Engineers''Slide Rule' Ball

Will Be Held Today

At

Union



Calloway Band
Will Feature
Sweet, Swing
Photo-Electric Cells Will Guard
Huge Slide Rule From Enemies;
Committee Dinner Will Be Held
Slide Rule Ball needs only the key
to the situation to get under *ay,
and this will be furnished at the last
minute when the committee puts up
the big slide rule for the ball, which
will take place from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.
today, in the large ballroom of the
Union.
This isn't all the committee will
see to-it's sweet music that Cab
Calloway and his Cotton Club Or-
chestra have been persuaded to dish
out for the dancers, interspersed with
features in the style that Calloway
introduced, earning him the title of
"king of hi-de-ho."
There will be a dinner for the
committee and their guests at 7
p.m.; after this they will get a chance
to try their hand at wrestling with
the slightly enlarged version of their
ever-present slide-rules. This cus-
tom has become traditional for the
engineers.
Murals To Decorate
With the slide rule the high spot
of the decorations, there will be blue
and gold accents in the other dec-
orations, which will be chiefly four
large panels showing the progress of
an engineer through four years of
school.
His freshman year shows him
thinking of all the beautiful girls he
expects to meet; his sophomore year
finds him still looking for the girls,
but doing a little studying on the
side. Activities dominate the junior
year, and he's beginning, just begin-
ning, to doubt the existence of the
girls; it all culminates with his sen-
ior year, with good-bye to studying,
activities, and the non-existent girls,
whom he didn't care about anyway.
To Guard Slide Rule
Guarding the large slide rule will
be photo-electric cells, an ingenious
device designed to keep wandering
lawyers from walking off with the
decorations. History shows that this
has happened, with some very in-
teresting battles ensuing, drastic
enough to land the combaters in the
Union pool, formal clothes and all.
The central committee members
for the dance are George Weesner.
'41E, general chairman; John Burn-
ham, '42E, programs; Burr French,
'42E, and Charles Heinen, '41E, pub-
licity co-chairmen; Alex Wilkie, '42E,
and Arthur Dobson, '42E, floor co-
chairmen; Robert Morrison, '42E.
and Charles Tieman, co-chairmen
for the decorations committee; Rob-
ert Imboden, '42E, tickets; Edward
King, '41E, patrons; Harold Britton,
'41E, and Seymour Furbush, '41E,
music.
