TUESDAY, DECEMBER. 7, 1954 THE MICUIGAN DAILY PANE MEV f' I TUESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1954 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE FIVE WAA To Present Dance Concert 'U' Ballerinas To Perform For Children A new twist this year will be giv- en to the annual Christmas Con- cert sponsored by WAA's Ballet Club. The show will be given for the children of Ann Arbor's elementary schools, with youngsters from the Michigan Children's Institute com- ing under special supervision. The program is being given at 4 p.m. Friday in the Sarah Caswell Angell Hall on the second floor of Barbour Gym. It is open for the entire campus to attend, however, special emphasis will be on chil- dren's entertainment. Theme for the concert will be "A Christmas Surprise," and all club members will be participating in some capacity, whether in chore- ography,costumes or dancing. The story of the "Christmas Sur- prise" will be the revealing of the contents of a mysterious package. Opening the program will be a lit- tle girl, portrayed by Marlene Crawford, who dances before the closed curtain with the package. She opens the box and finds a doll, which immediately comes to life. The curtain rises revealing all kinds of toys coming to life. The toys include four snow fair- ies-Marlene Kelavos, Mary Beth Godfrey, Sue Burris and Diana Springett; Christmas tree, Ruth Spitale; a pony, Sandra Bader; three peasant dolls-Judy Barich, Louise Lasker and Helaine Gove- nar. They continue with three toy sol- diers-Janet Scott, Bernadine Bar- tram, and Evelyn Jacoby, a musi- cal doll, Balda Heine; and four Christmas Carols - Beth Greene, Gaille Valentine, Sandra Bader and Margaret Heizmann. The Carols will depict the birth of Christ and the joy of the world. The program is undef- the super- vision of Miss Esther Pease and Miss Jeanne Parsons of the Physi- cal Education Department and Gaille Valentine, club manager. -Daily-Dean Morton BALLERINAS-Pictured from top to bottom, Gaille Valentine, Beth Greene, Sandra Bader and Margaret Heizmann will appear as Christmas Carols in the WAA's annual Christmas Concert given by the Ballet Club, depicting the birth of Christ and the joy of the world. The program will be held at 4 p.m. Friday in Barbour Gym. Dance Chairmen Selected For Paul Bunyan, IFC Ball 'Experiment' TO Schedule Student Trips Members To Offer Film, Open Discussion To Interested Visitors Movies and discussions will high- light a program sponsored by Uni- versity members of the Experi- ment in International Living at 7 p.m. today in Rm. 3M at the Un- ion. The Experiment in International Living, with headquarters in Put- ney, Vt., is an organization which sponsors student trips during the summer to Europe, Asia, and South America. Requirements for the Experi- ment include three years of high school study or two years of col- lege study in the language of the specific country in which the stu- dent wishes to visit. In addition, the applicant is required to complete an application form. Students are placed in small groups of about nine or ten men or women, of the same age, with a leader experienced in foreign trav- el. According to this plan, students go to a specific country, such as France, where they live with a family for a month. During that period, students familiarize them- selves with the language, customs and people. During this period, regular meet- ings are held to discuss plans for bicycle trips and excursions to his- torical spots, such as old castles, churches and famous battle fields. In the beginning of August, the American students and their for- eign friends take a bicycle trip throughout the country for about two weeks. This trip affords the visitors the opportunity to see his- torical places, while associating with the natives of the country. The last part of the trip is spent in a large city, such as Paris. Mu- seums, night clubs and famous monuments are included in the agenda of the final stay. Student ships then transport the experimenters back to the United States. The project operates both ways, since foreign students have the op- portunity to come to this country and participate in the same type of program. Several "experimenters" on cam- pus have arranged an informal program for students interested in participating in such an experi- ence. Further information may be ob- tained from Marilyn Spiro at No 8- 6195 or Paul Berg at NO 3-0849. Interested students will have a chance to sign up for Spring' Week~- end committees following the mass meeting at 7:15 p.m. today in the League. Each member of the central committee will give a short talk explaining the job of his commit- tee in relation to the weekend as a whole. Co-ordinators of the committees are Barbara Burstein and Stan Lei- ken, co-chairmen of the Spring Weekend. Skit Night, a main feature of the Weekend, is under the direction of Nancy Fisher and Tom Cham- berlain. Their committee is divided up into four sub-committees. The first group will deal directly with the various skits. This committee eliminates scenarios, directs skits and makes sure that houses are preparing their skits. The remaining sub-committees of the skit committee will take charge of securing judges, selecting and buying trophies, and obtaining an emcee. Special events committee, under the leadership of Jan Northway and Bob Gillow, will plan the proces- sion which officially opens Spring Weekend. This committee also makes all arrangements for the Wolverun Derby; the soap box race in which racers are entered to be judged on speed, workmanship, and originality. Publicity will be handled by co- chairmen Joyce Lane annd Fred Trost. Posters, radio and TV stunts, stickers, fliers, and buttons will be distributed. The Daily Publicity committee members work with Gail Goldstein. Herb Wander will head the pro- gram committee which compiles and sells programs. Responsible for Skit Night stag- ing in Hill Auditorium, Andy Sny- der and Dave Davies will need workers to help with construction of backdrops, lighting, sound, and making cue sheets for the techni cian. According to Jo Anne Yates and Kirke Lewis, ticket co-chairmen, the aim is to sell more tickets than ever before. Tickets will be obtainable on campus and in hous- ing units. Keeping mimeograph records of all meetings, and carrying. on all correspondence is the job of the Secretary, Edith McClusky. Peg Lane heads the financial committee which draws up the budget, pays for bills and keeps track of expenses. Grass skirts used in Hawaii were first imported into the islands in the 19th Century and the supply for the islands is made in New Jer- sey. -Daily-Dean Morton UNIVERSITY STUDENTS PRACTICE FOR HOSPITAL PARTY Campus Groups To Sponsor Yuletide Party for Hospitals Mass Meeting Planned For Spring Weekend Paul Bunyan Dance . .

Christmas cheer will be brought to shut-ins at local hospitals as the Union, the League, and Mu Phi Epsilon present a variety show and Yuletide party Saturday. Entertaining at University Hos- pital, Ypsilanti State Hospital, St. Joseph's Children's Hospital, Mich- igan Children's Institute and the Ann Arbor Convalescent Home, four acts will entertain in each ward. After the show, patients will sing carols and receive favors. Refreshments will be in keeping with the holiday spirit. Carol Kenney, Bill Cunningham, Mary Ellen Eckhert and orchestra leader Don Kenney, pictured above, are part of the planned program. Individual performers will tour the hospitals, playing to those who are unable to come to the party. A special plea for decorations is being made to sororities, fraterni- ties, and other organizations who are holding parties before this X date. They are asked to save the trimmings from their dances and bring them to the Undergraduate Office in the League so that the shut-ins may enjoy them. Jon Collins of the Union, Joan Hyman of the League, and Mary Ellen Eckert of Mu Phi Epsilon are in charge of the affair. I General chairman of the 1955 In- ter-Fraternity Council Ball, Jay Kaufman, has announced the ap- pointments to the central commit- tee. Central Committee members in- clude Herb Schneider, publicity; Larry Rosen, decorations; Ken Perkins, finance; Ron Ritzler, tick- ets; John Barrows, building and grounds chairman; and Mike Bel- lows, programs and patrons chair- man. They were chosen by IFC offi- cers on an interest and ability ba- sis. The formal dance will be held Friday, Apr. 22, in the League. Climaxing the IFC-Panhel Greekr Week Program, the traditional af- fair helps to maintain good inter- fraternity relations, according to the chairman. Assembly Tells (Author of "Barefoot Boy With Cheek, et) CLOTHES MAKE THE BMOC A few weeks ago I discussed fashions for coeds. I pointed out then that any girl who really wanted to go places on campus had to be bold and ingenious when it came to clothes. This is no less true for the male student. Believe me, men, you'll never get anywhere if you keep skulking around in those old plus-fours. What you need is some dash, some verve, some inventiveness in your apparel. Don't be imprisoned by the traditional conservatism of men's clothing. Brighten up your appearance with a single earring, or a cavalry sabre, or a gold derby. However, guard against gaudiness. If, for instance, you are wear- ing a gold derby, do not also wear a cavalry sabre. This is too much. Wear a dagger instead, or, for informal occasions, a Bowie knife. (Speaking of Bowie knives, I wonder how many of you know what a great debt this country - indeed, the whole world - owes to the West Point class of 1836? You all know, of course, that Colonel James Bowie of the Class of 1836 invented the Bowie knife, but do you know of the many other important contributions to cutlery that were made by classmates of Colonel Bowie's? Are you aware, for example, that Colonel Harry Clasp invented the Clasp knife? Or that Colonel Harry Jack invented the Jack knife? Or that Colonel Harry Putty invented the Putty knife? Or that Colonel Harry Cannon invented the towel? By a curious coincidence, every member of the graduating class at the U. S. Military Academy in 1836 was named Harry, save for Colonel James Bowie. This coincidence is believed unique in the history of American education, though, of course, quite common in Europe.) But I digress. We were talking about men's campus fashions. Let us turn now to a persistent rumor that a garment called the "suit" is on the verge of making a comeback. Some of you older students may remember the "suit." It was an ensemble consisting of a jacket and trousers, both of which - this'll kill you - both of which were made out of the same materiall The last "suit" ever seen on an American campus was in 1941 - and I ought to know, because I was wearing it. Ah, 19411 Well do I remember that melancholy year. I was an undergraduate then and in love-hopelessly in love, caught in the riptide of a reckless romance with a beauteous statistics major named Harry Sigafoos. (She is one of the two girls I have ever known named Harry. The other one is her sister.) I loved Harry though she was far too expensive a girl for me. She liked to eat at fancy restaurants and dance at costly ballrooms and ride in high priced cars. But worst of all, she was mad for wishing wells. It was not unusual for her to drop coins into a wishing well for two or three hours on end. My coins. Bit by bit I sold off my belongings to pursue this insane courtship- first my books, then my clothes, until finally I was left with nothing to wear but a "suit." One night I came calling for her in this garment. "What is that?" she gasped, her lip curling in horror. "That is a 'suit'" I mumbled, averting my eyes. "Well, I can't be seen around campus with you in that," said she. "Please, Harry," I begged. "It's all I've got." "I'm sorry," she said firmly and slammed the door. I slunk home and lit a Philip Morris and sat down to think. I always light a Philip Morris when I sit down to think, for their mild vintage tobacco is a great aid to cerebration. I always light Philip Morrises when I don't sit down to think too, because Philip Morris is my favorite cigarette, and I know it will be yours too once you try that crazy vintage tobacco. Well sir, smoking and thinking thus, my eye happened to fall on an ad in the campus newspaper. "WIN A COMPLETE WARD- ROBE" saidthe,ad. "Touhy's Toggery, the campus's leading men's store, announces a contest to pick the best dressed man on campus. The winner of the contest will receive, absolutely free, a blue hound's tooth jacket, a yellow button-down shirt, a black knit tie, a tattersall vest, gray flannel trousers, argyle socks, and white buck shoes with two inch crepe soles." My mouth watered at the thought of such a splendid wardrobe, but how could anybody possibly pick me as the best dressed man on campus-me in my "suit"? Suddenly an inspiration struck me. I seized pen in hand and wrote a letter to the editor of the campus newspaper: "Dear Sir, I see by the paper that Touhy's Toggery is going to give a complete wardrobe to the student picked as the best dressed man on campus. What a ridiculous idea! "Obviously, to be the best dressed man on campus, you must first I ,4cro44 ACam/2u4 I LEAGUE COUNCIL - League Reservations Open Council will meet at 4 p.m. today in the League. or AnnUal J -Hop' * * * SCROLL-There will be a meet- Reservations for the 1955 J-Hop, ing of Scroll at 4:30 p.m. today in scheduled for Friday, Feb. 4, may the League, be made between 1 and 5 p.m. to- * * * morrow .through Friday in the Ad- WAA BOARD-WAA Board will ministration Building. have an Ensian picture taken at A deposit of $1 will be collected Week's Activities At Past Meeting Hostesses are needed to help get patients in nearby hospitals in the "Christmas spirit" by organizing games and joining in community carol singing at the Mu Phi Epsi- lon, Union and League-sponsored Christmas parties, Assembly Dor- mitory Council officials announced at the meeting yesterday.

Judy Leib and Grace Ritow, chairmen of the dis- cussion, said that typical subjects will be how to interest freshmen in dorm activities and how to in- tegrate Assembly more closely with the residence halls. Universal problems will be taken up at the Assembly Conference in February, along with the all-cam- pus issues usually discussed.
