Everyone is invited to don ski pants

an extra pair of socks, pack a lunch
and meet at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow at
the WAB for the Outing Club hike.
The group will hike out Geddes to
the old wind mill but since spring
didn't come soon enough, the hikers
will tramp back to the WAB to eat
their lunch. The hike is designed to
get Outing Club members toughened
up for the all day bike parties, canoe
trips and horseback rides planned
for the rest of the semester.
For those who are coming out for
Outing Club activities for the first
time, Elizabeth Mahlman, '43, chair-
man of the club, advises that warm
but comfortable clothes be worn. Any-
thing that meets these requirements
will be accepted. And, she adds, "It's
better to be half an hour early than
10 minutes late."

Red Norvo Sacrifices His Pony
And Starts On Career In Music

By JEAN GILMER
Red Norvo, who will bring his mus-
ical aggregation to Michigan to play
for the annual Frosh Frolic Friday at
the Union, was literally born into
music!
His birthplace, Beardstown, Ill., is
near the Mississippi, where the river
excursion boats featuring some of
the greatest musicians of the day,
"gave birth to the blues." So Norvo
was brought up on this "river boat
jive" and has become a pioneer in
this type of rhythm.
Pony For Xylophone
It was at a movie house in Rolla,
Mo., where the family moved after
Beardstown was washed away in a
flood, that "Red" received his inspir-
ation to play the xylophone. Fascin-
ated by the antics of a pit musician
pounding away with the sticks, he
went out and traded in his pet pony
to buy his first xylophone.
His professional career began soon
after he had taught himself the
instrument. Abandoning for good
his piano playing, he joined a Chau-
tauqua group as a featured xylophon-
ist, then was with Paul Ash's band,
and finally formed one of his own
in 1928, which opened at a ballroom
in Milwaukee.
After a few months of conducting,
Norvo sold his outfit to Isham Jones,
and, no doubt under parental in-
fluence, returned to the University
of Detroit to complete his higher
education. But he evidently had
music in his blood, for he soon found
himself back in the business, feat-
ured first with Victor Young and
Ben Bernie, and then, for several
years ,as a featured soloist with Paul
Whiteman, the "King of Jazz."
Sextet Clicks
In 1935, however, with swing gain-
ing a foothold, Norvo again organ-
ized his own group, this time to stay.
His original sextet opened at New
York's "Famous Door," where it
clickedsimmediately with swing en-
thusiasts. The group moved on, de-
buted on the CBS swing session, and
followed with a long list of engage-
ments, including the Commodore and
Pennsylvania Hotels in New York, the
Blackhawk Restaurant in Chicago.
Although Norvo pioneered in
swing, he says that his new music,
which he describes as "relaxed
rhythm," expresses the type of music
in demand today: definitely subdued,
it is a soft tempo built around the
"subtle swing" of Norvo's xylophone.

Annual Slide Rule Ball Over-Rules
New Curfew Ruling For Women

By CHARLES THATCHER
Despite a recent ruling to the ef-
fect that curfew for University wo-
men will ring promptly at 12:30 a.m.
Friday nights, dancing couples at the
annual Slide Rule Ball. to be held
March 27 in the Union Ballroom, will
be able to dance from 10 p.m. until
2 a.m. whether or no.
With the advent of the reduced
hours Friday night, alert and far-
seeing Technic staff members, spon-
soring the dance, enlisted the aid of
the famed Prof. W. Edelbritz Schnogg
of the engineering research depart-
ment, who has already made a name
for himself by his plan to graduate
the present senior class in 1938.
Schnogg Submits Plan
After only 13 weeks in his labora-
tory, Professor Schnogg was able to
submit a workable plan whereby
Slide Rule Ball goers might extend
their dancing hours. His recommen-
dation follows:
1. To cope with the confusion
caused by War Time, Standard Time,
Daylight Savings Time and what-
not, a special time will be applied to
the dance, to be known officially as
"Slide Rule Ball Time."
2. This time will be very flexible,
probably one or two hours ahead of
present Eastern War Time, as the
case may be. Hence attending couples
may even dance until three or four
if subsequent action on the part of

The Technic staff results in advanc-
ing the time even further.
3. A clock, preferably one that
runs, will be placed over the band-
stand in the ballroom, so that all
may note the Slide Rule Ball Time
and keep it straight from other less
pleasing time zones.
Professor Schnogg, it will be re-
membered, first won international ac-
claim a month ago when he came
out with a plan for super-daylight
saving time. By putting the nation
back successive hours until the ac-
cumulative lag added up to months
and even years, Professor Schnogg
proposed to get back to 1938 or so
and save valuable time for defense.
To Announce 'Time Chairman'
Technic editor Burr J. French,
'42E, chairman of the dance this
year, reported that another member
would soon be added to the present
dance committee, the new member
to have the title of "time chairman."
In keeping with the "Time" theme,
it was also revealed that the maga-
zine which will decorate the north
end of the ballroom will probably be
appropriately titled "Life," thus
making the Slide Rule Ball time idea
consistent with the decorations.
Teams in the bowling tournament
are urged to have their second match
played off by tomorrow.

Marny Qardner
Is To Direct
Senior Supper
Chosen to lead the women of the
Class of '42, when first they don caps
and gowns at the traditional Senior
Supper to be held March 25 in the
League, is Marny Gardner, '42Ed.
As her committee, Miss Gardner
has selected Patricia Cleary, '42, in

Fariss, '42, publicity, Jean Hubbard,
'42 and Frances Aaronson, '42, tickets.
and Helen Rhodes, '42, will be ini

held for all senior women.
