Senior Women To Be Honored
By 36th Annual Lantern Night

Graduating senior women will
be honored by the 36th annual
Lantern Night on Monday, May
16.
Seniors in caps and gowns and
flanked by underclassmen, will be-
gin the evening with the tradi-
tional line of march from Angell
Hall to the "mall" next to the
League.
Singing competition will occupy
Most of the evening when each
women's residence hall presents a
song for the award of first place
song cup, won last year by Alpha
Phi.
* * *
WAA AWARDS will be the last
part of Lantern Night when out-
standing groups and individuals
are recognized for athletic parti-
cipation.
Junior women traditionally
wear yellow bows in their hair
during the line of march to dis-
tinguish them from sophomore
women with red bows. Freshmen
will bring up the end of the line,

distinguished by green bows in
their hair.
Patricia McKenna, president of
the League; Mary Carolyn Wright,
chairman of the Women's Inter-
viewing Committee; Patricia Han-
nagan, chairman of the Women's
Judiciary Council; Mary Stierer,j
president of Panhel Board; Arlette
Harbour, president of Assembly

WAA will lead the women in the
line of march.
MICHIGAN'S MARCHING band
will precede the coeds and will
play the "Yellow and Blue" at the
end of the march.
Twenty-five houses will sing in
Hill Aditorium to be judged both
on their song and on posture. The
posture cup was awarded for the
first time last spring as a special
surprise and was won by Gamma
Phi Beta.
Kappa Kappa Gamma was
awarded the WAA participation
cup last year and certificates were
given to Stockwell, Mary Markley,
and Kappa Kappa Gamma.

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.

correctly spell the word, "Tennis

the WAA-Union sponsored out-

9 p.m. to midnight Friday on the
Palmer Field tennis courts.

the athletic managers' club,
chairman of the freshman ori-
entation week program and per-
form all duties in absence of

the sports clubs.
The vice-president in charge of
projects will henceforth be social

of the annual spring project, will
assist with money-making pro-
jects and will temporarily assume

of one major intramural tourna-
ment.

so manage affairs between stu-
dents in her division and the

THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW

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!
