Banquet Theme
Highlights Of Dinner Will Be
Revelation Of 'Who Is What',
Songs From 'Jumping Jupiter'
Bearing the slogan of "'42 has lots
to do," senior women will dine at
6:30 p.m. March 25, in the League
ballroom at their traditional Senior
Supper before the initial perfor-
mance of the 1942 JGP is given in
,their honor in the Lydia Mendelssohn
Theatre.
Banquet theme this year will be
quite different from predious yearsI
in order to be in keeping with the
times, Marny Gardner, '42, chairman,
announced. "The women who go out
of this class will enter a different
kind of world, and will take impor-
tant jobs in defense and in home
lines," she added.
Women To Attend JGP
After being wined and dined, the
Class of '42 will troupe through the
League and end up in the Lydia Men-
delssohn Theatre to hiss and boo and
cheer, as the case may be, at the
Class of '43's "No Questions Asked."
Honored guests with first floor
seats, the senior women will dele-
gate the first few rows to the nurses,
because ofntheir importance in na-
tional defense. The will form a white
block against the black of the mortar
boards and gowns of the rest of the
class.
Announcements Planned
One of the highlights of the din-
ner will be revelation of 'who is what'
-or the public announcement of
being pinned, engaged or married, by
the respective acts of taking straight
pins, sucking a lemon or blowing out
a candle.
During the banquet, songs from
"JUmpin'Jupiter" and a song written
especially for presentation to the
juniors and .to be sung before the
curtain goes up will be rehearsed.
After the dinner, and, on the way
to the Theatre, '42 women will sing
songs from their Greek presentation
of last year, and will also present
skits taken from their production be-
fore the first performance of the
1942 JGP.
Announcement of ticket sales and
purchase of caps and gowns will be
made in the near future, Miss Gard-
ner said.

'War-Tuned' Wardrobe EnI sts
Efficiency And Attractiveness
t
! J
Efficiency ! There can be no more timely noun for our times and this
word must be reflected in our choice of clothes for' the coming period. To-
day, our wardrobe must be as stalwart as our efforts.
Gabardine is ever a basic material and an entire ''high, efficiency"
wardrobe can be built around one good gabardine suit such as the one
pictured above.
* This sleek suit comes in a galaxy of colors-pastels which rival the
rainbow-but, again, for greatest wear throughout the year, a more basic
color is suggested, such as beige. Bright notes can be achieved in many
ways-a candy-striped blouse is as effective as it is fresh and spring-like.
Vary the suit with various blouses-immnaculate white, bright red or kelly
green--one shiny lapel pin will dregs up this suit enough for almost any
occasion. A contrasting top coat of the same material will provide you
with a more-than-substantial nucleus for a "war-tuned" wardrobe.
FEver a classic and always in style is the glen plaid suit, also pictured
above. Distinct in the fact that the skirt is pleated all the way around to
flatter your figure, this suit, made up in- the British tweeds, will last and
last. A new twist to the old story of an ascot worn with a classic suit is
to jab a jeweled pin into the middle of the ascot instead of wearing it on
the lapel. Suits seem to be the perfect answer to the necessity of clothes
which will bear variation, be appealing and attractive always, and wear
like the proverbial iron.

'Peg' Sanford Goes To Capital,
Is Entertained At White House
By JEAN CORDELL
It seems that Margaret Sanford,
'42, president of the League and gen-
erally known as "Peg," has just re-
turned from hobnobbing with Sena-
tors, Representatives and Mrs. Roose-
velt, no less, when she attended a
conference last week in Washington,
D. C., on the "Future of Government
Youth Organizations."
Fifty-five college editors and stu-
dent body presidents were called to-
gether to Washington to be shown
how certain government bodies are
working in education now, and to dis-
cuss the possibility of improving
them during the present crisis. Mich-
igan, as represented by Miss San-
ford, was as far west as the confer-
ence included, the rest came from
eastern and southern states.
Luncheon At White House
Luncheon at the White House with
Mrs. Roosevelt as speaker, tea at the
Henry Morgenthau home, hearing a
session of the House, and trips
through all of the important places
in the capitol, were included in Miss
Sanford's itinerary.
Discussion groups and visits to the
Senate Committee on Education and
Labor, the Selective Service Head-
quarters and the Office of Education
were also part of the program spon-
sored by the Washington Student
Service Bureau, to* say nothing of
visits to the newest Art Gallery and
eating at Child's at the table next
to Admiral Byrd's (not sponsored by
the Bureau.)
In the discussion groups, the col-
lege representatives heard talks on
Confirmation Class
the possibility of government finan-
cial support for schools speeding up
their programs for the duration, and
also talks and discussions on the ad-
visability of enlistment in the army.
Town Is Crowded
Miss Sanford's opinion of Wash-
ington as viewed by an outsider is
"that the town is terribly crowded.
It's almost impossible to get a hotel
room, and the Union Station is al-
ways so full of soldiers that it looks
as though a troop train has just
pulled in. I'd also like to say that,
although I am a Republican from
way back, I found Mrs. Roosevelt to
be without doubt one of
charming and intelligent
have ever seen."

On Open Sale
Complete Sell-Out Is Expected
For Annual Slide Rule Ball
Thirty-count 'em!-30 tickets for
the annual Slide Rule Ball, to be
held Friday, March .27, in the Union
Ballroom, will be available at the
Union desk starting today, Ball
Chairman Burr J. French, '42E, has
announced.
And lest prospective customers
think that's a good many and put
off buying their ticket, French also
revealed that 320 tickets were sold
the first two days of sale, and that
The Technic staff, sponsoring the
annual engineering dance, expects a
complete sell-out by the end of to-
day.
Although the dance is primarily for
engineers, the ticket sale is now be-
ing opened to the campus at large
after two days of exclusive sale, as it
is felt that most engineers interest-
ed in going have already purchased
their tickets.
Bunny Berigan, claimed by many
to be one of the greatest trumpet
players of the world, will supply the
music for the dance, dancing hours
to be from 9 p.m. until 1 a.m. Uni-
versity women may get late permis-
sion.
In selling 330 tickets in only two
days, the Slide Rule Ball has prob-
ably set a new record in ticket sales
for campus dances.

planning their formal dance to be
held next Saturday. Evelyn Kuivin-

dance, now announces that the
"Damsels in Defense" dance will be
preceded by a buffet supper for the
women and their guests. What with
defense playing such an important
part in our daily lives the committee
has unselfishly decided to have it a
radio dance and to purchase a defense
bond with the money that would for-
merly have been spent on an or-
chestra.

Make Radio Programs Possible
'Behind The Scene' Shows That
Slap-Happy, Hair Tearing Time
Is Enjoyed By All Producers
By BERYL SHOENFIELD
We of the radio aucl4ence little
understand, as we listen to programs
emanating from Morris Hall, what
has first taken place to make these
shows possible.
Of prime importance is the crea-
tion of the scripts, and particularly
are original ideas needed for serials.
A little scene, witnessed in studio
B, will illustrate how ideas for new
broadcasts originate:
It all began when the Invincible
Three-Marvin (The Beast) Levey,
'43, Bill Stegeth, '42, and Jack Mit-.
chell, '42-discovered an antique
phonograph in the studio, complete
with perforated metal discs. As ra-
dio instructor Don Hargis sat on
the floor, grinding out "Listen to the
Mocking Bird" and "Dixie," inspira-
tion flitted in legion through these
creative minds.
"Think of the stories an old thing
like that could tell," Levey said.
Mitchell hummed a bar from "Lis-
ten to the Mocking Bird." "Gather
'round, children, and I will tell you
a story of the long, long ago," he
said, in a strangely tired and me-
chanical.voice. This, then, was the
phonograph speaking.
"Flash back," Stegeth added, "to
the long, long ago. Two children
are....."
"Why we could make it a whole
series," Levey interrupted, with an
eye to expansion.
"And each week a different song
JGP music committee will be at
7:30 p.m. today in the League Ball-]
room.
MICHIGAN OUTING CLUB
They're at it again-that Michi-
will suggest another story," cried
Mitchell, exuberant.
Then the thgree put their heads
together and began scratching out
a script, on the backs of envelopes
and memoranda.
Don Hargis, sitting happily on the
floor and grinding out the tunes,
smiled.
After the theme has been selected
and the student script has been writ-
ten, the campus show offers further
problems. First comes casting, with
15 enthusiastic students vying for
five parts, and the director interrupt-
ing the tryouts with a curt "Next!"
And then rehearsal time must be
found convenient for all cast mem-I
bers, scripts must be mimeographed,
and program participants assembled
in time to broadcast on signal. "The
shows must go on!"
And they do.
