Co-op Houses
To Hold First
Dance Today
Entertainment F e a t u r e s
Will Be Skits, Games
And Victrola Dancing
Cooperation will reach a new high
when the eight cooperative houses
on campus hold their first combined
informal dance today from 9 p.m. to
midnight, at Lane Hall.
About 200 students living in the
cooperative houses and their guests
are expected to attend the dance, an-
nounced Richard Shuey, '42E, chair-
man of the Inter-Coopertive Social
committee.
Stunts Are Feature
The feature attraction of the eve-
ning will be a series of stunts to be
presented by different houses, with
William Rockwell, '41, and Richard
Coe, '42E, acting as masters of cere-
monies. A loving cup will be award-
ed to the house which presents the
cleverest stunt. Records will supply
music for the dancing.
Games have been arranged by
June Harris, '40, for those guests
who wish to participate.
Decorations for the dance will con-
sist primarily of small tables with
multi-colored cloths and candles
placed around the dance floor, and
have been arranged by Martha Cum-
mins, '42, with the assistance of Nor-
man Anderson, '40E, Norma Greer,
'41P, Edward Hater, '42E, Ray Otis,
'42, Robert Speckhard, '43, John Mc-
Cune, '41,' and Robert Ulrich, '41.j
To Share Cost
The refreshment committee is
headed by Rudolph Potochnik, '40,
with Marian Hallas, '41 and Julian
Griggs, Grad., assisting. Wilfrid
Kelley, Grad., is finance chairman.
In order to carry out the cooperative
spirit, the total cost of the dance
will be divided up among the houses
in proportion to the number of rep-
resentatives each one has at the
affair.
In former years, the cooperative
houses have held spring picnics at
the cooperative farm.
West Quadrangle

mitory unit, is giving a radio dance

bon, Grad., of Wenley House. Tickets

each and may be purchased from
members of the Quadrangle staff.
The house directors of the five
dormitories, Mrs. Bertha Herdman,

Clever Lines Make Small Waists
Winter fashions decree that milady's waist be made to appear as
small as possible so that the bustle and hip line may be accentuated.
Cloth draped in Grecian fashion over the bosom and criss-crossing at
the waist, extending over the hips achieves that tiny-waisted effect.
Peplums consisting of gradations of cloth to exaggerate the hip line and
tight fitting midriffs cutting off loose, blousy bodices also make the
small waist more noticeable.
Record Survey Shows 'Swing'
Bands To Be Student Favorites
By ESTHER OSSERI
Revivals of old jazz favorites and
new arrangements of classical num-
bers have, on the whole, proved most
attractive to student record enthusi-
asts during the past year, according
to surveys made by three campus
music houses.
"Swing" bands still have the edge
on popularity, it was learned, al-
though all three surveys gave top-
ranking merit to different orchestras.
Each shop also reported that a
number of bands gained popularity,
on the strength of one recording.
Most consistent "swing" favorite
for the past six months and at the}
present time is Glenn Miller's or-
chestra, with Benny Goodman, in a
surprising comeback since his switch
to Columbia records, running a close
second. J a n Savitt's "shuffle
xhythm," with Bon Bon's vocals, has
also made a tremendous hit with
the record fans, all three music
representatives stated. Artie Shaw,
though still popular, has lost the
crown going with his last year's title,
"King of Swing," record sales re-
veal.
Hal Kemp and Tommy Dorsey aref
ranking favorites for those who pre-
fer the "smoother" and "sweeter"
bands, and Dick Jurgens and Orrin4
Tucker have gained prominence for
their respective recordings of "My
Last Goodbye "and "Oh, Johnny,
Oh," the last of which features Bon-
nie Baker in the vocal spot.
Newcomers among the "platter-
waxers" who have picked up a con-
siderable follpwing are Will Bradley
and John Kirby. Bradley's record-
ing of "Memphis Blues" and "Old
Doc Yak" is his most outstanding
work so far, while the Kirby com-
bination of "Blue Skies" and "Royal
Garden Blues," has received flatter-
ing attention.
Students are really "going for
the classics" whether they know it
or not, Margaret Baker of the Uni-
versit Music House, Doris Price of
the Radio and Record Shop, and
Eula Feldkamp, of the record de-
partment at Kresge's agreed. In
the past year, "My Silent Mood,"
(Chopin); "Moon Love" and "Our
Love" (Tschaikowsky), and "My
Reverie" (Debussy) have proved out-
standing favorites. Revivals of old
numbers include "Angry" which used
to be "I Was Only Teasing You;"
"Ciribirribin"; "South of the Bor-
der" and "Oh, Johnny, Oh" which
was popular during the last world
war.
