This lead to some con- jestion at the band stand, but Prima was worth it to most of the onlooking couples. * * * 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. *T B* e*p THE TWO BANDS were a per- With a host of ers contributing * , able perform- better-than- feet combination to carry out the J-Hop's underwater theme of "Deep in the Blues."

CORRALLED-Two weakly smiling students we're forced by a persistent coed to register themselves as eligible dates at the League Scarcity Committee ticket booth. Appearing to act joyous about it all, both had actually undergone considerable torture in the Desperation Measures Room, an ad- junct of the League Powder Room, before signing up to take out a coed. The young men will be subject to the careful scrutiny of the thousands of coeds who will select their d4 tes from the Scarcity Lists.
