Orchestra To Present Burlesque
Of Marching Band Formations
At Final Dance Before Exams
The University marching and con-
cert bands will be guests of honor at
Varsity Band Night, to be held from
9:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday in the
Union Ballroom, Bob Templin, '43,
social chairman of the Union, an-
nounced yesterday.
Occupying the bandstand for the
first time, in the absence of Bill
Sawyer, will be Tommy Snyder, '43,
and his ten piece orchestra with Janet
Hummon, '43, as vocalist. Quite ap-
propriately, every member of the or-
chestra has at one time or other
played with the Varsity band and at
present, Snyder, Ed Ostrofki, '42SM,
and Bill Henline, '43SM, are active
members.
Marching Burlesque
Feature of the evening will be a
marching and counter-marching bur-
lesque of the Varsity band performed
by Snyder and his band. Among the
tricky formations to be exhibited will
be a take-off formation of the block
M.
In honoring the Michigan bands,
the Union is recognizing one of the
most outstanding college musical or-
ganiations in the country. Band
members will be admitted free to the
dance by attending in uniform.
No Price Advance
There will be no advance in price
over that of the Union informal week-
end dances, as it is a regular Union
membership dance. Every Union
member is invited.
This is the last major social func-
tion to be sponsored by the Union
beforefinals and besides it's for a
good cause which isn't defense-so
come out and help honor the men of
the marching and concert bands.

Petites Pommes de Terre
Local stories which most dominated the pages of The Daily last week
were the Hobo Hop with its smooth publicity campaign and Tom Thumb
and his smooth articles on songs as inspired by war-time feeling. Both
were quite smooth, except that both the publicity campaign designers and
Tom Thumb decided that they would beat their subjects into submission
by the rote method of presentation.
The Beards Present . .
Many of the more virile-looking males had raised a rousing crop of ex-
tended five-o'clock-shadow, an impulse which they mostly regretted later
.~ if - because it brought back, rather generally, the old
Erhily Post rule of dancing partners staying a Web-
- ster's Dictionary distance away-and not the pocket
size. John Erlewine, who is most noted, perhaps, as
being the exact antithesis of. a 'Seltzer' barn dancer
was, in spirit at least, the most radical person there.
He ,)eat down his inhibitions to the extent of leaving
off his tie for the evening. Just to round off this
/ / ' paragraph, you may report to your excited friends
that he was present with Sue Springer.
Others of the ragged throng were Audrey McLaughlin and Dick Gau-
thier, Bobby Schreck and Royce McKinley, Vickie Mason and Don Folkman,
Hope Tappe and Joe McHale, Mary Tralfa and Ross Levin, Marcia Nelson
and Stan Summers, and Nancy Upson and Jack Henderson.
Outside of the fact that the last scene was a dirty trick on the whole
audience because who of us hasn't a deep-ingrained longing to really clutter
up a room with a bit of Babylonian revelry and who of us hasn't yearned for
a Bacchanale of the calibre exhibited on the stage of the Lydia Mendelssohn
'Theatre last week, "George Washington Slept Here" was a plen-ty successful
comedy. Our favorite bit: Veitch Purdom saying to the kid, Raymond-who
is the type that makes strong men run for cover-"I just can't believe that
you're my sister's child." To which the kid answers with commendable
scepticism, "Who knows?"
Not that they need any additional seal of approval, but just the same,
may we add that Veitch was plenty' sharp in the role of the harassed wife
.and that old Bob, the Reviewer, as we affec-
tionately call him, is slightly full of the old.
guff when he says that Altman wasn't good in
his role. What we're getting at is, he was.
Easy Payments . .
A clothing store in Detroit which has got-
ten its publicity not for the quality of its clothes
but for its advertisement involving someone's ,
struggle with a few boxes, has, we recently dis-
covered, entirely undeservedly acquired its
companion reputation for-shall we put it delicately?-extreme suit models.
The reason is this: There's a store directly across the street from the first-
mentioned establishment that features a thing which they call the Thun-
derbolt. You might call it a suit. And then again you might call it a regret-
table occurrence. The coat has a fly front, egad, and the sleeves are sort of
pleated in huge folds at the shoulder. That's not all, though; the suit also
has trousers, appropriately enough, and they are titled "Swing Rompers"-
Honest! The lines below the caption which announces their title read, "30-
inch knee-15-inch cuff-Slightly exaggerated peg."
All this talk about the suit is not purely for doubtful entertainment
purposes, either. It's instructional-to the Betas. We understand that they're
the lads who know what's up and coming in the clothes field.

men.
While everyone is urged to attend,
groups which have been specially in-
vited are Mosher and Jordan Halls,

Theta, Psi Upsilon, and Sigma Nu.
A popular innovation of this year
Will be continued as members of the
ROTC and the NROTC will accom-
pany the women from the lounge to
the ballroom. As usual the music for
dancing will be furnished by the
nickelodeon. However, the dancing
pleasure of the coke bar attenders
will be heightened by the addition of
twenty-four new records to the
Union's collection.
According to the usual coke bar
custom, cokes, coffee, tea and cookies
will be served on the terrace where
Miss Hood will preside. Women will
be admitted free and men will be
charged a slight admission fee.
