t THE ~MICHIGA-N DAILY FACT Student Composers Provide Sparkling Rhythms For JGP Lawyers' Club Spring Formal, To 'Be Saturday 'r r w - r n - -w°..fl .r r,.nv.tr....r~-. - ..- rw- ,°r r - r------------- ---- - --I Acacia, Alpha Delta Phl And Sigma Nu Announce Initiations 3 i By BARBARA de FRIES Music-that all important stimu-t lant to any class production-for JGP's "No Questions Asked" has been finally disclosed as being a harmoni-I ous composite of works of some of the, well-known student composers on campus. The two songs which no doubt will prove to be the hits of the show are "Why" by Al Waterstone, '43SM, music, and Earl D'Arcy Brent, '42BAd, and Jack Reed, lyrics. An arrange- ment has already been made by Gor- don Hardy and his orchestra, who featured a four part vocal chorus of junior women spotting Irene Mendel- sohn as soloist last weekend at the League. The vocal arrangement was done by Waterstone and will be re- peated with Hardy's orchestra this weekend at the League. There's A Love Song The entire plantation scene of "No Questions Asked" is built around "'Til The Day Is Nightdwritten by Clar- ence Kopsic, '42BAd-it is a melan- choly love song absolutely guaranteed to leave its print in your mind. Solo- ist will be Marian Brown whose low, throaty, super-blues voice will be supported by a chorus of 20. The en- tire crew will be featured this week- end with Bill Sawyer and orchestra. Gordon Hardy, in his own inimit- able style, composed a Mexican tango (which to date is nameless), a slow, easy and plenty rhythmic for Molly Carney who will sing the solo un- supported by a background. Waterstone Is In For the casual reader it would seem that Al Waterstone really hit the jack-pot with this year's production. In addition to "Why," Waterstone is the musical power behind "Waltz- ing With You" with vocalist Polly Drake who composed the lyrics; "The Call of the Stage" with Russ Berg responsible for the lyrics and Leanor Grossman responsible for the voice. The cowboy chorus was also writ- ten by Waterstone, the arrangement by Al Burt (who incidently, for the convenience of everyone concerned, did all the arranging) and the lyrics, 'tis said, originated somewhere with- Wolf' To Have Little Chance At Coke Bar Another Coke Bar is scheduled for today with a few slight changes made by Bob Templin, '43, general chair- man, concerning chief hostess, sec- ondary hostesses and a method of obliterating the so-called "Wolves." "From 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. in. the main ballroom again with dozens of beautiful hostesses and many of the records of the best bands with their best arrangements of latest tunes"-a candid shot of the Coke Bar. "As for the 'wolves'-it's very sim- ple really," Templin was heard to have remarked-"We'll simply an- nounce a few non-cut dances and that'll fix 'em." So what could be better? A swell place to spend the afternoon, in pleasant company with no longer any fear of loosing your date to the wolves for the whole time. Coffee, tea and ginger ale will be served along with cookies on the ter race. Hostesses will be Harriet Boyer, '45, Joyce Collins, '45, Peggy Ross, '44, Marge McCabe, '45, Martha Op- sion, '44, Virginia Stover, '43, Fran Tripp, '45, Ruth Maloney, '45, Be- atrice Nickoll, '43, Pat Heil, '45, and Mary Ann Berger, '45.1 The list continues with Pat Pal- mer, '45, Shirley Hogan, '45, Helen Curdes, '44, Phyliss Banbrook, '45, Natalie Mattern, '45, Irene Anderks, '45, Marilyn Ruth, '45, Lyn Moser, '45, Connie Hammett, '45, June Nie- boer, '45, Bette Carpenter, '45, Vickie Mason, '44, Barbara Robinson, '44, Jean Hamilton, '44, Janet Stickney, '45, Peggy Gabriel, '42, Nancy Grif- fen, '44, Elizabeth Swisher, '44, Bea Bouchard, '44, Joan Shuchowsky, '45, Mary Milne, '45, Barbara Chadwick, '45, and Mary Reichart, '44. in the general confusion of the music committee. Grace Miller, '42, has repeated her success with last year's theme song by writing both music and lyrics to "No Questions Asked" plus a dance- able tune, "My Song," which will be spottednalong with four sprightly dancers. Credit for other tunes which will be used to keep the dancers in step and steppin' high are "I'm Bored" written by Walter Evans, '44, music, and Al- lan Axelrod, '43, lyrics; "Daughter of the Choo-Choo" also by Evans, and "One From Two" by M. G. O'Neil. It's Purposely Corny The "Soap" song--which is pur- posely corny-was written by Jean Crandell, music, and Axelrod, lyrics. While we're at it we might just as well dispense with Axelrod-the ver- satile young gentleman also wrote music and words for "Wenches of the -Wildwood," the "Reporter's Chant" and the words for "Eleanor," along with collaborator Kay Ruddy, '42. Well, that's all there is at this point but rumor has it that a lot of songs are added and revamped from the moment of initial dress rehearsal. We'll list the members of the choruses again just to make them feel good and stop trying to get out of re- hearsals. Josephine Jackson, Jean Zimmer, Midge Davidson, Florence McCracken, Ruth Bennett, Betty Lou James, Ro- berta Holland, Mary Lou Knapp, Shirley Altfeld, Ruth Selby, Mariett Rolleston, Florine Robinson, Helen Walsh, Frances Capps, Peggy Evans, Lynette Spath and Marorie deRoo.

That was all the Slide Rule Ball committee members could say to would-be ticket-buyers Sunday, for in three days of intensive selling not only were the 350 tickets originally available sold out, but 25 extra "re- serve" tickets were gone as well. The sale, probably one of the most successful yet recorded for a cam- pus dance, started Thursday, when in four hours the committee sold nearly 250 tickets in the lobby of the East Engineering Building. In a similar period the next day the number was jumped to 330, and the remaining tickets were placed on general sale at the Union desk. "Since then I've had so many calls from engineers wanting tickets that I've had to take what few are left off general sale," committee chair- man Burr J. French, '42E, reported. "We're completely sold out, and there will be absolutely no more tickets available." French laid the phenomenal suc- cess of the ticket sale to the fact that trumpeter Bunny Berigan has been named to appear on the band- stand at the Ball, and also to the fact that the Slide Rule Ball has always been a popular dance in the past. Mu Phi Epsilon Has Initiation For Five Mu Phi Epsilon, women's honorary music society, formally initiated five Sunday, at the home of an alumna, Mrs. Dana Seeley. The new initiates are Mildred Stern, '43SM, Frances Peterson, '42 SM, Jane Crecraft, '42SM, Betty Lou James, '43SM, and Violet Oulbegian, '43SM. After the initiation a sup- per was held at the Union and was followed by a musical program of two piano numbers by Joan Stevens and James Wolfe. A BreakI For Hardy. But Hardy, who has a good band, a good personality, a good vocalist and probably more friends than anyone else on campus, must take all the risk. He has no con- tract, but pays the rental of the ballroom himself and although this is beginning to sound sort of like an editor- ial, the ultimate cause of the whole subject is selfishness. We're just as sick as every other woman on this campus of being told to support the League and plug the agri- cultural shows which have been parading under the names of musical organizations, there, and we'd like to keep a band that we'd be glad to plug. Every girl on this campus is willing to support the League, but it might not be a bad idea if the League would support itself.
