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 RAY FIFER in position to garner the attention of the dancers.

I 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. -Daily-Don Campbell WEST QUAD WARBLERS-Practice is in full swing for an Allen- Rumsey House Glee Club concert.

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.
