This is always the time of year when jaded newspaper writers begin
drooling listlessly about spring, the birdies and the beesies. Well, we ain't,
see? It's a foregone conclusion that Ann Arbor will be infested with snow,
ice and dreary weather until the first of May. So
-QUIET!
This week's candied sweet potato for the
most resourceful man of the season goes to the
"gempman" who sat serenely in the last row
" of the balcony between shows at the Michigan
.. one night, with a good-sized radio balanced on
,. . his lap. Oblivious to the people crawling in and
out he sat quietly dialing the infernal machine as a little playlet came over
the air.
More brides are in the air-or showers, anyway. Fee Menefee, Ray Stein-
er and Marguerite Ganzhorn were the perpetrators of a luncheon at the
League Saturday noon to honor Lois Druckenhead. Jane Ann'Rather, Judy
Mertz, Mari Eichelberger and Maxine Blaess, among other charming souls,
were there. The gals ate at a big table in the dining room and enjoyed a,
lovely lunch as a live turtle shuttled back and forth over the tablecloth. Ah,.
nature in the raw.
Flash' Lovell Gets Big Job! .
Interfratenity and Panhellenic get together again today to give a tea
dance for the people. Same will be in the League Ballroom as usual.
Barbara Lovell, often referred to as "Flash", is the women's editor of the
city paper of Annapolis, Md., at the present time, according to reliable
sources near Washington, Baltimore an d
pernts East. That's what Daily work leads to!
The Union Cawfee Hour held forth yesterday.
Mrs. Ralph W. Hammett poured and guestsN
included Jim Halligan, Betty Spangler, Har-
riet Sharkey, Margo Thom, and Jack Reed.
Betty Whitely, Don Nixon (publicity agent,
too, he is), Bob Ellis and Sybil Swartout were -
there, too, dancing and carrying on. ..
The Ruthven Tea, first of the new semes-
ter, brought great numbers of students to
the President's home yesterday afternoon. Mrs.
Homer Heath and Ginny Voorhees poured<
for part of the afternoon. Jack Collins, stood'
around heckling Miss V. as she sedately filled tea cups. Carvel Shaw was
there, Mary Jordan, Duke Wilkinson, Bill Grier, Bud Sherman, Ann Vedder,
Nancy Dall, Midge Ford, Don Treadwell, who came stalking in behind Jim
Halligan, and Betty Kepler:.
Tea Guests Number Hundreds ..
Dr. and Mrs. William Steere came in, Annabel Van Winkle was sur-
rounded by Bob May, Walt Rodger, Andy Ashburn and two other men.
Barbara Heath was introducing people to the Ruthvens, aided and abetted
by Jenny Petersen. The Young twins, Jack and Bob, came waltzing in beam-
ing identically. Most confusing.
Mary Hayden and Alberta Wood were lurking in a doorway, waiting itr
Enora Ferriss. Hazel Jensen was in the library, and Mary Ashley was here
and there. Swell time . . etc.
Nancy Gossard's joke on her sorority sisters
did an about-face and got her between the
eyes the other night. Seems she was supposed to
j .fbring a package of gum down to the house for
some obscure reason usually given to pledges.
Being a wiseacre, she bought Asper-Gum, think-
ing that it was for the pleasure of the actives.
You guessed it-she had to chew the whole mess
herself.
Caroline Chierwechter, Frannie Hubbs, Mar-
jorie Stock and Mildred Yoxell have rolled up the highest points in rifling
so far in the W.A.A., so runs the latest dispatch.

Dances; William Geiser:
Will Be Featured Singer
William Gilbert, '41, will appear as
guest singer with Bill Gail's orches-
tra at the Panhellenic-Interfraternity
tea dance which is being held from
4 p.m. to 6 p.m. today in the ballroom
of the League, Barbara Benedict,'40,
co-chairman with James Grace, '40,
announced.
The tea dance is the fourth of a
series conducted by the social com-
mittee of the League and sponsored
by Panhellenic Association and in-
terfraternity Council. Two tickets to
Junior Girls Play will be given away
as prizes.
The system by which the prize
winners will be chosen is a complicat-
ed one, Miss Benedict said. At 5:30
p.m. the names of seven women will
be picked at random and announced.
The man having the greatest number
of those names on the list of women
with whom he has danced wins one
of the prizes. He chooses the name
of a woman, also at random, and she
wins the second prize.
Circle dances and similar novelty
dances designed to break down for-
mality will be called at intervals dur-
ing the afternoon. There is a charge
of 5 cents for men and none for
women, Miss Benedict said. Name
tags will be given each person as he
enters the ballroom, thus facilitating
the process of listing the names of
one's partners.
The tea dances, an innovation this
year, have proven popular and will
probably be continued:
With store windows filled with
luscious spring colol's and the sun
making a tantalizing appearance
every third day, one begins to won-
der if it will ever really get here.
When-or if--it does, we suggest.

ful.
