(Shall we give 'em the old line about 'There's something about a soldier'-just to start this column off? No, better not. They (mean- ing my two readers-won't swallow that corn). You can see how it is. You just have to fight off the trite phrases that come to mind when you're trying to start a column-and I don't want to hear any cracks about'-you should fight a little harder'. However, to get back to the point, there was, accord- ing to all reports; a Military Ball on Friday last. Some of the couples there were Jane McLean and Neal Sperhake. Betty Backus and John Poe, Harriet Vicary and Ivan Cuthbert, Louise Higbee and bon Ryker, and Chris Segrist and Bob inboden.-And that's disposing of a formal in record time!± Episode A t Mosher ... Neatest Trick Of The Week: Science, instead of sex, reared its ugly head over at Mosher Hall last Saturday night. Couples at the door weire inter- rupted in their usual scenes of tender parting by another couple which strode purposefully into the center of the group-(a primary group, incidentally) --These strange new additions to *" the Mosher scene quietly whipped a pair of surgeons :masks out of their pockets, fastened them over their faces, and then went into the most sanitary clinch the dorm-or the campus, for that matter-had seen in many a day. Perhaps it's a new fad. If it is, perhaps it will sweep the campus-but we doubt it! IWill Be Qiven By Ruthvens Pres. and Mrs. Ruthven will again meet students at an informal tea to be given at their home from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. tomorrow. Though the en- tire campus is invited, special invita- tions have been extended to ten cam- pus groups, according to Mary Elean- or Brown, '43, in charge of arrange- ments. Included among the resident groups and societies named are Beta Kappa Rho, Kappa Nu. Phi Kappa Tau, Gamma Phi Beta, Williams House, Wenley House, Sphinx. Wyvern, League Council of '41, and League Council of '42. Assisting Miss Brown as chairman is Nancy Gray, '43. Members of the League Social Committee who will also participate in the tea for the first hour are Margaret Ihling, '43, door assistant, Jean L'Hommedieu, '42, and Charlotte Noble, '43, assistants to the pourers; Shirley Lay, '42, with Irene Ferguson, '42, will help at the tea By LOIS SHAPIRO WAA's traditional Lantern Night, which the campus of 1940 knows as a Sing competition among women's groups of the University, did not begin as a sing at all but as a pageant. Way back in the spring of 1915, dancing activities at WAA were given impetus through the presentation of a pageant known as Lantern Night, and thus the tradition has continued in one form or another as the culmin- ating festivity of women's athletic program of the year had its be- ginning. Pageant Presented In 1922, Lantern Night was aug- mented by, the presentation of an elaborate pageant staged on Palmer Field. Then in 1925, the occasion was enlarged by including a Field Day in the afternoon, box lunches on the field and a night line of march. Frosh Pageant, which had been a regular feature of the program, was discontinued in 1933, and Lantern Night was given in connection with Homecoming that spring. Seniors Were Honored 1934 presented an innovation in the annual affair by having only the six seniors voted by each house as being the most outstanding in leadership and service in WAA compose the block "M." These girls were honored at a supper before the march. The spring of 1936 found Frosh Pageant presented again as a feature of Lantern Night. Box lunches were brought again and a dance was planned on the tennis courts, but inclement weather prevented this lat- ter plan from taking place. The 'Sing' characteristic of Lantern Night began in 1938 when an all women's sing was planned. Twenty- four groups entered and the winner of the Interfraternity Sing was on S rtaForbal Sur e...le. S Assuming positions at the beginning Sprig Formals go merrily on. They're pretty popular, so it's no won- t of the second hour will be Elaine deb; however, we have heard a few complaints about them. The local gentry I Richert, '43, door assistant, Marjorie wail that they hardly have time to get comfortably seated in a downtown Smith, '43, and Jean Eliott, '42, as-. coffee house before they're rushed off to catch a bus-it's like running for sisting the pourers, and Joan Clement, the 8:40 out in a suburb.

The sing was pre- ceded by a line of march from the li- brary, led by senior women holding the five major positions on campus and the University of Michigan Band. Women Formed 'M' Over 600 women marched that night, the "M" was formed, and the "Yellow and Blue" was sung. Pi Beta Phi won the first sing as well as the last one, 1940. The participation cup was given for the first time for house's participation in WAA activities. Since 1938 the plan of Lantern Night has been the same. In 1939, Kappa Delta won the cup, and Mar- tha Cook outsang all other groups. Last year 925 women marched in the annual processional and Alpha Delta Pi won the cup. Twenty-four groups have entered this year's sing, and the same form for the evening will be pursued as was in 1938. New Grecian Coiffures Provide Best Answer To Wind-Blown Heads Grecian simplicity is reflected in some of the smart new ideas for practical ways of wearing the hair. It is a feeling of repose that the new soft waves, classic sculptured lines, and smooth curls indicate. Subtle use of false hair is coming into its own; this false braid is skill- fully wound around the head,, half under the pompadour and the roll at the nape of the neck. The days of madly-blowing hair are over, for awhile at least. Yellow Is Chosen As Summer Color For Accessories, Suits There is nothing retiring about the colors chosen to accent our summer. Yellow is one of the most promising -it brings out the warm tones of sun-tanned skin, makes a blond blonder, a brunette more so. Whole suits of brilliant yellow, or sport dresses and outfits are good; equally good are flashes of yellow against black or other dark shades. The new rich chocolate brown is a natural setting for the startling yel- low.

Gut-Of-Town Theatre-Goers Attend .Dramas By BARBARA De FRIES That the popularity of the Ann Ar- bor Dramatic Season is not confined to this city alone is evident from a glanc at the orders being received daily at the box office, Mrs. Lucille Walz, Business Manager, said recent- ly. For years, clubs, schools and organ- izations have found in this Dramatic Season an educational value as well as pure entertainment, and annually groups of from ten to eighty arrange to attend the plays. This year the Milan Woman's Club has ordered 30 sets of tickets while one group from Adrian has arranged for 48 season tickets. The Edison Institute of Dearborn will be repre- sented by 20 or 30 coming over each week. High Schools Attend No longer is the dramatic enthus- iasm limited to adults and those of college age, for even high school stu- dents have come to realize the value of the opportunity afforded. High schools of Bay City, Port Huron, Sag- inaw, Ypsilanti, Fordson, Detroit, Flint and Tecumseh will all be repre- sented at the plays. State boundaries, too, mean very little, as is indicated by the fact that large Ohio groups are planning to make the trip to Ann Arbor. Indiana customers come from Fort Wayne and South Bend. Matinees Are Popular Matinees have proved especially popular with many residents from Birmingham, Albion, Highland Park, Royal Oak, Battle Creek, Marshall and Kalamazoo, who will be driving over on Tuesdays or Saturdays. Though the sale of :season seats both to Ann Arbor residents and those from out-of-town has been unusually heavy, there are still good seats available for all performances. The season sale will continue through the first week of plays and seats for a single performance are now on sale at the box office. the League.vVv The Washtenaw Country ClubV was the scene of the 5 --- -Sig Ep formal where a really good swing band held forth To Hold Interviews for the dancing and Johnny McCune held forth on the Interviews for positions an the traps for the intermissioners.
