Lists Positions
In Committees
Sweaters, Skirts, Saddles
Are Traditional Dress
For Informal Affair
Saddle shoes will dust off the floor
of the League Ballroom when the
campus women don their pet sweaters
and skirts to "Pay-Off" their dates
at Mortarboard's annual informal
dance to be held from 9 p.m. to 1
a.m. Friday, Feb. 21.
Originally intended as an occa-
sion to say a material "thank you"
to a J-Hop date, Pay-Off has be-
come an opportunity to return the
compliment to all dates. It will, ac-
cording to custom, be held the week-
end after the Hop, however.
Committee Announced
Committees for the dance have
been announced by Helen Barnett,
president of Mortarboard. They are:
Patrons, Jane Krause and Barbara
Fisher; decorations, Margaret Whit-
temore, Florence Signiago and Betty
Lombard; tickets, Jeanne Davis and
Beth Caster; music, Doris Merker
and Betty ,Lyman; favors, Barbara
Dittman, Lee Hardy and Margaret
Van Ess; programs, Betty Stout and
Annabel Van Winkle; publicity, Es-
ther Osser, Elinor Sevison and Jean
Maxted.
Pay-Off Is Tradition
The Pay-Off tradition began in
1938 when Mortarboard conceived
the idea that a dance to which the
women might issue the invitations
might be well-received at this time
of the year. The fact that the idea
became a tradition, with this year's
affair the fourth consecutive one,
has proved popularity of the sweater
and skirt Pay-Off dance.
Marvin Frederic, a Michigan alum-
nus, led the ,band which played for
the 1940 dance. The selection of the
orchestra for this year's affair will
be announced in The Daily at a later
date.
FDR, Jr., On Job
NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-G'P)-Frank-
lin D. Roosevelt, jr., today started his
duties as a $2,100-a-year law clerk
for the firm of Wright, Gordon,
Zachry and Parlin at 63 Wall St.,
a few doors from the office in which
his~ father started his law career
in 1907.

Modern, Old Combined

All Hangovers
To Be Dispelled
At Union Dance
Gordon Hardy's Orchestra
Will Play At Campus
Milk HopThursday
First aid toward shaking off those
peculiar souvenirs inevitably left by
vacations will be administered at the
"Hangover Hustle" from 3:30 p.m. to
5:30 p.m. Thursday in the large ball-
room of the Union.
This will be the first campus milk
dance according to Dick Strain, '42,
social chairman of the Union. Ex-
perts at getting people back into the
swing of the old campus routine are
the 40 hosts and hostesses. The host-
esses will wear little milk bottles as
identification pins, while the hosts
will be recognized by whiskey bottles
on their lapels.
Plans for the dance include novelty
dances with a number of prizes off-
ered. If a dance can resemble a game,
then danco,- a feature of the "Hang-
over Hustle," resembles bingo. There
will also be balloon relay races among
the novelty numbers. The object of
this little brainstorm is to go 10 steps,
blow a balloon up until it breaks, and
so on, relaying the race to its puffed-
out finish.
Playing at the dance will be Gordon
Hardy's orchestra. There will be a
charge of 25 cents for men; women
are to be guests of the Union.
Tickets will be available at the
door Thursday, or during the weel
from members of the Union staff.

This outfit takes a bit of the
atmosphere of grandmother's day,
and, touched up with modernisms
such as the short, full skirt and the
low, tight-fitting bodice, it becomes
something very suitable for after-
,noon affairs in 1941.

fin HIGH TIME!
Special to the Michigan Daily . - . . for Tuesday's edition . .. Aboard
the Wolverine . . . . Satdy eve toward the wee hours of the morn . . .
speeding back against our will to the return of December bluebooks, the
problem of what to do about those unwritten theses that misunderstanding
professors are demanding we submit to their approval this week, and the
ever-pleasant thought of returning to those terrific
cram sessions which will precede the nasty investi-
gations called finals, to be held literally the first j
of next month , . . 25 more days to be exact.
Yes, we had a super wonderful vacation . . . . No
we didn't open a book . -". . No, we didn't get a
bit of rest either . . . . anything else? ....Yes, peo-
ple kept asking if we knew Harmon.. . The co-
operative conductors have dimmed the lights on the
train . . . . MUCH of the incessant noise has ceased . .out PiE AN-
TONELLI and MORT JAMPEL have engaged a wandering artist and
lonesome schoolteacher in a discussion as to the merits of science and
religion . . . . no, we aren't against intellect but we would adore getting
in tuch with Morpheus at this point . . . . MORT, of course, is trying
to ferget his weeping goo-bye at Grand Central but even so . . . - PRIS-
CILLA BEHR and DAN RANNEY are adding to the steady hum with
low conversation that just won't carry over to us but FRANCES and MARJ
ALLEN are more in sympathy with the idea of quiet hours and are sit-
ting in reverie about their vacation at New Haven.
Finially Got Some Shut-eye
The atmosphere finally quiets down . . . . peace . . . . sleep . . . . and
then EMMETT ALTMAN interrupts our dream that we had been drafted
and, gosh, but it wasn't half bad .- . . all those men in uniform . . . . and
then what but the University Hospital pops in our face and then we knew
- .. ..yes, we knew 'twas Ann Arbor all over again. . ,. in
a quick flash, like they say a drowning man experiences,
- our RESTFUL vacation days paused in front of our brain
and then passed into the dust forever .... but meeting
GUY METRAUX while haunting the Great White Way
and missing the invitation to PEG WISEMAN'S Michi-
gan Party we jot down here for posterity . . . . with no
charge .. .
Continued at The Daily at 6 p.m. Monday . . . first
sights back here, where students exist for the most part
in blissful awareness of anything but campus life, were
PAT LOUGHEAD and JOHNNIE ELDRIDGE forming
a New Year's resolution ... . and then who almost bumbs
into our cab but PAT'S sister SALLY with PAUL COS-
PER ... . JEAN SHINNICK was stumbling along de-
vouring a telegram that looked like it contained the
r'right thing for she was all aglow .... we were happy too,
but not for long when our envy dame to the front....
if you doubt its cause only one look at DAVID ZEITLIN
and BOB MERRIMAN will give you the reason .... the
Florida sun certainly was kind to them . . . yeah, you
guessed it . . . . they journeyed to the southland to keep
the swimming team company with pictures .....
Mucu Local Talent Went South .. .
We heard STAN BOTWINIK visited Mexico in company with his mother
and that BETTY FARRIS saw her new home for the first time and had
an army good time at San Antonio far down at Texas . . . DOT RYBOLT
and LOUISA PENNY were among the Michiganites keeping warm under
the Miami sun . . . but that wasn't enuf to end . . . BOB COHEN flew
down and received a crisp burn while swimmers BILL HOLMES, FRAN
HEYDT, and BLAKE THAXTR, all 1940 grooms, enjoyed the sunshine
with their wives . . . GRACE PROCTER told us she looked over things at
Raleigh, N.C., while there primarily to watch her brother Winchellit at
the altar .
Flint reports that arrived over the ticker indicated that ANN HERZOG
deserted her home territory for better things and went to visit MIM WEN-
DELL at Grand Rapids where she dated JACK ADAMS . . . a lot said in
one breath . . . in asking about what was doing in Ann Arbor town, while
all us furriners deported ourselves, was informed that the New Year's Eve
dance at the Union was the gala event with ANN VICARY and BOB
MERCER back to the old stompin' ground as well as IVAN CUTHBERT,
DORIS DICKASON, GINNY LINDENMUTH and JACK FRAZIER wel-
coming in that nude little man we named 1941 . . . And now that we've
come to the end of the paper we beg to be different and swear . . . no
more resolutions . . . we're in the same rut we were in last year at this
time so what's the use . .
