The "Biggest Show of 1951"
starring Nat "King" Cole, Duke
Ellington and Sarah Vaughan, will
be presented in two performances
at 7:00 and 9:15 p.m. Thursday,
Nov. 15 in Hill Auditorium.
The musical galaxy of stars is
being brought to Ann sArbor
through the efforts of the Lucile
B. Conger group of the Michigan
Alumnae Association. The group,
which is named after Mrs. L. B.
Conger, former alumnae secretary
of the University, will use the pro-
ceeds from the shows for scholar-
ships and aid to students on cam-
pus.
THE CONGER alumnae group
is a fairly young group that has
been especially active since the end
of the war.
Featured by the show will be
the "King" Cole group that has
been recently converted from a
trio to a quartet. Since the trio's
start eleven years ago, the group
has become well known through
appearances on the stage, radio,
television and in motion pic-
tures.
Also sharing the Hill Auditorium
spotlight will be Sarah Vaughan,
who is currently enjoying the
greatest success of her career as a
contemporary singer.
* * *
MISS VAUGHAN, who started
her singing career in a church
choir in New Jersey, has since won
the 1951 popularity polls of two
musical magazines. Voted the first
female vocalist of the year, she has
continued to top other established
singers in following polls.
Dubbed the "Magic Voice" by
disc jockeys, Miss Vaughan is
currently appearing in a film
musical "Disc-Jockey." In it she
introduces the ballad "After
NAT "KING" COLE
I
Outing To Honor
Latin-Americans
Hours" which she has also re-
corded.
Several of her records have top-
ped the half-million mark in sales.
These include "These Things I
Offer You," "Deep Purple," and
"My Reverie."
The third big name on the pro-
gram will be that of Duke Elling-
ton and his orchestra. Besides ap-
pearing in ballrooms across the na-
tion the Ellington group has ap-
peared at Carnegie Hall, Paris, and
at the Philharmonic in Los Ange-
les.
DUKE ELLINGTON, considered
by many a foremost composer of
modern music, has reigned as pace
setter in American music since
1927. Specializing in solos and jazz
forms, Duke Ellington's music is
supposedly a forecast of trends of
popular music for the neXt ten
years.
Other members of the musical
show who are all stars i their
own right are "Peg Leg Bates,"
the Marie Bryant dancers, Tim-

Square Dance-There will be a
meeting of the WAA Folk and
Square Dance Club at 8 p.m. today
in Barbour Gym.
A weekend of Latin-American
meals, games, dances and discus-
sions is being planned by the In-
tercultural Department of the Stu-
dent Religious Association and the
Pan-American Committee of the
Newman Club for Nov. 10-11.
The outing, the second sponsor-
ed by SRA, is designed to increase
understanding of problems of the
areas represented, according to Ro-
bina Quale and Bharat Bhushan,
co-chairmen of the Intercultural
Department and Paul McDonough,
chairman of the Pan-American
Committee.

"Peg Leg Bates," a one legged
dancer, is ranked by critics as one
of the great dancers of show busi-
ness regardless of his handicap.
He has starred in several Broad-
way shows and headlined in major
spots across the country.
* * *
ALSO APPEARING on the pro-
gram, are the Marie Bryant dan-
cers, who were last seen on Broad-
way in "Beggar's Holiday." Marie
Bryant is a choreographer who has
routined dance steps for such stars
as Betty Grable, Joan Caulfield
and Vera-Ellen.
Timmie Rogers is known in
show business as one of the fast-
est men with a quip. He is also
a tunesmith and is best known
for his "Flagalapa." His latest
hit is "Everybody Wants To Go
To Heaven But Nobody Wants
To Die."
Stump and Stumpy and Patter-
son and Jackson, are long time
vaudeville favorites.
Tickets for the show, which took
a year to organize, are now on
sale at the Hill Auditorium box
office. Prices are $2.40, $1.80 and
$1.20.
Termed by Dorothy Killgallan in
her column as the "hottest thing
on the road," the show grossed
$100,000 in seven days.
Sweater Dance
To Thwart Blast
Of WinterWinds
Mindful of the sudden surge of
cold winter weather, the Union
has scheduled a Sweater Hop to
be held from 9 p.m. to 12 midnight
Saturday in the Union ballroom.
Couples will be able to bundle up
in their heaviest sweaters to at-
tend the Saturday dance for sweat-
ers will be the standard wearing
apparel and no one may come to
the dance without one.
A prize will be offered to the
couple displaying the most orig-
inal sweaters either separately or
in combination as a team.
Knitting needles, shanks of bril-
liantly colored yarn, bobbins and
huge sweaters hung on the ball-
room walls will provide the atmos-
phere for the dance.
A large cut-out of a sweater
will form the backdrop for Clare
Shephard's band who will provide
the music.
Tickets are priced at $1 per
couple and can be purchased at
the Union main desk either before
the dance or Saturday night.
November 16
Musical Mood Theme
To Be Supplemented
By Band, Decorations
Michigan Panhellenic Associa-
tion will present its traditional
Panhel Ball from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.
Friday, November 16 in the
League.
With "Musical Moods" as the
theme of the dance, members of
the Central Committee have de-
cided that the decorations in each
room off the Concourse will sup-
plement the general theme by
symbolizing a musical mood.
FOR EXAMPLE, one room will
take the jazz theme, another will
be in classical style and still an-
other will have a 'blues' note.
Ray Gorrell and his orchestra
will play for the dance.
Tickets for the dance are being
sold through sorority representa-
tives to the members of each
house. Coeds may also purchase
carnations with the tickets.
EACH SORORITY house will be
responsible for part of the decor-
ations for the dance. Houses will
be contacted as to what they will
be expected to do in that line.
Originally, in the years before
and including 1945, the dance
was sponsored by both Panhel-
lenic and Assembly. Held in the
spring in the IM Building, the
dance was usually so crowded
that the Central Committee had
to plan for a so-called 'Overflow'
dance in the League,
In 1945, the theme of the af-
fair was "Heavenly Daze," with
Raymond Scott playing at the IM
Building and Billy Munday sup-
plying the music for couples in the
League Ballroom.
** *
BECAUSE OF the difficulties
involved in having this overflow
dance, and because of the increase
in students at the University, Pan-
hel and Assembly Board decided
to separate their dances.
Since 1946, Panhel Ball has
been held in the fall, although
the IM Building was still the
site for the dance.
That year Sonny Dunham and
his orchestra were featured, and
the theme was "Open Sesame".
Independents were invited to at-
tend the dance, although it was
given primarily for affiliates.
* * *
IN 1947 and 1948 Stan Kenton
and Will Osborne supplied the mu-
sic for the dancers. "Elysian Eve"
featured a Greek theme, complete
with pillars and Parthenon in '47,
while the sophisticated silver and
blue theme of "Mood Indigo" dec-
orated the hall the following year.
The year 1949 saw Ray Mc.
Kinley and his orchestra play
for "Peter's Panic," which was
centered around a circus theme.
That year marked the last that
the dance was held in the IM
Building.
Because of the cost of the
dance, the Board decided to hold
the dance in the League last year.
With a New York landscape and
landmarks the theme was entitled
"Midnite in Manhattan," and Gay
Claridge and his orchestra were
featured.
Last year too, for the first time,
the affair was open to affiliated
women and their dates only. Be-
cause of limited space at the
League, the policy of a closed
dance will be continued this year.
Women have been granted late
permission for the event, and cor-
sages may be worn, since the coeds
will take care of the bill for the
dance.
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the
second in a series of articles regard-
ing the general organization of the
Union management and student gov-
ernment.)
By AL LUCKOFF
Most students, who take Union
facilities for granted, never rea-
lize that it involves a yearly finan-
cial operation of a million dollars.
The Union's business activities
may best be compared to those of
a private club. Its 189 guest rooms
are reserved for the use of mem-
bers, life members and their fam-
ilies and guests. In addition the
use of the rooms is extended to
official guests of the University
and those who come to participate
in short courses and University
sponsored conferences. The din-
ing rooms are nominally subject
to the above restrictions also.
* * *
BESIDES ITS guest room and
restaurant functions, the Union
serves as a meeting place for cam-
pus and civic groups.
A 11 University recognized
groups are granted available
meeting rooms without charge
and are given preference over
other organizations in reserv-
ing Union meeting rooms. Oth-
er groups may use the Union for
meetings and affairs for a fee.
With the Board of Directors act-
ing as the policy making body, the
Union staff of more than 350 em-
ployes (including about 200 part-
time student workers. Is headed
by General Manager Frank Kuen-
zel '27.
KUENZEL, WHO has served on
the Union staff since his gradu-
ation, assumed his present post in
1940. He is also currently serving
as president of the National Asso-
ciation of College Unions.

Combo To Play
At 'Little Club'
To match the changeable Ann
Arbor weather, a fall and winter
theme will feature this week's
Little Club to be open to students
from 8:30 p.m. to midnight Fri-
day in the League.
Couples will be able to enjoy
dancing to the music of Bob Leo-
pold and his combo playing such
songs as "September Song" and
"Winter Wonderland."
This week will also mark the
first appearance of the combo's
new vocalist, Cam Duncan, who
will present several slow danceable
numbers. Miss Duncan and Tom
Leopold wil also be featured in a
duet, "I May Be Wrong."
Piano. miscellany by Grant
Smith will highlight the intermis-
sion floorshow.
To further the "nightspot" at-
mosphere, tables covered with
checkered tableclothes topped with
liquor bottle candle holders sur-
round the dance floor.
Those wishing to take time out
from dancing may talk with their
friends at the tables or may visit
the club's refreshment bar.
Little Club, sponsored by the
Association of Independent Men,
reopened last Friday. The campus
nightclub was started last year as
a social function of AIM.
iness of approximately a million
dollars last year, the Union's
revenues have been shrinking
each year since its wartime and
immediate post-war peak years.
Kuenzel explains this trend by
the fact that the male enrollment
at the University is constantly de-
clining and since the Union is
basically a men's organization its!
business is declining proportion-
ately.
DESPITE THIS drop in enroll-
ment, the Union has long been
planning a much needed expan-
sion of facilities. Plans have been
drawn up that would enlarge thet
building so that it would extend
north approximately 60 feet
toward the Administration Bldg.
A new cafeteria, study rooms, li-
brary, and recreational facilities
would be included in the four story'
addition.
Two almost simultaneous in-
cidents tabled the plans just as
bids were about to be asked on
the project in June, 1950.
First Haven Hall burned down
and the University found it ne-
cessary to transfer the offices of
several departments to the old
ROTC headquarters next to the
Union, where the new structure
was to have been built. Plans had
already been made to level this
building.
Three weeks after the fire the
Korean war broke out and with
it came the shortages and re-
strictions of materials that put the
damper on the new addition for
the time being.

Sophomore Cabaret will cele-
brate its 24th year as a campus
function when this year's presen-
tation is given Friday and Sat-
urday, Dec. 7 and 8.
Every year about 350 sophomore
women participate in Soph Cab's
complete production. Planning be-
gins in the spring when the cen-
tral committee members are chos-
en. In the fall the actual work
begins. All coeds are invited to
help on the various committees.

THE ENTIRE second floor of
the League is used as a setting
for the evening's entertainment.
This year a dance, floorshow and
games of chance will be featured.
Soph Cab became an annual
affair in 1927, when the "Bung-
ling Brothers' Circus" was held
in Angell Hall. A circus theme
was also used in the 1928 pro-
duction.
A variety show with dancing
and novelty booths was given in
1929 in Barbour Gym. In 1931
Soph Cab moved to the League
where it has been ever since.
THE PRESENTATION was in-
terrupted from 1941 to 1944 dur-
ing World War II, resuming with
a music box theme in 1944. In,
the following year the show was
just called "Sophomore Cabaret,"
Two years ago, "As You Shake
It" was presented. A play was
given combining Shakespearean
plays, the ballroom was dec-
orated as "Love's Labours Lost,"
and the concourse as."Merchant
of Venice" where Cleopatra's
snakes and Lady MacBeth's dag-
ger were offered for sale.
Last year the second floor of
the League was decorated as a
"Bewitched Bayou." Couples were
given a chance to make wishes by
a wishing well or travel through
"Al, the Alligator." "Al" was also
a featured performer in the floor-
show which also starred a Flam-
ingo and a rare orchid.
This year couples will be given
a chance to tour the "big city,"
New York City. Dancing will be
held on a penthouse overlooking
the city. Visits to Coney Island,
Central Park and the Bowery will
also be made.
All proceeds from the dance will
be given to the Fresh Air Camp.
Bridge Tournament
Union's weekly bridge tourna-
ment will be held at 7:30 p.m.
tonight in the Union Ballroom.
Coeds are invited to attend and
can obtain late permission from
their housemothers, according
to Union officials.
