II
The music of Ray Anthony's band
will be featured at the Feather Mer-
chants Ball to be presented from 9
to 1 a.m. Friday, March 29, at the
Intramural Building by the Veterans
Organization.
Before entering the service, An-
thony played the trumpet for such
well known bands as Al Donahue,
Jimmy Dorsey, and Glen Miller, ap-
pearing with the latter band leaderj
in the motion picture "Sun Valley
Serenade."
Popular Pacific Band
In 1942 Anthony joined the Navy
and appeared for a year on the "Great
Lakes Happy Hour" and "Meet the
Navy" broadcasts. After this period
Anthony's Navy band toured the
Pacific for 18 months and played for
the armed forces personnel at the
Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Honolulu.
His band was featured on armed
forces radio broadcasts, G. I. Journal,
Command Performance, and Yank
Bandstand programs, beamed to ser-
vicemen all over the world. By virtue
of its popularity as the "Hottest Band
in the Pacific," his band was awarded
an "oscar" by the G.L's.
Ray Anthony was to the Pacific
servicemen what Johnny Desmond,
another Glen Miller protege, was to
G.L's in the European theater. Both
were relatively unknown until they
entered the services, and each rose to
fame through the acclaim of the
critical armed forces audiences.
Offers Swing Music
His civilian orchestra consists of
19 pieces and offers dancers a swing
style of rhythm. Dee Keating, whose
singing has beery compared to that of
Ella Fitzgerald and Mildred Bailey,
has returned after four years of re-
tirement to sing with Anthony's band.
He is currently playing an extended
engagement at a St. Louis hotel.
The Feather Merchants Ball is a
semi-formal all-campus dance, and
tickets will go on sale tomorrow at
the Union, League, and on the diag-
onal.
Underwriters Club
To Meet in League
There will be a social meeting of the
Underwriters group at 7:45 p.m.
Tuesday, in the Teague, and all wo-
men students who are earning their
room and board by providing house-
hold assistance in the homes in which
they live are invited to attend.
This is the third in a series of such
social gatherings which are intended
to help women living in private
homes to become acquainted with
each other. Rua Slavens will be host-
ess for the evening.
Simplicity is the keynote of this
season's hairdos, whether they be
swirled in broad "ribbon" effects,
braided in a neat coronet, or twisted
high in an Oriental knot.

Ball central committee positions will
be extended until five p.m. Wednes-

By LYNNE FORD
Rain threatens, professors are dis-
gruntled at "I'm sorry, I'm not pre-
pared," and coeds are sporting a
pooped-out look of futility, all of
which are conclusive signs that rush-
ing is rushing.
Nervous rushees saunter to houses
with studied carelessness at just
the moment which is neither too
early nor too latf, prepared to make
that all-important first impres-
sion at the opening of the door.
It seems superficial and unfair,
but unfortunately, the first fleeting
impression of a rushee as she enters
a house is often the deciding factor
in her fate. She need not be the lead-
ing competitor for the title of beauty
queen, but her grooming and smart
appearance should be impeccable.
In the same line, the actual
coat, dres or suit she wears is
not as important as te condition
it is in. If it is ;cred. brushed, and
neat, half the atte is won. The
question of babushkas is up to the
rushee. Certain., no one would
blame her for trying to salvage
what is left of her curl, but the im-
migrant look may spoil the com-
plete effect of her outfit. Doffing
them at the door is probably the
answer.
If the invitation says "informal",
it usually means flats, socks, skirts
and sweaters. A word of caution to
freshmen, however, size forty sweat-
ei's, no matter how alluring they
were in high school, are apt to look
juvenile when seen next to a trim
suit or tucked in and belted skirt
and sweater.
"Formal" parties are exercises in
taste and judgment. Tailored dress-
es and suits, heels and hose carry
away top honors at these parties,
leaving sequins, drapes, and fleurs
in the dust.
In all fairness, it should be said
that a rushee's conversation and per-
sonality are more important than
her appearance. but in the overall
analysis, many more rushers see her
than meet her, and the manner in
which she is dressed and groomed is
one basis for judgment.
The League Coke Bar is beginning
its second semester of activity as
the only place on campus that com-
bines food, popular music, and danc-
ing, for afternoon relaxation.
The CokeLBar is located in the
downstairs League dining-room, to
the right of the side entrance. It is
open every afternoon, from 1:30 p.m.
to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Tables have been arranged so that
there is a space in the middle of the
floor for dancing and a juke box with
the latest popular selections pro-
vides the music.
This afternoon entertainment spot
was started last semester with the
idea of providing a place for students
to get acquainted. Any student may
come unescorted or with a date, and,
according to Betty Vaughn, the
chairman, it has become an ideal'
place to meet old friends as well as
make new ones..
Panhel Interviewing
Interviewing for Panhel positions
for Assembly-Panhel Ball central
committee will be held from 3 p.m.
to 5 p.m. tomorrow and Wednesday
in the Panhel Office of the League.
Coeds who have not yet registered
for interviews are asked to sign for
an interviewing time on the Panhel
sheet in the Undergraduate Office
of the League.
