Field Day At
ChanceDancwe
The Willow Run Chapter -of
American Veterans Committee has
hit upon a new method for a girlj
to have a multitude of dates all
in the same evening.
The "method" is "Chance
Dance," to be presented from 9
p.m. to midnight Saturday in Ma-
sonic Auditorium. Johnny Barnes
and his orchestra will supply the
music.
To attend the dance, a girl signs
her name on a list posted in the
large women's dormitories. The
names will then be placed in pro-
grams, to be distributed among the
men attending the dance.
The name in the program is the
man's date for the dance, "date"
in this case meaning he will call
for her and dance the first dance
with her.
At the dance all women's names
will be placed in a large bowl, from
which the men will draw for part-
ners for individual dances.
The women will be escorted
home by the man with whom they
have the last dance.
Women students who wish to at-
tend "Chance Dance" must sign
their names on the lists in the
dormitories by Saturday.
Men may purchase tickets for
the dance from AVC members.
