f
ing gold braid will highlight the
dance, for the ROTC men attend-

To create a military mood for
the event, decorations will de-
pict certain features of the
armed forces.
Dressed in uniform, complete
with white helmets, gloves and
spats, Pershing rifle men will
stand guard at the sentry box en-
trance to check for proper identi-
fication (a dance ticket) from
those who wish to pass.
A MACHINE GUN, surrounded
by sandbags, will dominate the
main hallway along which couples
will pass to the main ball room.
Here under a false ceiling of
maize and blue, large insignias of
the army, navy, marines and air
forces will be put up on the walls
of the room,
For the nautical-minded, the
small ballroom will set the pro-
per mood. It will be decorated
on a ship theme. Through the
"bulkhead" doors, couples will
step into "life on the high seas."
Programs for the dance will al-
so be designed to carry out the
military idea.

Couples Group
To Be Taught
Various Steps
Lessons To Include
Rhumbas, Sambas,
Jitterbug, Fox Trots
Here is a chance for Michigan
coeds and their men to learn the
intricacies of the ballroom danc-
ing.
The League Dance Committee,
under the chairmanship of Alice
Coburn, is offering an innovation
in the way of dance instruction :
couple, or date, dance classes.
* * *
EDWARD FUSCO, former Ar-
thur Murray instructor, will give
lessons in jitterbug, waltz and fox
trot.
The now especially popular
momba, rhumba, Samba and
tango will also be taught for
those lovers of South American
dance.
"Couples learn to dance faster,"
said Miss Coburn, "in this type of
class than in the regular mixed
group."
* * *
BEGUN LATE last semester,
the new type of dance instruction
was agreed by participants to be
successful and worthwhile.
The classes will be held in the
League Ballroom at 8:30 p.m.
each Tuesday evening, begin-
ning March 6, to the tunes of
the Musicon. This new inven-
tion is a strange looking box on
a wall of the ballroom.
According to Miss Coburn, "The
music vibrations emerging from it
sound like band music, but are,
in reality, recordings."
Tickets for the dance classes
are $4.00 per couple for eight les-
sons. They will be sold on the
second floor of the League from 81
to 9 p.m. on Feb. 28 only.
JGP
Mickey Sager, director of
JGP, has announced that there
has been a change in the re-
hearsal schedule. Part 1 of Act
3 will be rehearsed at 7:30 to-
night, and Part 2 at 8:30 at
the League.

INTERMISSION entertainment
will also be in the military mood.
Army ROTC Pershing riflemen
will show a precise drill under
gun, which means that they will
present an exhibition in the fancy
use of the rifle.
Hank Tyson is general chair-
man for the dance. John Hath-
away and Dwight Vincent, as-
sisted by John Messer, are in
charge of decorations; Bruce
Sodee, publicity; James McNally,
tickets and Phil Smith, finance.
Tickets for the dance may be
obtained at North Hall and from
the committee members. The
price is $3.00 per couple.
Women students have been
granted late permission for the
dance. The committee requests
that no corsages be worn.
"Because of the uncertain con-
ditions of the world today, we
feel that this dance has a greater
significance than ever before,"
Tyson said. "We are working hard
to make this the biggest and best
of all Military Balls."
NEW OPPORTUNITY-Enjoying the benefits of the new couples
dance classes are Joyce Watson and Robert Siegrist. They are
dancing to tunes from the Musicon.

Students flocked to the League
yesterday to examine the decora-
tions and sample the wares of thej
"Round-up Room," new cafeter-
ia-snack bar.
I unchers' comments indicated'
that the cafeteria was pleasing to
both sight and taste.
* * *
ADMIRING the birch walls and
low ceiling while munching on a
hamburger, one student remarked,
"It's just like Northwestern, only
better."
Mrs. Benjamin Wheeler, busi-
ness manager of the League,
stated that only two trays were
spilled, a much smaller number
than was estimated for the op-
ening of the cafeteria.
One student, Peggy Nimz, '53,
enjoyed the food, but objected to
a sign posted near the entrance
reading "Check Your Books and
Wraps."
* * *
"WHO WILL check his books?",
Miss Nimz queried. Most of us
come down here to study. If they,
don't let students bring their
books in here, half the school will
flunk out."
An unidentified student ques-
tioned the .suitability of the
cafeteria's name. "Since it's
angular in shape and is located
downstairs, I think a more ap-
propriate n a m e would be
'Square - down' rather than
'Round-up Room'."
When assured that the present
name was only temporary, he con-
sidered submitting his title in the,
coming name contest, which will
be held to determine a suitable
label for the new cafeteria. Win-
ner of the contest will receive a
week's supply of free meals.
