SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, 1941
Le Roy
Twelve-Piece
Colored Band
Features Violin
Traditional Sweater-Skirt Event
To Be Held In League Ballroom
Feb. 21, Helen Barnett States
Helen Barnett, president of Mor-
tarboard, senior honorary society, to-
day announced that LeRoy Smith will
bring his twelve-piece colored band
and its melodic and intoxicating
rhythms to the League Ballroom Feb.
21, to play for Mortarboard's an-
nual informal Pay-Off dance.
The band has created its superior
standing with engagements at the
world-famous Reisen Weber's Para-
dise Roof in New York City, where
it has played for several seasons. It
has just completed an engagement
there. It has also played at Connie's
Inn in New York City, and for the
opening night at the French Casino.
The band has had long runs at the
Park Central Hotel, and it has spent
17 weeks at the beautiful Mayfair
Casino in Cleveland. They co-starred
.in such famous New York colored
revues as "Rhapsody in Black," with
Ethel Waters and "Connie's Hot
Chocolated."
Smith and his men were warmly
received by the students here last
year, when they played for the As-
sembly Ball. This original band has
a distinctive and different style.
Smith is a violinist.
The Pay-Off dance was designed
to give women an opportunity to reci-
procate invitations to J-Hop. Danc-
ing will be held from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.
This informal gathering of students
is in good collegiate style, for the
popular fashion of skirts, sweaters
and saddle shoes will predominate.
This year's dance will be the fourth
annual Pay-Off that Mortarboard
has sponsored, and it seems to be fast
becoming a University tradition. All
students are invited to attend.
Only Two Parties
Planned For Tonight
As Finals Approach
If anybody needs proof that hiber-
nation for that inevitability which be-
gins next weekend, has set in, and
nobody should need proof, the fact
that there are exactly two parties
listed for today ought to prove some-
thing.
There will be an informal radio
dance at the Chi Omega house from
8:30 p.m. to midnight, with Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Steinhiler and Mr. and
Mrs. Fred-Livermore chaperoning the
affair. Alpha Xi Delta has also
planned a radio dance to be held at
the house from 9 p.m. to midnight.
Prof. and Mrs. Charles Brassfield and
Mrs. Mary Bremen will act as chap-
erons for this party.

president of the Katherine Pickerill
Cooperative House last night. Other

Refugee Edwin Franks Tells
Of British Life, War Thrills




By MARGARET AVERY
and
BARBARA de FRIES
"I don't like to spoil your story,"
said blond British refugee Edwin
Franks, '44A, as he settled into a
coke booth, "but I'm really an Amer-
ican citizen!"
The fact that he left America as
a year-old baby accounts for the ap-
parent willingness of England to
spare him from future military obli-
gations for his architectural educa-
tion at Michigan.
Food More Plentiful Here
Food, it seems, is more plentiful
and varied at Chicago House than
at British boarding schols, but less
substantial. Ice cream is considered
a child's dish over there. "But I'm
quite content with the A4nerican
way," he added.
The University students are sur-
prisingly like his British classmates,
Franks finds, although women wear
much heavier make-up, a fact which
he openly deplores. "It may just be
prejudice," he admitted, and would
commit himself no further on Michi-
gan women, for he has had nleither
the time nor the energy to date them.
At first he found a distinctive lack
of American understanding of the
British position in the war. Especially

in the East, he noted the prevalence
of the isolationist view.
Quoting from recent and well cen-
sored letters regarding the war sit-
uation at home, Frank offered,
"Mother she heard - was
going to happen." A recent letter
from a friend whose house suffered
a direct hit, said, "We were hit by
a bomb!" which leaves
marvelous opportunities for specula-
tion.
Describes Blackout
Describing blackouts and raid pre-
cautions before his sailing last May
at the time of Leopold's surrender,
Franks told of a shelter dug by him-
self and the gardener in the back
yard. Though only measuring nine
by six feet, it protected nine people
during a raid. A warbling note of
varying pitch beckons them to shel-
ter, while a single blare relieves the
tension.
"It's amusing to drive during a
blackout," he smiled, recalling the
"light" rations. "But we gradually
became accustomed to all these war-
time restrictions."
With the traditional, level-headed
British attitude toward the dangers
now hovering over entire Europe, he
said, "I'm not worried about my par-
ents or friends. Everything is going
to come out all right!"

At an announcement party at their
home on Saturday, January 18, Mr.
and Mrs. Carrol Barse Haff of Pel-
ham Manor, N.Y., and Black Point,
Conn., announced the engagement
of their daughter, Patricia, '40, to
Maximillian Schoetz, '39E, son of Mrs.
Maximillian Schoetz of Milwaukee,
Wisconsin.
Both Miss Haff and Mr. Schoetz
were prominent while on campus.
She was affiliated with Collegiate
Sorosis sorority, and was a member
of Scroll, and Sigma Alpha Iota, na-
tional music sorority, was chairman
of the transfer orientation commit-
tee her senior year and had one of
the leading roles in J.G.P. He was
a member of Triangles and the Mich-
igan Technic staff during his under-
graduate days, and received his mas-
ters degree in business administra-
tion in 1940.
The wedding of Blance Glisson of
Ann Arbor and Robert H. Edmonds,
'37, of Washington, D.C., took place
on Sunday, Janauary 18, in the par-
ish hall of the Bethlehem Evangeli-
cal and Reformed Church. They will
live in Washington where Mr. Ed-
monds is on the staff of the Labor
and Defense Department.
Noon today will be the deadline
for J-Hop Booth applications, Rob-
ert Collins, of J-Hop booth com-
mittee, has announced.

You Want a GOOD Fur Coat?

Look to Zwerdling's

Surprising how many women tell their
friends "when I want a good Fur Coat
I go to Zwerdling's."
Surprising, too, how reasonably Furs
that are really good can be had at
Zwerdling's regular prices;
Surprising what substantial money can
be saved at January Sale discounts,
without sacrifice of dependability.
