Novelaires To Sing at 'Autumn Nocturne'

Ticket Sales

Tommy Dorsey and his band will
be in town for "Autumn Nocturne,"
informal dance to be presented
from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. tomorrow at
the Intramural Building.
The bandleader is bringing with
him two vocalists, Marietta Knox
and Marv Hudson, Dorsey's latest
talent in the field of crooning.
** *
ALSO WITH the band is Sam
Donahue, a former bandleader in
this area who currently plays ten-
or saxophone for the aggregation.
Dorsey, who is also a compe-
tent classical musician, will play
music in his sweet-swing style.
Several of his hit tunes are "Ma-
rie," "Song of India" and "Once
in a While."
Tommy and his brother, Jimmy,
started out in the band business in
1934 when they had such person-
nel as Bob Crosby, Glen Miller and
Ray McKinley.
WHEN THIS band broke up they
each formed a separate band, and
Tommy developed the sweet-swing
style he is known for today.
Tommy has been touring the
country for 15 years and he al-
ways runs up against the ques-
tion of why he and Jimmy never
got along together.
"The famous Dorsey Brothers'
battles were no more than family
spats," said Tommy after the two
broke up. "We've always been the
best of pals and always will oe."
* * *
INTERMISSION entertainment
will be provided by the Novelaires.
The quartet, from the Men's Glee
Club, won last year's Gulantics
and sang for Varsity Night last
week.
Tickets for the all-campus
dance will be on sale at the
door for the price of $3.60.
Alpha Phi Omega, service fra-
ternity, will take charge of the
checkroom, and Sphinx, junior
honorary, will be in charge of serv-
ing refreshments.
Last spring the central commit-
tee for "Autumn Nocturne" was
faced with the problem of having
Dorsey's band a week after home-
coming weekend or getting a sec-
ond-rate band from nearby. The
committee chose the former alter-
native and the Homecoming Dance
was postponed a week.
General chairmen are Mike Mc-
Nerney and Bob Steinberg. Others
on the committee are Anne Fur-
stenau, decorations; Cris Riefel,
tickets; Bob Reardon, buildings
and grounds; Joan Karabelnick,
programs; Mary Ann Chacarestos,
publicity and Reudi Gingrass,
checking and refreshments.

Scott House
Party Starts
Cup Tradition
Trophy To Be Given
For Committee Work,
Scholarship, Athletics
By KATHEY ZEISLER
Men of Scott House in South
Quadrangle threw a stag party
Wednesday night to launch com-
petition for a trophy.
Each corridor presented a skit
for entertainment at the party
and the best one was awarded a
temporary trophy and 15 points.
*At the end of the semester a
trophy will be presented to the
corridor with the most points for
participation in sports, member-
ship on committees and scholar-
ship.
First events of the evening were
the skits, judged by resident ad-
visors of Reeves, Huber and Kel-
sey Houses.
Corridor 5400 harmonized on
the tune "Shine on Me" in good
old barbershop fashion, except it
was done with five people.
The ditty of "Nancy Brown" was
rendered by George Edelman in
the part of Nancy, David Levine,
who accompanied himself on an
E-flat tennis racket and Herb Sol-
omon, portraying the many men
in Nancy's young life.
The 5100 corridor of Scott House
joined voices in a version of
"Alouette" while "It Pays to Ad-
vertise," a song written especially
for the occasion by Brian Honess,
was artistically performed by Jer-
ry Smith, tenor, All Smallman,
bass, Dan Halpern, alto and Eu-
gene Tomlinson, baritone.
The men in corridor 6300 pre-
sented a not-quite typical repre-
sentation of a house meeting in
the quad.
Next on the agenda was a quar-
tet singing "On Moonlight Bay,"
and "Coney Island Babe." Several
short numbers were presented by
Duane Schultz with his ukelele
and Dave O'Brien on the harmon-
ica.
The atmosphere shifted to the
South Sea Islands when Ken Kaji
presented an agile hula dance
with the uke accompaniment of
Walt Long. Four other men sang
a novel variation of "Glow Worm."
The last artists to take the stage
were the resident advisors of Scott
House, who presented a parody of
the progress of two freshmen, a
farmer and a city man.
The judges' .decision was an-
nounced and a wastebasket full of
odds and ends with the word "tro-
fee" painted on it, was awarded to
the victors, corridor 6100.
The winning skit was based on
a farmer's daughter and traveling
salesman joke with Dan Peterson
as the farmer, Jim Kruthers, Al
Haggerty, and Phil Stone acting
the role of the daughters. John
Shepherd was the traveling sales-
man.
The master of ceremonies spot
was taken over by Stan Pasikoff,
and the entire party was engi-
neered by Dan Peterson, social
chairman, and Len Marxhall, stag
party chairman.
Members of the committee were
Allan Price, Jim Ward, Bob Lorey,
Herb Solomon and John Amhein.

Little Club.. .
Informality will rein at the "Lit-
tle Club" from 9 p.m. to midnight
today in the North Lounge of the
Union.
Once again the student-run club
will provide an atmosphere of soft
lights and smooth danceable music
to entertain the Friday night soc-
ial set.
Music by Dick Mottern's Ann
Arbor Alley Cats will serenade
"nightclubbers" during the even-
ing with current popular tunes
such as "You Belong to Me" and
"Somewhere Along the Way."
However, the "Cats" will add
variety to the program with a de-
parture from the smooth music
when they "take off" on one of
their special dixieland jazz num-
bers.
The price of admission will be
$1 for couples spending the entire
evening at the "Club" and 75
cents for those dropping in after
10:30 p.m.
Tickets may be purchased at the
main desk in the Union lobby.
Since the club is designed to
cater to the students, the Union
social committee is anxious to re-
ceive suggestions from club pa-
trons on how to improve the dance.
Any student wishing to offer
criticism may call Art Bublitz at
the Student Offices in the Union
from 3 p.m.to 5 p.m.from Monday
through Friday.
The Union social committee will
try to incorporate these sugges-
tions in planning new "club" fes-
tivities.
Refreshments on the "Little
Club" menu will consist of Cokes,
pretzels and potato chips served in
the North Lounge.

Senior Society
Senior Society, honorary for
independent women, tapped
Gloria Cheek, Laura Leidig,
Carol Alchin, Jo Spencer,
Gloria Yough, Gail Hymen and
Peg Nimz in their semi-annual
tapping ceremony last night.

Round-up Room .. .
Ted Smith and the "Five. Aces"
will once again provide music for
listening and dancing from 9 p.m.
to midnight tonight in the Round-
up Room of the League.
For students who like the at-
mosphere of a "big city" night
club, the Round-up Room pro-
vides such features as dim-light-
ing, crowded dance floor and small
tables.
Ted Smith and his aggregation,
carrying out the night club theme
with their checkered shirts and
casual black string ties, will supply
music that is good for "sitting-
out" as well as dancing.
Members of the "Five Aces" in-
clude Ed Skidmore, bass; Fred
Steinbaugh on the drums; Chuck
Stauffer, alto sax; and Don Shet-
ler at the piano. Vocal numbers
will highlight modern danceable
music in the style of the combo.
"For those who want to spend
an informal evening or casual
date, where good entertainment is
positively guaranteed, the Round.
up Room sessions should be made
a regular Friday night habit,"
states Smith.
Admission to the night club will
be 50 cents a person or $1.00 a
couple.
