La Conga Proves
Popular In Class
Of Modern Dance
La Conga, a dance already in favor
in Palm Beach and New York, is re-
ceived with enthusiasm by students in
the Arthur Murray Dancing classes
here, Elva Pascoe, instructor, said.
In the first series of lessons which
ended Dec. 4, about half the instruc- l
tion time was spent on La Conga,
which is named for the Conga drum,!
chief instrument in the Cuban or-
chestra, she said.
Conga rhythm is somewhat like
rumba rhythm but resembles a march
with its four beat tempo. For several
hundreds of years it has been danced
in Cuba on feast days, having been
brought there by African slaves and
modified by the Cubans. It can be
danced in a chain formation as a
group dance or in couples. In several
shots of the current picture, "Another
Thin Man," a native Negro couple
dance La Conga.
In the next series of Arthur Mur-
ray classes which start in January at
the Union, further instruction in La
1 Conga will be offered.

Ideal Present
For Christmas Activity Notes'
Is Evenimg Bag
"What is so rare as a perfect pres-I
ent?" asks the perplexed young man
as he shops for a gift to delight some
young lady on Christmas morning.
We have searched for and found
the answer to his query in the form'
of fitted daytime afternoon and eve-
ning bags.
Many and varied are the beautiful
bags presented this season. One fea-
tured for evening by a leading house
is a crushed jewel tone brocade gold
seal bag, cigarette case, purse and
compact to match. This particular
style may be had in rayon satin or
velvet.
A delightful, fitted afternoon bag
comes in large pouch style in black or
brown suede with a beautifully etched
frame and fittings to match includ-
ing comb and compact.
Day time bags also come with
matched fittings this year. The
choice of material is wide including
calf, alligator, pinseal, and suede
lizard. One particularly clever bag
of this type is a suede bag bound in
metal, including a compact, lipstick
and cigarette case. A personal touch
is provided by her initials in matching
metal.

Luncheons Planned
By Alumnae Groups
The Grand Rapids Alumnae chap-
ter of the University is sponsoring a
luncheon at 12:30 p.m., Dec. 16 at
the Rowe Hotel for the University
women returning to that city for the
holidays. Margery Brown, in charge
of the affair, stated that reservations
must be made immediately.
A luncheon for the women students
returning to their homes in Wash-
ington, D.C. is to be given Dec. 27
in that city by the Washington Mich-
igan Alumnae chapters. The Roches-
ter, N.Y. group is also giving a simi-
lar party for the University women
residing in that city.
Snow or no snow-it's finally Q
arrived! That long-awaited, widelyi
heralded Christmas Spirit has made
its appearance. Whether it showed
up first when they put the lights in8
the fir in front of the library or in I
the midst of the carolling the otherE
night is a moot question, but this8
much we know-it's here!
There are at least a dozen unmis-
takable signs. Yesterday we heard
of the first early bird who hopped a
train for California where she'll
spend the holiday weeks basking in
the sun. And there's the sad Case
of the Five Theses-at least two of
the five due tomorrow are already
done. It's even rumored that blue-
books are coming in twos instead of
threes.
But the surest sign of that Christ-
mas bug is the number of good reso-
lutions loose in the air. The text-
book caravan seems destined to be
just as long as ever, and it's a fore-
gone conclusion that the return trek
will be identical in every detail ex-
cept for the slight addition of dust
on the objects of all these good reso-
lutions.
However gleefully we return in
September, it's safe to say that we
double it in December when we back-
track for home. Seems logical when
you think about it a bit. After all,
in spite of the bluebooks we like
Ann Arbor-that's why short vaca-
tions are welcome and long ones just
a bit of a bore.
Here's a piece of advice which we
guarantee-if you've got to make
resolutions, and feel you must take
home the stuff to implement them,
try to restrict the whole thing to
themes which come out of the head
-they make easier carrying back and
forth.
