'M' room on the first floor of Yost
Field House.
The club will give the record
Dance Friday for old and new
members and their guests to cele-
brate the successful football sea-
son. The dance will be very in-
ormal and in view of the fact
,hat club members will be wear-
ng their navy blue "M"
cacters it would prooably be un-
ise for coeds attending to wear
angora sweaters.
The 'M' room, completed last
month, was presented by "M"
alumni to the undergraduate
club. The room has dancing
and game facilities and is mod-
ernistic in design.
Large photographs representing
every Michigan sport adorn the
walls. The club plans to replace
these with a sports mural in the
near future.
The 'M' room is designed as a
meeting place for graduate and
undergraduate "M" men and
will be open for informal gath-
erings after every sports event
this year. Men may bring guests
and refreshments will be served.
Tentative plans are underway
for regular Sunday social gather-
ings featuring dancing and re-
freshments. New 'M' Club mem-
bers and old members returning
to campus are invited to partici-
pate in the new activities.
The dance committee is headed
by John McCarthy. Assistants are
Ralph Trimborn, in charge of
publicity, and Herb Barton in
charge of dance arrangements.
Women interested in officiat-
ing in the Interhouse Basket-
ball Tournament will meet at
5 p.m. tomorrow in the Fencing
Room of Barbour Gym. Knowl-
edge of basketball rules is sug-
gested for those attending.

weeks old daughter of screen
actress Betty Grable and band
leader Harry James, sits on her
mother's lap in Hollywood for
her first portrait.
Coed Teams
Will Compete
With the completion of the vol-
leyball tournament, women's resi-
dences, sororities and league
houses have launched into the an-
nual basketball tournament.
Each team in the contest is
composed of six regular players
plus substitutes. Players on one
team may not transfer to another
team even though one team is de-
feated. Each team must also have
a time and scorer to be eligible in
the tournament.
Scoring rules include two
points for a field goal and one
point for free throw.
Changes in the schedule, an-
nounced each week in The Daily,
must be made before noon Mon-
day or the game will be consid-
ered defaulted. Default also re-
sults if the team is not ready to
play five minutes after the game
is called or if the team has no
timer or scorer. Teams which lose
or default the first round in the
tournament are entered in the B
Tournament.
Traditionally the winner of
the B Tournament may chal-
lenge the runner-up of the A
Tournament and then if suc-
cessful may challenge the win-
ner of the A Tournament.
The WAA Basketball Club will
be an honorary group selected
from outstanding players partici-
pating in the Intrahouse tourna-
ment. Activities will begin in the
spring semester.

In an attempt to make this
year's Union formal the most ex-
tensive in history, over 10,000 feet
of decorative streamers in various
colors will be used in a plan to
decorate the Union ballroom.
The traditional dance, spon-
sored by the Union executive
council, customarily the first
strictly formal all-campus dance
of the year, will be held from 9
a.m. to midnight Friday.
Ticket Sales Limited
Ticket sales have been limited
to 400 couples to insure adequate
dancing space and comfort. Tick-
ets may be purchased at a booth
in the lobby of the Union. Frank
Tinker and his orchestra will pro-
vide music for dancing and will
feature Margeann as vocalist.
Included in the evening's en-
tertainment will be an intermis-
sion program featuring Frank An-
derson playing boogie woogie at
the piano, and the varsity quartet
including 1st tenor, Rowland Mc-
Laughlin; 2nd tenor, Bill Phebus;
baritone, Jack Jensen; and bass,
Bill Jensen.
Corsages Given
Gardenia corsages will be pre-
sented to all women attending the

of the dance floor and candid
shots of couples scheduled.

Coeds Produced
ColorfulShows
By DELORES OLSEN
When several hundred sopho-
more coeds meet each year and
pool their talents, the result is an-
other edition of Soph Cabaret-
a full evening of entertainment
ranging from the soothing to the
exhiliarating.
As far back as anyone can re-
member. sophomore women pre-
sented a circus in one form or an-
other as their annual project,
such as the "Bungling Bros. Cir-
cus" of 1927 which was affiliated
with the Annual League in Sarah
Caswell Angell Hall.
Deciding to be a bit more so-
phisticated, the sophomore class
in 1929 deviated from the path
of their predecessors and inau-
gurated the Cabaret. Not too
pretentious when it was first
offered in Barbour Gymnasium,
the Cabaret was nevertheless a
successful venture.
The production gained popu-
larity with a number of varied
events included during the eve-
ning, such as floorshows, dancing
and novelty booths assuring the
Cabaret a permanent place in
campus life henceforth.
Moved to the League in 1931,
the Cabaret was designed to
represent a Mardi Gras. The hit
of the production was a puppet
chorus in which women wore
grotesque masks, characteristic
of the theme.
A nautical theme, with the ball-
room decorated to resemble a
ship, and floorshows consisting of
'gob' numbers, was the Cabaret
idea for 1932. The Gay Nineties
inspired the "Brass Rail" in 1933,
and a somewhat naive plan was
devised for 1935 entitled "Pseudo
Psilly Psymphony."
The Cabaret of 1941, which
was based on a Monte Carlo
theme, fell on Dec. 5 and 6, the
two days before Pearl Harbor.
It was the last production for
several years because of the
war. When the project was re-
sumed in 1944 with the "Music
Box," the Cabaret was enlarged
to cover the entire second floor
of the League as it continues to
do.
The nature of the Cabaret may
be explained by its four-fold pur-
pose. It exists to bring the sopho-
more women together in a mutual
class effort; to develop and broad-
en friendship among Cabaret par-
ticipants; to support a worthwhile
project selected by the central
committee; and maily to produce
an evening of well-organized, va-
ried activity and recreation for as
many students as possible.
These purposes are achieved
during the year-long period that
Cabaret preparations are in
progress. Coeds who are inter-
ested in working on the Cabaret
must petition and interview for
positions a year before it is
scheduled. Chairmen are named
at Recognition Night in rthe
spring, and later meet together
to decide upon a theme.

men who write the script, plan
decorations, work out rehearsal
schedules, and make general
plans.
At a mass meeting in October,
the organized central commit-
tee enlists the aid of several
hundred sophomores to work on
the Business Staff of the Cab-
aret or in the floorshow itself.
After several months of meet-
ings and rehearsals the Cabaret is
ready for the publc in a completed
form. Rewards are in store for
the har d-working production
chairmen who -are honored at a
banquet which terminates activi-
ties of the Cabaret for the year.
Law Students
Sponsor Ball
Reviving a pre-war Law School
tradition, the Senior law students
are sponsoring the "Wig and Robe
Ball," a semi-formal Christmas
dance, to be held from 9 p.m. to
midnight, Friday, Dec. 12, in the
Union Ballroom.
With music by Frank Tinker's
orchestra, the central theme of
the dance will be old English inns-
of-court. Ticket takers will wear
the traditional long wigs and
robes of English justices, and the
rest of the atmosphere will be in
a similar vein.
Students in charge of the
Christmas dance are Ned Glad,
chairman; Al Rendlen and Dick
Morris, vice-chairmen; Gus Carl-
son, treasurer; Bill White, deco-
rations; -Jean Jordan, programs
and printing.
Attendance is restricted to stu-
dents in the law school, ahd the
number of tickets available is
limited.

by Elizabeth loodiward
America's foremost authority
on young people's problems
You spent hours making yourself out for the
-- Jbig do. And you passed inspection from
every angle. You lined up your lines...
plotted your imprint on various hims and hers. Success
was a foregone conclusion.
Then you made your grand entrance.Walked across the
room. And before you opened your mouth...
you'd told your secret.
Everyone who watched you walk had you doped out.
Your disposition...your personality...your opinion
of yourself.
You didn't think about that.You'd concentrated so hard on
the impression you were going to make that you'd
forgotten you could undo it in spite of yourself. It behooves
you to discover in a full-length mirror just what secrets
you're telling behind your own back!
Do you strut? Shoulders back...head tilted... nose
skyward? Is your pan slightly dead ... eyebrows elevated?
You may be the friendliest person in the world ....but
your walk is saying that you care only about you.
Do you scoot? Your tailfeathers close to the ground ...
shoulders bent against the wind ... arms flaying the air for
extra momentum? You may be capable of the weightiest
thoughts...but you impress folks as being too hurried to
stick to one subject... too fickle for long-range friendships.
You're fun ...but not to be taken seriously.
Do you slink? Joints all limber...leading with the
tummy? Your disposition may be quite definite .. . hut
you're making people think you're unsure and shy.
They expect you to have a buttery voice ... to fawn for
favors...to spill over with gush and goo.
Do you swish? Feet dancing ... skirts swaying ... head
tossing...eyes alight...voice full of song? It goes with
bouncing good humor and a lively interest in stuff and things.
Such a stride invites people to join the parade with you.
Artistry with make-up and clothes can accomplish wonders
with your raw material. But three or more thoughts to your
posture will help you keep a few other secrets to yourself!
