USO Informal dances from 8 p.m. to Michibomber Will 'Take Off'; Objective Is Fun, Entertainment . _ By NANCY GROBERG For a while there we thought we weren't going to get back to Ann Arbor again. As a matter of fact it didn't look as if anyone on the train was going to hit New York. It's the railroads-they keep messing things up. They have a neat little system, the men who pace up and down the aisles of the Wolverine. They wait around until they're sure you've gone to the diner for an hour or so and then change your car from a New York bound one to a Detroit bound one. If and when you ever see your car again it is in the process of detaching itselfI from the rest of the train. The prob-1 ability of redeeming your baggage and other trivial belongings-such as coat, typewriter, etc.-is practically out of the question, and, running through the station in Detroit in an effort to catch some other car before it rolls away, you are entitled to succumb to any sort of language which seems appropriate. Students have been known to run through the Detroit station for weeks at a time trying to find the rest of the train. Who's Got Your Ticket? But the man who walks up and down the aisle isn't finished with you yet. When you have fallen into the only sleep of the nocturnal journey he will ask for your ticket. Having lost the little red check he stuck in your seat at the beginning of the ride. you discover that people have midnight today and tomorrow in the been thrown off the best trains for ballroom of the USO Club will high- less than that.

Highlighting the entertainment will be Cpl. John Boucher of Co. A and Barbara Wisner, '44, in several skits during the stage shows, which will run twice during the evening. Skit To Be Given In the show also will be Kappa Delta sorority with the "Roimeo and Juliet" skit which won first prize at Victory Vanities II, a hula number by Dorothy Tamura, '44, Chuck Ben- jamin, USMC, as master-of-cere- monies, and several acts to be an- nounced later. Also in the line of entertainment will be a "Gay Nineties" skit by Alpha Gamma Delta sorority, which will run throughout the evening.

Conductors vs. Students Railroad, people live in a world all their own. If they believe in immor- tality, they also believe that the suffering which assures it should be introduced into this world in no un- certair terms. They are obviously nauseated by anything vaguely re- sembling a student and their most unwavering belief could be called the theory of pure animalism as the only characteristic of college people.

'Volunteers Are Urged To Sign At 'U' H osp italI "Volunteer workers who have at- tended an orientation meeting in a previous semester are urged to go. to University Hospital immediately and sign for post," Carol Evans, chairman of Sophomore Project, said yesterday at a meeting of the central commit- tee. An orientation meeting for new volunteers will be held some time next week. Workers at St. Joseph's Hospital do not need to attend a meeting but must see Miss Wanzig, director of nurses, for instructions. Volunteer posts at University Hos- pital include posts in wards, on pri- vate floors and in clinics and other stations where volunteers do not work with patients. Because of the desperate wartime shortage of regular staff members, both University and St. Joseph's Hos- pitals are badly in need of volunteer aid, Miss Evans said. University wo- men are asked to contribute at least two hours a week. They may go to the hospitals during free afternoons or evenings. Information about hospital work may be obtained by going directly to the hospitals or at the information booth in the lobby of the League, 3 s NN P The Vtoi5£/ckj ARE BEAUTI ES 'Trouser fit, in soft flannels and twills.

For every new man, they purchase a new gold fish to add to their fish- bowl. In the words of one of them, "Sort of like a harem, only not exactly." On the day they are to go out with a certain man, they transfer the corresponding goldfish into a smaller bowl . . . a reminder. If they are 'doubling,' they transfer two of the fish to the smaller bowl. Currently they have five fish- named Tom, Earl, Bruce, Dick and Reggie. The coeds claim that they choose each new fish to echo the personality of the man in the case. a frilly blouse and you'r, dressed for your best date. { TH E JUMPER .95 THE SHIRT 00 THE BLOUSES rom .00 .
