Senior Ball

Talent Show Will Highlight Weekend

Seniors Will Present
Annual Campus Dance,

.-

By ARLINE LEWIS

Downtown - Ann Arbor
Open Monday Nights to 8:30

A star sprinkled centerpiece will
highlight the decorations for the
all-campus dance "Stardust" to
be presented from 9 to midnight
tomorrow in the Ballroom and
Vandenberg Room of the League.
Offered by the senior class as
their 85th annual Senior Ball, the
dance will feature the music of
Warney Ruhl and the Carol Ken-
ney Trio.
Tickets priced at $2.50 a couple
may be purchased in the lobby of
Mason Hall and will also be sold
at the League during the dance.
Programs and Pictures
Aphotographer will be on hand
to take pictures of couples attend-
ing and programs will be given
out.
Dress for this year's dance will
be informal. In past years fash-
ion trends have dictated that coeds
come attired in costumes ranging
from waistline-less, knee-length
flapper dresses to billowy floor
length formals.
Other Senior Balls have pro-
vided the music of big name bands
such as Ted Weems and Louis

Daily Classifieds Bring Quick Results

Prima and have included, as part
of the weekend's entertainment,
house parties, canoe trips and
sports events.
Reception Replaced
Originally a sidelight to a re-
ception given by the president of
the University for the graduating
class and alumni, the dance grad-
ually replaced the reception.
Senior Ball's long history as a
"must" on the campus social cal-
endar has led to many unusual
events.
In 1911 the Ball war held from
8 p.m. to 3 a.m., and the" grand
march was omitted because of the
"unavoidable confusion and delay"
it caused.
Ticket Demand
Two senior dances were sched-
uled at the last minute in 1931 be-
cause of the demand for tickets.
One dance was held at the League
and another at the Union.
Because of a scarcity of men's
formal attire in 1946, the dance
committee forgot tradition and
made the ball an informal occa-
sion. However, "all men who owned
dinner jackets were urged to wear
them."-
In past years the Ball has been
held at the end of May, but be-
cause of the nearness to final ex-
aminations and the competition
of other spring dances, many cou-
ples could not attend and an ear-
lier time was set.
Brodie To Appear
With 'Stardusters'
At Union Dance
Nightclub atmosphere will pre-
vail at the newly remodeled Little
Club, from 9 p.m. ,o midnight Fri-
day.
Paul Brodie and his 'Stardust-
ers' will provide sweet and smooth
music for couples dancing in the
candle-lit setting. Brodie has
played at many campus affairs and
at several Little Clubs this year
and has been well received by stu-
dents.
Brodie will present his own en-
tertainment during intermission,
something he has never done be-
fore. Dance music and a Charles-
ton demonstration by Brodie and
band promises to find him better
than ever Friday.
Tickets at $1 per couple may be
purchased at the door.

Judges Select.
Lyric Contest
Final Winner
Sophomore Student
Composes Refrains
For' Michigan March'
Chosen last night as winner of
the Union Lyrics Contest was
Robert Brandzel, '57 of the Mu-
sic- School.
Judging the lyrics submitted
were Philip A. Duey, Prof. of Voice
and Director of the Men's Glee
Club, and William D. Revelli, Prof.
of wind instruments and Direc-
tor of the University Bands.
The winning lyrics are:
All hail to Michigan,
Sing a praise to the maize and
blue;
We'll ever back your stand,
And we'll always be loyal to
you.
You're champ on every score,
You're the finest in all the land!
We'll e'er keep fighting for
Another victory for. Michigan.
The lyrics were selected as the
most appropriate for Dr. Edwin
Franco Goldman's new composi-
tion, "Michigan March."
Dr. Goldman, writer of ' such
noted marches as "On the Mall,"
introduced his piece at a band
concert- presented last spring in
Hill Auditorium.
Since that time, the march has
gained popularity throughout the
country. Presented at football
games last fall by the Michigan
Marching Band, it is soon to be
played by the University of Illi-
nois band in its annual program.
The contest was sponsored by the
Public Relations Committee of the
Union under the leadership of Lee
Tenenbaum and David Hubly.

SKIT NIGHT-Students viewing skit night during Spring Week-
end will see panelists greet the celebrities, as Alpha Gamma Delta
in conjunction with Theta Xi present their skit entitled "Nine
to Five." Tickets for skit night will go on gale from 9 a.m. to 5
p.m. starting Wednesday in the Administration Building.
Skit Nightf To Feature
Student Comedy Acts

Two Emcees
To Introduce
Gulantic Acts
Featured on the Hill Auditorium
stage Saturday night in the eighth
annual Gulantics, will be the in-
formal clowning of Howard Nem-
erovski and Tom Leopold.
'Nemo,' of Union Opera fame,
has also appeared in the variety
show in previous years. He will
share the emcee duties with Leo-
pold, president of the Union.
For this year's review the two
are planning a new kind of en-
tertainment to amuse the audi-
ence. They will introduce the stu-
dent talent with gags and one-
line puns instead of the usual di-
alogue routines.
Lively Program
The comics will make funny an-
nouncements during the show
and help to keep the program live-
ly. For the first fifteen minutes
they will joke around together in
the audience. Acting as the reg-
ular masters of ceremonies forthe
production, 'Nemo' and Leopold
will alternate between acts.
In the non-competing section
of the show, the Men's Glee Club
will sing a few numbers from
their repetoire. Prof. Philip A.
Duey of the music school, direc-
tor of the group plans to include
three or four songs in the pro-
gram.
The glee club will open with the
traditional "Laudes Atque Carmi-
na!" "Sing Something Simple,"
and Rachmaninoff's "Commen-
tary on the C Sharp Minor Pre-
lude" will follow. "The Old Fri-
ar's Song" will be sung as another
traditional Michigan number.
Spring Tradition
Prof. Duey founded Gulantics
in an effort to give students an op-
portunity to demonstrate their
talent. The variety show has since
become a spring tradition as the
only all-campus review. Competi-
tion will be keen this year as eight
student acts try to capture one of
the three coveted cash awards.
Gulantics tickets are now on
sale 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Admin-
istration Building. They can also
be purchased all day Saturday at
Hill Auditorium. They are priced
at $1 for first floor and first bal-
cony seats and 75 cents for unre-
served second balcony seats.
Audience's Reaction
Gulantics is the only campus
review that depends upon the au-
dience's reaction to determine the
winners of the three cash prizes
which will be given. Applause, as
registered by an audiometer, will
decide the winners.
All types of acts, such as student
comedians, pantomines, singing
groups, instrumental solos and
group numbers, impersonations,
dancers and pianists have com-
peted in previous years.

LUCKY DROODLES! WEVE GOT 'EM !

E~ahEL

WHAT'S THIS? For sdlution see paragraph below.
IT'S EASY TO SEE that the Droodle above is titled:
Tired anthropologist relaxing-with better-tasting Lucky
behind freshly dug-up fossil. No bones about it, Luckies
taste better to all sorts of people. College smokers,
for instance, prefer Luckies to all other brands, ac-
cording to the latest, greatest coast-to-coastest college
survey. Again, the No. 1 reason for Luckies' wide lead:

Newly elected officers for Jun-
ior Panhellenic are Molly Dwam,
president; Jan Tinkham, vice-
president, Joy Pasternak, secre-
tary, and Ginny Royal, treasurer.
Yesterday was the last official,
meeting of Junior Panhel for
this calendar year. Beginning next
Monday, the delegates will meet,
with Senior Panhellenic. This will
incorporate the new initiates into
Senior Panhel and give them a
clear understanding of its func-
tions before they move into their
respective houses next fall
A few of the activities in 'which
Junior Panhellenic has participat-
ed in this year are as follows: the
joint Junior IFC-Panhellenic flag
selling project in conjunction with
the Ann Arbor Junior Chamber of
Commerce. Over $1,000 was earn-
ed for the proposed Ann Arbor
swimming pool.
A scholarship forum, held in
October, was open to the whole
campus. Instruction was given by
experts on studying effectively. A
project was carried on with the
Veterans Division of the University
Hospital, providing entertainment
for the patients.
At Christmas, Junior Panhel-
lenic worked with the Public Re-
lations Committee of the League
Read and Use
Daily Clqssif ieds

to decorate the League for the
Christmas season.
A forum to evaluate pledging
was conducted and summaries
were submitted to the sorority
houses for future reference. On
May 2, Junior Panhellenic will
combine with Junior IFC to con-
duct a bucket money drive for the
Fresh Air Camp.
The retiring president of Jun-
ior Panhellenic is Carol de Bruin,
a member of Delta Delta Delta
sorority. The three other officers
of Junior Panhellenic are the same
as this semester's.

Sports Day .
Sports Day, held jointly by the
Women's Athletic Association and
Women's Physical Education De-
partment last Saturday, was prof-
itable and enjoyable for all who
attended.
As the day came to a close, one
heard such comments as "We had
a most enjoyable time," "Let's do

it again next year," from the 150
girls and 18 leaders who attended
Sports Day.
A round robin tournament
with eight teams participating,
took up the morning part of the
program for the girls interested in
basketball. Club zone defense,
techniques, and club setups were
the topics of discussion.
Girls participating in the bad-
minton activities had a chance
to play in doubles and singles in
tournament competition.

A master lesson was given for
the girls interested in fencing.
Fencing bouts were held between

Luckies taste better. They taste better,
first of all, because Lucky Strike means
fine tobacco. Then, that tobacco is
toasted to taste better. "It'sToasted"-
the famous Lucky Strike process-tones
up Luckies' light, good-tasting tobacco
to make it taste even better... cleaner,
fresher, smoother. So, enjoy the better-
tasting cigarette ... Lucky Strike.
