SStamp Sales
TO' Sororities
Rise over Quota
Sorority women have bought $1,150
in war stamps this semester, Jane
Strauss, JGP chairman of war
stamp sales for sororities, announced
yesterday.
Sorority sales were 48 per cent
over their quota for the first two
months of the semester. The quota
has been set at $1 per month per
woman.
Miss Strauss went on to say, "Sev-
eral of the houses have not made
their stamp quotas, and other houses
are carrying a large part of the
load." She also emphasizes the need
for every house reaching its goal i
the semester.
Wenley Sales Rise
Sales of war stamps to residents of
Wenley House have reaiched a total
of $150 this semester.
According to Miss Strauss, this to-
tal is particularly impressive because
Wenley House only began their sales
two weeks ago.
JGP started to direct sales in men's
residences last semester.

she will relate some of her unusuial
and colorful experiences in Europe.
Miss HAyden graduated from the
Univerity in 1942 and served with
the Iled Cross in England, Scotland,
Normandy, Belgium, Holland and
Germany. After leaving England,
where she was stationed at the Rain-
bow Corner, a London service club
for enlisted men, Miss Hayden served
with a Cinemobile Unit.
Societies Will Tapl
Miss Hayden stated that it was not
unusual for her Cinemobile to show
movies to men, on leave from t"e
front lines, in ditches, abandoned
houses or in hay lofts. "Dottie La-
mour and Lana Turner were roost
popular with the servicemen," re-
marked Miss Hayden.
Three Ethel McCormick scholar-
ships will be awarded, by Dean Alice
Lloyd, to those women who have
shown ousmanding all-around ability
on campus.
The senior honor societies of Mor-
tar :Board. Scroll and Senior Society

respective groups at Installation
Night. This impressive ceremony adds
excitement to one of the most out-
standing events concerning women's
campus activities.

DUKE ELLINGTON--World-famous composer and maestro will be
spotlighted on the bandstand at the 1945 edition of Senior Ball, playing
his original compositions as well- as current favorites in his own inimi-
table style.
FORMA L DACNCE:
Duke Ellington's Famous

Band To Play at Senior Bal

Strains of world-famous musicj
written and conducted, by their
world - famous composer - maestro,
Duke Ellington, will help University
students celebrate an all-campus Sen-
ior Ball Friday, June 1, in the I-M
Building.
Tickets for the formal dance will'
be on sale from 9 a. m. to 3 p. m.
EWT (8 a. m. to 2 p. m. CWT) today
and tomorrow at the Union Travel
Desk. Sales booths will be set up
next week at different places on the
campus.
A song contest to determine the
selections students would most like
to hear Ellington play, is being
conducted through the ticket sales.
A detachable stub is attached to
each ticket. Purchasers may write
the name of their favorite song on
the stub which will then be entered
in the contest.
Ellington originally intended tot
study art at Pratt Institute through
a scholarship for his work in oils at
Armstrong Technical High School in
Washington, D. C. He picked up piano
playing by ear, however, and some-
time afterward learned to read music.
From then on he was bound to a
career in music.
"The Duke" worked up from Har-
lem night clubs to Broadway vaude-

ville acts. He worked with Ziegfield{
on "Show Girl" and began to intro-
duce his own compositions. His
"Mood Indigo" was written in 1930
and shortly afterward he anticipated
the imminent swing era with "It
Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got
That Swing."
Recognition awards began com-
ing to Ellington as he won the
ASCAP prize for the most import-
ant songs of the year in 1935, '38
and '39. The winning songs were
"Solitude," "Caravan" and "I Let
A Song Go Out Of My Heart."
In 1943 Ellington's popularity was
confirmed by the annual Downbeat!
poll which voted him number one
band of the year. Another auspi-
cious recognition of Duke Ellington's
talent was given in Carnegie Hall
when a capacity house heard his band
in an anniversary concert of his own
music. "The Duke" has since ap-,
peared several times in Carnegie Hall
