T EIMICHIG.AN DAILY Mimes Meets Music Makers I n Union Today Musicians, Lyric Writers Asked To Submit Samples Of Work For Committee Consideration Musically-minded students, both men and women, interested in work- ing on the music committee for this year's Mimes Union Opera, are urged to drop in between 9:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. today in the Union, Gordon Hardy, Grad., music chairman an- nounced. Those who have composed music and lyrics and who would like to have them considered for the Opera will hand them in at this time, Hardy said, and if they are satisfactory, they will be presented to the central com- mittee for final approval later. While today will not be the deadline for music, Hardy said he hoped that enough will be turned into permit the committee to make the prelim- inary selections immediately. Plot Will Be Discussed 'he plot of the Mimes Opera will be disclosed at this meeting so that those who wish to write music or lyrics will have a better idea concerning just what is expected. Bob Adams, Grad., director of the play, will also be there to talk with the group. Duties of the music committee en- tails more than the composition of music and lyrics, Hardy said, and anyone wishing to work on the copy- ing of music or as lyric writers are more than -welcome to attend the meeting. He stressed that both men and women, regardless of their year in school are eligible for work on the committee. The purpose of this meeting is to give Hardy an idea of just how much music there is for consideration now and how much may be expected. Defense Needs Are Outlined By Dean Lloyd An outline of a defense program for University women was presented by Dean Alice C. Lloyd to the 891 sorority women who attended the sev- enteenth annual Scholarship Ban- quet yesterday in the League Ball- room. The duties of women students in helping to fill defense needs are to maintain healthy bodies and to meet5 the demands of the country for trained workers such as, nurses andk dieticians. They will play a definite part in the present emergency and in post-war reconstruction, Miss Lloydpointed out, as she discussed! the coursesinow being offered by the University in conjunction with the Red Cross. Youth today should not pity itselfI as the "lost generation," but shouldt endeavor to meet the "great chal- lenge" to the educated group to re- build society, she maintained. Virginia Morse, '43, general chair-t man of the Banquet, introduced Reg- istra Ira M. Smith, who presented1 the scholarship award to Delta Gam- ma, recipient for the second succes- sive year.

Well, last weekend, the Chi Omegas gave absolutely the smoothest, the best, the most delightful, the mellowest dance we've ever attended-and no cracks here, please, about how that last phrase cuts down the percentage. Boy, oh boy, what a dance-and if you think this is any kind of a deliberate plug, you're absolutely right. The Lucky Ones s * .

Why not a a good old rousing "Don't Smile Week"? Aren't you sick of smiling faces and raucous laughter? Don't you feel a hearty gag coming on when you see all the toothy grins around you and hear the heart and soul in an empty laugh that booms out after some pro- fessor's anemic pun?

Bird's Nest Soup, Folk Dances Give Michigan Dates Variety By MARGARET AVERY Over half of the 50 girls we inter- viewed on theirhmost original dates were at loss for an answer. Averag- ing two and three years of campus dating, they could also average little better than two or three varieties of campus date. "We always do the same old thing," they admited. "Movies, dances, cokes, maybe a study date once in a while." But the other 25 had ideas that varied from eating. bird's nest soup to feeding peanuts to the campus squirrels. Jane Utley, '43, who met the bird's nest concoction on a Chinese restau- rant date, has also provided variety to some of the traditional dates. She and her escort varied "taking a walk" by punning through the graveyard. They wandered among the markers and tried to outdo each other in puns on the names. "Going to a dance" they gave a new flavor by attending the Union Opera, Soph Prom, and-- two fraternity formals in the same evening. "For a dreamy date sit in the golf course and watch the trains go by," offered by Mary-Jean Szysz, '24, "and there are lots of active dates." She gave for example the time she and her date started playing baseball in the streets with another couple, and ended up with two complete teams. The general opinion was that there are far more facilities for the ath- letically inclined than daters realize. "The WAB folk dances are fun!" said Jane Sargent, '42. Other sug- gestions for the active were supper horseback rides, date night ,at the intramural building for mixed swim- ming, bicycle hikes and roller skat- ing at the rink. "A different sort of double date is badminton at Barbour Gym," sug- gested Lorraine Judson, '43. It offers a refreshing variety for the usual ping-pong tournament. Study dates usually end when the library closes at 10 p.m., and the gen- eral procedure is to dissolve it into a lingering coke date and then dash to the dormitory before the night chaperon flashes the porch light. Varieties of the coke aftermath were offered by June Karker, '44. "We like to splt a banana split," she said, "and sometimes we toast marshmallows." burne. Petitioning For Two WAA Board Posts Will End Tomorrow Petitioning for two WAA board positions, that of Awards manager and Hobby Lobby chairman, will con- tinue today, and until 5 p.m. tomor- row. Any sophomore, junior or sen- ior woman may obtain her petition at the desk in the Women's Athletic Building and turn it in to the same place. Manager of Awards keeps the rec- ords of every University woman who participates in sports throughout the year whether in tournament or club, and then awards are made at the end of the year. Hobby Lobby chairman, a newly created officer, will take charge of the little white house on Palmer Field, where handicraft, leather and metal goods hold sway. Interviewing for these positions will be from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday in the offices of the W.A.B. Alpha Chi Omega announces the pledging of Polly Estes, '45, Spring- field, Ill., and Betty Petley, '45, De- troit. Stand Up Straight Stand tall-line yourself up against a wall or door whenever you get the chance. Lift your chest rather than assume the exaggerated West Point silhouette of shoulders thrust abrupt- ly back. And don't forget to don your best girdle for the all-important occasion. Walk across, the stage before the critical judges with as confident and as natural a stride as is possible to muster under such circumstances. And plaster your face with a smile that would seem to imply that being a' model was a daily occurrence in your life. It's All Eyes On You' A final bit of advice, the store representatives who will be in the Grand Rapids Room of the League from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. tomorrow t pick their models aren't looking for Meeting To Be Held There will be a meeting of the dance class committee at 4 p.m. today in the Undergraduate Office of the League, Betty Johnson, '42, chair- man, announced.
