This will be the first Michigan affair at which Lucas has played. An accomplished musician .on nine dif- ferent instruments, Lucas concen- trates largely on the violin and trom- bone. His band is composed of 16 men and a feminine vocalist and em-! ploys 72 instruments in all. It is be- cause of the diversified talents of his instrumentalists that Lucas' band has often been termed the "most ver- satile" band known. Tickets To Go on Sale Tickets for the ball will be on sale from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Monday and Tuesday at the travel desk in the Union, and a limited number will be reserved for freshmen and sopho- mores. If any tickets are left, they will be placed on general sale after Tuesday. "Michigan Memories" will be the theme of the dance and will be built around the customs and traditions most typical of life on the Michigan campus. The theme has been espe- cially chosen inasmuch as it is be-I lieved by the central committee that this will be the last all-campus dance to be sanctioned by the University this semester. Now Playing in New York Clyde Lucas is now playing in New York, and will go on to Hollywood after his appearance here, for further engagements. The recent trend of his band has been from sweeter ar- rangements to more swing and "solid" numbers. In former years the freshman and sophomore classes have held separate dances, but this year they are com- bining their efforts in order to cut down on expense and to make the affair a bigger event than ever. 'Qingham Hop' Will Be Today Guests at Rec-Rally Will Wear Costumes in the Rustic Mode "Gingham Hop," pseudonym for the latest Rec-Rally, will be in full swing from 8:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. today at Barbour and Waterman gyms as gymnasts and square dancers go all out for costumes in an effort to snag the prizes offered by the committee for the funniest and the most original "get ups." Of what the prizes will consist is still a secret to all but committee members, but they will be announced before the frolic is over. "Anything goes," is the catch word for costumes, and the more "hickish" the outfits, the better it will be for all concerned. Games and sports will be super- vised by members of the recreational leadership class, a course sponsored by the Department of Physical Edu- cation for Women. The course is, as its title implies, designed to teach women how to plan and carry out play time projects for young and old. Consequently, the latest Rec-Rally is providing opportunities for members of the class to get in their so-called practice teaching. Other innovations of "Gingham Hop" are the addition of "Oddity Hall," a room in which all sorts of parlor games will be in progress, and a public address system which will allow square dancers to hear Howard Liebee better as he sounds out the swing steps. Sports and games will rule from 8:30 p.m. to 11 p.m., continuing dur- ing the square dancing which will begin at 9:30. Soldiers and civilians, with or without dates, are invited to attend. A small admission charge will be levied in order to allay the cost of badminton birds, darts and other equipment. Announcement has been made of the election of the following officers of the Figure Skating Club for next year: Nancy Upson, '44, continuing as manager; Ruth Weinberg, '45, secretary, and Kay McFee, '45, treas- urer. University, House, a graduate stu- dent residence, announces its newly elected officers as follows: Claire Trisch, president, Kay Weinert, treas- urer, and Eunice Yarger, social secre- tary. WAACs, Here 'The Moon Is Full' . . . For Recruiting Applicants To Be Interviewed By Lts. Muncie and Hudgens An opportunity to gain first-hand information about the WAAC and to enroll in the Corps will be provided from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Armory and at the War Information Center in the League today and tomorrow when Lieut. Sarah S. Hudgens and Lieut. Nina Muncie, WAAC recruiting officers from Detroit, will interview applicants for the Corps. College women meeting the qualifi- cations of the WAAC may enroll and upon request be placed on inactive status until the close of the current school year or until the completion of the school course in which they are enrolled provided such course can be completed in one year. Requirements Listed If you are a United .States citizen, aged 21 to 44 inclusive, of good repute, of any race, color or creed, married or single, and can meet the physical and remaining requirements, you are eligible for the WAAC. Students who are 20 years old and are interested in joining the WAAC are urged to meet Lieut. Muncie or Lieut. Hudgens and leave their names as the age limit for WAAC recruits will soon be lowered from 21 to 20. Linguists Needed There is a special need for linguists and musicians in the WAAC although women with all types of training can be used. Cashiers, accountants, cleri- cal workers, cooks, cryptographers, dental assistants, library aides, mes- sengers, pharmacists, printers, radio operators, technicians, secretaries, statisticians, stenographers, tele- graph, telephone and teletype opera- tors, typists and X-ray operators are needed also. Lieut. Hudgens said that women are being rushed through more rap- idly than formerly. She explained. "The need is so great that the Army has asked us to rush new WAAC's through. In the past it was often months before a candidate was on her Way to a new Army station. The usual time is now a week. Within two weeks new members are usually ac- cepted and dispatched to their new posts."

Tri-Delts Win Again At Dressings Unit Proving that it's not necessary to be among the especially invited hus- es in order to have the best repre- sentation at the surgical dresing unit, Delta Delta Delta sorority was winner both last week and the week before. The icy weather last week was the obvious reason for the drop in atten- dance, but the committee urges that coeds turn out rain or shine. The especially invited guests for today include Sorosis, Ann Arbor co- eds, Madison House, and Theta, Phi, Alpha. Theta Xi announces the initiation of the following men: Robert Frank Beadle, '46E, Midland; James Perry Eyster, '45E, Toledo, 0.; Lawrence. stanley Commora, '46E, Midland; Stanley Ahlers, '46E, Yonkers, N.Y.; and Fred Schriever, "46E, Grosse Pointe. PAJAMAS. But Youth Marches to War THIS WEEK another spring began, but it is not the usual thoughts of spring that come to mind. The moon is full this week but many young men who a year ago were driving their sweethearts to the movies or walking with themunder the campus elms are in training camps, at sea., on Pacific islands, flying bombers over Europe. Some of them took Gafsa on Thursday and are today marching on Gabes. Some are wounded and some are dead, and more will be. This is the spring they have been waiting for. They must face it, and so must we. And the summer that comes after it. They are attacking or preparing to attack. This is the new thing in the war of the United Nations in March, 1943. The attack will not be easy or cheap. It will test this generation of youth as none has ever been' tested. it will test the faith of those who must remain at home; those to whom the telegrams come, those mentioned in the casualty lists as next of kin. SPRING AND SUMMER are short seasons when one is going to col- lege. or is planning a carefree vacation in the mountains, or has just taken his first job, or when a boy and girl are newly married. They will not be short this year. They Will be made up of nights and days of anx- iety and, for some, of anguish. Courage and faith will be needed to en- dure them.' The mountainsinto which this year's graduates must go are sinister in their tragic beauty. Death will descend from the air on lovely beaches. Time was in this land when youth seemed irresponsible, almost too free from care. The oldsters looked back toward their own sometimes meager beginnings and shook their heads. Were we, in this age of easy freedoms, producing young men of character? And now we know the faith that was latent in them, their strength to carry burdens, their unassuming valor and fortitude. Out of the old springs and summers, out of the dancing, the motoring, the high school pranks, have been born these qualities. This spring they will use them in battle. The blossoming time of 1943 will not soon be forgotten. It will be a legend reverently told and listened to in the winter of their generation. They will be fighting so that springs in time to come may not be like this one. - Reprinted from the New York Times Three Houses Are Scheduling Informal Dances for Week-End The Martha Cook residents are Because Williams House was unable planning a dance to honor a group to arrange for transportation to its of men from the Army Air Corps annual barn dance and hay-ride this Meteorology School here to be held year it will hold a unique Treasure 'from 9 to 12 p.m. tomorrow.
