Another tournament will be held at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday also in the Union Ballroom. THESE CONTESTS will help to determine the University's dele- gates to the annual State of Michi- gan Bridge Tourney which will be held June 3 in Detroit. Competing in this state-wide event will be such schools as Wayne University, University of Detroit and Michigan State Col- lege. Women bridge enthusiasts have been invited this year for the first time to participate in the Union's elimination tournaments. Late per- mission will be granted all women interested in competing. s* * THESE elimination tournaments are run off on a duplicate bridge basis, with the highest scoring con- testants as the winners. The Union will pay all ex- penses to and from Detroit for the tournament winners from the University. In 1949 a team of students repre- senting the University won the Detroit Intercollegiate tourney. Al- so in 1948 and 1949 teams won trophies in the Central States In- tercollegiate Team-of-four in Chi- cago. BRIDGE became popular on the Michigan campus in 1938 when tournaments were held between the fraternities, sororities and in- dependents. Student-faculty bridge con- tests also became common in 1938. At that time several repre- sentatives were sent from the campus to national tournaments. The exact history of the game of bridge is not known, but experts place the origin in Greece since it Senior Ball Senior Ball tickets will be sold from 1 to 4:30 p.m. today and tomorrow in the Adminis- tration Bldg. Tickets may also be purchased at the door for the informal dance which will take place from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. tomorrow night in the Union Ballroom. 1 ..... . 5 'I BY~ BAL-BND is definitely known that bridge was played there over 50 years ago. * * * THE PEOPLE that really took to the game of bridge, however, were the British. The game was started at the Portland Club of England by Lord Brougham, dean of the English Card Clubs. Lord Brougham had learned the game while in Cairo, Egypt in the autumn of 1894. He acci- dently omitted the trump card in his deal at a game of whist while playing with "the boys" in his Portland Club. He apologized to his comrades and told them about the new game called bridge. It soon caught on and spread throughout England. * * * WHIST was a popular card game in England that was actually the father of our modern bridge. In whist, the last card dealt was de- clared trump. The next stage of development came with the invention of the game called bridge-whist in which the dealer or his partner declared the trump card. Auction bridge grew out of bridge-whist. In this game the players bid for their tricks and scored all the tricks above those that they had declared to make. CONTRACT BRIDGE, the most popular bridge game in America today, is identical with auction bridge except that no tricks are counted in the score unless they were contracted for while bidding. Contract bridge is played pri- marily in the United States and France. In England auction bridge is still prominent. Duplicate bridge is the form used in bridge tournaments. In this game the contestants use pre- arranged hands. These set hands are played more than once by the different players to reduce to a minimum the element of luck. SCORES ARE based on a com- parison of results achieved with these same cards by all the con- testants. , Exactly how bridge came to be called by its present name is still a mystery. Some people claim it is a derivative of the English word for whist-biritch. According to this theory, the common people in England found it difficult to say biritch and they1 shortened the term to bridge. * * * ANOTHER SCHOOL of thought claims that bridge came from the1 fact that the privilege of namingi trump went from dealer to partner -a kind of "bridging" between the two. Some people have become such enthusiasts of bridge that they have devoted many hours of their life to the game. Currently famous for their theories on bridge are Charles Goren and Eli Culbertson.

When buying a dress not only quality but also style is taken into consideration. This should hold true when shampooing the hair. * * * IN ORDER to be beautiful, hair must be clean. But clean hair does not always mean it is stylish. According to a well-known stylist, shampooing is often taken for granted. Women con- sider the weekly shampoo as just somethiug that must be done and let it go at that. "You can wash your hair just to get it clean, or you can wash it to make it beautiful," the beauti- cian states. ** * * HAIR BEAUTY treatment starts with the brush. Vigorous, but not rough, brushing loosens dry flakes of skin which cling to the scalp. A brush with moderately stiff bristles should be used. Start with long sweeps and draw the brush toward the ends of the hair. The second step that makes hairwashing a beauty treatment is the use of detergents instead of ordinary soap. Liquid, cream or jelly are equally quick and easy to use. All of 'them bring out the natural color of the hair and leave no dulling residue. THE LAST STEP in the pro- cess is toweling the hair until it is almost dry. Brushing or combing while the hair is still wet may in- jure the scalp. Stylists say the secret many women don't know is that the dryer the hair is before rolling it up in pin curls, the longer the hair- do will last. When arranging the hair after a shampoo, experts warn against too consistent use of the comb. A brush does a more effective job of smoothing each curl into place. A comb can be used later when the hair-do needs retouching. Perfume Test To try a new perfume, stroke it on the wrist and wait until the drop is dry. In this manner, the true odor will be revealed, rather than the stronger top note. Students with those "bluebook blues" will be able to forget their troubles at the Union'sbsemi- annual Bluebook Ball to be held from 9 p.m. to midnight Saturday, May 26 in the Union Ballroom. Professor Frank Tinker and his Four Points will be playing for their last Union dance at the ball. Tinker is a graduating senior in Dentistry School. *, * * THE ENTIRE dance is based on an academic theme. Large ten foot bluebooks will provide the back- drop for the band. Smaller blue- books will be scattered around the ballroom for atmosphere. In the hallway outside the ballroom there will be large blackboards equipped with chalk and erasers. Industrious students will be able to finish their last minute calcu- lations on these blackboards. Others may perfect their "doo- dling" in order to decorate their' bluebooks while writing. final ex- ams. * * * MINIATURE bluebooks will be I Golf Club I, used as programs and will provide space for couples to rate each other with the letter grade of their choice. Intermission entertainment will include an elimination dance with a prize for the couple who can out dance all the others at the Ball. For the less talented couples there will also be contests for prizes that require no skill, only a battle with Lady Luck. THE BLUEBOOK BALL is a semi-annual dance on campus. This year in order to insure each student's attaining a 4 point aver- age, the dance -committee has moved the date up a week earlier than usual., Tickets for the dance will be $1.50 and can be purchased at the Union. The night of the dance, some poor studious student who cannot tear himself away from his books will serve as tieket collector so he can study while the dance is in progress. General chairman for the Blue- book Ball is Jerry Freeman. Other members of the committee include, Larry Price, entertainment chair- man; Sol Gregory, decorations chairman; Dan Schechter, publi- city chairman and Ken Cutler, programs chairman. 4 COOL-COLORFUL SUMMERETTES The most comfortable fabric casuals for all day long wear - a rainbow of colors in many styles.
