Biddle Says Corcoran's Influence Was 'Overrated' WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.- (P)- Attorney-General Biddle expressed the opinion today that Thomas G. (Tommy the Cork) Corcoran's influ- ence with the Justice Department was somewhat over-rated. The cabinet official appeared be- fore the Senate Immigration Com- mittee ostensibly to recommend ap- proval of his executive assistant, Ugo Carusi, as immigration and Natura- lization Commissioner replacing Earl G. Harrison, resigned. The Carusi nomination, however, became only a peg on which to hang a three-hour give 'and take on the recent ouster of Assistant Attorney- General Norman M. Littell. Anglo-American Clash WASHINGTON, Dec. 9-(lP)-The Anglo-American clash over Greek' and Italian politics is regarded here4 as having cleared the air consider- ably for the meeting early next year of Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin.

To the/ question, "Which is the most popular dancing spot on cam- pus?" all students will enthusiastic- ally answer., "The Union Ballroom." This is the twenty-fifth season that the Rainbow Room of the Michigan Union has maintained tops in popu- larity. Since its grand opening dur- ing the 1919-1920 school year, the ballroom has been used consistently for dances by various organizations on campus. Before the war came, most of the organizations on campus sponsor- ed at least one dancea year. The Galens, the junior and senior Me- dical honor society, sponsored the Caduceus Ball while the Dent stu- dents on campus backed the Odon- to Ball. The Engineer's Ball, and the Slide Rule Ball were staged by the Engineer's on campus. Other popular dances of peace . times, were the Architects' Ball and the Bus. Ad. students' Capitalist Ball. The Michigan Union was the lo- cation of all these gala affairs. One of the most popular dances, has been the annual Fall and Spring Union Formals, sponsored by the Michigan Union Executive Council. Last Saturday, the tenth Union For- mal was held under the directorship of Jim Plate and Bob Precious. It has been a tradition to hold the Union Fall Formal after the last football game of the year. The Spring Formal, on the other hand, is usually put on in April. The Union Council also sponsored the Bunny Hop at Easter, and the New Year's Eve Jamboree. These were always considered outstanding events in the campus social program. In addi- tion the Union has also given the students an opportunity to dance on weekends at its weekend dances. Besides the regularly scheduled dances by the Union, the Executive Council also held many mix'ers in the Union Ballroom for the purpose of helping students on campus be- come better acquainted. Freshman Tea Dances, Coffee Hours, G. I. Stomps, and most recently the Grid Shuffles have attracted large crowds through the Unions doors. It has been a tradition on campus for many years to hold a Seltzer Shuffle on New Year's Day. Each person who attended the dance was given a bottle of seltzer water so that he or she would sober up and get rid of that morning after New Year's Eve feeling. Many prominent campus bands have supplied the music for the Union at the dances held in Ball- room. At the time of the grand opening to the Ballroom, Paul Wil- son and Chuck Wolcott were lead- ing dance bands on campus. They were followed by Bob Stenile and a brief visit by Freddie Grofe. Aft- er them followed Bill Sawyer and his hand. For many years, Sawyer and his band were held in the highest esteem by the students here at Ann Arbor. When Bill Sawyer was called to Chi- cago to assume a government posi- tion, his place was taken by the very popular Billy Layton. Layton has made a fine showing this season. With his Sinatra voice and swell band, Layton was acclaimed by all at last week's formal, and can be heard in the future any Friday or Saturday night from 9:00 until 12:00, keeping alive the traditions of the Rainbow Room of the Michigan Un- ion.
