Pay-Off Dance

February 12
Records to Be Used
at Affair Sponsored
by Mortarboard
All "I.O.U.'s" will be repaid-with
interest at Mortar Board's annual
Pay-Off dance, which will be held
from 9 p.m. to midnight February 12
in the ballroom of the League.
In years past, an invitation to Pay-
Off was the co-ed's traditional
"thanks" to her J-Hop date. With
many traditions "gone to war" these
days, however, Pay-Off will assume
the responsibility for repaying all
debts of every nature-Victory Ball
outstanding.
Music will be supplied by the na-
tion's best orchestra leaders via
nickleodeon. Although the danceewill
celebrate Valentine's Day, 'Mortar
Board's decorations have "gone to
war" also.
In charge of the dance are Jean
Jeffrie, '43, Dorothy Schloss, '43, and
Janet Lewin, '43.
Tickets may be purchased at the
League desk or through a member of
Mortar Board.
Girls Hold First
Band Practice
Michigan's first All-Girl Band will
have its first rehearsal in Morris Hall
today when every instrument in a full
band will be played by 61 women.
Prof. William D. Revelli, director of
University bands, announces that
more trombonists and bass players
are still needed. Beginning classes in
wind instrument instruction will be
organized next semester to train more
musicians.
These classes are open to any stu-
dent who enrolls during the regular
registration week. The classes will
meet one hour a day five times a week
for one day; there will be a fee
charged for the instruction.
While no pianists will be used in
the band, Prof. Revelli pointed out
that previous piano training would be
valuable for the percussion section.
Those interested in the classes may
get information by calling Morris Hall
after 3 p.m.
O'Leary Has New
T'ire and Wheel but
He Can't Use Them
The lpk of the Irish and the de-
mands of Uncle Sam's armed forces
combined to give Jim O'Leary, a
Michigan Union employe, the biggest
headache of his life yesterday.
O'Leary, the son of Deputy Sheriff
James O'Leary, received a call to
service two weeks ago and will leave
for the Army shortly. Sunday he
opened the trunk of his car and found
that some kindly soul had left him
a Plymouth wheel and an almost-
new inner tube. Now young O'Leary
is tormented by the thought of how
many more miles that new tire would
take him were he going to be around
to enjoy it.
Though the discovery was reported
to the police, the tube and wheel still
wait for their owner tq claim them.
Young Jim O'Leary would be mighty
happy if someone would take them
out of his sight.
