Special arrangements of "Lau-
ra," "Drummin' Man," and "Dan-
ny Boy" written by members of
Ray Fifer's Orchestra will be fea-
tured at the annual Military Ball
to be presented from 9 p.m. to 1
a.m. Friday in the Union.
This group is composed of five
saxophones-two altos, two ten-
ors, one baritone - three trom-
bones, three trumpets, and a three-
piece rhythm section composed of
piano, bass, and drums.
The leader, Ray Fifer, who
plays alto sax, organized the or-
chestra in 1948 using students of
Kalamazoo College and West-
ern Michigan, many of whom
are teachers in the Kalamazoo
Conservatory of Music.
A familiar face to many stu-
dents, Ann Letsis, the orchestra's
vocalist, sang last year with Bob
Elliot's band and was featured at
a blood rally program in Hill Au-
ditorium.
She has also gained experience
by fulfilling an engagement at a
hotel in Kansas. City and by ap-
pearing on her own radio show.
While the band has not ap-
peared frequently on this campus,
it has appeared at numerous col-
lege dances throughout the state.
Central Committee members
have planned something out of
the ordinary for this tradition-
al formal event.
The Union ballroom will take on
a new look as an Army field artil-
lery command post and an Air
Force plotting board for intercept-
ing enemy aircraft will be placed,
l 1

in position to garner the attention
of the dancers.
Entering the ballroom through
the doors of an Air Force C-119
cargo plane, students will dance
under a camouflaged ceiling of
green crepe paper.
Reserve unit men will be able to
point with pride to the honors
they have received as these awards
and trophies will also be on dis-
play.
.Receiving honorary commis-
sions, coeds attending the spring
function will hold the upper
hand Friday night. Outrank-
ing even generals they may de-
mand the behaviour associated
with such a rank.

Maize, Blue
Make Plans
For Weekend
Committee Chairmen
Direct Arrangements
For Freshmen Dance
By JANET SMITH
With Frosh Weekend scheduled
for April 17 and 18, less than a
month away, committees of both
Maize and Blue Teams have been
working to get their plans under
way.
General chairman and central
committee members for both teams
were chosen after interviewing
held early in the month. Handling
the job of co-ordinating all the
various committees and activities
for the Blue team is Judy Licht-
blau, while Nancy Wright has tak-
en over that job for the Maize
Team.
Bernice O'Shinsky, serving as
assistant chairman for the Maize
team, takes minutes at the week-
ly meetings of the central commit-
tee, arranges for rooms for all
committee meetings and is avail-
able to help any committeewoman.
Taking minutes and schedul-
ing rooms for the Blue team is
assistant general chairman Mary
Towne. Miss Lichtblau and Miss
Towne have also divided attend-
ance at committee meetings,
so that they both do not go to
all meetings.
Both teams began work as soon
as committee chairmen and mem-
bers were announced after a mass
meeting held earlier this month.
Floorshow, publicity and decor-
ation committees meet daily, while
the remaining committees gather
several times a week. Floorshow
scripts for both teams have been
written, the casts chosen, and re-
hearsals are underway.
The Maize Team will present an
entirely original show, for which
the complete musical score was
written by Barbara Backlar,
while Shirley Sikkeng, and her
committee wrote all the lyrics.
Both original music and take-
offs on well-known songs will be
featured on Saturday, April 18,
when the Blue team presents its
floor show.
Music was written by Dawn Wal-
dron, while Amy McAvity, and a
special script committee composed
the lyrics. The central committee
also helped.
Both teams are working on a
definite budget, under the direc-
tion of their respective finance
committees. Dues of 50 cents are
being collected from each fresh-
man woman. This money, which
is to be in by Friday, is used to
finance the dance. Any profits will
go to the League Listening Room.
Tickets and program committees
for both teams have completed
their plans' and have sent their or-
ders to the printers.
The awards and judges com-
mittee is contacting prospective
judges, while both publicity com-
mittees are completing plans
concerning the announcement
of the themes chosen by each
team.
Both teams are making prog-
ress on decorations. Each team will
decorate one-half of the League
Ballroom, thus giving guests an
opportunity to see the efforts of
each team, regardless of which
night they attend.
Each team will present its floor-
show on only one night, however.
Judging will be done by the
same persons on both nights. The
three judges will evaluate the ef-
forts of each team on a point sys-
tem. Publicity, floorshow, tickets,
attendance, and finance will all be
considered.
Committee chairmen stressed
that every freshman woman is wel-
come to come and help her team,
regardless of whether she has
signed up or not.
Both teams have posted calen-
dars on the League Undergradu-
ate Office showing meeting times
for each committee, and deadlines
for all jobs.

troit today to present "Vanity
Flair," the 1953 production of Jun-
ior Girls Plays for an alumni aud-
ience at 8 p.m. in Horace Rackham I
Auditorium.
For the first time in over 20
years, the JGP show will hit the
road for a one night stand in
Detroit.

presented shows in Toledo as well
as Detroit..
Sponsoring the junior extra-
vaganza, Detroit alumins will
honor the 120 cast members and
the entire JGP central commit-
tee at a banquet before the
show.
"Vanity Flair" entertained cam-
pus audiences recently at four per-
formances in Lydia Mendelssohn
Theater. The original musical
comedy scored a "hit" with an all
senior audience on Thursday while
the Friday and Saturday shows
were received by receptive public
audiences.

tainment is being planned by the

made under the direction of Judy
Livingston, general chairman.
THIS YEAR'S play, written by
Jane Thompson and directed by
Sue Shafter and Cathy Wilson, is
being proclaimed by many stu-
dents on campus as a show that
rivals Union Opera productions.
Packing scenery and proper-
ties along with costumes for the
120 cast members for the De-
troit billing was taken over by
Margaret Carter, treasurer of
the JGP central committee.
"Some of the hardest things to
pack into the truck," said Miss
Carter, "were" the delicate dice
boxes that are used in one of the
western scenes of the show."

Have You Considered A
CAREER IN
RETAI LING
Retailing is a fascinating field, with the
intriguing challenge of a constantly chang-
ing scene. There are more opportunities
in retailing than there are men and women
to fill them. These positions are attractive
in financial reward for the imaginative
and creative person. They offer pleasant
working conditions and rewarding careers
for college graduates.
Jacobson's, an 84-year-old Michigan fash-
ion Institution, seeks young people for its
learn-by-doing training program, offering
a salary while learning, and eventual ex-
ecutive positions.
Most of the important position's in this
rapidly growing business have been filled
from this training program.
