_____ CAMPUS SCIT

Bernie Cumnl'ins and his New
Yorkers was announced yesterday as
the orchestra which will play for the
annual Union Formal, to be held the
night of Nov. 17 in the Union ball-
room.
Tickets, to be priced at $2.50, will
be placed on sale within the next
few days at the Union main desk and
through all members of the execu-
tive council and committeemen, ac-
cording to Robert A. Saltzstein, '34,
president. Geieral planning of the
party will be under the direction of
James Wallace, '35, and Richard
Shoupe, '35, members of the execu-
tive council assigned to the dance
committee.
The orchestra, which is one of the
best known in this section of the
country, and boasts as well an en-
viable national reputation, will bring
{ 13 men to Ann Arbor, according to
officials. It was also indicated that
the retinue will include a number of
singers and entertainers. Hours for
the party were announced as from
9:30 p. m. to 2 a. m.
Both the Union tower and the
Taproom will be open for the dance
and special late permission will be
granted to women students who at-
tend.
"To be able to offer an orchestra
such as Bernie Cummins for four
and one-half hours at this price is
an achievement that students will
not find duplicated for some time to
come," Shoupe said yesterday. "We
are aiming to make this Union For-
mal even better than those that have
preceded it and are including in our
plans the limiting of ticket sales so
the ballroom will not be over-
crowded."

a grand opening is being held to-
night. Dancing to Al Cowan's or-
chestra will begin at 8 p. m. and
last "until the guests go home," Grace
Mayer, '34, president, said last night.
New decorations and lighting ef-
fects will be the main features of the
event. Modernistic screens will divide
the east and west ends of the room.
The screens, designed and painted by
Miss Dorothy White, assisted by Ma-
son Whitney, '34A, are done on a
black background and outlined in
gold. Conventional designs in intense
colors of Chinese reds, jade green and
blues are carried out in studies of
three forms, water scenes, and exotic
flower designs. White forms an effec-
tive contrast to the vivid coloring.
Novel lighting devices make it pos-
sible for the west end of the room
to be entirely unlighted except fora
the reflections from the footlights at
the base of the screens. At the east
end the tables will be lighted by
candles. Flowers and ferns will dec-
orate the room further.
Flood lights on the lawn will be
turned on the windows of the grill.
This is being done so that students
will know that when the flood lights
are on there is dancing in the grill,
according to Miss Ethel McCormick,
social director of the League.
As a special feature tonight, loud
speakers placed at the windows will
carry the music out to the streets.
Miss Mayer emphasized the fact that
dancing will be a regular feature on
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday
nights.

ton, '34, vice-president, and Marie
Prahl, '34, treasurer.
