PRIMA WAS DESTINED from
his birth to attain musical' fame.
He started life on a street which
crossed Basin Street in New Or-
leans. Through his friendship with
Guy Lombardo and his undisputed
personal talent, he soon develop-
ed into a personality in the music
world.! His great triumph was op-
ening t h e "Famous Door,"
through which passed such re-
nowned stars as Martha Raye.
He reached recording fame with
his smash hits "Angelina", "Robin
Hood" and "Please No Squeeze
Da Banana."
In addition to his 3-Hop tri-
umphs he scored high in Ann
Arbor at last year's A-Hop.
Trumpeter, song - writer and
gravel-voiced singer, "Lov'ble
Louis" was a sensation then and
now.
Featuring Lilyann Carol, Jack
Powers, Frank Fredrico and Mike
Cotton, the orchestra contributed
its all to making the 1950 J-Hop
the best dance of the year.
"THE DUKE" and his orchestra
were the other half of the star
attraction. Ellington. too. was
born to fame, having first seen,
light in the nation's capital.
Quickly deciding his career
lay in music, "The Duke" turn-
td the piano, and founded a
small band. His road to the
heights is dotted with such hit
numbers as "Caravan," "Mood
Indigo" and a host of other fa-
vorites.
Swinging in to the tune of
"Take the 'A' Train," "The Duke,"
his piano and his orchestra early
reached the top of their profes-
sion. J-Hoppers would give them
top billing anywhere.

dance music and catchy spe-

LOOKING THEM OVER-The League Scarcity Committee checks over photographs of Michigan's
males, four out of five of whom are handsome, trying to figure out how to convince the men that
there are more of them than women on campus. The Committee has resorted to such unscrupu-
lous measures as announcing a three to one man-woman ratio.
PLAY-OFFS-Competitive sports were used to decide which coeds
were most capable of getting and holding on to, a J-Hop date.
Assistant Dean of Women Mary C. Bromage described the events
as "too rough" but added, "I guess they're necessary."

HOPEFUL-Trying to act indifferent, a typical coed approached
four Michigan men at a local Beer emporium and tried to solicit
a date. Astonishment is registered in the eyes of at least one of-
the men. Recovering their composure after her offer, the men
silently quaffed their brew and returned to their discussion of
women without answering. Man righ't, continued reading his
Bible unimpressed.
