If you're clad in a cardigan and
shod in saddle shoes you'll be appro-
priately attired for an evening of
dancing to the tunes of "Doc" Sprack-
lin's orchestra at the "Sweater Swing"
to be held from 9 p. m. to midnight
Friday in the, League Ballroom.
The event is the first to be spon-
sored by the stident body to whom
the League has turned over the use of
the ballroom, and the entire proceeds
are to be contributed to the Bomber
Scholarship Drive.
Dates No Necessity
The "Swing" to which you can
bring a friend or "just come," will be
a special occasion, for there will be
no dance this Saturday. Many of the
musicians will be among the fortunate
few to see the Michigan-Notre Dame
game at South Bend that day.
Featured in the evening's entertain-
ment will be the "band within a band"
that swings out in. Dixieland style.
The specialty is composed of seven
pieces with Bill Henlin at the trom-
bone, Tom Snyder behind the clarinet,
Charlie Goodell and his trumpet, Don
Whitefield at the drums, Clark Mc-
Clellan at his piano, Bill Wheatley
with his bass, and Dwight Daily and
his tenor saxophone.
"Rhythm Band" Featured
Also there will be several numbers
by the "rhythm band" with the clari-
net, drums, bass, and vibraphone as
the featured instruments.
As is the custom, the vocal quar-
tette with "Doc," Bill Henlin, Charlie
Goodell, and Tom McNall will round
out the entertainment.

r It has taken us quite some time, after a preliminary column about

com-

position courses in general, to gather ,pecific data about the types of writ-
ing that pour out of the campus Young Writers' clubs with a horrible pro-
lific surge. However, after a good deal of research, complete with the proper
biblicgraphies, we feel that we are prepared to offer a brief survey of the
Michigan literature output. The following, built around one selected sub-
ject, we think, is fairy representative of the various categories.
COSTIVE DEPRESSION; OR, THE NARRATIVE GRIM
The bitter swirling blasts of snow flickered quickly downward around
the street lights, lingering for moment in the dull glow and then disap-
pearing below the circle of light. It fell in the gutters and on the sidewalks
and in the open sewers. It fell especially in the gutters and sewers. Sean
O'Houlihan leaned against the dirty brick wall of a five-story tenement
building and looked, with empty, bitter eyes at the tall, hard straightness
of the office buildings. They were tall and hard and straight; terribly tall
and hard and straight. A drunk lurched past him and fell into, the doorway.
His body, as it crashed to the steps, made a dull, noisy thud. Thud, it went,
thud.
MYSTIC INTUITION; OR, THE POEM POINTLESS
it fell
in pinpoints .....
sliding and caressing . . . .
the bench where i sat
hard
and unrelenting,
the marble of the bench . ..
it was cold against my skin .. .
white and fine and cold
the snow.....
it was lovely .!..
the snow . . . snow . . . snow
and i cried oh god,
what?.....
WEATHER SERIES; OR, THE ASSIGNMENT DULL
Webster 'defines snow as: "Small tabular and columnar crystals of,
frozen water vapor of the air when its temperature at the time of condensa-
tion is lower than 0",C. (32°F.) Snow belongs to the hexagonal system of
crystallization and is white or transparent." This definition, however, means
little to the farmers of'northwestern Iowa during the corn-growing season.
,(1) Only last year, snow fellthere, and in great quantities on the 16th of
January.

/%4reenu WAA fl t1 C s
Seems impossible, but it's true. The fall outdoor sports ,season is com-
ing to an end, and with it will be the end of tennis, golf, field hockey and
lacrosse until spring.
However, there's loads of fun and exercise being planned for the rest
of the semester indoors. The three B's, badminton, basketball and bowling,
will start the week of Monday, Nov. 23. Fencing, riding and riflery will be
added, while archery, dance and Hobby Lobby clubs will also continue their
activities over into indoor season.
Shooting ahead with plans for the new season is Doris Kimball, head
of the Rifle Club. A mass meeting will be held at 5 p.m. Tuesday in the
lounge of the WAB for all girls interested in the club. Doris says thati
everyone's welcome and absolutely no experience is necessary. They'll start
from scratch and have instruction until all the members are sharpshooters.
Prospective members need not be eligible and, therefore, they may be
freshmen. So here's a chance to get some exercise, acquire a new skill and
have fun at the same time. Maybe sharpshooting will come in handy some
day-not to be morbid, but remember Mrs. Miniver's single-handed capture
of the Nazi flier.

Final winner of the volleyball tournament will be decided today, but
don't be discouraged if your house didn't quite make the grade. The basket-
ball inter-house tournament will begin Monday, Nov. 23, so start rounding
up your team and get some practice.
"To be able to ride" is the only requirement laid down for membership
in the University Women's Riding Club, new auxiliary club to Crop and
Saddle. A few places are still open in the group, which rides at 1 p.m. every
Saturday. Those interested are to contact Sybil Graham.

One of the banner clubs down at the WAB this season is Lacrosse Club,
under the capable leadership of dark-haired Marcia Sharpe. When this
group first convened, no more than two of 'the girls -knew what a lacrosse
stick looked like, let alone how to hold it. But take it from their enthusiasm,
lacrosse is a game of real skill and fun, too. Turnouts have been excellent,
although a few more players could be added, so why not join in the play at
4:30 p.m. today at Palmer Field and find out what you're missing? 'Bye now.

BULGING BICEPS; OR, THE RHYTHM PHYSICAL
The snow fell on the lumber camp,
On sweating skin and men with stamp
Of brawny, brawling, mighty folk.
Their muscles flapped and waved with stroke
Of ax and pull of saw.
Their breathing hissed against the maw
Of the icy blast.
It was winter -
In Kokoweehaugen!
SAROYAN SYMBOLISM; OR, THE SURGE ETERNAL
Act I, Scene I.
(As the curtain rises, we discover Stefan Zwiebach, an Estonian, sit-
ting at a table in Ginsberg's Old Dublin Waterfront Inn. Three drunks sit-
ting nearby are alternately hiccoughing and reciting selections of The Iliad
in the original Greek. Up above, a tightrope walker and two strolling accor-
dion players pace slowly back and forth on the wire, symbolizing the beauty
of The American Way of Life. Stefan is playing the fourth movement of
the Sibelius Concerto for Tuba and Bass Drum on la kazoo. He plays with
bitter Estonian pride, slowly and meaningfully/' Suddenly, Ivan, his brother,
enters the room riding a reindeer from which trails a Flexible Flyer. He
falls from his mount and tethers the reindeer to the table.)
°- IVAN: (Shouting with fierce and wonderful Estonian joy) Stefan, it's
snowing outside, do you hear me? Snowing! (Stefan begins playing Oh,
Susannah.) It's snowing, I say! The wise people, the sophisticated people
won't admit it. They're afraid to admit it. But me, God, I'm alive. It's
snowing. It fills me with the exaltation of Rockefeller Center!
STEFAN: Snowing? (He stops playing Thus Spake Zarathusthra in trip-
lets, gets up, and knocks Ivan down with one blow of his huge fist.)
(Two pawnbrokers enter and quickly slit each other's throats, sym-
bolizing Freedom of Thought. The reindeer munches a Ritz cracker thought-
fully.) (Slow curtain)
