CHURSDAYli, OTOE1,~1933 THE MICHIGAN DAILY _____ 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." Convention Of Michigan King s Daughters Held The Michigan Branch of the Inter- national Order of King's Daughters and Sons opened its thirty-fifth an- nual convention yesterday afternoon with a meeting in the Grand Rapids room of the League.

Mr. Hoyer, assisted by Miss Harriet Heath and Miss Jean Pew, presented several numbers. Reta Peterson, '35, dramatic direc- tor of Camp Missaukee, directed the second act from "Hansel and Gretel." Following this a dramatization of the camp was given with Jean Botsford as the camp director.

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.
