Senior Society To Present Jingling jives' Dec. 'Come-Across' Dance To Have Miller's Band Ballroom Will Be Transformed Into Frosty Outdoor Scene; Bell, Note Favors To Be Given A frosty outdoor scene, "snow" re- flecting colored lights from decorated evergreens-this will be the setting for "Jingling Jives," the annual As- sembly come-across dance to be. pre- sented by Senior Society from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., Dec. 12, in the League ball- room. Tiny bells will be given out as fav- ors to every girl, and *ie musical notes frozen in the wintry scene will have bell shaped bases. Herb Miller and his band, dressed as a tribe of plump Santas, will play from be- neath a snow-decked canopy. To Guess At Pennies This is "girl's bid" dance, and a chance for women with an eye to Christmas bargains to y.ay off their social indebtedness. Two jars of new pennies, one each to be set up in the window of Wahr's bookstore and at Sophomore Cabaret, will give an op'. portunity for two couples to win free tickets by guessing the number most nearly correct of all guesses submit- ted. Announcement of the winners will be made Dec. 9 following a week of exhibition of the jars. Tickets will be sold to women through members of Senior Society', but a special opportunity for ticket purchase will be opened when 4 ticket selling Santa Claus roams the campus Dec. 8. For five years the come-across dance has been in the hands of a committee chosen from Assembly. In order to avoid the usual delay of pe- titioning and interviewing for the central committee positions, Senior Society this year offered to take charge of the dance. To Feature "Jingle Bells" Rosebud Scott, president of Senior Society, is acting as general chair- man of the dance. Assisting her are Jean Krise, vice-president; Donna Baisch, secretary, and Pearl Brown, treasurer. Emilie Root is in charge of decorations. A special arrangement of "Jingle Bells" with words written by Donna laisch will be offered at the dance. Herb Miller is also working on a medley of Christmas carols. Hillel To Hold P.M. Special guests at the weekly "P.M." sponsored by Hillel Foundation from 4 p.m. to 6. p.m. today will be 1402 Hill St., 825 E. University, Sigma Alpha MtU and Zeta Beta Tau. Records, classical and popular, ping-pong, bridge and dancing as well as refreshments will be included in the afternoon's entertainment. f foumn .f..if 6qA What with the applause of Union Opera. fans dependent in part upon leading lady Lana Carter (alias Dick Rawdon)'s figure, the feminine star! of "Full House" has gone on a diet! Opera director Bob Adams decreed 10 pounds off before opening night, Dec. 9. Bob says he was serious; Dick! says he's taking him seriously. So far two pounds have gone the' way of all flesh. Dick calls it system- atic reducing and here's the system: he either eats half his breakfast or he doesn't eat it at all if he happens to have an 8 o'clock. No particular breakfast-just whatever happens to be served. "Sugar in my coffee? . . . Certainly," says Dick. He claims he's just working up to the stage of leav- ing that out. Glamour Vs. Lunch For lunch, Dick eats half of what he'd eat ordinarily, or he eats an en- tire lunch one day, then skips the noon meal entirely the next day. In 'fact he says he's been going without lunch "quite frequently." For dinner?
