Councilman Durwin Algyer, '29, committee of one to stage the big May Day Bounce for the advancement of Michigan- musical loe, reported that all was in readiness for a snappy 45 minutes of gratuitous entertainment. Students, faculty, and townspeo- pie with the possible exception of very smallhbabiesiare all cordially invited to assemble in Hill audi- torium at 7:30 o'clock sharp and join in the singing fi'ee of charge. To supplement the voices and other singing apparati in the auditorium 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. Cap Night Date Set Cap ight, the customary occa- sion for first year men to cremate their pots, will be celebrated May 17 as originally planned, according to Councilman Jennings McBride, '30, student council chairman of the event Last week it was ten- tatively announced for May 11 to enable the baseball team, many of whom are due to receive "M" blankets on this occasion, to be present, but word has been received from Senator Royal S. Copeland, '89, that he could not speak on the 'earlier date, Members of the freshman Cap Night committee have visited Ann Arbor merchants during the past week collecting promises of com- bustibles with which to erect the mammoth bonfire in Sleepy Hollow which will consume their badges of verdancy.
