Miss Schaible requests that a repre- sentative from each dormitory and sorority house purchase tickets for the entire membership of her house, so that seating at the banquet may be arranged by groups. All others may buy their tickets separately at -the same time and place. Theme Announced Installation Banquet, the annual dinner at which new appointments are announced, and next year's BWOC's officially installed, will have a department store as a banquet3 theme around which programs and decorations will center, Virginia Ap- pleton and Dorothy Merki, co-chair- men of decorations, have announced. This theme will be carried out in naming the new League heads and in "departmentalizing" the house groups to be seated in the banquet rooms. Serving as general chairman of the banquet will be Margaret Sanford, '42, the out-going president of the League Council, who will be aided by the new president (who will be an- nounced beforehand) as well as by the other members of this year's League Council. Officers To Be Installed League officers, the Judiciary Com- mittee, heads of the various League committees represented on the Coun- cil, Panhellenic, WAA, and Assembly Board officers will all be announced and installed at the banquet. Also the three winners of Ethel A. Mc- Cormick scholarships, as well as those selected to be freshman and transfer orientation advisers will be named. All announcement of new officers will be a surprise at the banquet with the exception of the new League president and the chairman of Judi- ciary Council. U ry y wu yl , c , IXi rod, '43, inseparable exponents of the comic spirit, adapted to stage and directed by Mary Ellen Wheeler. Dance routines, from the graceful ballet to the clumsy cowboys were worked out by Co-Chairmen Jean Ranahan and Lorraine Dalzen, while Barbara de Fries and Connie Gil- bertson were responsible for the mus- ical end of the production. "Why," with music by Al Water- stone and lyrics by Irl Brent and Jack Reed, "'Til Day Is Night" by Clarence Klopsic and the "Cowboy Round-Up" by Al Waterstone are among the several musical numbers included in this year's JGP. America First 'No Questions Asked" runs along musical comedy lines with half the scenes composed of just music and dancing. The dialogue scenes are short and snappy and occur inter- mittently throughout the play. As for the plot of the play-it seems that the one Mrs. Roosevelt (Mary Lou Curran) loses a merit badge, the most cherished of her oh so numerous badges and naturally because she is so frantic, Frankie coolly controls the situation by com- missioning two Daily reporters (Mary, Lucille Katz; Ann, Frances Hall) to track it down. By the time they finally find it, their tracks have led through New York, the South, a western dude ranch, Hollywood, Sun Valley and the good old University of Michigan campus. What occurs in the vari- ous parts of the United States wili be portrayed by a cast of 150 junior women. 'Tickets (oilg Fast More than half the tickets for the public performance Friday have al- ready been sold, Marjorie Green, tick- et chairman, has announced. The re- maining tickets will be on sale from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. today through Friday at the box office of the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Inasmuch as "No Questions Asked" will begin at 8:30 p.m. and last until 10:30 p.m., there will be an oppor- tinity to get in some dancing aftei- te play. Providling for such con- tingencies, the League Ballroom will be open for the usual Friday night d;ricing. Gordon Hardy and his orchestra will play for dancing, featuring sev- are to take. Memories To Be Revived, Memories of "Jumpin' Jupiter" will be revived as the group rehearses the songs from its own JGP during din-, ner. Under the directorship of Helen Rhodes, song chairman for the ban- quet, the women will also learn the song they will sing before the curtain 6 goes up on the 1942 JGP.

Every week women from nine of the country's leading3 universities take part in a telegraphic riflery meet, each school sending thev results of its shooting to every other school in the match. Wheaton College, University of Illinois, University of Alabama, University of Nebraska, Uni- versity of Kent, Gettysburg College, Pennsylvania College for Women, andI Ohio State University represent the different parts of the United Statest which are competing with the sharpshooters of this University. And when we say sharpshooters we mean it, for the home team really ran off with the honors this week when they won 496 out of a possible 500s points. Cheryl Davidson and Melvina Eberle shared top place' with 100t points each, while Florence Light and Dorothy Grindotti tied for a close; seco'nd place with 99 points each. Emmeline Wallace kept up the high standards of the team with a score of 98. This shooting is the best that has been done by women in the University this year, and beats scores of all but two of the schools competing in the weekly meets. With only one more match to be played, members of the Rifle Club are out to do their best work of the year, for it won't be long before the best members of the team will be honored with special certificates. And riflery wasn't the only sport that saw some accurate shooting this week. Arlene Ross and herteam from Club Basketball confidently chal- lenged the faculty of the Women's Department of Physical Education to a game after having won every match they played this year. The faculty got' their heads together and decided that a practice session would do no harm when they were up against the student champions, but came the day sched- uled for the match and the practice was yet to be. To climax the story, the' faculty, with a team that had never played together before, decisively de- feated the Ross champs with a score of 22-13! Two .new members on the winning team proved to be valuable additions: Miss Ruth Johnson made all but four of the points and Miss Jesselene Thomas used her height to her team's advantage when she played as center guard. The faculty team has since been challenged by other ambitious mem- bers of Club Basketball, but as has been a tradition for several years, they refuse to play more than one game each season. With spring officially ushered in last Saturday in the midst of cold blasts of March winds, the Pitch and Putt Club has scheduled their last indoor meeting for 4:30 p.m. today in the Women's Athletic Building. With hopes ford permanent warm weather definitely on its way, members expect to practice outside and to play the golf courses as soon as they open. Under the new leadership of Dorothy Lundstrom the Outing Club is beginning the season with zealous plans for the future. Saturday morning at 8 a.m. the group will greet the rising sun and will bicycle 22 miles to Pinckney to start work on a new Youth Hostel. Working in an old barn they will clean the building, build bunks, make tables, construct an outdoor fireplace, and in general prepare the place for the hostelers who will occupy it in the near future. As definite proof that golf, tennis and softball will soon hold the spot- light, the new sport managers for the spring season are getting plans to- gether to be presented to all house managers, at a meeting next Tuesday, Materials with entry blanks for the tournaments will be sent to the mana- gers before the meeting is held. The second round of the ping-pong tournaments, as posted in Barbour Gymnasium, should be played off by Saturday, March 28. , Military Forces Are Entertained By ISO Clubs To be sure you've heard about USO (United Service Organizations) clubs and units, in fact you've probably even contributed to them, but have you ever stopped to consider just what these organizations have really accomplished? In the nine months since the American people were first asked to cooperate in this nationwide project of establishing USO service centers, over 500 USO clubs and units, lo- cated in 257 cities and towns, in 43 state have been organized. An addi- tional 16 clubs have been formed out- side the continental United States. Service centers include 247 clubs and 163 smaller units which have been opened in rented quarters. In addition, 160 clubs have been founded in buildings erected by the govern- ment and turned over to the USO and 57 more are to be opened within the next two months. Already the month- ly attendance f-igures have exceeded 1,000,000! USO clubs, although primarily re- stricted to men in uniform, at the re- quest of the federal government, have alloted 5.4 per cent of the budgets toy the entertaining of war industries workers. The clubs have recently es- tablished 48 information booths and% lounges at railroad and bus stations for the convenience of troops-in- transit. Almost 200 USO citizens' councils are now functioning throughout the nation. Reading and writing rooms-thor- oughly equipped, games, music, show- ers, refreshment bars and lounges are only a part of the facilities offered by the USO clubs. Auditoriums for- dancing, stage performances and, other activities have been construc- ted for the men in uniform. Here also the military forces are enter- tained by professional entertainers' brought by the USO-Camp Shows, Inc. units. "Home grown talent" shows such as "The Falcons Present" produced by the 39th Infantry at' Fort Bragg are also presented on USO stages. USO clubs and units held "open house" recently which was intended to acquaint the public with the fa- cilities and activities offered the men in service. At that time ten new specially designed recreational build- ings were dedicated. High military officials participated in radio broad-° casts which were conducted both lo.h cally and over a coast-to-coast hook- up, explaining USO projects and services. ,. , f ; j F Jok n N, oil e s s3 E t.t YC {t n eral of the numbers tions Asked." from "No Ques- Soft-pedal your feet l Jet } 1/ 71 if" 7. -1EEl E i El .7l.11 1flfl 71_..TLn 1_n -R- F- ;~ r0 Add a lilt to your walk, and - i nches to your height . . . with these rollicking rocker-like soles.
