and "too" and "To-ga." Later in the evening he willed to be assassinated by jealous partners.
Hashinger's 150 party-goers wore exotic and varied costumes. They included a tuxedo-toga, with a black tie and tail, a full-dress Roman centurion, a Raggedy-Andy hat, a silver brooch, and even a silver mylar tga that cracked and snapped while its wearer danced.

M meetings between athletic department officials are stepping up, but a decision on a merger between the men's and women's athletic departments still has not been
Sports merger awaits decision
"I think we're moving closer to a decision," Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, said yesterday. "But there will be three ways. The first is the three of us before anything is decided."
"We're starting to get into the options," Shankel said. "Right now we're trying to identify what kind of structure we could be merged and what kind of structure we could have. We are also looking at other institutions to try to develop a careful plan that we will work for
Shankel met Friday with Bob Marcum, men's athletic director, and Marian Washington, women's athletic director, in the second of a number of administrative meetings to discuss the merger. The three will meet again today.
MARCUM SAID, "There are just so many things that have to be worked out. We haven't got about budgets or other major issues and it's going to be a very important part of it."
Washington could not be reached for comment last night.
Shankel said that Washington had examined the merged programs at the University of Nebraska and that Marcus had provided information about the current merger at Iowa State University, where he was formerly assistant athletic director.
KU is the only big Eight school that has separate athletic programs. Iowa State is in the East.
Shankel said the ideas presented atriday's meeting had been-received by the team.
MARCUM ALSO was optimistic that the final proposal would be accepted.
"I think it will be one that people will be pleased with," he said. "There will be a lot of joy."
The proposal, when completed, will be subject to the approval of Archichor Act II.
"We are supposed to come with a plan
the three of us feel that we can
recruit."
