'Foo On Flu' Is Motto
Of JOP Play Cast
When June Madison, the Colonel of
"Pig in a Poke," current Junior Girls
Play, announced with much gusto
that she was in the pink of condi-
tion, Director Dick McKelvey heaved
a sigh of relief.
McKelvey's sigh had good cause.
As it stands now, three of the five
leads are in bed with the flu, the
general chairman, costume chair-
man, and scene designer are in the
convalescent sage, and Maxine Nel-
son, dance director, is nursing a brok-
en ankle. Always darkest before
1he dawn, they say ...

cy Weather
Fails To Stop
Social Whirl
From roller-skates to book-titles
is quite a jump but the parties to-
night seem to include much of the
unusual, as merrymakers will defy
near-zero and blizzardy weather to
continue their round of fun.
Roller-skating will be featured by
Sigma Alpha Mu. Members will meet
at the house at 10:30 and then pro-
ceed to the Fairground rink. The
chaperons will be Mr. and Mrs. Hen-
ry Meyer, Mr. and Mrs. Max Gold-
man, Jr., and Mr. and Mrs. William
Isaacson of Detroit.

and Mrs. Francis Wistert, Mr. and
Mrs. Ray Killins, Mr. and Mrs. Her-
bert C. Weller and Mr. and Mrs.
James Bridges will chaperon.
"Book-titles" is the theme for the
radio-dance to be given by Pi Lambda

der, '40, both from Ohio Weslyan

Tommy Tucker
Is Announced
As Frolic Band
Orchestra Will Replace
Happy Felton; Women
Have Late Permission
Tommy Tucker's orchestra will
provide the music for Frosh Frolic,
to be held from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Fri-
day, March 10, instead of Happy Fel-
ton's orchestra, which was originally
booked to play, Jack Grady, '42, gen-
eral chairman of the dance, an-
nounced yesterday.
The change in plans was caused by
the same difficulty which arose over
Soph Prom earlier this year. Mr.
Felton's contract had already been
signed and delivered, but the Music
Corporation of America refused late
Tuesday to allow the band to appear.
Will Osborne was replaced by Frankie
Masters for Soph Prom on account of
a similar refusal.
Tommy Tucker's band has recent-
ly played at the Gibson Hotel in Cin-
cinnati and at the Meadowbrook
Gardens in the East. Last year they
played on the George Jessel radio
program from the West coast. Tuck-
er' built his reputation on a long en-
gagement at the Statler Hotel in
Cleveland. When playing in Cleve-
land, the band broadcast daily from
the Hotel.
Robert Hotchkiss, '42, chairman of
the ticket committee, announced
that the ticket office at the Union
would be open from 1:30 p.m. till
5:30 p.m. Friday too accommodate
people wishing to make adjustments
on ticketsand to sell the few re-
maining tickets.
Junior Girls Play
Tryouts Are Today
Final try-outs for Junior Girls Play
are to be held from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
today in the Rehearsal Room of the
League, it was announced yesterday
by Maxine Nelson, '40, dance chair-
man. Tryouts are being held for sing-
ing, dancing and small speaking parts.
Independent women are particularly
urged to try out, Richard McKelvey,
Grad, director, announced.
Ruth Jacobson will be in the
League Undergraduate Offices from
4 to 5 p.m. today to receive the mon-
ey collected by members of the pro-
gram committee, Mary Minor, chair-
man, announced yesterday.

Students Will Make
Recorded Program
At Armory Dance
Students desirous of listening to
their own dulcet tones over the radio,
will have their opportunity Saturday
night at the regular Armory dance,
well-informed sources disclosed early
this morning. Larry Gentile, the
brain behind the CKLW "Dawn Pa-
trol" program, will bring his "Crazy
Quiz" program to Ann Arbor at that
time.
Gentile, microphone in hand, and
surrounded by heralds, heifers and
flunkies, brings his equipment to va-
rious dances throughout Michigan.
He interviews eager-faced people
from the crowd, asking them ques-
tions interspersed with many a wise-
crack. They make short talks and
carry on in general in a whacky tone.
A recording is made of the entire
proceeding and is played over the
air between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. Sun-
day on Gentile's program. No doubt
many a campus smoothie will be en-
ticed into shooting off their faces in
this manner. Watch your local pa-
pers for further details!
