SATURDAY, DEC. 2, 1939 THE MICHIGAN DAILY I I 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 To Sponsor Dance West Quadrangle, new men's dor- mitory unit, is giving a radio dance from 9 p.m. to midnight today in the Quadrangle Commons. Michi- gan, Williams, Lloyd, Allen-Rumsey, and Wenley Houses are the Union dormitories sponsoring the dance which is open to all University stu- dents. Entertainment will take the form of a floor show direced by John Zu- bon, Grad., of Wenley House. Tickets for the dance cost thirty-five cents each and may be purchased from members of the Quadrangle staff. The house directors of the five dormitories, Mrs. Bertha Herdman, Mrs. Lura Niles, Mrs. Beatrice Gi- ard, Mrs. Albert Lee, and Mrs. Vir- ginia Harryman will chaperon the pre-holiday party.

Birds Boarded 562 S. 7th Street Phone 5330 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. 1 r Group To Hold Annual Faculty Tea AtLeague Members Of Independent Association To Hostess; Faculty Wives To Pour' At a social meeting held Friday. the Ann Arbor Independents com- pleted final plans for their faculty tea, which will be held from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. tomorrow in the Ethel Fountain Hussy Room of the League.
