Talent Show To Feature
Seven Competing Acts
p.m. to 1 a.m. Saturday, March 6
in the League.
Representing the fickleness of
the month of March, decorations
will center around the transition
,between winter and spring.
** *
WITH the main ballroom repre-
senting spring, those attending
will find a setting of springtime
in a park, complete with benches
trees and flowers.
A rose arbor will sprout in
front of the bandstand and the
scene will be complete with op-
portunities for romance, wish-
ing well included.
Hovering over the spring setting
will be a huge silver cloud.
* * *
PLAYING for dancing couples
in the Ballroom will be Paul Mc-
Donough and his orchestra.-
A familiar figure at Union
dances, McDonough and his
group will play many tunes from
this and last year's Union Op-
eras, as well as current hits.
Included in the seven competing
acts in the sixth annual Gulan-
tics production, to be held Satur-
day, March 5, will be a modern
dance routine featuring Van Bru-
ner, and his partner. Patricia
Scott and a piano solo by Mary El-
len Eckert.
Hurdler on the University track
team for four years, Bruner holds
the University Amateur Athletic
Union records in the low and high
hurdles, as well as the Canadian
Provincial records for hurdles.
, , ,
ALTHOUGH Bruner has no
dancing experience he has alw ;s
had a desire to dance. Since a
choice was necessary between
dancing and track, Bruner chose
track.
With help on some of the more
technical aspects of the dance
from his partner, who has had
training in both modern dance
and ballet, he interprets steps
from ballet and movies.
A senior in the School of Archi-
tecture and Design, Bruner and
Miss Scott will do an interpretive
dance to the music of "Ebb Tide"
and "Love for Sale."
* * *
DIPICTING the tragedy of a
shipwrecked sailor and a native
girl, the ideas for the dance are
original.
First attracted to the piano
when her older brother took les-
sons, Mary Ellen Eckert has
studied the instrument for 12
years.
Receiving first division ratings
in East Lansing High School solo
festivals and superior ratings in
the state of Michigan music con-
tests for high school pianists, she
was chosen as the outstanding pi-
anist of the many who auditioned.
* * *
USING the special concert grand
piano which is reserved for use by
the finest artists on the Hill stage,
Miss Eckert will play "Scherzo in
B-flat minor" by Chopin for iVe
contest.
The seven acts competing for
$175 in awards, representing the
top talent on campus, were chos-
en after extensive auditions.
Staging for Gulantics is being
done by Robert Guise, who design-
ed the staging for Skit Night last
spring. Guise said that the stag-
ing this year will lend a much bet-
ter background for a talent revue
than in past years.
HE THINKS this is especially
true in regard to dance acts that
have had to perforni in past years
on a practically bare stage.
Reserved seating this year will
eliminate the last minute strug-
gle to find seats.
Tickets are reserved for the first
floor and first balcony at $1 per
person, while second balcony seats

Tickets for Guantics are on sale

to 5 p.m. today through next week

Two lessons in the series of 10

tending classes, however, may
still obtain tickets for $3.50 in the

The basic principles are taught
first with the more complicated
methods coming later. In this way
students progressively become
more adept at the game as time
passes.
According to the League com-
mittee in charge of the bridge les-
sons, bridge instruction not only
provides knowledge of the fun-
damentals of the game, but also
affords an opportunity to make
new friends and meet others who
are interested in the game.
Members of the committee also
'emphasized the value of bridge a%
a source of fun and relaxation
throughout theuyear and especial-
ly during exam time studying.

tion point in the seasonal picture.
The hallway will feature melting
snowmen, with the abundance of
flowers increasing as couples near
the main ballroom and spring.
