The Leverett House Arts Festival opened yesterday under a skeleton of geodesic dome it had erected in former years; something went wrong, and instead of the planned lofty vault, a series of arches appeared.

Master Conway awarded the prizes around a table cluttered with sherry glasses and a piece of modernistic sculpture (some film canisters in a glass-sided box--it did not win). Art and sculpture took 90 per cent of the prizes, despite the fact that more than one-third of the entries were photographs.

The exhibits, which are also placed in G-Tower and Old Library, will be open for the rest of the week, and there will be a woodwind quintet concert this Sunday. First-prize winner was Anne Lilley Kerr '63, with a painting entitled "Dance." Second-prize winners were Laura McDill '64 and David Stein '64, Tony Poze '65, and Daniel del solar '63 were the third-prize winners.
