PAGE Exams Cause Tense Nerves In Ann Arbor By ELINOR SEVISON "Paris in the fourth month of theI war is an attractive, comfortable, almost normal city with an intimate, quasi-country charm" begins an article in the current Vogue entitled "Paris-with the Men on Leave." Ann Arbor in the weekend before the struggle is an attractive, com- fortable, abnormally quiet town with a, tense, "wish-we'd-studied-before" atmosphere. And this little epic pre- sents a situation perhaps not par- allel to that of the French capital, but near enough to the idea of conflict- mn versus books--to be titled "All Quiet On the Social Front." Activities of man, woman and fresh- man must be necessarily limited be- cause of the few entertainments offered. Two out of the three normal week- end activities-fraternity dances and the League and Union ballrooms-- have stepped aside for the academic life, and only the Union. remains open to entice the would-be all-A student from his books. "The show must go on" and with this slogan in mind the cinema qpn- tinues daily shows. But for companionship and con- vivality-a bit subdued we admit but nevertheless a joy of accomplishment those who would "be seen" with the ones .who "are seen" must return to library and study hall. r Bowling Will Continue Women's Athletic Building bowling alleys will remain open during the entire examination period. The hours. will be from 3:15 p.m. to 6 p.m., and from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. daily, and from 3:15 p.m. to 6 p.m Saturdays. Chapel Group.

With prints, with tailored suits, wear this gleaming pump; gracefully cut out, and with a high iharrow heel SP EC IAL:; 3-THREAD CHIFFON HOSE ... 89C YOODYflRS By MAYA GRUHZIT "Swing? Why it's nothing more! than music of 20 years ago dressed up. In five years or less I predict there won't be any "swing" bands." And so Ted Fio Rito gives voice to words which again precipitate that modern argument: To swing or not to swing. With Tommy Dorsey, an ardent advocate of swing and a very success- ful one at that, collaborating at J- Hop with Fio Rito, students of mo- dern music will have an excellent op- portunity to decide for themselvesJ upon the merits of swing versusJ sweet. Fio Ritosutilizees the flute, muted brasses and light percussiond effects to sweeten his music and take the "jazz" out of the hotter rhythms. Dorsey on the other hand "jives" far and wide with his. faied. trombone.! Even Dorsey's sweet arrangements! have that pervasive element of swing. Viola Substitutes For Violins. One of Fio Rito's important inno- vations in the instrumental makeup of his outfit consists of his substi- tution of a single viola in place of three violins. He believes that the one viola improves upon the three violins by lending deeper and more resonant tonal qualities and at the same time"blending better with the brasses. Fio. Rito also relegates the saxophone, considered by most or- chestra leaders as the "hottest of all musical instruments, to a back posi- tion in favor of the viola. Featured along with Fio Rito and his exceptional keyboard work will, be "Candy" Candido, "The Little Man with the Thousand Voices:,," Novoline Payne, vocalist, Frank Flynn - bari- tone and drummer, and "Jam Ses- sions" .by the Seven Swingaroos. Dorsey Defends win pressed his views as to swing by stat- ing, "Swing" has always been with us. Its discovery by the public as a word is recent, but musicians for years have used the .term and exer- cised its meaning." Dorsey has con- centrated his interest on the trom- bone;- and in popular music circles has been named as ace trombonist of the time. He can make it sound like a trumpet, cornet, organ, cello and violin, and this certainly indi- 1 cates his proficiency on the instru- ment, Frank Sinatra, who was former> featured with Harry James is now the featured vocalist with Dorsey's orchestra. Along with Sinatra, the Dorsey Quartette, famous for its vo- calizations will demonstrate how "swing" should be swung. For those who like sweet music, J-Hop will be the best place to hear sweet music on the night of Feb. 9 when Fio Rito plays, and for those who like swing, there is still J-Hop with Tommy Dorsey. And the argu- ment will still rage long after Dorsey and Fio Rito leave Ann Arbor: To swing or not to swing. Your Hudson Seal Or New iMk Coat May Be Muskrat Did you know that 800,000 Ameri- can'women bought new fur coats this winter? Were you one of the lucky ones? If you were thus fortunate, you contributed to the $350,000,000 spent on fur during 1939. But did you know what you were getting for your money? Gone are the days when mink looked like mink and muskrat resembled only its orig- inal self. Now only about ten per cent of the furs sold closely resemble the original animal. Most Popular Furs Most popular of the furs which aren't meddled with are leopard, fox and k rn. o make muskrat appeal to those of us who have pocketbooks' of copper and tastes of gold, furriers pbrush the color on the skins and the lfeathers are applied with stripings. We are informed that there are :ninety separate steps in transferring muskrat skin into the stunning Hud- son seal coat so popular with the more sophisticated woman. First a layer of skin is scraped from the under side of the pelt, and then the pelt is put into a beating machine where it is pounded soft. Fur's Back Greased The back of the fur is greased, na- tural oils are injected into the pelt, and impurities are removed. And so is famous Hudson seal created in the factories of the furriers while most purchasers blissfully imagine the ex- quisite coat which they arc now proudly wearing once protecting the back of an enormous seal in the freez- ing Arctic. 1= - To make dishes sparkle, after they are washed try rinsing them with Math. 111, 208 Univ.
