W~bNEfA, APRI18, 1951 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Spring Dances Will Highlight Wekend Fun Rain, Housecleaning To Set Atmosphere. At LittleClub, Union Union Dance . . . e Despite the wintry weather, spring and its annual war against the accumulation of dirt and dust wil be heralded . at the "Clean Sweep Ball" to be held from 9' p.m. to midnight Saturday in the Union Ballroom., Based on that annual task of housewives, the infamous spring housgcleaning, the dance will be strictly on the informal side. * * * DECORATIONS will be based upon the dirt and grime revealed by the fresh atmosphere of spring. It has been predicted that stu- dents may even find themselves practicing for the "tirade against termites" with brooms and dust- Srags at the dance. Frank Tinker and his orches- tra will provide the m sical at- mosphere for the dance. Admission will be $1.50 per couple. Little Club . . There may be snow outside, but it will be a spring night at tle As- sociation of Independent Men's "Little Club" which will be open to students from 8:30 p.m. to mid- night Friday on the second floor of the League. Honoring the month of rains, Bob Leopold and his combo will play such appropriate tunes as "April Showers" and "Over the Rainbow." THOSE WHO tire of dancing may rest at one of the many tables at the edge of the dance floor, take in the floorshow or pay a visit to the "bar.". AIM originated the club, now entering its sixth week, to pro- vide students with a night club of their own, at which they can either spend the entire evening or else pass an hour or so after the early movie. Bob Leopold, one of the club's founders, points out that the sup- port of the students has enabled the club to find a prominent spot in the campus social calendar. Admission for the entire eve- ning is $1 per couple, but those ar- riving after 10:30 p.m. will be ad- mitted for 75 cents. FROM OUT OF THE PAST: Roman Life Furnishes New Fabric Designs By LORRAINE BUTLER The ancient Romans and the events of Nero's day are responsible for a new trend in women's fash- ions. By next fall it may be easily no- ticed that women's wardrobes are the result of designs whichhave been inspired by Nero and his fel- low Romans. PRINTED FABRICS will be shown with Roman slaves and Praetorian guards in the design, and thelnew colors will be appro- priately named as "torchlight," "Bacchus wine" and "Roman gold." Seymour Burn, style director of the textile company which re- cently previewed 254 Roman- inspired fabric designs, said that this sudden trend came about because they discovered that Nero's day "so closely paralleled our own." "They even had a gladiator-fix scandal similar to our basketball scandal," said Mr. Burn. * * ' THE FABRIC company cannot control the styles that dress manu- facturers create for the Roman prints, but the spokesman for the company said that they frankly hope that there will be adapta- tions of short togas, long tunics and sports Jerkins bound with leather thongs. Mr. Burn said, "The Roman trend will take up where Hawaii- an prints leave off." He explain- ed thatHawaiian prints will be in the mass market by summer, and Roman prints will start in higher-priced clothes. Just by a coincidence, the movie "Quo Vadis" was being filmed in Rome at the same time the textile researchers were there looking in- to Roman history. * * * "IT WAS Just one of those things-saved us about a million dollars worth of research," Mr. Burn continued. He explained that ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED-Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Bialy of Stamford, Conn., have announced the engagement of their daugh- ter, Norma, to Dr. Jack Arnold Kohn, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Kohn of Trenton, N.J. Miss Bialy is a sophomore in the literary college. Dr. Kohn received his B.S., M.S. and Ph.D from the University. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi, Phi Kappa Phi, Phi Eta Sigma and Sigma Gamma Epsilon. At present he is on the staff of the research faculty, Department of Mineral- ogy, and is also a consultant for the U.S. Bureau of Mines. No date has been set for the wedding. FEATHERED FROSH: Indians' To Invade Campus MGM turned its costume research- er over to the textile company. A display of Roman fabrics is being released in connection with the movie, but Mr. Burn insisted that the designs would have been created regardless of the movie.. "You ust can't get away from the similarity of the times. Nero was the first new dealer," Mr. Burn commented. "HOWEVER every fashion de- pends on some vehicle. The flapper fashion can thank John Held, Jr., and the Gibson girl was created by Charles Dana Gibson," Mr. Burn went on to say. He compared further the Hawaiian print fad with the pre- dicted trend in prints based on the Roman society of a couple thousand years ago. "Esther Williams and those swimming movies made Hawaiian prints popular and now the movie 'Quo Vadis' will aid this fashion to gain a stronghold in women's wardrobes," Mr. Burn stated. * * * ONE OF THE new prints has a torchlight (orange) background and bright green "triumph chains" winding through a design of Roman imperial eagles and stan- dards of the Praetorian guards. Another pattern is a combina- tion of broken columns and Coffee Hour Set forToday A student-faculty coffee hour will be held at 4 p.m. today in the Grand Rapids Room of the League. Coffee and cookies will be served at the coffee hour which will honor the School of Business Administra- tion. Cards and recorded music will help provide an informal at- mosphere. The purpose of the coffee hours is to help promote a better rela- tionship between the faculty and students by offering an opportuni- ty for the students to meet their professors on an informal basis. Although the business adminis- tration school is being honored, Pat Olsen, chairman of the stu- dent-faculty coffee hours stressed that any student or faculty mem- ber is invited to attend, Assisting Miss Olsen in prepar- ing for the coffee hours are Harvey Howard, Harry Newman, Renee Pregulman and Diana Khoury. gladiator belts. The patterns will be put on cottons, rayons and or- Ions and featured in a variety of new and old color combina- tions., A few trial styles have been de- signed in the thoroughly Roman flavor, with the longer waistline, wide belts, and other features which the research experts have discovered. It is predicted that women will gradually discover the lines and designs are to their liking and by next year Roman clothes will be seen often.
