Ar, FE. 16, 1939 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE3 ue Barron Will Play For Assembly Ball Friday, March j -- .> Moping On The Mall, By Meandering Minnie THE week end of the year has past and all the battered husks that pass for students have crept back to tife campus and their favorite pipe courses. After all, spring is coming, and one must plan for plenty of outdoor exercise. Take care of your body, Mazie, she said, munching on a raw carrot-- J.G.P. is at last really getting under way. The drahma of it, that is. Tryouts for "A Pig In A Poke," as it is familiarly called by the committee, went on Tuesday and yesterday. Each candidate must go through a nerve-wracking ordeal before she can get her job in the last row of the chorus. (The fat ,one, third from the left.) Trying out consists of creeping over to the League, where one is accosted at the theatre door and forced at the point of a lead pencil to hand over one buck. After passing that hurdle successfully, the prospective actress lurks around with other kindred souls, also lurking, until it is time to go on the stage. Pianist Awaits Singers On Stage... . On the stage sits a lone pianist, surrounded by popular music of all decades. Selecting one at random, the junior gives tongue in full voice. Next she reads about fifteen lines in her most resonant, throbbing voice, conjur- ing up visions of Jane Cowl and Katherine Cornell the e rile. One young lady was startled by the request, made in a sepulchral voice floating up from the inky blackness of the theatre-"Lemme see your legs!" Her expression and answering remark must have been something, for the cen- tral committee sitting down there burst into guffaws. Zelda Davis and Betty Nichols were doing the meas- uring for costumes, and Jane Nussbaum, costume chair- man and all, was wielding a mean tape measure herself. Betty Stadelman led the women in to the slaughter, as it were, and Fran Henderson had entrenched herself at the doorway to gather in dollar bills. Jean Tibbits, finance chairman, was officiating here and there, and Jane Hart were waiting their turn at emoting. and Earla Dodge Buffet Supper WilI Precede Annual Dance Sale Of Tickets To Begin Feb. 23; Independents Only Allowed To Attend Blue Barron and his orchestra have been secured to play for :Assembly Ball which will be given Friday, March 3,, at the League, it was an- nounced yesterday by Charlotte Houk, '39, general chairman of the dance, at a mass meeting for all independent women.

Osborne's orchestra, which now in- cludes 14 members besides ,himself, was organized in 1924 with six mem- bers. The extreme jazz then in vogue gave rise to (Osborne's decision to create a type of soft rhythm similar to organ music, and it was from this that his representatives named him "Creator of Slide Music." Osborne is a graduate of St. Andrews College. A feature of his music is the use To Play For Caduceus I of three slide trumpets along with three regular trombones in some of his own arrangements. The slide trumpet, according to his representa- tives' catalogue, is a new instrument resembling a miniature trombone.

Dottie Shipman, Kay MacIvor and Pattie Haislip were in the audience, watching Dick MdElvie anxiously as he pondered each likely-looking singer. Berta Leete was stewing over just what she should check on the card re- questing a list of her stage abilities. Mary Jane Kronner was rushing around with her hands full of O'Neill's plays. Helen Ralston got up and sang with nary a quiver and Annabel Dredge was muttering lines from "Dinner At Eight" to herself offstage. Harriet Thom worked herself into a good case of nerves while awaiting the fatal hour. The Union Council did its bit toward initiating incoming freshies yes- terday at their Coffee Hour. During this super "socal hour" Ann Servicky and Richard Dolenga danced by, Janet Cogdill and Ford Whippel also seemed to be enjoying this slant on Collitch life. Out in the lounge Jeanne Crump, Mary Hayden and Bill Langford were chatting over prospects of a new semester.
