Rigor Mortis, the galloping Ghoul, will be master of the ghostly cere- monies at the informal dance which will be held from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., Fri- day, Dec. 6 in the ballroom of the Union. j Bill Sawyer's orchestra will play foi the fantastic frolic, and the eerie strains of his music will be heard over Station WJR from mid- night to 12:30 a.m. Decorations for the party will fol- low the gruesome tone which the par- ty will strike. Pearly gates, black drapes, eerie tapers will all add to the sordidness of the spectacle, Mortis explained. The contents of the large coffin which will be placed in the middle of the dance floor were not disclosed. The fee of admittance to this eve- ning of horrors will be $1.25. All stu- dents, whether members of Congress or not, are dared to attend.

Detroit Association Will Give Yule Ball The first of a series of annual dances will be given from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., Friday, Dec. 6 by the Detroit Association of University of Mich- igan Women. The Yule Ball, as the party is being styled, will be held in the grand ballroom of the Statler Hotel and will be open to students and alumni. Gene Fenby's orchestra will play for dancing while there will be ta- bles for bridge for those who do not wish to dance. Admission per couple will be $1.50. Mrs. Kenneth Koppitz is heading the committee in charge of the affair. f eal er 9 ", Il Ci ' l With the coming of the snows, Ann Arborites take up another discussion -do you like this weather, or do you not? Very probable it is that those who do like it know how to keep warm, and those who don't, have spent too many a cold winter to look forward to what is coming. To those who haven't succeeded in repelling chill winds, may the question be asked-is vanity keep- irg you in the cold? If so, it's silly. Anyone can be warm and beautiful. There are beautiful but warm coats, and, for you who already have winter coats, there are a thousand- fold (well, nearly that many) ac- cessories that tell the same story. Among them are the most varied headgear. From warm South Ameri- ca comes this frost-chaser, an adap- tation of the Peruvian chullo. They are bright knitted bonnets that are pulled down over the ears. Triangu- lar tabs flap out on each, side to make them look much like a Dutch cap, and the pointed crown is either left up or pulled down to one side or the front. Kerchiefs can be the neatest, smartest things if care is taken of them. They should match some part of the outfit. If you have a big shawl that will fall lower than regular kerchiefs, throw one corner of it over the opposite shoulder for a dashing effect. For campus have the shawl of wool, for evening, of silk. When feet get numb, there's a .rmedy. It's a rubber or suede shoe- ioot. zipped up the front, fleece lined and with sheepskin cuffs. The effect is bulky, sort of Mongolian and very attractive. With the shortness of skirts nowadays, it is definitely not oo heavy looking. News in gloves is colorfully dyed lamb's wool backs with leather palms. The cold just can't get through thick boxing gloves. And for evening wear, long gloves can again be taken up. Most have stopped using them because they're such a struggle to get into. Now, in glamorous black or jade green, elbow length evening gloves have a cuff as wide as a Canadian Moun- tie's gauntlet, but the edge is all gilt to make it look less practical. To keep the body warm, jerkins are right. Wool or knit ones adorn either date dresses or skirt and blouse outfits. If you have a short warm coat, some very attractive flannel slips can be worn under skirts to keep the lower half of you as warm as the top. And sweaters have now reached into every corner of the feminine wardrobe to be chosen on every occasion that pops up in the twenty-four hours. Some women just aren't for things that come close around the face. They want to stick to hats in the snow. But what to do about your hair getting wet and scraggly? Sunshine, Inc. Will Be Scene Of Displays Sophomore Cabaret To Feature Exhibits Of Local Merchants Friday and Saturday Evenings Christmas gift and holiday apparel problems will dissolve under the bright light of "Sunshine, Inc." Fri- day and Saturday, when forty Ann Arbor merchants set up exhibits of their merchandise at the annual Sophomore Cabaret. Four separate rooms will accommo- date displays of formal attire. sports wear, seasonal gifts, and miscella- neous mechanical devices. Profes-, ional saleswomen and sophomorej amateurs will show patrons articles on display or advise them on thei: suitability as gifts. Corsages On Display Everything from the flower that tops those campus curls at Soph Prom to the evening wrap to be wcrn at home during a freezing New Year's Eve, to the corsage that rests against the shoulder of the J-Hop chairman's partner will be on dis- olay in the "Formal Room". The daintiest sweaters and the bulkiest hooded ski suits will all be ncluded in the special features of the "Sport Chamber." Radios Exhibited Radios, portable and otherwise, along with typewriters, lamps, and other mechanical devices, will be in the Miscellaneous Room, while small- er gifts will have a separate hall to themselves. To revive "Our College Days" when the year 1999 has made them fade, a voice recording or a snapshot taken at the Cabaret will accomplish the trick. These concessions, along with others, will each have their special booths, Parliamentary Law Course To Be Given The first meeting of the three-hour course in parliamentary law to be sponsored by Mortarboard and open to all junior and senior women will be held at 4 p.m. today in the Grand Rapids Room of the League. Mrs. Fred Dunham will be guest speaker. The following meetings will be held at the same time on Thursdays, Dec. 5 and Dec. 12 in the same place. The purpose of these lectures is to provide women with information which is valuable in the conduction of self- governing organizations both in and out of school.

By GRACE MILLER Mimes' "Take A Number" bringsf ut the professional flair in campus, ongwriters with the same efficiency ith which it gives not only femin-l pity, but glamour, to our rugged Aichigan men. Union Opera's song crew has to e both aesthetic and trouble shoot- rs; some of the work is art, and some f it, while not less pleasing, springs .rom plain necessity Ken Summer- elt. Grad., and Russ Berg, '42, writer ndividually, while Gordon Hardy, '41, nd Charles Bowen, '41, are recog- ized as a team. Song Title Is Theme The title song, "Take A Number," written by Bowen and Hardy, will carry out the theme of the opera, beating out the rhythm of riotous and painless education in a college of the future. Sweeter but definitely modern is "A Dream and I Went Walking," by the same team. Other numbers are "Saddle Shoe Shuffle," "Alone Again," "Dean's Dance" and "Lawyer's Hillel Will Sponsor Annual Winter Frolic Dec. 7 In League Hillel members will dance at the annual informal Winter Frolic from 9 p.m. to midnight Saturday, Dec. 7, in the League Ballroom to the music of Max Grosman's orchestra. Admission will be free' to couples presenting one Hillel membership card and their University identifica- tion cards, Laura Katzenel, f '4lEd., chairman of the dance, declared. Ad- mission to students who are not mem- bers of the Hillel Foundation will be $1.25. Flowers will be sold at the dance and the proceeds of the sale will be sent to the Jewish National Fund, philanthropic organization. Other members of the committee planning the dance are Mim Rubin, '41, flower chairman and Charlotte Kaufman, '43, and Sylvia Casper, '42, who are co-chairmen of the patrons committee. Mimes Opera Draws Talent From Campus Songwriters Dance." Most of the songs were writ- ten on special assignment for the opera. Last year's opera, "Four Out of Five," featured five Bowen-Hardy songs. among them "I'm in Love with a Dream,' which is now played at the Union by Bill Sawyer as part of his regular dance program. Song May Be Tradition Holding a sentimental spot in the 'opera, Summerfelt's drinking song, "To Michigan." bears about as much resemblance to the rafter-raising stein song as a minuet does to the shag. Because it is felt that this song may become one of the tra- ditional Michigan songs, a special place was made for it, according to Bill Slocum, '42, publicity chairman of the opera. Another sentimental spot in the production is Summerfelt's "Your Page in My Mem'ries is Blue," which will be sung by Chan Pinney, '41, who has the leading role. "The Mythical Male from Yale" is a hilarious song that ought to appeal especially to the Alpha Phis, Summerfelt thinks. "Michigan Memories," from last year's opera is another one of Sum- merfelt's compositions. He is a stu- dent in the music school, and plays in ;he Michigan band. It was his ar- rangement of "Summertime" that was played by the band for Varsity e~ight. 4 THE PRESENT AND TIE FUTURE TODAY think abut the added beauty that flowers will give to your rocrns . . . the pleasant ex- citement an unuisual corsage or plant will cause. . .ordler now for this week-end. TOMORROW think about what a really welcome Christmas gift plants and flowers make . .. plan ahead to send some home as the time draws near. FLOWER SHOP 203 E. Liberty Phone 2-2973 CHARLOTTE CLEARY Wear it in a roll pinned just below the edge of your hat. Very little of it gets wet, and when its combed cut it's curly and dry. Another hint-let this first snow act as a warning to get out hand and face creams,-for chapped and red skin never yet has helped loveliness. Coats of lambs' wool, sometimes known as British llama, makes won- derfully warm coats that extend up into hoods. Fur coats too climb above the shoulders to develop hoods to keep wind away from the neckline. Best Dressed Coed of the Week is Charlotte Cleary, '43, who is keeping warm in a silver fox jacket. Flowers balance just over her forehead, and the gown, decorated with a design of small, wooden beads on pockets and neckline, is silver-green. 1.
