Petites Pommes dek T1erre
We have just the slightest suspicion that after a look at yesterday's-
what we might call, and not be too maudlin-tragic front page, there won't
be a great many interested or othe\wise readers of a column called Petite
Pommes de Terres. ' (And let's not have any raucous snarls of "Who said
anyone ever read it?")
However, we must b
e gay, we've read somewhere, and since most of you
will feel that you must have your social news, here
it is, you lucky people.
So phs And The 'Cab' . .
First of all, there was a gay bit of something or
00 other over at the League which was known as the
Sophomore Cabaret. It was a great deal of music
T r and a dash of floorshow and a couple of-roulette
wheels surrounding a perfectly wonderful bunch of
singers who call themselves the Psurfs.. And they, alone, were worth the
price of admission. Invite them all up for a beer or something, sometime, and
ask them to sing the one about Samson and Delilah, featuring "Delilah"
Sinner.
Other Couples .
Santa Claus is shown sharpening his sales technique on Elizabeth
Luckham, '42 in order to be in fine shape to sell Jingle Jive tickets today.

Santa Claus will appear on campus
today to sell tickets to Jingle Jive,
traditional Christmas dapce to be
held from 9:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday
in the ballroom of the League.
Mr. Claus will vend his coveted

i6r Society, the sponsors of the in-
formal pre-holiday swingout at the
League.

soloist, Ginny Allen, have prepared
special arrangements of holiday mu-
sic and the current dance tunes.

all guests attending the dance, it was
announced by the committee headed

The League Ballroom will be dec-
orated in traditional holiday fashion
with a theme of red and white and
holiday greens.
Tickets may be procured from any
members of Senior Society. They will
be identified on campus by red bells
in their lapels.Each afternoon be-
ginning tomorrow tickets may also be

Still others were Louise Keatley and "Whitey" Fraumann, Obie Elser 'b

Chan Simonds, Connie McLeary and Curly Petach, Marge Green and Mike I
Howitt, Gail Doyle and Mort Hunter, Joan Whitig and Ed a
Perlberg, and Suki Scheffer and John Sisson. \
Alpha Phi also engaged in varied activities on Satur-
day night, among which, one was a pledge formal which o
everyone got to eventually. (If the Alpha Phis are feeling
sensitive this morning they may refer this to our authority,
La Gilmer.) Jeanne Crump and Chuck Townsend, Olga
Gruhzit and Moose Ahlheim, Mary Spaeth and Bill Step-
pon, Jackie Glair and Hank Fielding, Martie Piersol and *
Bill Steen, and Jo Ann Peterson and Larry Bartell were
all around.
Recent Press Release . .
All the momentous events which are hitting the \
headlines every minute of the day, at this time, make us
think of an extremely vital press release which hit the
offices of The Michigan Daily recently.
It is headed, in breathless capital letters, "For Immediate Release! Ah,
we think, some important comiunique from Berlin-or at the least, a report
on the scarcity of foodstuffs in France during these winter months! We
read..
Pigtails Are Vital' . .
"College coeds from Maine to California are braiding their hair inp coun-
try cousin" pigtails, agents reported today ... pigtails did away with the
long bob and started the fad for feather fluffs and baby bobs. Earrings
worn with braids make the gals a glamour version of the Indian Squaw and
are rated "in the know."
"Orson Welles, Wendell Willkie and the Dodgers head the list of favor-
ite personalities," this vibrating bit of news continues. "The long jerkin is
the most borrowed item at Simmons College in Boston, and pin-collecting is
the favorite hobby at Mount Holyoke."-And, we might add, basket-weaving
is the favorite Occupational Therapy pastime out at Eloise.
The communication includes many other tremendously important pieces
for which we haven't space. There are dashes of news from Barnard College
which tell us that "painting eyeglass rims in gay polka dots or plaids is a
super campus stunt" (Sheer nausea in print, if we ever heard it.)-And the
University of Iowa reporter for the agency advises that "shiny white saddle
shoes are high style on campus. The casual smudgy ones sported last year
are "dead chicken." Most fashion copy is a hard dose to swallow anyway.
as far as we're concerned. We are particularly bitter after looking over reams
of Christmas supplement material, most of which invariably began, "Well,
Christmas is almost upon us-".
But it takes a war to make the whole fashion business look paranoiac.
Coke Bar, Postponed Meeting To Be Held
There will be no coke bar at the A compulsory meeting of house
Union today due to tne Bob Westfall presidents will be held at 5 p.m. to-
Banquet, it has been announced from
