On Aug. 14, the group will sail from Le Havre for the United States to end their $925 all-inclu- sive tour of Europe. Riots, raving maniacs and cam- pus feuds fill the colorful his- tory of J-Hop's 77 years of exist- ence on the social calendar. The first hop dates back to February, 1877, when a "merry score of couples swayed to the harmony of a 4-piece orchestra." A writer in a campus publication the next year already regarded the hop as an indispensible tradition. Reportedly the oldest social event at the University, J-Hop has re- mained, and will be held this year from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Fri., Feb. 5. * * * AFTER FOUR years the event was taken over "in name and na- ture" by Greek letter societies, and promptly dubbed "Society Hop." During this time it was given at a Main Street emporium called "Hanks," which combined a res- taurant on the first floor with a dance hall on the second. In 1883, the hop was again opened to all members of the junior class. Even in the early days, J-Hop was a signal for a weekend of gaety, which included such events as a play by the Comedy Club, combined recital by the University choral groups and fraternity dances. * * * COUPLES ARRIVED in town Thursday, after exams were over, and festivities started with formal dinners that night. Friday was filled with sight-seeing, sleigh rides, teas, dinners and many an impromptu musicale around a piano. J-Hop was held on Fri- day night that year as it will be this year. Saturday night was rounded out with more, dances, including an informal dance for independ- ents in the Union. For nearly a decade after this, the dance was given by the juniors in some years and by the fraterni- ties in others. * * * By 1891 J-HOP required the mu- sic of two bands and a new site, describe das "an old rink down- town." The following two years it was presented at Granger's Danc- ing Academy, and price of admis- sion was raised to $1 per couple. Other stages in the dance's and University's growth can be gauged by the size of the dance site. The dance moved to Water- man Gymnasium, overflowings into Barbour Gymnasium, then to the athletic building. One year saw four outcast fra- ternities succeed in renting Water- man Gym after 30 independents had agreed to attend, and spon- sored the "First Annual Promen- ade." The nine other campus fra- ternities took their dance to To- ledo to present the "Twentieth Annual Ball of the Palladium Fra- ternities." * * * BOTH DANCES were'reported successful, but the Regents step- ped in to smooth out the difficul- ties, ruling that in the future, fra- ternities and independents would have equal representation on the planning committee for one big dance. The 1900 J-Hop, attended by 250 couples, boasted the unique feature of having a "large num- ber of coeds present-more than at any previous hop." This was unusual because coeds were up- popular dates in those days and, if a man had no hometown, girl J-Hop Because of the large number of "reservations which were not claimed, students who did not make reservations for J-Hop will have an opportunity to pur- chase tickets when general ticket sales begin Monday. Those with reservations who have not yet picked up their tickets may do so from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. today and from 10 a.m. to noon tomorrow in the Administration Building. Tick- ets are priced at $7. to ask, he usually stayed home rather than suffer an evening with a "coed." In 1913 hop officials ruled that no spectators be admitted to the gallery to watch the final moments of the dance. Previously they jam- med the rafters from midnight on. When met with barred doors, a group reported as "partly students and partly local riff-raff" stormed the entrance and with the aid of a gas pipe ram, gained admission. * * * THEY WERE fended off by a heroic janitor equipped with a pair of Indian clubs, and the bat- tle ensued with stones and fire extinguishers, resulting in $25 damage mostly in window glass and the dismissal of a hospital intern accused of hitting the jan- itor. Investigations by the student council and faculty members continued through the year, and ended in a banning of J-Hop. Several factors entered this deci- sion, which was met with "moans and laments by the sororities." It was about that time that "tan- going in all its intricacies and con- volutions will be barred hereafter at Michigan Union dances." It was ruled that "several couples at the Junior Hop had danced in a man- ner, that could hardly be called proper i.e. the tango). Thus the 1914 J-Hop was dropped. During World War I, many stu- dents had waited in vain for tick- ets for several days and, moved by their protests, the committee decided to present a miniature hop in the Union. In 1920 the raving maniac en- tered the picture. "One medical student," said The Daily, "is re- ported to have gone raving mad and tore around the floor crying: 'Modesty, where is thy sting?' ' This was the year "practically every gown had a narrow shoulder straps, tight bodices, and fairly short skirts, narrow at the bot- tom." "You are ordered to present v yourself before the court of IFC district number five . . ." couples attending "Ann Arbor Confiden- tial," to be held from 9 p.m.' to midnight tomorrow in the League Ballroom, will be informed. Dressed as water-front thugs, gamblers, strong-arm men and Textbooks will be forgotten by party goers dining and dancing at a series of gala formals and din- ners slated for this weekend. Alice Lloyd Hall will present its annual winter formal, "Winterlace Ball," from 9 p.m. to midnight tonight. Paul McDonough and his orchestra will provide music in the main lounge for Lloyd resi- dents and their dates. A mid-century theme will pre- vail throughout the dorm. During intermissions, dancers will chat over punch and cookies. Co-chair- men of the dance are Phyllis Sing- er and Renee Silverman. Mosher Hall is planning an IM swimming party with Cooley House. Refreshments will be serv- ed at Mosher after the party. Red Johnson and his orchestra are on the agenda for Theta Delta Chi men and their dates, with re- freshments during intermission. Tomorrow will feature a spagetti dinner for Adelphi sorority. A rec- ord dance in the house will follow the dinner. Alpha Kappa Psi will honor their dates with a formal dinner dance, featuring "Music by Mitchell." "The Diplomats," a combo, will provide dancing music at the Sig- ma Chi house. Record dances are planned for Alpha Delta Phi, Alpha Kappa Kappa, Beta Theta Pi, Delta Tau Delta and Kappa Sigma frater- nity men and their dates. various other "underworld" char- acters, the fraternity men and their datel will run the risk of being "subpoenaed" during inter- mission. "Criminals" and "subversives" will be selected at random from the dancers and will be tried by a mock court which will hold forth during intermission. Cou- ples will be convicted of crimes appropriate to their costumes. Sponsored by houses included in IFC district number five, the dance is open to members of the eight fraternities included in this divi- sion. Members of Sigma Nu, Delta Chi, Phi Gamma. Delta and Lam- bda Chi Alpha, as well as those men belonging to Trigon, Phi Kap- pa Psi, Chi Phi and Alpha Sigma Phi will be attending the party. Decorations, as well as pro- grams will help carry out the "shady" character of the even- ing's entertainment. Black, red and white covers in overlapping layers will be featured on the programs, with the writing car- ried out in legal language. Dance music, also in keeping with the "subversive" theme will be provided by Don Kenney and his orchestra. The six piece out- fit, which includes trombone, sax- aphone, piano, bass, drum and trumpet, features "very smooth" music. Led by law student Kenney, the band has played for several fra- ternity and sorority functions on campus. Also scheduled for intermission is the awarding of several prizes for the best, funniest and most original costumes. The identity of the prizes will be kept secret until then. Since no admission is being charged, each house in the dis- trict is contributing an amount proportionate to the number of men in the house. f T_ t ~ .I / 3 OFF and morel ELEARA CE of our ENTIRE STOCK of Stormy weather Footwear!
