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. T __ - ," ____ __ I] N~ews Underfoot! I Our Crepe-Soled SADDLE Welcome for winter wear! Thick, spongy sole to keep you high and dry. In white elk with brown sad- dle. Rubber-soled saddles in brown with white or white with brown or 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 ,ickets assisted by members of Sen- i6r Society, the sponsors of the in- formal pre-holiday swingout at the League. Herb Miller, his orchestra, and his soloist, Ginny Allen, have prepared special arrangements of holiday mu- sic and the current dance tunes. Special favors will be presented to all guests attending the dance, it was announced by the committee headed by Betty Walker, '42. 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 I 4.95 black.

(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.
