A s c:ial birihday party was given Friday for Ann Dahl, Union
singer, by her orchestra leader, Bill Sawyer, including an extra over-
size cake. Miss Dahl is pictured as she cut her cake for dancers with
Sawyer looking on.
l d kina .
ON'T BELIEVE FOR A MINUTE that those few days of midyear vaca-
cation did much to satisfy the zest for playing that accompanies the
2nd of the exam dilemma. One piece of candy leads to the desire for more
sweets (psychology 31?); this principle works along the dating line, too.
The short lived snow season provided the usual
slushy atmosphere last weekend, but besides the
S 6ski and skate addicts, there were dancers to
spare.
Helen Rhodes and Johnny Bachman, for in-
stance, got their philosophical research Fri-
day evening at the League, wondering why Le-
roy Smith'sprogram wasn't composed of Negro
spirituals. Angie Rocknick, Helen Jean, Ed
Christensen and Donn Kipka were also sampling the new League table ar-
r ngernent the same evening;' Peggy Meagher, Phil Simpson, Ginny Apple-
ton, and Jim Martin were approving the floor at the same time. If any of
these couples got into a jam on the floor, Varolyn Denfield and Lou Hamil-
ton were probably involved.
Lawyers Somehimes Do Uncram . . .
Maybe it was leap year that brought the lawyers to the League, but at
any rate, the barristers took the place over Saturday evening. Bob Soloman
with Margaret Curry, Bill Weatherby with Marie McElray, Maurice Green-
baum with Beatrice Wiener, and Bill Chambe'lin with Ginny Brereton rep-
resented the law. Jerry Dick took a chance on the slow numbers with Zelda
Davis, while Betty Lipton and Don Quinn ceded their places when the or-
chestra struck up a jive arrangement. Lloyd Mawrie and Helen Hay were
impartial in their selection of dance rhythms.
Massah Smith must have drawn them in, for Jim Halligan with Harriet
Sharkey deemed him worth seeing Saturday night. So did Dave jioye and
Berta Leete, Beth O'Roke and Bob Manley, Ed Greenwald and Jean Braid-
wood.
Snow and sports go together, even if the sports aren't icy in nature.
An athletic evening watching was spent by Mellie MacCready, Bob Smith,
Jean McKay, Lee Ranney, Mary Spaeth and J. T. Lamb. Basketball game
and swimming meet, plus a run home is enough
for any night. Wonder if they ran into Bette
Reutter and Bob Padgett or Betty Lightner and b *
Gus Smiley in between acts?
Irv Green and Viv Nussbaum got a little
larnin' by osmosis at the Carlson lecture Satur--
day Riight. George Madler didn't deviate from
the usual routine when he took Edie Levin to the
Phi Sig Delt dance; Adeline Gittlen and Bob Goldstein can testify to that.
Phil Buchan and Ann Krerners traveled for their supper Friday night. What
has Detroit food got that Ann Arbor can't boast? Who's wondering now?
Uptown, Downtown - - We're Overrun
Nor were the downtown haunts neglected. Joe's and Orient, they are.
gone, weep the classes that came "after," but there still seem to be tables
aplenty that will hold parties of 12 and over. Isabel Balfour and Dick
Saville with Rae Gustafson and Bob Sager agree to this. Hartzel Ragen
was in on the scene, too, but leap year did nothing to alleviate his unique
position as a stag.
Sunday night gloom was dispensed at the Wolverine social with swing
and classics in alternating sets. Jim Gribble and Al Haske, chairmen, were
un-tied by any particular women, but John Spencer came with Elizabeth
Spalding, Charlie Mitrovitch with Jean Dancer, and Bruce Kimball with
Doris Scott.

By Committee

gan his career as an orchestra leader
on the Michigan campus where as a
student he led a band which played
for fraternity and sorority dances.

hotels throughout the country, and
has made regular radio broadcasts.
Annual Petitioning
For Scholarships
is Op-en At League
Petitions are still being accepted
for the Ethel McCormick scholar-
ships awarded annually to sophomore
and junior women, Betty Slee, '40,
chairman of Judiciary Council, an-
nounced.
Three scholarships of $100 each are
offered to women who have partici-
pated intLeague activities, and who
have maintained a reasonable schol-
astic average in college. A third fac-
tot considered in making the awards
is need.
Winners of the scholarships will be
announced at the annual Installation
Banquet to be held at the League in
April. They will be given full cash
awards unless they do not return to
school in the fall.
Recital Is Planned

By ESTHER OSSERr
Trailblazing in the field of costum-t
ing, Play Production will present
Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" in the
colorful dress and setting in which
the great bard saw his characters clad
when he dramatized the life of Rome's
majestic First Citizen.
Deserting the traditional "bed-
sheet" costuming of the play, in
which the white toga was used to
create an effect of historic reality,t
Emma Hirsch Mellencamp, Play
Production's costumer, has attempted
to reflect the mood of the play in the
Elizabethan styles worn by the orig-
inal performers.
Costumes To Be Colorful
As a result, actors in this newest
version of Julius Caesar, which opens
at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Lydia
Mendelssohn Theatre, will move in
swirls of scarlet and gold and ele-
gantly rich materials, instead of the
usual drab and relatively graceless
Roman garb.
Elizabethan costuming has been
attempted only once before in the
modern staging of "Julius Caesar",
Mrs. Mellencamp pointed out, and
added that that was in the Lucy Bar-
ton production where a modified Eliz-
abethan dress was used.
"Psychological color" is the name
given by Mrs. Mellencamp to Play
Production's theory of costuming for
the Shakespearian drama. When the
production is done in the brilliant
color of the Elizabethan period, she
pointed out, scenes such as the mur-
der scene are immeasurably height-
ened. "The effect of a mass of men
all in white," she said, "simply does
not carry the same emotional weight."
Personality Points Reflected
In all cases, the color of the cos-
tume is suited to the personality of
the character in the play, Mrs. Mel-
lencamp said. Caesar's costume of
red velveteen trimmed in gold (red'
britches and doublet of gold cloth),
for instance sets an aura around him,
making him a magnificent and almost

aloof figure, she stated. Portia, on
the other hand, she pointed out, is
dressed in sapphire blue velvet, thus
attempting to convey to the audienre
a sense of the "coolness" of her per-
sonality.
Although the Elizabethan period of
dress is used in the play, the acrual
costumes are necessarily desig:ned
according to what the audience thinks,
is right for that period, Mrs. Mellen-t
camp stressed.C
Pink and blue were two widely usedI
colors for men in Shaespeare's day,.
she pointed out, adding that theyt
would look "foppish" to a modern
audience.f
Ruffs Arc Outmoded
For the same reason, the costumer1
stated, it is impossible to use the ex-
tremely wide ruffs so much in vogue;
in the 16th century. Instead, the
brilliance and elegance of that period'
is conveyed today through rich ma-
terials of fine texture, Mrs. Mellen-
camp said.{
Costumes conform as closely to the
details of Elizabethan dress as gen-;
eral impression allows, however, Mrs.
Mellencamp pointed out. In Brutus's
costume of wine velveteen, with
"warm pinkish-orange highlights"
she tries to achieve the "hourglass"
figure desired by the men of that
time. Trimmed with gold braid, it
also features the regulation Eliza-
bethan white, ruffled "whisk" collar.
A softly puckered cloak, striped with
the colors of the rainbow, will also
be used, she said.
Alp ha Delta Pi Wins
Basketball Fi als
Alpha Delta Pi emerged the victor
of the annual women's intra-mural
basketball tournament, after play-
ing the finals twice, due to a tie
score.
Alpha Delta Pi defeated Delta Delta
Delta, with a score of 35 to 15. The
results of the first set of finals was
20 to 20.
High scorer for the afternoon was
Miss Taylor, who scored 26 points.

Part Tryouts End Today
Music for "Hi-Falutin'," the 1940
Junior Girls Play. will be entered in
the nation-wide contest to be spon-
sored by the American Society of

licity, announced yesterday.

gion, which includes Ohio, Michigan,
Illinois, Tennessee, Indiana and Ken-

tion by a leading group of Broadway

plied for work at any educational in-
stitution which the recipient may
choose to enter.
The judges of the contest will be
three college teachers in the field of

Final tryouts for parts in "Hi-
Falutin"' will be held at 4 p.m. today
in the League, due to the fact that
so many women attended the try-
outs held last week. The extension
of time for tryouts was made to ac-
commodate all those who wished to
attend, and the final selection will
be made not later than tomorrow, by
McKelvey and members of the cen-
