DanceFriday
Decorations for the annual Union
Christmas dance to be held from 9
p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday night in the'
Union ball room are almost completed
it was announced last night by Union
officials.
Dick Fidler and his 10-piece or-

prevail, it was stated.
In sponsoring Dick Fidler and his
band the Union is inaugurating a new
policy of "offering to the students
the better orchestras that they have
expressed a desire to have appear
here." This is the first dance that
an outside band has been brought in
and if the policy is "'adequately sup-
ported" it will be continued during
the remainder of the school year, offi-
cials stated.
By ROBERTA J. MELIN
The traditional Sophomore Cab-
aret, which is to be held both in the
afternoon and evening tomorrow and
Saturday in the ballroom of the
League, is ready to start off with a
bang, judging from the first dress re-
hearsal held yesterday afternoon.
The entire staff, including the cen-
tral committee and the women in the
program have already boarded the
Sophomore Special and steamed off
on the way for a smashing success.
Stream-Lined Train
One of the main features of the
program will be a modern stream-
lined train which will make its way
around the floor of the ballroom twice
during the course of the floor show.
It has been announced by Jean Mc-
Conkey, '38, chairman of the decora-
tion committee, that by Friday the
train will appear with a chrome finish
and all the trimmings, but spectators
yesterday were surprised to see only
a wooden framework wheeled onto
the floor within which the sophomore
women, who will act as passengers,
were standing.
Betty Whitney, chairman of the
music committee, and Marlene Fin-
gere were walking side by side at the
head of the group, singing with all
their might, and Adeline Singleton,
Frances Everhardt, and Margaret
Curry followed close behind with the
rest.
Tap Numbers Featured
After the train has pulled up to
the station at the left of the or-
