The purpose of the meeting is to explain a new hostessing systen for the dances given at the League in connection with/the Summer Session social of- fice.

As usual, Earl Stevens and his or- chestra will supply the music and the admission charge will be 35 cents. Students are urged to come with or without partners as there will be a group of 25 girls at each dance to help acquaint the students with one another and to see that everyone is dancing or in some way mixing with others. &eddings r and .e engagements Among the engagements in De- troit last week of former students of the University was that of Marilyn Gittens, '40, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Clarence E. Gittens of De- troit. . Her betrothal to Stewart S. Hoff- mann, son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl J. Hoffmann, of Detroit and Port Hur- on, was made known last Saturday at a double announcement party given at the Hoffmann summer home. Betty Hoffmann, Mr. Hoffmann's sister, announced her engagement to Herbert C. Woolson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry T. Woolson, at that time. Miss Gittens' Wedding Miss Gittens' wedding is to take place Aug. 24. Her sister, Mrs. J. M. Thompson, of Grand Rapids, will be her matron of honor, and Miss Hoffmann will be the maid of honor. The bridesmaids will be Mrs. John P. Hinckley, Mrs. William H. Decker, of Philadelphia, Mrs. Richard Har- roun, Mrs. Sanford Ladd (Stephanie Parfet,. '39), and Doris Vogt.

Morley-Beltaire Troth Mr. and Mrs. Bert Morley, of De- troit announce the engagement of their daughter, Frances Ann Morley,, to Mark Anthony Beltaire, III, son of. Mr. and Mrs. M. A., Beltaire, Jr., of Detroit, at a luncheon last Saturday. Miss Morley is a graduate of Kings- wood, and attended Connecticut Col-1 lege for W6men and the University. She is a member of Collegiate Sor- osis. The wedding is planned for' September. An event of Aug. 3 will be the wed- Play Production threw one of its much talked of traditional picnics Friday night after the show. A self-appointed committee NOT given powers by any Department, Board in Control, Summer School Office, or any other power there-of planned the whole affair. Hot dogs and other nourishing things of liquid form which make any gathering more friendly but which cannot be mentioned explicitly in this column were generously distributed. All in all it was a howling success. Speaking of howling, Ed Pascoe was rendering selections to the whole bunch in his lovely (?) tenor voice. Peg Wiseman, Art Klein, Isa Itkin, Bill Kinzer, Mary Jordan, and, oh yes, Johnny Schwarzwalder were some of the enthralled listeners. Evidence of the generosity of the portions of hot dogs (with all the trimmings, etc.) was made clear the next day by such remarks as, "You know, I don't feel so hot today . . . that picnic last Beach Wear-1i940 Style 4,- TWO ON THE AISLE By_... The Two B's... I night ... ! Crowds Cater I To Cut " ... Less hardy souls who didn't feel up to picnicking in the wilds of Loch Alpine in the winter weather Friday night or who weren't in the select bunch asked to attend, satisfied their appetites with watermelon at the much-heralded watermelon cut. Though it was kinda cold for that sort of feast, mobs of people turned out and ate the juicy fruits (or are they vegetables?) with relish. Tom Todd did the cuttin' honors in great style and sort of spread around that Southern hospitality we hear so much about way up here in the North. He called out states and we found that Dave Cox, Lo- wel Perkins and Don Thomas were all from Virginia, Dick Lyons from Tennes- see, and Jane Williams and Jake Evar s from Kentucky. As we wove around th crowd saying "Honey chile and yo-all" we noticed that we weren't the only fakers . . . but it was all in good fun and we think it's a wonderful idea. Southern night followed in the League Ballroom after the cut. Dancing to soft music and giving all the pretty gals a big rush were Bill Leeder and Jim Martin. We also saw Peg Whitker and Pete Antonelli talking over something serious. Saturday night, to sort of balance things up, a new custom was started with a "Yankee Night" which also drew a big crowd and will probably be repeated next year. Patricia Holmes and Jim Atwood seemed to be enjoying the whole idea. Picnics 'n Parties Even though dancing has its charms picnicking and swimming seem S to be the most popular summer pastimes for most r everybody. Jane Carey Cristoe, Bill Harrison, Ginny Drury and Jack Engel were seen cooling off in icy water. And Sunday out at Waterloo Park we sneaked up and saw Hazel Jensen, Paul Nielsen, Doug Miller, Bob and Fee Wurstee swimming, playing baseball, and, if you can believe it, "Puss in the Corner" too. Second childhood, we guess! There's always a party of some sort down at one of our favorite taverns. Flautz (adv.) Wednesday night, over our beer mug, we saw one composed of two charming ladies and four handsome men (we certainly hope we get an A out of this!) The party was composed of Jack Weimer, Bill Halstead, Nancy Bowman, Jack O'Neill, Joe Conlin and Mrs. Conlin (the lovely Mary Pray), who all seemed to be having a swell time. Not to show favoritism to any of the downtown haunts we might mjention that there are always parties at the Pretzel Bell (adv.) too. Saturday night Peg Schiller, Bob Rittenour, Marion Conde and Kip King were seen making merry. We almost forgot to mention the Tea Dance this week, which would be an awful error because it was lots of fun. The general theme was autograph hunting and the idea was to get the autographs of as many people as you could. Several dancers seemed very adept at obtaining signatures, and the final honors went to Lila Foster for the gals and John Por for the fellows. Even though they didn't win, Jeanne Crump and Walter Johnson were standing around looking very happy about something. Helen Zimmerman, Ruth Streelman, who had "' charge of the dance, and Mary Ellen Wheeler were buzzing . . around dancing with lots of the handsome stags. At Sportsman Park Friday night Norm Schorr was seen chatting with Jack Dempsey (those Daily men really' know the right people). In the same party were Barb DeFries, Jo Ann Clement, Allan Kornfeld, and Peter Condliffe, all taking in the fights. - ::o:_ _.
