This is almost certainly the first time in University history that classes will be held on New Year's Day. Even Ann Arbor old-timers can't remember professors and students alike going to'class on Jan. 1. New Year's Eve in Ann Arbor and classes the day after are a conse- quence of an acute transportation shortage occasioned by war condi-, tions. Although this is unprecedented, the student body is taking it in good spirit. Curfew hours for women have been' extended to 1 a.m., allowing coeds as much a view of 1943 as next day eight o'clocks will discreetly allow.' According to Kelner, a high spot of the evening will be the launching of a campus wide war bond and stamp sale at a special booth in the I-M Building. Warsages, corsages made of war savings stamps, will be sold.' All pyoceeds of the campaign will be directed to the Bomber Scholarship Fund. Although material shortages and the elimination of frills will prevent lavish decorations, Oddy stated that there will be decorations, hats, con-1 fetti, and items for noise making purposes.l Working with Oddy and Kelner on the general committee are Rossi Hume, '45, patrons; Robert Shemway, '44, Bob Wendling, '45, and RobertI Rosencrans, '45, working on thei building committee.I Identification cards will not be re-I quired at the door so that out-of- town guests will have the opportunityI to enjoy the fun and frolic of theI evening. FBI Holds Womar Reported Aiding Deserting Soldier MIAMI, Fla., Dec. 30.-G)-Author Ursula Parrott nervously blamed an "impulse" today for leading her into trouble over the flight from an Army stockade of a young private with whom she has been friendly. She formally pleaded innocence to a charge of aiding a soldier to de- sert, but told newsmen that the story- like incident was no fault of Private Michael Neely Bryan of Germantown, Tenn., a former guitar player in -Benny Goodman's dance band. Federal Bureau of Investigation agents investigated the case thor- oughly because, agent in charge A. P. Kitchin reported, Bryan, 26, has been charged in a warrant issued ae New York with transporting narco- tics. The warrant, which Kitchin said involves the drug marijuana, is in the hands of Federal men here but has not been served on Bryan because of his military arrest. Kitchin said the soldier would be returned to New York to face trial as soon as military authorities release him. The four-times-married, thrice-di- vorced author was released under $1,000 bond pending grand jury ac- tion on the Federal charges naming a crime which woud have a maximum penalty upon conviction of three years' imprisonment and a $2,000 fine. She was accused of going to the Miami Beach stockade Monday after- noon to visit Bryan, who was being punished for leaving camp without permission. Once inside, charged As- sistant District Attorney Ernest L. Duhaime, she concealed Bryan in the back seat of her automobile, and sped away. Detroit Leader Will Feature Two Vocalists Ball Tickets May Be Purchased z At Army, Navy Headquarters; ROTC, NROTC Will Attend Hailed as "the nation's newest sen- sation," Bob Chester and his orches- tra have been engaged to play for the annual Army-Navy Ball, to be held from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday, Jan. 22, at the Sports Building. Before organizing his own band, Chester was saxophone player with many of-the big time New York or- chestras. His first job was with Paul Specht, and in order he joined Arn- old Johnson, Ben Pollack, Irving Aar- onson and Ben Bernie. Organized Own Band Organizing a group of unknown musicians in 1935, Bob Chester se- cured his first job in his home town at the Detroit Athletic Club. From then on the band skyrocketed from one noted ballroom to another. Chester's broadcasting over all the major networks aided his climb to fame. The band features brunette vocalist Betty Bradley, who is popular through her recording work, and Gene Howard, tenor. Tickets Available Tickets to the Ball, which is open to all members of the ROTC and NROTC, including basic students, may be purchased at Army or Navy headquarters or from any member of the central committee, according to Cadet Col. Charles Thatcher, '43, and NROTC Lieut.-Comm. Al Mac- tier, 144, co-chairmen of the affair. No programs or other favors will be given away at the party, in order to keep expenses down during war- time. However, the dance will be a colorful affair, because it is custom- ary for the Army and Navy reserve cadets to attend the dance inuni- form. Other' decorations will consist of military equipment, flags and bunting. Ball Date Advanced Proceeds from the Ball will be di- vided between the Military Science department, Naval Science depart- ment and the Bomber-Scholarship. Ordinarily held in spring, the date of the Ball has been set ahead this year, because many of the advance corps men are graduating seniors. As it is possible that some basic students may leave at the end of this semes- ter also, the dance will provide a last get-together and a last chance to relax before exams for many mem- bers of the two military reserve forces.
