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. By DIANE FRASER "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.
