Due to the extensive use of League rooms by defense classes a definite meeting place has not been assigned. However, the room will be posted on the bulletin board behind the desk before 5 p.m. today. Ball Is Annual The Ball, which is an annual event of Assembly, will be held this year on March 16 from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. in the League Ballroom. Arrange- ments will be made in the main din- ing room of the League for all wo- men interested in making reserva- tions for dinner before the dance. Those attending the Ball are cordial- ly invited to make use of this op- portunity since it is a compartively new idea for Assembly affairs. In urging all independent women to attend this mass meeting, Miss Criswell said, "Assembly Ball has grown to be bne of the largest dances on campus and will maintain this status only through the cooperation of each and every one of its mem- bers."

TRYOUTS Notice to second semester fresh- men: Pretty girls may try out for Michiganensian Editorial Staff tomorrow at 4:15. Michigan wo- men are also invited. Student Publications Building - ground floor. Two OnThe Aisle For JiP It seems there are a few incidental odds and ends that must be cleaned up before JGP can start on its new speed-up-production system. There are but five and one-half weeksto whip the show intonpre- sentable shape. Think it can be done? Sure it can, but it will neces- sitate the fullest cooperation on the part of each and every junior girl. First of all-those health rechecks must be taken care of pronto. Ap- pointments may be made at the .Health Service any old time of the day. The whole recheck takes about 15 minutes, is very mild and it is to your definite advantage to take it. Well, you can't work on JGP un- til your health card is okayed, so let's take care of that right away. r 1:: Everyone is asked to call for their eligibility cards at the Dean's Office as soon as final grades are issued from that office. These cards must e signed in the League and brought to the next meeting of the respective committee or to tryouts. Tryouts for speaking parts in the 1943 Junior Girls Play will start Wednesday. The time and length of tryout period will be announced later. There will be a meeting of the music committee at 3 p.m. tomorrow in the League. All those who signed up for the committee as piano play- ers, lyric writers or music writers must be present and will be dropped if absent without excuse from Bar- bara de Fries, music chairman, or Connie Gilbertson, assistant chair- man. Any one-both men and women- interested in writing music for the production are urged to attend this meeting as a brief synopsis of the plot of the musical comedy will be given at that time. Anyone having original music who wishes to submit it to JGP may bring it at this time though song auditions will not be held until next week. In other words, the sole purpose of this meeting is to give an idea to those wanting to write music of what will be needed and also to line up the piano players and lyric writers. The duplicate bridge tournament will be resumed today. As last sem- ester, everybody, including students, faculty and people of Ann Arbor are invited. Qroup Of Candy Booth Workers To Meet Today There will be a mass meeting of all girls interested in working on the Candy Booth Committee, today at 4:30 p.m. in the League. Any girl who is interested in working on the committee and who cannot attend the meeting is asked to call Phyllis Lovejoy. Each girl is required to work only one hour a week at the University Hall Booth. At the meeting the girls will turn in preferences of the time they would like to work and they will learn the procedure of what to do during the hour they work. The Candy Booth is the major money making project of the League. Any women including second semes- ter freshmen whose grades meet the eligibility requirements can work on the committee. W1eddings c-.., and .,# Engagements Mrs. Charles Mutter of Ann Arbor announces the engagement of her daughter Edna, ex-'43, to George Reddick, '42, of Beulah, Mich. Miss Mutter is a member of Zeta Tau Alpha. The engagement of Helen May Gasser, '40A, and Walter P. Leonard, '42E, was announced by Miss Gasser's mother. Mrs. H. M. Gasser, at a tea given Sunday in the League. No date has been set for the wedding. Miss Gasser was affiliated with Kappa Delta and Kappa Phi soror- ities while on campus. Mr. Leonard is employed in the composing room of The Daily. . Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Moore have announced the engagement of their niece, Barbara Moore, '41E, of Pasa- dena, Calif., to Earle Carr, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Earle Carr of Lone Pine, Calif. The wedding date has not been set. Members of Scroll Society will meet at 7:30 p.m. today in the League, Mildred Radford, presi- dent, has announced. Petites Pommes de Terre News of eligibility or non-eligibility is practically out now, and although we're not particularly sure that there is the gigantic scramble which we are led to believe starts at this time of the year-with swarming mobs of freshmen opportunists eagerly examining the benefits offered by each campus organization and frantic mobs of seniors, siren-like, luring the best of the crop into their activity-at any rate, there may be a very few fresh- men around who want advice on what activity to enter. And this column is from us particularly to them. We have a favorite activity-one which is very near and dear to us, and one which we wish to boost a bit. Anything which has as much to offer to the up-and-coming freshman as this organization does, certainly deserves all the publicity it can get. The noble group of which we speak is the Union. Cultural center; developer of personality; inspirer of initiative; center of wit and Precieuse discussion; core of the campus! Union, we salute you! (The Union also has a barber shop in the basement, a pool room on the second floor and washrooms at convenient intervals.) We say that it is a developer of personality and a center of wit; no proof of this is needed. One has only to walk into the Undergraduate Offices of the Union to realize the crystal lucidity of this statement. There they all are-every personality of them. All fine, upstanding, sterling characters, and every one alike. The same honest industriousness, the same sparkling wit-("What he just said was a quotation from Milton - - - - Berle." This with much comradely laughter and good feeling all around and then back to earnest industriousness.) One need accept no substitute for a Union boy. One is equal with the other. We also mention that it is a cultural center, and we do not say this, either, in idle jest. For anyone who has a writing talent there is a special little corner in the Union Executive Committee's heart. Because there is no- thing which the Union Executive Committee would rather do than read reports on important stuff like "Coke Bars of 1941" or "The Union's Sun- day Morning Saunters As Seen In 1939 By The Recording Secretary of the Sunday Morning Saunters." These reports usually run to a size which makes a doctor's thesis look like one of Gargoyle's Varsity Vignettes, except that there is a certain resemblance, the general style being very much like one of Gargoyle's Varsity Vignettes. One which we particularly enjoyed was one by last year's Orientation Program director-a little thing which ran to 58 pages of fine quality typing paper. It included phrases like "When I was appointed director of orienta- tion" agd "After much consideration, I decided" and in addition occupied much space with things called Exhibits. These were very valuable, being filled out applications and such, and it's a lucky tling they were included. It's a plenty hard thing to figure out-this filling out of applications. -We forgot to mention that the Union Executive Committee also keeps a special corner of the attic for those with writing talent. Lastly, the Union is an inspirer of initiative. Everyone knows that. Look at the latest of the organizations which they are forming! This one is called the Wolverines; its purpose is "to stimulate school spirit, and to make Michigan united as a student body;" it will have a constitution; it will sit in a reserved section at the football games. Why don't you go out for the 'Ensian? They do exciting things there- they file cards in the afternoons.

In fact, she claims thatj now is the time to purchase a print, crepe, if one wishes to keep in step with the fashion parade. The dress pictured above is a per- fect example of '42 styling. The com- bination of a knife-pleated skirt and gathered bodice maintains a like de- sign from shoulder to hem. The tie- back waist is a figure-flattering de- vice which any girl will be thankful for. Special note should be paid to the use of long gloves, as they are steadily gaining popularity for both formal and informal wear. These are obtain- able in a great variety of colors and materials.
