Maize and blue will dominate the scene of the ballroorh, including two large "M" blocks at either end of the; Advance Marks C oed Housing By BARBARA McNEILL At the time of Madelon Louisa Stockwell, '72, who was the first woman to attend the University, housing facilities for women were practically non-existent. Although these women were an' older responsible group and very seri- ous about their study, they had great difficulty in finding places to live. People felt that they were "queer" members of the student body, and re- fused to allow them in their rooming houses. Consequently, the women were often forced to live in places where men were also in residence. However, shortly after she be- came Dean of Women in 1902, Mrs. Myra B. Jordan put through a reg- ulation preventing women from living in mixed rooming houses. The sororities gave their support to this project by agreeing that they would not consider pledging women living in unapproved houses. The second step in the improve- ment-of facilities for women was tak- en by the League in 1910, when they selected nine homes to. be used by university women, and subsequently designated a series of others, the group being known as 'league houses." At this time, each coed was met at the time of her arrival in Ann Arbor and safely settled in her place of residence by a committee from the League. In 1910 and 1911, President An-c gell and Mrs. Jordan campaigned " vigorously for donations of dormi- tories. As a result, the gifts of room. The fireplace will be lighted in an effort to establish the season's spirit. Co-chairmen for the dance are George Shaffer and Milan Miskovsky. Additional chairmen include Jerry Comer, publicity; Brad Straatma and Dick Cortright, decorations, Allan Farnsworth, tickets. Entertainment, Refreshments Heads Eugene Sikorovsky and Arthur DerDerian will be in charge of enter- tainment and refreshments and An- drew Poledor and Louis Lapierre, programs and invitations. Corsages will be presented to the women as favors. Entertainment is planned during the intermission, in which campus talent will be featured. In addition, refreshmnents will be served. Tickets are to be limited to 450 couples each night, and will be avail- able to the entire student body. Patti DuPont Will Be Featured Frank Tinker and his orchestra, with vocalist Patti DuPont, will fur- nish the mus:.c for the dance. Tinker, featured at xvxeekly Union dances, is this season's new band leader. He re- placed last year's band leader, Bill Layton. An ex-Navy man, Tinker returned to campus last spring. The members of the 14-piece orchestra, service vet- erans, are for the most part graduate students completing work begun here before the war. Reestablishing a post-war custom, the Union Executive Council will don red ribbons on their lapels during the formal affair. The tradition will be carried out in all future formal events. Helen Newberry Residence and Martha Cook Building were, an- nounced in 1913, followed by Betsy Barbour House and Adelia Cheever House in 1920. During this period, control of closing hours in wom- en's residences was put into effect and has remained, with modifi- cations, until the present time. The first gift of the organized alumnae was Alumnae House, donat- ed in 1917 and now known as Mary Markley House. In addition, the Alumnae Association has sponsored Henderson House, which is soon to be rebuilt to h'ouse 24 women instead of the present 16. With ,the completion of the new dormitory for women near Mosher- Jordan Halls, apd with increased fa- cilities in league houses, housing for coeds at the ,University will continue to progress, according to Dean of Women Alice C. Lloyd. Union To Hold Record Mixer Affair Will Be Patterned After 'Make-believe Ballroom' The Union Executive Council will sponsor a cecord mixer patterned after the daily Detroit radio pro- gram, "Make--believe Ballroom" from 2 to 5 p.m. today in the Union Ball- rcom.

Hostesses will be present to i'rtroduce the guests and further the spirit of informality. Students will be able to listen to the game over the air, or dance to records until the teams are in scor- ing position, as is the custom for away from home football games. Emcee Jerry Comer will share the spotlight with announcers George Shaffer and Allan Farnsworth. Shaf- fer is announcing football scores and outstanding plays, and Farnsworth will handle farcial commercials. Rec- ords are under the charge of Pete Pfohl. Ed Chase, originator of the "Make believe Ballroom," granted permission to the Union to use the theme of his program and records of his program have also been ap- proved. Future matinee dances will also feature Comer as-master of ceremon- ies. The affa.r is being sponsored in an effort to provide an informal meeting place for student use.

Skits publicizing Soph Cabaret, which is to be held from 8:30 p.m. to midnight Saturday, Dec. 7, in the League Ballr.,om, will be given during the dinner hour Monday in various women's dormitories. The houses ;n which these skits are to be given are, Betsy Barbour, Couz- ens Hall, Helen Newberry, Martha Cook, Mosher and Stockwell.

Paul LaVoie and his orchestra, with vocalists Jean Regal and Jackie Fish- er, will be featured at "Soph Tale- Spin," this year's edition of Cabaret, for dancing from 9 p.m. to midnight in the League Ballroom.

The program also in- cludes two floorshows to be given in Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Refresh- ments will be available in the Grand Rapids Room. The Cabaret is not strictly a date affair, as students may attend sing- ly or in couples. Everything but the refreshments are included in the ad- mission price. The Cabaret, produced annually, except during the duration of the war, was revived in 1944 with "Soph Music Bar." Last year's production, entitled "Mistletoe Mingle," carried out a Christmas theme with decora- tions and costumes. In former years the Cabaret took over both floors of the League for an entire week-end, but recently it has been presented for one night and has utilized only the second floor of the League * re STUDENT FLIER-Margaret Ferebee of Ernul, N.C., was the first to enroll for a flying course at Women's College of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
