The event will differ from all other Michigan dances in that it will have decorations. Not only will there be decorations, but there will be special lighting, all in a tasteful color scheme of red, yellow, and black. As though all this were not enough to mark it as the Dance of the Year, a spokes- man for the Union revealed with be- coming diffidence that liquid re- freshments will be dispensed from a still from which one of the members is nobly parting for the evening. Lots of Entertainment! Never will those attending this function have to fall back upon dan- cing or each other's conversation as a means of entertainment. Perish the thought! Those Union boys will be all over the place, riding bicycles, dancing with anything they can take away from her partner, shaving on the bandstand, and generally trying to spread sweetness and light. In the interests of scientific re- search, some serious-minded lads will set off flash bulbs in the dark room. "We want to see," another Union spokesman said, "if anyone ever dpes dance in there." Skits at Intermission Intermission time will be enlivened by a skit entitled "The Low Pressure Salesman". displaying the dramatic talents of George Spaulding, Bill Conant, Ken Holcomb, Dick Cheno- weth, Sanford Perlis, and Bob Gran- dy.

The USO Club would like to have your sug- gestions for activities which will make the Club more like a "home away from home" for you, and a suggest- ion box has been set up in Harris Hall. for comments on the present program and ideas for the future. While most men are acquainted with the dancing held every Wed- nesday, Friday and Saturday and the Sunday morning breakfasts, many do not know about the monthly birth- day parties, classical music library and free lending library services of- fered by the USO Club. Less famil- iar also are the package wrapping, housing assistance and pressing facil- ities to be found in the Club. Recreational activities available to servicemen include ping pong, bad- minton, shuffle board, horseshoes and table games of chess, checkers and cards. Voice recording equipment is on hand at the USO, and records can be made Thursdays and Saturdays. Future plans include picnics, swimming parties, dancing lessons, crayon drawings of individual ser- vicemen to be made by a local artist and a bicycle borrowing system. The USO has obtained the services of an able director, and if a sufficient num- per of men are interested, will or- ganize a Play Production Group. Men interested in such a group should sign up in the assistant director's of- fice before June 1. Jimmy Strauss forts to produce music. "The Union staff is willing to sacrifice the entire evening, which would ordinarily be spent studying, in its efforts to amuse the student body," still another Un- ion spokesman said. Prominent radio comedians Jolly Joe Gentile & Ralph Binge have been invited to attend the dance, yet an- other Union representative revealed.

Its musical merits have been proclaimed and denied as vehemently as musicians once debated the artistry of Wagner's opera and Beethoven's symphonies.
