At Union
When Ina Ray Hutton and her
Melodears play for the first annual
Key Dance to be held May 29, it will
be the first time that a girls band
has ever played for one of the form-
al parties during the University year.
Acknowledged as one of the out-1
standing dance orchestras in the!
country, it has been steadily gaining
in popularity, and Ann Arbor is to
be only one of the stops on a coast
to coast tour which will end in Hol-
lywood.
At the dance the Sigma Delta Chi
oil-can will be awarded by Prof.
James K. Pollock of the Political
Science department, the former re-
cipient, to "the most loquacious lub-
ricator" whose identity has not as
yet been revealed. This ceremony is
a tradition of the former Gridiron!
Dames.
Tickets for the Kay Dance have
been allowed to the members of theI
six societies sponsoring the dance
and are alho on sale at the Union
desk. According to Frank Barnard,
37, chairman of the committee in
charge, all those desiring tickets1
:hould buy them as soon as possible,
and he forecast an early sale. The
price of the tickets is $3.
All the men's honorary societies
on the campus, both engineering and
literary, are cooperating in sponsor-
ing the first annual Key Dance.
Druids, Michigamua, Sphinx, Sigma
Delta Chi, Vulcans and Triangles
have given their support to the
dance and it will be the first time
in their history that they have co-
operated in sponsoring a single
dance.

Few Women Reporters
There are some women who work
on this paper, but on smaller papers
this is a relatively unheard of prac- y
tice. Women contribute articles to
arlous publications but are not reg- -
ular members of the staff. This may
be due to the lack of interest in so-
ciety news.
