Fuu and Sweet, Swing, Dreamy Tempos Are Featured By Rising Band Selected In All-Campus Vote "The Cinderella man of swing mus- ic," Bob Chester, has been contacted to play at Soph Prom, which will be held from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. Dec. 13. in the ballroom of the Union, Home Swander, chairman of the music com- mittee, announced yesterday. Tickets for the dance may be pur- chased from 2 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. to- day, tomorrow, or Friday in thelobby of the Union. Theodore Sharp, chair- man of the ticket committee, an- nounced that sophomore identifica- tion cards must be presented for the tickets, which are $2.75. The success story of Chester is one of the most interesting of any of the present day rising swing kings. Mr. Chester attended the University of Dayton, where he starred as pitcher on the baseball team. Though he re- ceived offers from the Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox, music and the tenor saxophone, for which he is so well known, seemed more important and he left baseball to follow his music. Though heir to the fortune of Al- bert Fisher, retired president of the Fisher,Body Corporation and his step- father, Chester has preferred to work hard and achieve his own success. He spent severalhyears with New York bands and then organized his own group. In 1935 he and his new band were engaged at the Detroit Athletic Club for eight months. From that time on, he has climbed until now he is one of the nation's top orchestras, but he continues to be called the cin- derella man of swing music. Previous engagements of Bob Ches- ter and his orchestra have been at the Book-Cadillac Hotel, Detroit; the New Yorker, New York; the Van Cleve, Dayton, and the Adolphus, Dal- las. Chester and his orchestra provide a combination of all the tempos: sweet, swing, and dreamy, and strive to "make you wanna dance." The feat- ure of the band is charming Betty Bradley. The band was selected in an all- campus election which was held last Tuesday when they received 726 votes out of a possible 1,000, showing their great popularity. Chester is a lead- ing recorder at the present time and has recently finished a summer at the World's Fair. The central committee for Soph Prom includes Buck Dawson, Bernard Hendel, William DeCourcy, John Rust, Jeanne Clare, Ruth Willets, Homer Swander, Theodore Sharp. WAA Assists In Winter Fun Skiis, Toboggans May Be Rented By Student Sport Enthusiasts Are you wondering if the snow is going to settle? Have you inspect- ed those heavy woolens that should see another season of slush? Did you revel in yesterday's weather even though it brought the curl down from under your kerchief? Then stop to remember that there are facilities offered by the Women's Athletic Association to help you en- joy your snowy sports to the fullest. Palmer Field has been the baby-pen for many an enthusiastic skiing nov- ice, as more and more' women are realizing that the skiis rented at the WAB are of the very best quality. They are equipped with whole-foot- harnesses, "Very carefully examined by experts," Dr. Margaret E. Bell ap- proved. Ski poles to make the snowy slopes more manageable are also available. When snowball fighting becomes boring, and each of your roommates has a newly washed face, get together in holding down a toboggan that sails the hills with an invigorating dash. These, too, may be rented at the Wo- men's Athletic Building where mixed groups are welcome to take out a to- boggan for the evening's or after- noon's entertainment. { Cracker Madness," a skit in one act and many actions will be one of the features of the matinee perform ance of Sophomore Cabaret to be held from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre, preceding the tea dance which will be jointly sponsored by Sophomore Cabaret and PACI in the ballroom of the League. A solo song and dance by Eleanor Rakestraw and dances by Elaine Ross and Barbara De Fries will be other attractions of the afternoon perform- ance. The original songs "It's All Over Now," "Blue Book Blues" and others will be presented at that time. Mary Lou Ewing will act as commen- tator. The matinee dance which will fol- low the performance in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre will feature the music of Gordon Hardy's orchestra. Bridge tables will be set up around the dance floor and the displays of the local merchants will be set up on the second floor of the League. The admission for the entire afternoon's entertainment will be 25 cents per person. Dick Ebbets, '42, chairman of the PACI Committee, and Mary Pate, chairman of the Sophomore Cabaret Casual Wear Is Suggested In Classroom School has been in session quite a while, but still there are many doubts as to what to wear to classes. One of the many new style ver- sions which can be counted as school attire is the two piece corduroy suit. It is colorful, and its trim tailoring makes it suitable for class wear. The owner of such an outfit has the added advantage of wearing the skirt and jacket separately with another sweat- er or skirt. A matching cap. adds the finishing touch. The winter jumper has been listed as a "must" for the classroom. Its casualness is combined with smart- ness so that if after class you have an informal date you need never worry that you aren't properly attired. Jumper types are as variable as dif- ferent kinds of sweaters, but the most practical kind is the one with the detachable jump top. This kind of jumper top enables you to wear the skirt separately with sweaters. Any tailored blouse of silk, gabardine, crepe, rayon, cotton or jersey can be worn under the jumper. However, all satin blouses are taboo for class- room wear. Sweaters are always the perennial favorite for classroom clothes. Howev- er, certain definite changes have been made in styles and wools. Angora sweaters are fast fading out of the picture. This doesn't seem to be such a bad idea for most coeds know that it is a very dificult task to keep this kind of a sweater in tip top con- dition. Then, too, the angora sheds so easily that the man sitting next to you is very apt to look like a storm of angora had been let fall from the sky. SPORT COATS Casual, warm. Sizes 10 to 20.
