Couples dressed in formal attire will also be present since, ac- cording to dance chairman Betty T'ncik, any costume will be ap- propriate. Robert Lewis To Be Honored Robert Q. Lewis, nationally known comedian, will be guest of honor at a Phi Sigma Delta party tomorrow which will center around the accomplishments of that famous alumnus of the Uni- versity and the fraternity. \ Lewis will have his own tele- vision show within a month, it was announced. Well known on CBS, he took over the Arthur Godfrey Show during the summer. Alumni from all over the coun- try will be present at the house's homecoming celebration for Lewis, who is in Ann Arbor this week end to act as master of ceremonies at Varsity Night tonight. The entire first floor of the chapter house will be decorated with panoramas and cartoons about Lewis and his "interesting idiosyncrasies." Al Kaplan, decorations chair- man, said, "Never has one per- sonality offered me so much ma- terial to dig my paint brushes in- to." Lewis' horn-rimmed glasses lend themselves easily to carica- tures.W A skit on Lewis' life will be pre- sented during intermission. "Any resemblance between the presenta- tion and the life of Robert Q. will be purely accidental," was the col- lective opinion of Bill Weil, Steve Davis and Marty Kohlenberg, who are in charge of the entertain- ment. Social chairman Norm Schafer is planning the party. Arriving at the dance, the guests will step through the doors of a huge railroad boxcar into a room decorated with hobo figures. Au- thentic corn pipes will be given out as favors. * * * 4 AS DOOR PRIZES, two $25 gift certificates will be given to the lucky winners. One will, be fur- nished by Van Boven's for the' man, and the other by Jacobson's for the coed. There will also be a surprise prize given.

By PAT BROWNSON Specialty parties lead campus events this weekend as football bows out. "IN THE STILL of the Night" is the theme selected for Greene House's hillbilly party tomorrow. It is rumored that guests will enter the ballroom through a dense woods. Once in a clearing they will find a large still containing the finest "champagne." John Schlee will do the calling for square dancing. There is to be a floorshow and a prize for the most appropriately dressed hillbilly. LAMBDA CHI ALPHA pledges have gone to the far north to bring a realistic reproduction of a Yukon town to Ann Arbor for the "Klon- dike Krackup" tomorrow as they prepare to fete their big brothers with a traditional party. Card and roulette tables will be found in the Lucky Strike Saloon, while nearby the Yu Kum Dance Room will be reserved for dining and dancing. A treasure hunt is scheduled for the Gold Nugget Mine Room, where prospectors with picks and shovels will try to uncover the hidden treasure buried amidst the debris. Men will dress as miners and gamblers while their dates will be show-girls. A skit by Al Grybas will depict the hectic life of a prospector. The eve- ning will conclude with lottery in which couples guess the exact time they think the Klondike ice will crack. A prize will be given to the win- ner. * * * * LLOYD HOUSE will present its annual "Plymouth Rock" dance tomorrow in the dining room. Dinner will precede dancing to the music of a five-piece combo. Michigan Men Attack Adage On Coed Looks By MARJORY REUBENE Except for a few staunch die- hards, most Michigan men seem to vigorously object to the traditional comment on this campus, "four out of five women are beautiful and the fifth goes to Michigan." When asked to defend or defy this old adage, one of the Univer- sity's male population commented, "Michigan women are much more interesting than they are where I come from-all we have there are Eskimo'." * * * s "OF COURSE NOT," was an- other quote. "If I were looking for the ideal girl to marry I'd look for her at Michigan." One rather scholarly student stated, "In my opinion, the fem- inine pulchritude of Michigan women compares favorably with that of women on other cam- puses with similar scholastic standing." He refused to trans- late his statement into English. "It's not true," claims one who should know. "Michigan State men think the women on this campus are much better looking than women on their campus. And you should see the State women - wow!" * * * AFTER ALL the talk of North- western's beautiful coeds, the com- ment of one Michigan man is rather surprising. He said, "After my trip to Northwestern I wonder what they did with all the beauti- ful women." One student when asked to comment on the question at hand aid blankly, "Women- what's that? I just come here for the football games." Another innocently replied, "Mosteof the good-looking wom- en stay in and study so much you never see them." * * * AND THEN there are those who enthusiastically uphold the state- ment and even add to it. One de- bator for the affirmative said em- phatically, "If no one else had said that, I would have stated it with higher ratios." "That's all' wrong," said one dyed in the wool women hater. "Four out of five women are ugly and all four go to Michi- gan." "Did you ever notice that when a fella does find a good-looking girl he never introduces her to anyone?" queried a Michigan male. "I'll introduce my date for this Sat. to anyone," he added. 'Well, things are looking up," said one student philosophically. "Michigan women are getting bet- ter looking every year. [Coed Calendar Soph Cabaret-There will be a meeting of the decorations com- mittee of Soph Cabaret at 5 p.m. today in the League. The room number will be posted, and all members are requested toaattend. Basketball Club-The club will meet tomorrow afternoon in the Barbour Gym. The meeting will be split into two sections, with inter- mediates playing at 4 p.m. and ad- vanced members playing at 5 p.m. Anyone, however, who is not able to come at the assigned time may come to the other meeting. Record Concert - The League will present their weekly recorded concert from 7:30 to 8:30 tonight in the library on the third floor. Slide Rule Ball will celebrate its twenty-first anniversary from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. tomorrow in the Masonic Temple ballroom. In keeping with the anniversary theme, the dance will be held in an atmosphere which reflects the by-gone days when "grease-coat- ed" engineers and "crease-trou- sered" lawyers waged a bitter, and often times violent, feud. *' * * . BACK IN the 1890's when the rivalry began, these two groups both held their annual dances on the same night. Each group did all it could to disrupt the other dance and to harrass its opponents. The traditional struggle took a new turn in 1930, when the lawyers absconded the engineers eight foot slide rule just before the dance. With fire in their eyes, the engineers set out after their rivals and succeeded in recovering their slide rule just before the dance. Despite elaborate precautions the slide rule has a habit of dis- appearing each year. A few years ago the engineers bound it in a strong chain with three padlocks, confident that it would be safe from the lawyers. They returned a few hours later to find the chain and the padlocks, but no slide rule. * * * ENGINEERS and their guests will step back into the "good ole days" when they enter the ball- room tomorrow night. Downstairs in the Masonic Temple, two sec- tions, designated by the sign "Gray Beards," will be roped off for the faculty. Entertainment as well as decorations will be in keeping with the theme. The "Four Hoarsemen" will render some of those songs that were popular in the "Gay Nineties." This quartet was the winner in the Michigan junior division of the Society for the Promotion and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America, more commonly known as the SPEBSQSA. In addition to their regular program, the quartet will lead the group in singing two popular songs at the end of the dance. * * * OTHERS on the program for intermission entertainment are Beverly Olszynski, who will sing, and Bill Gerson, who has promised a fine novelty act. Music for the dance will be provided by Paul LaVoie and his orchestra. Although LaVoie's or- chestra makes few public ap- pearances, it is, nevertheless, one of the most heard orchestras in the nation. This seemingly paradoxical statement is clea when it is ex- plained that LaVoie is Music Di- rector for Station WJR in Detroit. He has held this position for the past ten years and is hailed as one of the foremost men in his profession. Newman Club To Give Dance The Newman Club will present its annual Thanksgiving dance tonight from 9 p.m. to midnight in the Newman clubrooms. Following an appropriate har- vest-time theme, the "Turkey Trot" will have decorations of pumpkins, corn stalks and turkeys. The semi-formal dance will fea- ture the music of Jim Serbis and his orchestra. Mr. Serbis is a stu- dent at the University of Michi- gan and has played for several dances here.

Couples will dance to the biggest name bands of the land in the "subdued glow" of three kleig lights imported especially for the occasion. WILLIAMS HOUSE will be transformed into Diamond Lil's Casino as the staff takes over tomorrow to entertain alumni, residents and their dates in the spirit of the wild west. There will be the usual games of chance. A contest is being conducted in the house to deter- mine the identity of Diamond Lil who will mingle with the crowd at the dance. A TUNNEL OF LOVE will lead to Tau Delta Phi's circus tomorrow. There will be carnival games of chance, side show freaks, ferocious animals in cages and venders selling refreshments. Dancing to music from all nations will be featured under the Big-top. * * * * HIGH SOCIETY from Phi Sigma Kappa will spend tomorrow eve- ning at the grand Monte Carlo casino Societe des Bains de Mer. The house will provide $1,000,000 per couple for gambling. The social chair- man explained that there will be no band because the whir of the roul- ette wheel would drown out the music. * * * * A BUSY SCHEDULE is in store for Alpha Epsilon Pi as the house plans to celebrate its annual A E Pi Weekend. Guests have been invited from chapters at Ohio State, Wayne and MSC. An open house and dance will be held tonight. The pledge-active "Pie Bowl" game will be played tomorrow morning, with the winning team receiving a wooden pie trophy.
