Non-Affiliated Women The last meeting will be held for activities limited to non-affiliated women, including discussions of the Assembly. Mary Andrew and -Gret- chen Lehmann will be in charge. This series of luncheons which will be held every Tuesday and Thursday for the next three weeks is to enable freshmen women to learn the fields of the different activities and to help them to determine which ones they are especially interested in entering. The meetings will be informal so that any questions may be asked. All freshmen women are urged to attend as many of the luncheons they are interested in, according to Miss Pierce, president. Afternoon Tea Is Given For Mrs. Hosmer A tea was given from 4 to 6 p.m. yesterday in the League by Mrs. Eliz- abeth M. Cunningham honoring Mrs. John Alden Hosmer, the former Alice C. Cleveland.

New Evening Frock Uses Black Velvet Trim Watkins' Band To Be Starred At Union Dance Outstanding Orchestra Is To Play Here Often; No Price Increase Sammy Watkins and his National Broadcasting Orchestra will be fea- tured at the regular Union dance to be held from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Jan. 17 in the "Rainbow Room" at the Union. Watkins and his band in the past few years have become very well known and have played in New York, Detroit, Chicago, Pittsburgh and in many night clubs, hotels and summer resorts throughout the country. They have been especially popular in the Middle-West. Union officials stated last night that Watkins would be the first out- side band to ever appear in the "Rinbow Room," and that the spon- soring of his orchestra was part of the new policy of the student organ- ization of bringing in an outstand- ing orchestra for the weekly dances at least once each month. There will be no increase in price of tickets for the dance, it was em- phasized, but officials urged everyone to make reservations early because only a limited number of tickets are to be sold. It was only a few years ago that Watkins organized his band, and its first appearances .were made in De- troit. Following this engagement, he played in Cleveland, Dallas, Nash- ville, and Asbury Park, N. J. Recent engagements of Watkins and his band include the Schroeder Hotel in Milwaukee, Webster Hall in Detroit, the William Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh. A few weeks ago Watkins was first sponsored over a national hookup.

To Play At Union Engagement Of Ann Arbor Girl Is Announced Announcing the engagement of their daughter, Dorothy Lucille Wal- ker, to Nelson Vernard Seegar, son of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Seeger of 272 Crest Avenue, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred G. Walker entertained at a small party last night at their home in Ann Ar- bor. The engagement was cleverly an- nounced by means of small favors in the form of tiny nosegays to which rings were tied.

JEWELRY and SAMMY WATKINSl Orchestra Leader Gets His Start In Local Appearance Fred Waring, noted orchestra leader, got his start right here in Ann Arbor and from no less a person than Jerry Hoag, manager of the Michigan Theatre. It was back in 1924 that Waring, a relatively unkown musician, was playing here at the J-Hop party. Hoag happened to be present and liked the music. The next day, he relates, he looked up Waring and asked him to play at the Majestic Theatre that night. Waring didn't know. He had never been on the stage, but because he wanted to try it, he accepted Hoag's offer. On his first appearance, Hoag says, Waring was very well received by Majestic patrons. After returning to the East, Waring rapidly gained in popularity and soon became one of thenation's foremost dance band leaders. And yet, Hoag says, he always re- members his first stage engagement at the Majestic.
