League Ballroom.

Ship" and wall decorations featur-
ing shields of various Nordic tribes
will give a Nordic Nocturne atmos-
phere to the dance.

Quad Will Host
Festival Artists
Before Concert
Tonight West Quad is enter-
taining the Philadelphia Orches-
tra at a banquet in the dorm.
This is the second annual May
Festival dinner at which members
of the quad entertain visiting
guests. The tradition began last
year.
The orchestra will be met at the
Union by the members of the vari-
ous houses. They will divide into
eight groups so that each house
will have some artist as its guest.
There will be campus guests at
the dinner. They will include Pres.
and Mrs. Harlan Hatcher and
members of the music depart-
ment. Also planning to attend is
a music critic from the 'Detroit
News'.
y Informal entertainment will
follow the dinner at which eighty
guests are expected.
According to Russell Gregory,
Resident Adviser of Wenly House,
the festival guests always enjoy
this informal entertainment.
The dinner is sponsored by the
West Quad Council. The student
chairman is Daniel Tobias.
ices, the Navy heads this year's
semi-formal dance.
Tickets for the all-campus affair
may be purchased at North Hall
or or the diag.
Bruce Stevens is general chair-
man of the dance. Bill Rochers-
houser heads decorations, Bill
Chase and Brian Moriarity are in
charge of tickets; Jack Seastrom
and John Freiss head the publicity
committee. Leon Greenblatt is ar-
ranging for the music and enter-
tainment.
Crease Ball* .
Barristers honorary law society
will sponsor the Crease Ball from
10 p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday at the
Lawyers Club.
The dance takes its name from
an ancient tradition of the Bar-
risters" Association of England.
Law students in those days were
said to be so poor that they could
only afford to press their suits once
a year. At this time they gathered
for a "smart wing-ding" in honor
of the occasion. Thus the name,
Crease Ball, was initiated.
Don Kenny's orchestra will pro-
vide dance music. The Psurfs, a
law school singing group, will en-
tertain during intermission. Down-
stairs, couples may hear piano and
banjo players.
Subpoenas requesting ladies to
attend the dance are stamped,
sealed and then delivered by the
Ann Arbor Police Department inj
conjunction with the Barristers.
The subpoenas may be purchased
at Hutchins Hall.
Each couple will recive a copy of;
"The Raw Review," a take-off on
the "Law Review." "This is the
one chance that the lawyers get
to poke fun in print, at the faculty1
and editors of Law Review," stated4
Tom Hoya, law student.-
Profits of the dance will provide
a $200 scholaship for the senior
law student who has made the
greatest financial contribution to
his own needs. As a result of out-
side work his grades may not be
quite high enough for a regular
scholarship. A panel of faculty
members selects the student, who
is then confirmed by the Barris-
ter's Executive Committee.
Tickets for the dance are avail-
able at Hutchins Hall or from any
member of the Barristers, identifi-
able by black string ties. Although
the dance is primarily for law
school students and faculty, it is
open to undergraduates.

"This is operation 4006."
A few polite laughs, rustling
paper and a sudden dash of a
student to a rehearsal room greet-
ed the announcer yesterday as he
continued-"This is WSDR Speech
Department radio, Ann Arbor,
Michigan."
In the listening room of Opera-
tion 4006 on the third floor of
Angell Hall, instructor and stu-
dents were scratching notes or
intently listening to the broadcast.
Operation 4006 is a project to
organize the work of the students
in Speech Department radio under
commercial broadcasting condi-
tions and accurate timing. It has
been presented each semester
since it was originated in 1947 by
Prof. Garnet R. Garrison, of the
Speech Department.
The actual programing of a net-
work and an affiliated station is
duplicated as closely as possible.
Although the programs are one-
third the length of standard
broadcasts, because of time limi-
tations, the commercials are the
standard 30 second period.
Used Closed Circuit
Broadcasting on a closed circuit
to the listening room, the schedule
of Operation 4006 corresponds in
programing with that of a net-
work affiliate station operation
from 9 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. Although
presented in the afternoon and
evening, the program material was
appropriate to the assimilated
broadcasting time.
"All students in radio classes are
participating in this project," Jim
Bob Stephenson, of the Speech
Department, explained. "Each sep-
arate class was assigned several
package shows to be scripted and
directed."
Stephenson made the original
log and assigned the programs to
the various classes. Two weeks pre-
paration and two or three rehear-
sals during class time preceded the
big day.
Confusion reigned in the hallway
as the speech department was
turned into a broadcasting studio.
Students and instructors were
scurrying from the listening room
to a studio while last minute
searches for actors were underway.
Wandering Mike
People were being rushed to the
"Wandering Mike" program and;
asked, "What do you think of the
proposed tuition raise by the Uni-
versity?"
An "On the Air" signal blared;
its warning over the door to one of
the two main radio studios. Ten-
sion rose in the master control
room as the clock swung around
to the second for switching pro-
grams.
Back in the listening room, a
conspicuous silence came over the
loudspeaker. Studio D had failed
to come on at its scheduled time.
Bewildered glances were ex-
changed as someone dashed out to
find the difficulty. Feeble strains of
music valiently tried to cover the
mistake.
"The regularly scheduled pro-
gram failed to appear due to cir-
cumstances beyond our control,"
the announcer apologized.
"Well, we learn by our mis-
takes," a student commented as
Operation 4006 continued.
-Daily-David Arnold
ON THE AIR -- Students participating in Operation 4006 await
the signal from the student director. This radio broadcast has
been written and directed by students in Speech Department
radio classes for WSBN, Speech Department radio.
