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.

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.

Shirts 20c Dress Shirts 32c 3-Day Service Also flat work finished 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. t Buy and Sell Through Daily Classifieds !, 1in-eh ThER in TOPPERS! I CLEARANCE SALE! f 1 A i$ r -- .ar l . , ..
