Quest To Open
For Michigan's
Singing Coed
. Registration For First Audition
To Be Today, Monday; Contest'
Sponsored By Hour Of Charm
Registration for the preliminary
auditions which are being held in the:
contest to discover a coed who can
sing will be at 3:30 p.m. today and
Monda:# in the offices of the School of
Music. To the Michigan coed who
'can tenderly warble such old favorites
as "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes," the
Hour of Charm, a radio program feat-
uring an all-girl orchestra, is offer-
ing a $1,000 prize as well as a chance
for a career in radio.
The University of Michigan has
been selected as one of the fo colleges
throughout the country in which to
conduct a search for talent, as the
Sunday evening radio show is bunt-
ing for possible new vocalists. After
a seriesof audiions the 10 finalists
will appear on the Show, one singing
each week, and the three final win-
ners will each receive a $1,000 award..
Auditions To Be Held
Preliminary auditions, open to any
Michigan woman and not necessarily
a music student, will begin immedi-
ately so that the 10 women may be
selected to sing Oct. 15 at the Lydia
Mendelssohn Theatre in the Univer-
sity contest. .
This local elimination, to be
judged by members of the music fac-
ulty and Vivien, now vocalist with the
all-girl orchestra, will narrow tie
selection down to ore singer, who
will represent Michigan by appear-
ing on the Hour of Charm show Sun-
day, Nov. 16.
$1,000 Is Pri
Contestants will be judged on the
basis of "voice quality, poise, per-
sonality, and general aptitude for a
successful radiol career."
To the Michigan winner will be
paid travelling expenses to and from
the origin of the broadcast as well as
a $100 award, Should she be chosen
after this broadcast for a return en-
gagement as one of the three fin-
alists, the $1,000 prize will be hers.
Each of the three women must agree
to appear if asked on a third broad-
cast with no compensation othr than
expenses."
Scholarship Is Offered,
if a Michigan coed is the ultimate
winner-tht is, if she is selected to
appear this third time, the University
will be awared $4,000 in the form of
a four-year scholarqhip or fellowship
to be administered for the benefit of
any deserving students.
So if you tihink you have. a voice,
the kind that's good for more than
torch singing, then practice up on
such old stand-bys as "Home On the
Range," "Carry Me Back to Old Vir-
ginny" and "Only A Rose"; 'take a
chance and /exercise thqe vocal
chords for the judges'.
You Don't Like Hats?
Then Let's Substitute
.Feel that cold wind settling down
around your ears? How about put-
ting something''atop that curly hair
to keep you warm? Now wait, we
know you hate hats on campus ifi
you're a typical, Michigan gal, but
there are lots of new llittle gadgets
out which make charming substi-
tutes.

To Priorities

}

By BARBARA de FRIES
Last year, one of our more gullible
members df the Fourth Estate came
fcrth with a tidbit on the women's
page telling all about the all-brass,
wood-burning steam caliope that was
going to be installed in the tinion,'
The exact spot on which this fugi-'
tive from a circus was to stand was
even described-oh hum, the bliss of
ignorance. Then-after that spec-
tacular announcement-silence, com-
plete. and .unabridged. And now be-
cause some happy people just won't
let the thing die, Bill Sawyer has
been pestered with requests concern-
ing the whereabouts of this unearthly
contraption.
A press conference was called, A.?.
machines installed in the Union and
it's out-"in an official communique
from the undergraduate offises of the
Michigan Union it is hereby stated
that due to the national defense pri-
orities on brass, material to construct
the caliope can not be obtained."
"This unfortunate news," the com-'
munique moans, "came even after ex-
tensive preliminary work had been
done' An experienced brass-polisher
was already hired to insure continual
brilliance to the caliope's all-brass
boiler and now we have to fire him."
Unable to go on, the official eom-
muinique disbanded it communica-
tier, thus putting the final kibosh on
it.
Anyhow-it's a good thing they can
blame it on the defense and maybe
we should be indebted to the defense,
cause after all it would sound pretty
awful.

omore year.

education are qualified to teach both

Dutch cap we saw, with the stream-
ing red pigtails attached to the
sides? There's another little number
made of braided felt in all colors
and acrpss the back are heavy
fringes in the same colors of felt.
It's warm and it'll look Sharp with
a bright ,jerkin and skirt.
For dress there's a little round
black hat that goes right up into\ a
startling peak just where the crown
should be. It lends an elfish look to
any costume.
It is stimated that defense ex-
penditures will total about 20 bil-
lion dollars in 1942.
