Wig and Robe
Ball at Union

at the Union tonight when the
Barristers' Society takes over to
present its annual Wig and Robe
Ball from 9 p.m. to midnight.
Music for the semi-formal
dance will be provided by Frank
Tinker and his orchestra.
Contributing to the legal theme
will be walls lined with carica-
tures of past barristers and ticket
takers dressed in the traditional
wig and robe fashion.
Programs too will follow the
theme in the form of old scripts
written in the court room style.
Excluding engineers, the dance
will be open to all. Dress for the
affair will be formal for women
and either dress or dark business
suit for men.
Tickets are on sale at the Law

neering honor societiesand or-

"Where is that great big, hairy
chested man?"
Paul Bunyon, mighty north-
woods patron of the "Paul Bun-
yon Formal," will be a little late
this year.
Warm weather hasn't agreed
with Big Paul since the war days
when he was compelled to work
in the South, and upon hearing
that Ann Arbor was having an
unusually warm fall, he asked the
Foresters' Club to postpone their
dance from Dec. 4 to Jan. 8.
THE LEGENDARY woodsman,
from Wisconsin or Minnesota,
suffered unbearably from the heat
when he took to the South to help
keep the timber rolling for the
armed forces.
It seemed that things kept
getting in his hair, mainly the
heat. Patriotically, he stuck it
out during the war emergency,
but only by daily chest shaving.
The cost of these daily shaves
with special two by four razor
blades became immense but, un-
daunted, he defrayed expenses by
selling the hair for use in stuff-
ing mattresses.
THE BLOW came when the
mattress scions found out that the
Bunyon hair mattresses was sol
tough that the depreciation of
beds was too great. So the mat-
tress men shifted back to regular
stuffing material.
Minus his miattr ess l ii mi-
nopoly, Bunyon can't afford
razor blades, so he is now back
in his own northern territory.l
Chairman Enniss says the cold
snap this week is a good sign.
Paul has promised to send two of
his less hairy companions down
after the first freeze to help with,
ticket sales.
