THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21,1955 TIlE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21.1955 I Campus Organizations Will Present Their Annual Dances Throughout Year U Colleges Will Sponsor Own Traditional Festivities Committees Plan Various Celebrations +''1 ,. f. By SUE RAUNHEIM During the school year, the dif- ferent colleges in the University sponsor their own annual dances. Early in the fall the School of Natural Resources holds its an- nual Paul Bunyan Ball. It was started when the Foresters decid- ed they wanted a dance which was different from all others on campus. They rented an old barn and came to the dance in blue jeans and plaid shirts, the typical dress of lumbermen. Since then the dance has become an annual event, held in honor of the "great- est woodsman of them all." In order to create the proper atmosphere, the students bring in pine trees whlcic were cut down by members of the Forestry Club. Caduceus Ball In February,. Galens, honorary medical fraternity,asponsors its annual Caduceus Ball. This dance is given especially for medical students and staff members at the University Hospital, but is open to students from all schools. The name of this ball comes from the Caduceus, a symbol con- sisting of a rod entwined with snakes, which dates back to Greek and Roman days. ,During intermission, the medical students usually put on some type of skit satirizing a part of the Medical School. This past year they made fun of the school with a radio program. Military Ball Another Important dance is the Military Ball which is held in March. Traditionally a formal af- fair, cadets appear in full uni-. form. ROTC unit commanders and visiting dignitaries attend the dance to make it a festive occa- sion. Last year, highlighting the mil- itary decorations was a 15 foot model of a rocket ship set up at the edge of the dance floor. The dance is sponsored by the ROTC units on campus but re- serve officers and other students are also welcome to attend. An annual tradition is for mem- bers of the Arnold Air Society and Scabbard and Blade to entertain their dates at dinner before the dance. Both are honoraries. Odonto Ball Following this, the School of Dentistry presents Odonto Ball in honor of the senior class. In 1951 the dance helped cele- brate the diamond jubilee of the founding of the University Den- tal School. Decorations showed the evolution of dentistry with murals and picturees portraying scenes from the life of a pioneering "tooth doctor" down to the fa- miliar dentist's office of today. The theme of last year's dance was fantasy, and the ballroom was decorated with fairyland charac- ters such as Cinderella, St. George and the Dragon, and Jack and the Beanstalk. Slide Rule Ball Slide Rule Ball is the annual dance sponsored by the College of Engineering. This ball is a rival of the Crease Ball which is spon- sored by the Law School. According to tradition the cam- rus !awyerc use all legal and il- legal ingenuity to discover where the huge eight foot slide ruo has been hidden l y the engineers and try to steal it for their Crease Ball. This rivalrydeveloped on cam- pus many years ago when law classrooms were located in Haven Hall. Guarding one entrance to the diagonal while the engineers held down the fort at the opposite end, the lawyers aroused the anger of the "engine gang" by parking a car in the middle of the engineer- ing arch and letting the air out of the tires. In revenge, the engineers would form a human chain across the arch to prevent the lawyers from reaching their classrooms. Thus began the friendly feud. Crease Ball Then the lawyers present their Crease Ball which receives its name from the appearance of the lawyers back in the early days. At that time lawyers, who were called barristers, were forced to struggle for a living and their trousers along with the rest of their clothes were noticeably lacking in creases. Last year, each couple who at- tended the ball received a copy of "The Michigan Raw Review" a humorous takeoff of "The Michi- gan Law Review" publication. International Ball The International"'Center in co- operation with the International Students Association present In- ternational Ball. This dance is held annually and is formal. Stu- dents from foreign countries per- form their native dances. To highlight this event, the In- ternational Center holds an In- ternational Week with parties, luncheons and auctions being the main events. The Ball concludes a week of gay festivities between American and foreign students. I "A HUNTING WE WILL GO . . ." EVEN FRATERNITY MASCOTS ATTEND IFC BALL Graduating Coeds Hold Cosmetics Change with Season Zenior Nigh BY BARB HECHT Each spring the senior women meet for the traditional festivities of the Senior Night dinner and program. Until 1933 a Senior Supper was held in Betsy Barbour. After din- ner coeds clothed in caps and gowns, paraded to Waterman Gymnasium to view a show pre- sented by the junior women. Upon completion of the Union, Senior Suppers were held in the new building, while the shows were given at the old Whitney Theatre on Main Street. Held in League Starting in 1936 and continuing to the present time, the traditional dinners have been held in the League. In 1936, seniors rented caps and gowns for the occasion and were charged 65 cents for the dinner and play. For the duration of the war, the Senior Supper was discontinued, although seniors were still invited to attend the Junior Girls Play production. Senior Supper became Senior Night in 1949. The Senior Night program begins at 5:30 p.m. with the traaitional march from the library to the League. Following the parade, a banquet is served in the League Ballroom. Romantic Status Revealed At the dinner, each senior wo- man bears a sign of her romantic it Program status. Married women carry cand- les while engaged coeds suck lemons. A pin-cushion made by Miss Ethel McCormick, social director of the League, holds safety pins which pinned seniors must wear instead of their fraternity pins. Every Senior Night general chair- man inscribes her name on the cushion at the end of the cere- mony. Unattached coeds carry pennies to toss in a wishing well, one for each year of their age. Preview JGP After the dinner, the seniors preview the premiere of the JGP production, presented in their hon- or by the junior women, in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Taking full advantage of their class status, the senior coeds en- joyed the opportunity to call for a repeat performance of any song, dance or scene they particularly, liked in the evening's entertain- ment. In 1938, however, the custom of throwing pennies, confetti, gun- drops and sticky stuff was tabooed. In previous years, the seniors wore caps and gowns. Due to the increase in price for the garb, this custom was dropped in 1952. The 1955 theme of Senior Night was "Pot 'O Gold," in keeping with the St. Patrick's Day spirit. By DEEDY ROBERTSON With the changing of the sea- sons, many new and different items are appearing on the cosmetic and fragrance markets over the entire nation. One of the most revolutionary and different concoctions is an aft- er-bath cologne that features both lasting fragrance and skin-sooth- ing properties. Packaged in a five-ounce spray container, which eliminates spill- ing worries, the cologne emerges as a fluffy white foam. Non-Sticky The cologne was developed and produced by a famed cosmetic firm, which claims that this product is completely non-sticky and that it will melt into the skin very quick- ly. The new cologne foam is avail- able in four well-known scents. The producers of this lanolin-en- riched cologne say that these sub- tle fragrances will outlast alcohol- based cologne by hours. Another new product on the scent scene is a scientifically de- veloped perfume "pellette" which is enclosed in a tiny lace envelope. Long-Lasting The scent of this tablet form perfume is said to last for weeks without replacement. The mak- ers claim that their product cannot disintegrate in use and that mois- ture will not affect the tablet or its fragrance. It can be used in a woman's purse or attached to her clothing. It can also be put in dresser draw- ers with handkerchiefs or lingerie. There is world of fragrances from which to choose a correct one for each individual coed. It might be a light floral scent or a heavy oriental, a spicy bouquet or a def- initely "sweet" one. Many Fragrances No one fragrance is right for all women, because of personality dif- ferences, but all women can wear more than one fragrance. Varying scents can be mixed and matched until the right combination is dis- covered. Perfume should be applied light- ly to many areas instead of just one. After a bath, touch it to wrists, throat temples, and even the hair. Perfume reaches its full- est beauty only when warmed by the skin, fashion experts say. No liquid perfume application will last all day. It should be re- newed with frequent touch-ups as often as lipstick. Round the Clock To get the fullest benefit from perfume, a woman should use enough so that it will act as "round Stadium Wear The Saturday afternoon foot- ball games are often more like summer than fall. Cottons and skirts and blouses are appropriate dress for coeds for the first few, games, with sweaters, heavy wool- ens, stadium boots and colorful blankets in order for the end of the season. the clock magic" for her and those around her. For dieting women, a new de- velopment on the cosmetic scene is lotion, which is applied to firm the skin while losing weight. The producers of this product state that as one loses weight, the skin tends to sag and this lotion tightens the skin and brings back' the natural elasticity. Little Needed ,Very little of the cream is need- ed to cover the body, and in only a few minutes it is absorbed into, the skin and disappears. . A recently introduced hand cream, advertised to be "scientif- ically years ahead" offers a "new' deep softing action" against the chill of cool fall days. The producers claim that this lotion is unique in that the bene- ficial action is not stopped on the outer skin but pentrates below the surface. Healing Quality Another quality of this hand cream is that it will counteract the irritating chemical action of soaps and detergents. It also heals chapping hands from d a m p weather and smooths out any dry, scratchy roughness. Another new product currently appearing in local drug and cos- metic stores is a combination com- pact and lipstick holder in the shape of a tiny hand mirror. This Parisienne vanity case con- tains a cream powder in a pressed non-spilling form. By ESTHER MARGOLIS Special occasions give various campus committees the opportu- nity to plan festive dances to celebrate such events as Home- coming and Greek Week. This year will mark the 58th presentation of Homecoming fes- tivities at the University. Last year, the weekend was highlight- ed by "Brown Jug Ball" which featured Woody Herman and his Third Herd. The big weekend was first in- augurated in 1897, when alumni came home for a football game with the Varsity. Brown Jug Rivalry Since then, though, no one ex- actly knows how the event came about. It has come to Include a rivalry between the Minnesota Gophers and the Michigan Wol- verines for the "Little Brown Jug." The dance itself originated dur- ing the forties. Previous to this time, the houses on campus held their own individual dances. I-Hop To supplement another football weekend, I-Hop is' held the night of the Michigan-Iowa game. It will be the first all-campus dance to be held this fall. The dance is sponsored by Assembly. The decorations committee car- ried out the Arabian theme of "A Thousand and One Nights" last fall, and couples danced to the music of Tommy Aquino Proceeds from the dance are traditionally given to a charitable organization. The dance this year will be in- formal, and late permission is us- ually granted. IFC Ball Fraternity men and their dates took a "Venetian Holiday" last year as they danced to the music of Claude Thornhill at the annual Interfraternity Council Ball. Climaxing the IFC - Panhel Greek Week Program, the tradi- tional affair helps to maintain good inter-fraternity relations, Panhel Ball The Panhellenic Association also gets into the swing of things with their annual Panhel Ball. Last year's semi-formal dance followed the theme of "Candy- land" and was held in the League Ballroom. The "Psurfs," a barris- ter singing group of 12 men, en-., tertained during intermission. In years before and including 1945, Panhel Ball was sponsored jointly by both Panhellenic and Assembly. sr~x.. ,. .. .V. .. ..:x .... x ... .... . . ..... .. .x....:,... .. .. . .. . .. . ........ ......**..::...::.}::::.tv..33 @..Y..~n... . . . . .......... . .. ... .} Y .n:4...SS::.uSwvL Gu :U..}an s +.~?. ........"...... .....d1 h. 6 .ek}~sxddY..d Cnhh...:s u sX k e~.....v.. .r..a.. ...n..../...i iv. ta.'Cty.v_____h.3'.r.n 0.::: .~ v...~.,v.w. -.
