Club 7-11 Calls
For Final Fling
At Study, Fun
For a real final fling at study and
fun too, 7-11 Club sponsors are sug-
gesting a compromise week-end eve-
ning of library study until closing
time at 10 p.m. followed by two or
three hours of relaxing bridge, danc-
ing, arid cokes in the club quarters,
the Grand Rapids room of the
League.
The 7-11 will be open from 8 p.m.
to 1 a.m. today and tomorrow, as
well as both Friday and Saturday
evenings next week-end, according
to Louise Keatley, '42, publicity
chairman for the project. Guests
are reminded that an entire new set
of the latest recorded tunes have
made their appearance on the nick-
elodeon since the new year. Tables
will be set up for cards, and the same'
fountain service made available that
is offered in the League Grill.
The Club also provides an ideal
stopping place for a bite to eat and
a dance or two before going home
after the last show.

Four Groups I
Will Present
Annual Show
Carl Miller, Detroit Composer
And Pianist To Play Own Music;
Gornbien To Do Solo Numbers
The University Dance Club's Win-
ter Program will give Ann Arbor au-
diences one of their few opportuni-
ties to watch a dance presentation
as the curtain goes uP on the annual
performance at 8:30 p.m. today in the
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.
Under the direction of Miss Ruth
Bloomer of the physical education
department, a cast of 50, comprised
of members of the Dance Club, the
ballet group, Play Production Dance
Group, and the intermediate dance
class, will combine talents in a pro-
gram devoted to both new dancel
creations and revivals from past pro-
grams.
Glee Club To Sing
One half of the program will be
devoted to a presentation of "Hanel
and Gretel," which is to be uer-
formed also for the Children's The-
au~re series. The Women's Glee Club,
under the direction of Donna Baisch,
'41SM, will participate in this part
of the presentation with three chor-
us' sung off-stage.
Stanley Lock, '42, who arranged the
opera music into danceable form,
will have a small orchestra under
his direction for the program.
The club will dance to two of the
compositions of Carl Miller, young
Detroit pianist and composer. Miller,
who studied at the Bennington School
of Arts under Louis Horst and Nor-
man Lloyd, will play the music for
both these dances.
Gornbein To Do Solo
"Fanfare," one of Miller's composi-
tions, will take the form of a solo
by Joseph Gornbein, '41. Gornbein
will also do his own interpretation
of John Malcolm Brinnin's "Evening."
Brinnin's poem will be read by David
Rich.
Included in the program will be
"Berceuse," from Strawinsky's "Fire-
bird Suite," with original choreogra-
phy by Sarah Graf; waltzes "Nobel"
and "Sentimental" of Ravel; and a
revival from the 1940 Drama Series:
the sheep-shearing scene of Shake-
