Tal Henry's Band To Play;
Decorations To Combine
Many Novel Features
Great interest in the Caduceus
Dance, an innovation planned espe-
cially for medical students, instruc-
tors, and faculty, is being evidenced,
judging from the advance sale of
tickets.
Originated this year in response to
the demand for an all-medical dance,
several novel features are included in
the plans, according to committee
members. The party will be held from
9:30 p. m. to 2 a. m. Wednesday in
the League Ballroom, with Tal Henry
and his Carolinians furnishing the
music. Henry has appeared at the
Hotel New Yorker and over the NBC
network.
Decorations which will be one of
the events of the evening have been
promised by those in charge. They
are saving their exact nature for a
surprise, but it was disclosed that
they will be in keeping with the gen-
eral theme and purpose of the dance.
Members of the committee in
charge of the arrangements for the
party are as follows: Clifford Keene,
'34M, general chairman; Samuel A.
Fiegel, '34M, assistant chairman;
Meyer Teitlebaum, '34M! John Rowe,
'34M; Joseph Witter, '34M; Fran}k
King, '34M; and George Hays, '34M.
Tickets priced at $2, may be obtained
from any member of the committee
or at the office of Dr. Albert C. Ker-
likowske in University Hospital.

Sinai To epcwt On
cur p~jQrpwy
Dr. Nathan Sinai of the Medical
School returned recently from Lo-
don and Paris, where he studied de-
velopments of the past three years
in the British and French systems
of health insurance. The trip, an
which Dr. Sinai was accompanied by
Dr. H. A. Luce, of Detroit, was made
under the auspices of the ican
State Medical cety sawd1 th Amer-

ican College of Dentists.
In 1931 Dr. Sinai also traveled to
Europe to investigatehdiferent coun-
tries' plans of health insurance. At
that time he visited England, Ger-
many, France, Czechoslovakia, Au-
seria, Denmark, and Belgium in the
course of his study. A report of his
present investigation is now being
prepared and will be presented on
its completion before the organiza-
tions which sponsored the study.

Delta Gamma led the list of so-
rorities, dormitories, and I e a g u e
houses in the final computation of
points on the League activity chart.
Although no effort was made to di-
vide the number of activity points
by the number of residents of any
house, several of the largest of the
women's residences fell the lowest in
points.
The chart, which is about twenty
by eight feet in size, was placed out-
side of the student offices in the
League early in the term by the ef-
forts of Miss Ethel McCormick, so-
cial director of the League. The rec-
ord, which has been kept by a spe-
cial committee headed by Hilda Kir-
by, '35, covers the points received by
the various houses from the begin-
ning of the semester through Feb. 1.
Points were awarded for drama-
tics, under which Play Production,
and Children's Theater, are listed.
Junior Girls Play has a column of
its own. Honorary societies such as.
Wyvern. Senior Society, and Mor-
tarboard: League activities; publica-
tions, including The Daily, 'Ensian,
and the Gargoyle; speech activities
including Zeta Phi Eta., Athena, and
women's debating are all given their
place. Tryiouts were given some form
of recognition no matter whether
they made the thing that they tried
Bright Shades ,n
New Crn14tnntions
All winter there has been a need
for bits of color to brighten up the
very gloomy atmosphere and now
suddenly with the approach of spring
there comes a veritable burst of
bright shades which fairly dazzles the
fashion world.
They are not merely bright but
positively riotous and the color com-
binations achieved might well cause
the more conservative designers of
an earlier generation to turn over in
their graves. In fact, they have come
very near to proving a severe shock
to some of us, daring as we of the
younger generation are supposed to
be and hardened as we have become1
to all sorts of striking innovations in
the realm of fashion.
These exotic color schemes have
proven very popular on campus, espe-
cially in combinations of unusual
prints. The jacket frock seems to be1
the approved style for these mate-3
rials.]
One of the most striking of these
dresses seen on campus consisted of
a dark skirt combined with a bright
green print blouse and with a brightI
red print jacket. Another costume
added to the bewildering effect by
combining polka dats with a strikingl
color scheme nf brown and green
in the popular jatket style.
The jackets of t lese frocks are for
the most part sho:t and gathered in
tightly at the waist, with the color of
the under blouse coming over it so
that the colors cannot by any chance
escape notice.

for or not. Attendance at teas is
also accorded recognition. Glee Club
had its place on the chart. In fact,
all activities are given due credit.
Many houses were given negative
points for absence from the Board of
Representatives meetings. Only one
League house, Bannasch, had affirm-
ative credits to their name.
Pi Beta Phi followed Delta Gam-
ma, with 147. score, Gamma Phi
Beta was next with 95 points, and
Kappa Kappa Gamma close to them
with 89. Alpha Chi Omega with 78
and Sorosis with 77 were close rivals.
Scores ranging from 64 to 40 were
received by Martha Cook, A 1 p h a
Omicron Pi, Jordan, Theta Phi Al-
pha, Alpha Xi Delta, Kappa Delta,
Chi Omega, Kappa Alpha Theta, and
Alpha Phi. Other scores ranging
from 37 to 5 were received by various
houses in the following order:
Mosher, Delta Delta Delta, Betsy
Barbour, Helen Newberry, Zeta Tau
AlphaPhi Sigma Sigma, Alpha Del-
ta Phi, Alpha Gamma Delta, Adelia
Cheever, Delta Zeta, Bannasch, Al-
pha Epsilon Phi, and Sigma Kappa.
This account takes into considera-
tion only the number of points re-
ceived, and does not attempt to com-
pute the scores on a percentage ba-
sis for the number of people livingf
in the houses.

New Play Calls
For Use Of Six
Native Tongues
'See Naples And Die,' By
Rice, To Be Presented
This Week-End
Voices shouting in a variety of
tongues, racing automobiles, and gun-
shots, are a few of the unique sound
effects which are required for "See
Naples and Die," by Elmer Rice,
which will be given this week-end,
Feb. 22, 23, and 24, by Play Produc-
tion.
In common with all of Rice's plays,
"See Naples And Die" involves a
large variety of characters meeting in
a unique setting. In this case a cos-
mopolitan group gathers in a hotel
terrace overlooking the Bay of
Naples. Thus, instead of having char-
acters who speak English only, "See
Naples and Die" requires the use of
Russian, German, French, Italian.
Swedish, and English.
Another unusual feature of the
play is that the action is continuous,
each act picking up the action where
one has left it, although each ends
with high dramatic interest. Thus the
[stage time is exactly the same time
that the plot actually covers.
Elmer Rice, known for his Pulitzer
Prize play, "Street Scene," and for
I "Counselor-at-Law," is one of the
most versatile of modern American
playwrights. His plays vary from the
character analysis type of "Street
Scene" to the propaganda type ex-
emplified by "We the People," while
"See Naples and Die" is unique for
its highly farcical attitude.
Play Production has given particu-
lar attention in producing "See
Naples and Die" to bringing out all
of the farcical qualities giving rise
to the highly ludicrous situations,
which are most unexpectedly un-
raveled. The box office at Lydia Men-
delssohn Theatre will be open after
10 a. m. all this week.
League Holds
Year's Second
University Tea
Steinle Will Play For Af-
fair Friday; Girls' Glee
Club Will Entertain
The second of the League teas for
this year will be held Friday, accord-
ing to Julie Kane, '36, social chair-
man of the League.
Music for the dancing, which will
be continuous from 4 to 6 p. m. will
be furnished by Bob Steinle, Union
orchestra leader. The University
Women's Glee Club Q entertain
with several song selections. This
group is under the direction of Max-
ine Maynard, '35, president.
Miss Kane urged that all women
attend the tea. It is free to all women
and is a regular League activity for
the purpose of acquainting the stu-
dents with each other. For this rea-
son, not only upperclassmen but stu-
dents new on campus are especially
invited.
Sororities, dormitories, and League
houses will be given League point
on the activity chart in proportio
to the number of women attending
from their houses.

usual, the program will consist
numbers by talented students.

"Cathedral Window" was the
theme of the initiation uanquet givenl

in the vicinity of the campus and
received a great deal of attention
yesterday.
The photographs illustrate parts
of the more recent Operas, as "Cot-
ton Stockings," in 1923: "Tambour-
ine," in 1925; and "Merrie-Go-
Round," in 1929; as well as some ofa
the earliest ones, including "The
Crimson Chest," in 1910; "Contrarie
Mary, " in 1913; and "All That Glit-
ters," the 1915 presentation.
Most of the scenes show chorus'
groups in full costume, and in some
cases it is difficult to determine
whether the chorines are actually
men students or co-eds. The costumes
which they wore in these productions
were ultra-feminine and complete
even to spun glass wigs. One identify-
ing feature that it was impossible to
conceal however, is the extent of°
some of the "chorus girls' " feet.
However, the photographs have at-
tracted a good deal of attention and
Opera officials intend that present
students shall realize exactly what
the opera used to mean here, and
is going to mean again.
Chorus Parts Of Music
Drama Courses Open
Students not regularly enrolled
in the music drama course given
by the speech department will be

director of Play Production, at 2

Saturday night found a carefree
crowd starting the new semester by
dancing at the League. Gowns were
for the most part very informal and
the whole atmosphere of the place
was that of easy gaiety.
Various shades of red were pop-
ular, ranging from the maroon velvet
worn by Peggy Willis to the bright -
flame shade chosen by Catherine
Thompson. eTiety Siclair wore wine
crepe trimmed with wine velvet at
the neck and sleeves and Betty Lit-
tle's pale blue afternoon dress fea-
tured a cleverly-draped neckline. I
The new spring fashions were fore-
cast by Dorothy Dawes' blue print
frock accented with white, and white
collars and cuffs trimmed the simple
brown dress worn by Helen Schmidt.
Hannah Kaplan used white lace to
lighten her black velvet gown.
The physical education department
was well represented by the Nfisses
Dorothy Beise, Marie Hartwig, and}
Emily White. Miss Beise and Miss
White both chose pink and black
combinations, the former with pink
organdy trim, the latter with the
same color scheme carried out in
pink chiffon. Miss White's gown was
of a deep blue.
Margaret Robb was attractive in
an eel gray gown with unusual metal
trim. Dorothy Wikel chose a simple
style of dance dress in wine velvet.
