Algyer announced that Michigan's
overworked and underpaid Varsity
Band will be on hand prepared to
do or die. The Glee club likewise
will have some organized efforts at
on-key renditions of popular col-
blege tunes to add to the evening's
hilarity.
Lawton To Officiate
"Uncle Bob" Campbell, official
hoarder of the University's
sheckels, whose approbation of the
Bounce idea knows no bounds, has
consented to open the ceremonies
with as short a speech as possible
explaining the purpose of the event
and introducing Fred Lawton, '11,
Detroit, who composed the tune for
"Varsity."
Fred will then take over the mas-
tership of ceremonies, have words
thrown on the screen, and start off
the various tune-producing units
on their mad courses. Somewhere
on the program space will also be
found for a word or two, probably
two, from Director Fielding H. Yost,
grand old man of Michigan foot-
ball.
Reif Finds Site
T. Hawley Tapping, alumni see-
retary,. and movie magnate, has
promised to give the latest reels of
the campus cinema their first Ann
Arbor screening as a feature of the
big Bounce. For sheer comedy,
human interest, and these, them,
and those, according to Tapping,
these reels make all previous in-
stallments look like scratching a
match at an eruption of Vesuvius.
Councilman Ernest C. Reif, '30,
spring games superintendent came
to the rescue of Michigan tradition
at the council meeting with the
announcement that he had located
a place on the Huron river just
south of the Wall street bridge
where the tug-of-war could be
fought. The site is approximately
200 yards upstream from the tradi-
tional scene of the freshman-soph-
omore struggle to evade a ducking,
and provides an excellent vantage
point for spectators on the Wall
street bridge.
