Unique, original instrumenta-
tion of sweet and danceable music
blending into the informal atmos-
phere of the summer Casbah will
be provided by campus band-
leader Art Starr and his five
"quality" music makers.
Starr's boys, who will keep their
"instrumentation voiced for the
Michigan crowd," with an accent
on personal requests, will attempt
to give the Casbah the appro-
priate informality of a party
dance. By combining the popular
"Tinker tempo" with Starr Sex-
tet arrangement the new Casbah
maestro hopes to provide summer
session students with a pleasant
innovation in dance band style.
Complementing the sextet will
be WJR songstress Renie Peters,
Renie is currently featured coast
to coast on a regular Saturday
program.F
Preceding the Casbah engage-
ment Starr has a long band his-
tory. He organized his first band

"Sophisticats," and played De-
troit social events until the war
years. Bowdoin College was his
next stopping place, where he
created a student outfit called the
Polar Bears which catered to col-
lege crowds at Yale, Bates, Uni-
versity of Maine and Bradford
Junior College. His college popu-
larity rated him an engagement at
the Hotel Roosevelt in New York.
His service record holds engage-
ments with the "All Vets" in
many places of distinction includ-
ing the Cu Ming Tennis Club in
China.
Art Starr transferred to Michi-
gan last summer and here collect-
ed a personnel who are in agree-
ment as to tension releasing and
relaxing factors in good dance'
band music. Notwithstanding
their preferences for dance-abil-
ity, the sextet with the arrange-
ments of Bill Ryburn, ex-Bill
Sawyer man, is equally competent
on the up-tempo arrangements.
Jazz arranger Ryburn holds
the alto sax position and doubles
on the clarinet. He is a veteran of
both Jerry Wald and Dean Hud-
son's band.
Chuck Daugherty continues the
list of "quality boys." Chuck
handles the trombone in "Bill

MeetJune 5
Detroit Fair To Contribute
To Funds for Scholarships
University of Michigan alumnae
clubs throughout the state will
take over the Women's Building
at the State Fair Grounds, De-
troit, on June 5 when they com-
bine efforts to stage their gala
June Fair.
Benefits from the day-long event
will go to alumnae supported pro-
jects on the campus: Henderson
House for undergraduates, the
Catherine Kellogg woman's pro-
fessorship and the Alumnae Coun-
cil fund for scholarship and stun
dent aid.
Doors will open to the public
at 10 a.m. Booths, staffed and
maintained by various alumnae
groups, will offer both new Und
rejuvenated used merchandise
of every description. There will
be children's clothing and equip-
ment, white elephants, flowers,
baked goods, candies, aprons,
jewelry, toys and Michigan me-
mentos.
A midway of concessions will re-
place booths as they sell out. Fea-
tured attractions will include dish
breaking, a floating target pitch-
ing game, darts, a children's grab
bag, candid photographs and for-
tune telling. Refreshment booths
will dispense carnival fare all day.
Alumnae and their guests are
invited to the reunion and in-
formal dance at 7 p.m. Reminis-
cences will be interspersed with
old college songs at the reunion
and the final fillip will be pro-
vided by bonafide carved up
tables, wobbly chairs and nicked
pitchers of the famous Pr'etzel
Bell, imported from Ann Arbor
for the Fair.
The geographic scope of the en-
terprise will be stressed in decora-
tions on the first floor with ban-
ners and posters of greeting ex-
pected from clubs unable to at-
tend. Nostalgia will keynote the
decor for the dance. Large maps
of the campus bearing imagina-
tive sketches of campus landmarks
will line the walls. Clusters of
maize and blue balloons will deco-
rate the ceiling.
Mrs. Hope Petrouleas Hansen of
Detroit heads the hundreds of
alumnae working on June Fair.
