To Play Today
At Triad Dance
Formal Dinners Will Be Held
At All Three Chapter Houses
Before Annual Event At League
With Milton Ross and his orches-
tra furnishing the music, members
of Sigma Chi, Phi Delta Theta, and
Beta Theta Pi will hold their an-
nual Miami Triad from 9 p.m. to
midnight today in the'League Ball-
room.
There will be formal dinners held
at each house preceding the dance,
which is an outstanding event on anyl
campus where there are chapters of
the three fraternities. As is their
custom, members of the houses will
sing their fraternity songs during in-
termission.
Celebrates Founding
The Triad, which is a celebration
of the founding of the three frater-
nities at Miami University, located at
Oxford, O., was revived on this cam-
pus two years ago, after a lapse of
ten years or more, and it is well on
the way to becoming an annual affair=
again.
The original purpose of the Triad
was to further cooperation and
friendship between the three houses
while at Miami University.
Pins Are Decorations -
According to the committee in
charge of arrangements for the
dance, decorations will consist mainly
of large replicas of each fraternity's
pin, to be mounted in the panels
around the League Ballroom.
The committee for this year's af-
fair is made up of a representative
from each of the three houses. Buehl
Morley, '43, represented Sigma Chi;
William Angst, '42E, answered for'
Beta Theta Pi; and Bud Rudy, '44,
is the reprsentative from Phi Delta

Away With Sweaters!
The weather is getting to the point
where one's sweater begins to shrink
on one's body and to come up and
clutch one's neck in a vise-like grip.
When you feel it happening to you,
don't knit an addition on to your
winter standbys; just pack them all
away in camphor where they belong
and turn your attention to blouses
for spring.

Reggie Childs To Play Friday
AtOdonto Ball In League
A committee made up of 78
verine members are donating
efforts to a dance to be held
Wo-
their
from
9 p.m. to midnight today in the Wol-
verine Building.
As a result of their services, and
since the food and use of the build-
ing ' are to be contributed by the
Wolverine, the gross proceeds will go
to the Bomber-Scholarship Fund.
Chairmen Named
"Bomber Scholarship Dance" com-
mittee has at its head Ed Sosnowa-
ski, '43. Assisting him are Jerry Mos-
cowitz, '45E. Paul Gardner, '44, Mur-
ray Gottlieb, '42, Ted Astley, '43,
with whom the Wolverine Board of
Directors, headed by John Schiebe,
'42M, president, is cooperating.
Many Ann Arbor merchants have
become interested in the project and
have contributed funds which will
be used for programs for the dance.
Indorsed By Board
The War Board is reported to be
whole-heartedly behind the project
and is inxious that it be supported by
the various organizations on campus.
The dance is an all-campus affair,
open to every one.
The price of the ticket will include
refreshments. and continuous dane-
"The Rolling Styles" of Reggie
Childs, which will become a reality
at the eighth annual Odonto Ball
which will be held from 9 p.m. to
1 a.m. Friday, May 1 in the main ball-
room of the League, characterize the
life of the orchestra leader as well as
his music.
Born in England, his musical talent
was given early encouragement by
his mother who was a prominent
choir singer. He won a vocal schol-
arship in London and was sent to
sing in the choir of the American
Cathedral in Paris.
Turned To Violin
Thus the "rolling" began, and when
his juvenile tenor voice began to
change, it really "cracked" so that
there was nothing else to do but turn
his musical talents to the violin which
he had studied previously in Lon-
don.
To perfect his technique on this
instrument, Childs attended the Paris
Conservatory of Music for seven
years. Then, when his parents moved
to Toronto, Canada, the "rolling" be-
gan on the American continent.
Organized Band
When he finally decided to organ-
ize his own orchestra, Childs se-
cured engagements at hotels and
vaudeville houses in Canada, and in
this country, playing at the El Fey
Club where Texas Guinan was mis-
tress of ceremonies and Ruby Keeler
was in the dancing chorus.
Rogers and Hart, two of the famous
song-writers of today, came to Childs
for advice and criticism of their first
song-writing efforts. And, Harry Ar-
cher who wrote, "I Love You" tore up
the original three times before Childs
was able to persuade him to use it
in the musical comedy "Jesse James"
-p.s. the song became the hit of the
show and of the nation.
Went On Air
Child's bookings took him to the
San Diego Country Club, and it was
there that he broadcast his first pro-
gram on the airwaves. The manage-
ment of the Hotel Roosevelt in New
York City heard one of his broad-
casts, decided that his musical style
was just what they wanted and wired
him an offer to play in their Grill.
Although his contract was only for
three months, he scored such a hit
that he remained for over a year.
While there, he took an attractive
youngster from the chorus of a
Broadway show and placed her be-
fore his band as vocalist. After
coaching and training and some
months with the orchestra, she was
snatched up by the motion picture
scouts and whisked off to Hollywood
where she went on to stardom. Her
name? Dixie Dunbar.
Orchestra Is Adaptable
Always alert to the country's musi-
cal pulse beat, Child's orchestra is
the type of musical aggregation
whose qualities can be quickly adap-
ted to the changing tastes of his audi-
ence. From his solo /violinist days
with Paul Whiteman, Vincent Lopez
and Wayne King, Childs has cap-
tured a bit of the showmanship of
each famous bandleader-swing from
one, syncopation from another, show-
manship from the third.
Featured with Childs in his ap-
pearance at Odonto will be Betty
Carter, Neil Courtney and Mal and
Paul Carley, plus the "Three C's"
trio as soloists.

Alpha Xi Delta
Meets Today
InUonvention
Over one hundred representatives
from Alpha Xi Delta sorority will
meet here in a Province Convention
over the weekend.
Events will begin this morning
with a panel to be held at the League
on "Women in Defense" led by Mrs.
Leslie Putnam of Grosse Pointe Park,
during which representatives will re-
port what their chapters have been
doing in the national war effort.
Other panels will also be held, which
are of interest more to the members
of the sorority and principally con-
cern that organization. The panels
will be followed by a luncheon at
noon, after which Mrs. Preston Slos-
son will address the delegates on
"Life in England."
During the afternoon there will be

Reunion To Be Held
At Luncheon Today
By Gamma Phi Beta
Mrs. Robert E. Fitzgerald, inter-
national presiden tof the grand coun-
cil of Gamma Phi Beta sorority,
arrived in Ann Arbor yesterday from
Wauwautosa, Wis., to attend the bi-
ennial reunion of Beta chapter
alumnae.
Between 125 and 130 alumnae and
active members of the Beta chapter
will attend a luncheon at the League
today. Mrs. Fitzgerald, the former
Alice Young Weiber, who received
her bachelor's and master's degrees
in the literary college in 1917 and
1918 respectively, will speak at the
luncheon.
Other speakers will include Ruth
Wood, '43, president of the actives;
Margaret Ihling, '43, and Eleanor
Williams, '42. Mrs. Edward L. Ad-
ams will preside.
The undergraduates will have a
tea at the house at 1520 S. Univer-
sity, following the luncheon and
business meeting, in honor of alum-
nae returning for the biennial.
University Musical Society is in a
quandry; and, the Office of the
Dean of Women is in a similar "stew."
Their problem might be solved by the
individual effort of the residents of
Ann Arbor.
With May Festival, there is always
a great influx of people from all
parts of the country and most of
them have a temporary residence
here for the "duration" of the con-
cert series. This year, there will be
a serious shortage of rooms because,
firstly, the University admitted 150
to 200 more women this year than
last (a fact which is of considerable
importance in a town of this size),
and secondly, the Willow Run fac-
tory workers have rented a consid-

erable number of rooms here.
Because of their capacity of pro-
viding the campus coeds with room-
ing facilities, the Dean of Women's
Office has contacts with all the house
heads in town. This body has acted,
purely through courtesy, as an infor-
mation center for women who have
sought rooms but are not connected
with the University. Thus, quite
naturally, the responsibility for find-
ing rooms for May Festival visitors
has fallen on their shoulders.
Charles A. Sink, president of the
University Musical Society which
sponsors May Festival, is quite con-
cerned with this problem and has
requested that the Dean's Office act
as a clearing house for inquiries for
rooms and for the information of
available rooms.
Said Mr. Sink, "Although we can
not determine the exact number who
will be seeking rooms on May 6, we
are already besieged with requests
for temporary lodgings. We have
in turn, directed these requests to
the Office of the Dean of Women
which is doing all possible to locate
rooms that would be available for
those four days.
"We would be very grateful if
residents of Ann Arbor, who have
empty rooms suitable for May Festi-
val guests, would file their names
and number of possible accommoda-
tions with the Office of the Dean of
