WAA AWARDS will be the last

cipation.
Junior women traditionally

distinguished by green bows in
their hair.
Patricia McKenna, president of

of the best vocal stylists and drum-
mers in the orchestra world.
McKinley's proficiency at the
drums was best displayed when
he and Will Bradley played to-
gether and made musical history
in their innovation of the eight-
to-the-bar style, Boogie-Woogie.
McKinley - Bradley records are
regarded as collectors' items
nowadays.
Despite the fact that McKinley's
outfit is considered one of the most
progressive in music Ray has re-
instated some of his past boogie-
woogie masterpieces in the band's
repertory. His audiences have re-
sponded favorablyas have the
sales of such record classics as
"Celery Stalks at Midnight" ag.d
"Beat Me Daddy Eight to the
Bar."

McKINLEY'S PERSONAL com-
plaint about dance bands in gen-
eral is that they all sound "tritely
alike." It is for this reason that he
secured the services of arranger-
composer Eddie Sauter, the epi-
tome of versatility and ranked the
nation's best by music magazine
polls and musicians.
McKinley has built his orches-
tra on the premise that the mu-
sical offerings of a band should
vary with the musical tastes of
its audiences. He feels that spe-
cialization of any type limits an
orchestra artistically and brac-
kets its followers within a par-
ticular group.
McKinley has a definite plan be-
hind presentation of his dance
numbers. His dance sets contain
six tunes and last usually from
22 to 25 minutes. The program
generally begins with slow ballads
and progresses gradually in tem-
pa, the final numbers usually bring
a jazz original by Sauter and a
jump tune.
In this way, McKinley pleases
all the varied tasted within a single
audience.
Correction
The article concerning the
Tennis Ball which appeared in
yesterday's Daily misquoted the
price of tickets for the event.
Tickets are $1.25 instead of 50c.

The first ten students who can
correctly spell the word, "Tennis
Ball," will receive free tickets to
the WAA-Union sponsored out-
door dance to be presented from
9 p.m. to midnight Friday on the
Palmer Field tennis courts.
The catch will be to find the
location of each of the letters in
the words, which will be placed at
random in the windows of campus
town merchants. The first ten

of correct spelling will be guests

Mother nature will assume a
heavy role on the decorations of

Another addition will be the

that the ingredients are gin-

the final combination remains a

Amendment
To Change
WAA Duties
The WAA Board, by an over-
whelming majority, has voted to
reorganize the positions of vice
president, intramural manager and
dormitory, league house and soror-
ity managers.
To equalize the duties of these
officers and bring a closer unity
between the boards and studenti
participating in intramurals ari
sports clubs, the Board has abol-
ished the intramural manager job,
setting up the positions of vice
president in charge of projects
and vice-president, in charge of
student affairs.
New amendment to the WAA
constitution will place the chair-
manship of all intramural tourna-
ments under the vice-president in
charge of student relations.
She will also be manager of
the athletic managers' club,
chairman of the freshman ori-
entation week program and per-
form all duties in absence of
the president and assist her with
the sports clubs.
The vice-president in charge of
projects will henceforth be social
chairman of the board, chairman
of the annual spring project, will
assist with money-making pro-
jects and will temporarily assume
presidential duties and assist the
president with the clubs.
DUTIES OF the league house,
sorority and dormitory managers
have been changed, placing each
respective manager in full charge
of one major intramural tourna-
ment.
Each division manager will al-
so manage affairs between stu-
dents in her division and the
WAA Board, she will also assist
the vice-president in charge of
student affairs generally.
The Board also voted to accept
two resolutions passed by the ath-
letic managers' club. Future poli-
cies will prohibit spring sorority
pledges living in dormitories from
playng on sorority teams, and will
devote 10 per cent of all profits
from WAA activities for board ex-
pense.

THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW
TIL NOW?

System

DIAMOND FACTS
DID YOU KNOW that only one of about every thousand
diamonds possess an actual bluish body color! That's why
the American Gem Society frowns upon the term "blue-
white" when referring to the diamond. The blue-white legend
may be accounted for by the fact that all diamonds break
up white light into the rainbow colors of the spectrum thus
giving forth flashes in reflected light. Consequently, the
American Gem Society tells us when you examine a diamond
in the light reflected from a blue sky or a bluish light, it
will appear to be bluish in color since a diamond reacts like
a mirror and will reflect the color against which it is seen.
Examine your diamond instead under a diamolite, an instru-
ment providing a controlled source of light for such exam-
ination and so constructed as to prevent unwanted or falsi-
fying reflections.
ODDLY ENOUGH, the American Gem Society points out, the
diamond and the mineral graphite which is used in the lead
pencil, are of the same chemical composition. The difference
lies in the arrangement of the atoms which in both cases are
pure carbon. No other mineral or other natural substance is
as HARD as the diamond. Except under great pressure, no
other substance can scratch it except ANOTHER diamond.
No other substance can be cut in a shape which will reflect
so much light to the observer. The-ol-d superstition regarding
this fascinating stone claimed that a diamond would enhance
the love of a husband for his wife. Perhaps this accounts
for the reason the diamond has become the traditional gem
for the engagement ring!
