TltMICHIG;AN DAILY VARn Blackfoot Ball Invades Campus After advance notice to all campus in the form of Gargantua size black footprints, the Alpha Tau Omegas will present their annual formal, "Blackfoot Ball" from 9 to 12 p.m. Saturday in the League Ballroom. Special guests of the ATO's will be the Sigma Nu's, their tradi- tional rivals since the days of the Civil War. The term "blackfoot" was applied to the ATO's at Virginia Military Institute, where the Coke Hour Fetes-Faculty Instructors of Germanic Lan- guages will be the honored guests from " 4 to 5 p.m. today in the Grand Rapids Room of the eague. Hostesses will be from Helen Newberry and Pi Beta Phi. Cokes and potato chips are served free of charge over red- checkered table-cloths by the hostesses. Besides talk of such things as classes, recent elections and other general topics, guests will have an opportunity to play bridge and ping-pong. So-chairmen for the Student- Faculty hours are Jean Heidgen from Panhellenic and Helen Smith from Assembly Association. Conversation will probably be carried on in a number of lan- guages since the German lan- guages include Russian and Scan- dinavian tongues as well as Ger- man. Guests need not necessarily be able to speak one of these lan- guages, however, since the Stu- ent-Faculty Hour is open to any- one who wishes to attend. Frosh Weekend Tickets for the Maize .team's osh weekend dance, "Commo- ion in the Ocean," are on sale now in the League Undergraduate pffice.

TED SMITH and his orchestra will supply the music for this an- nual dance in a tropical atmo- sphere supplied by palms, a gal- axy of stars and a fullmoon. Be- hind the bandstand will be a mural of the traditional black feet boiling in a cannibal pot, with men in black as guards. Flowers wlil be given to all women present at the dance. Working on the dance are Maurice Allen, Paul A. Bernas, David Hoexter, Marwood Rupp, Michael. Service, Robert Smith and Raymond Valley. * * * AMONG THE PATRONS are Gov. and Mrs. G.

Crew-Cut Vogue The ever popular short haircut is again the vogue this spring, and the campus queens know it, as we can see by the growing number of feminine crew-cuts appearing on the Diag. Cosmopolitan Air-Pervades East Quad Ball East Quadrangle's Cosmopoli- tan, semi-formal ball, "An Inter- national Affair," will be held from 9 to 12 p.m. Saturday in the four dormitory dining rooms. Tickets are on sale for $3.30 to all EastaQuadrangle residents. They can be purchased from salesmen, whose names are post- ed on house bulletin boards. The men of East Quad will find their home transformed into an international wonderland Sat- urday evening. Residents and their guests will step from familiar Ann Arbor streets into four new climes, ranging from the tropics of Rio to the frigid Arctic. Their first stop will probably be the snowy wastes of Iceland where the Mack Ferguson Trio will pro- vide music for the dancers. Strains of Latin music, supplied by Ken Norman and his orchestra, will then draw them to the port of Rio Baie, in other times recog- nized as the Anderson-Strauss dining hall. If wanderlust urges Quad men and their dates to travel on, they will find an African jungle, which they can explore to the rhythm of Chuck Meyer's Orchestra, just a few steps away. To climax the evening they can visit the exotic Orient, where Dave Clark, Quad resident, will be fea- tured in honkytonk piano solos. Panhellenic Association has voted by a three quarters major- ity to withdraw the Activity Cup awarded each year. This award was given annually on Installation Night to the sor- ority which had accumulated the highest number of activity points during the preceding academic year. * * * MARY STIERER, president of Panhellenic, pointed out, "The cancellation of the activity cup does not mean that activities are being re-emphasized. Panhellenic feels that too much pressure has been put on each coed when houses are striving for more and more activities to raise their total number of activity points." "Coeds often try to do too much and many times go out for a job for its point value rather than for personal rea- sons. This tends to fill many committees with women who are not really interested in what they have undertaken." "Too much competition of any sort is harmful, whether in activ- ities or athletics. One of the re- sults can be a breakdown in Pan- hellenic spirit. Activities should be an individual, rather than a house matter, therefore the individual awards given at Installation Night by Panhellenic are being re- tained." * * * ACCORDING TO Miss Ethel McCormick, social director of the League, "one of the house's first responsibilities is to develop in- itiative and leadership. Abolish- ing the award puts an emphasis on individual rather than house spirit." "Some women who are shy or lack initiative have to be urged to enter activities. These same coeds will become interested once they have entered into the activity, however." Mary Carolyn Wright, chair- man of Interviewing Committee, which makes all League appoint- ments, expressed her point of view. "The withdrawal of the Panhellenic Activities Cup may reduce the number of girls who will interview for League positions but it will increase the applicants who are truly interested in ac- tivities. "ACTIVITIES bring activity points to a house, but the thing that is so often overlooked is the lasting effect of participation. "College is a place where we "grow up." By working with other people we gain poise and learn or- ganization. Many hidden poten- tialities have been developed in this way."

"Music of Yesterday and Today" played the Blue Barron way will be featured at the 18th annual IFC Ball to be presented from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday, May 6 at the Intramural Building. Barron began his musical career playing in various college outfits while attending Ohio University. After graduation, he started his own theatrical booking business in Cleveland but the urge to get back into the band world led him to organize his own orchestra. IN HIS SEARCH for talent, he took particular care in choosing. his musicians, keeping in mind his theory of combining swing with sweet music. He worked hard in emphasizing showmanship in or- 1315 South University *Samples and prices will be available this month. Phone 9533 I 1 r, . . t ,--._. ti ..
