S1935 ETHE MICHIGAN DAILY FAE PaV ,E wo Atractions Are Announced For Frosh Project Russ Lyons' Orchestra To Play; Old Heidelberg Theme Of Decorati is Russ Lyons and his orchestra have been selected to play for the Mardi Gras ball to be given from 9 to 1 a.m., May 3, by the freshmen women in the League, as their annual freshman project. Lyons will come here directly from the Claridge in Memphis, Tenn. Previous to his engagement at the Claridge, Lyons completed a sccessful season at the Oriole Terrace in De- trit. Lyons, who is a graduate of Ohio University, has played in various or- chestras. With his own orchestra he has played at the Mayfair in Cleve- land, and broadcasted frequently over Station WTAM. Lyons is only one of the many attractions being planned by the proj- ect committees. Unusual decorations to fit in with the spirit of the Mardi Gras will transform the League ball- room into a splendour of color. En- tertainment by the tap and tango choruses, features by the freshmen trio, and solo numbers will be a part of the program. Contrary to previous announce- ments, the entire Mardi Gras will take place in the evening, instead of both afternoon and evening. The Grill of; the League will be transformed into Old Heidelberg and music will also be featured there. The main event of. the evening will be the coronation of the May Queen,, a senior woman. The identity of the, successful caididate will be kept sec- ret until she is selected from among the dancers at the Mardi Gras. Vot- ing for the women who have been nominated will begin Tuesday when. the first ballot will appear in The Daily. Students are reminded that nominations for these candidates must be in before Monday noon. Any stu- dent may nominate a senior woman by handing in the name of that senior to Miss Ethel McCormick at the League or Theresa Swab at The Daily.

Easter Season In Jerusalem Is, Pictured By Prof. Waterman By JEWEL WUERFEL Easter in Jerusalem is not just one day as here but a season during which religious ceremonies of three faiths, Jewish, Moslem and Christian, take place, according to Prof. Leroy Waterman, head of the department of Oriental languages and literature. During the course of a month the Jewish feast of the Passover is ob- served, Arabs hold their annual Mos- lem pilgrimage to Nebi Musa, and at least four different Easter days are observed by various denomina- tions among the Christians. The Moslem pilgrimage to Nebi Musa, which is the name of the sup- posed burial place of Moses, a proh- phet in Islam as well as Christianity, originally had very little religious significance. When the Turks al- lowed Christians to enter Jerusalem, the Sultan felt the need of a gather- ing of Arabs to conteract the large number of pilgrims who flocked to1 the Holy City during the Easter per- iod. The Nebi Musa pilgrimage was the result. The ceremony of Nebi Musa is a wild and picturesque affair. Arabs from all the neighboring villages gather in Jerusalem where a large procession is formed which slowly winds through the city to the desert. Each village group has a leader who calls out spontaneous poetic utteranc- es which are repeated by the group. Spasmodically throughout the march the participants dance madly slash- ing themselves with knives. Of all the Easter services of the Christians, that of the appearance of the Holy Fire held by the Greek Or- thodox Church in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher is the most colorful and spectacular. Outsiders must secure permits from the British Counsel to be admit- ted to the church to view the event. Crowds throng the church and court outsida, some even spencling the' night in the church to be sure of a good place. The ceremony consists of the Or- thodox Patriarch entering the edicule enclosing the tomb where it is be- lieved he receives the Holy Fire through prayer. The moment the flame is received the crowd surges forward and the many candles are lit at the fire. On Maundy Thursday the feat of brilliantly robed priests impersonat- ing the disciples are washed by the patriarch and on the Roman Catholic Good Friday the Russian Catholic Church holds a procession along the Via Dolaroas symbolizing Christ car- rying the cross along the Via Dolor- '-osa. For the duration of the month at Easter time a one week visit is sure to include at least one procession or ceremony of a religious nature. Name Winner Of Design Contest For Costume Ball Ralph Gustafson, '36A, was selected as the winner of the design contest to be used as the theme of the Archi- tects' Costume Ball, to be held Fri- day, May 10, it was announced yester- day by George Navorec, '35A, public- ity chairman. The theme of the win- ning design was a series of comic strip characters enrolled in the de- partments of the school of architec- ture. The 60 entries in the contest were judged by a student board of six members of the school of architecture, Prof. Jean Hebrard, and Prof. Roger Bailey. ZETA PSI The alumni of Zeta Psi fraternity will entertain the active chapter at their annual spring banquet in De- troit today.
