Assembly Assoclation
To Give Annual I-Hop

The mystery of the numerous
'Black Magic' signs which have
been puzzling many University
students is now solved. 'Black
Magic' is the theme chosen for the
1955 I-Hop, which will be held
from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Saturday,
Oct. 15, in the League Ballroom.
The I-Hop, originally known as
the A-Hop when I.H.C. and As-
sembly were co-sponsors, is solely
an Assembly project this year.
One of the first all-campus
dances of the season, it will fol-.
low the Michigan-Northwestern
football game.
Two Bands
Music which will appeal to the
taste of everyone will be provided
during the evening. In addition
to the smooth, danceable music of
Paul Brodie's Band, which will
be featured in the Ballroom, the
Ann Arbor Alley Cats ,will pre-
sent specialty numbers in the Hus-
sey Room of the League for the
benefit of all Dixieland enthus-
iasts.
During intermission, exhibition
dancers from the League dance
classes will perform.
The dance this year, as in others,
will be informal. Women will
wear dressy dresses, while the
male attire will be the usual dark
suits.
Tickets To Be Sold
Committee members urge every-
one to remember tha "his is both
a coed and a boy-bid dance. Tick-
ets will be on sale in the League
and in other campus buildings by
the end of the week.
The central committee mem-
bers of this year's I-Hop include
Nancy Case as general chairman,
Connie Mair, who will handle the
a decorations, and Baily Apple, who
is in charge of ticket distribution.
The finance and orchestra will

be handled by Mary Kay Bawalda,
while JoAnn Ropeta is program
and patron chairman. Jean Un-
derwood is in charge of publicity.
Previous I-Hop Themes
In keeping with some of the
previous I-Hop themes, which,
during the past five years, seem
to have had "Darkness" as their
watchword, is the theme of this
year's event. Large shadow boxes
with numerous silhouettes will
produce a deep and mysterious
spell on all those who attend.
Recent I-Hop themes have fea-
tured 'Blue Horizons,' 'Night of
Knights' and 'A Thousand and
One Nights.' The wonders of out-
er space set the stage for the an-
nual affair five years ago, when
a rocket ship and murals depict-
ing imaginary scenes on the moon
transformed the Ballroom into a
fantastic, unreal world:
Football took the spotlight in
1949, when the theme "Welcome
Army" tied in with the weekend
of the Army-Michigan game, play-
ed at home that year. Scenes of
a typical football day were por-
trayed around the walls and in
the rooms of the second floor of
the League.
