Vtoc'tory Rhythm Will Highlight
Weekend Dances At League
Combining two dances under the
same title and two nights with the
same theme, is the energy-saving plan
devised by the League social commit-
tee to test the patriotism of both
types of students-it's Victory Week-
end from 9 p.m. to midnight Friday
and Saturday nights in the League
Ballroom.
The United Nations Swing (Friday
night) and the Firecracker Fling
(Saturday) not only provide a simple
rhyme but plenty of complicated
rhythm via Gordon Hardy, his piano
and his orchestra. Together they will
be known as Victory Weekend, fur-
ther qualification necessary only to
spare social confusion. Never before
in the history of the League has such
a weekend been attempted but since
everyone and everything else is pub-
licly "all out for victory" just so are
the fertile brains of the council
members.
Special invitation, denoting all
sorts of honor, have been issued
members of the fighting forces-the
NROTC, ROTC-and the Interna-
tional Center whose countries will be
remembered through the use of all
United Nations flags unfurled over
the band stand on Friday night.
One of the many features of Sat-
urday night will be noise-other than
vocal, musical and automatic-furn-
ished by those things you usually get
at Halloween parties, for this pur-

pose-crackers. Each couple will be
presented with one cracker and an
instruction sheet indicating how to
obtain the most possible noise. Be-
cause of the governments adversion
to firecrackers, the never-stumped
League will thus furnish firecrackers
without the fire.
Both dances will enjoy the presence
of 20 hand-picked hostesses guaran-
teed to be good dancers, good mixers,
good conversationalists and different
each night. Those women whose
names are on the official hostess list
to be printed in Friday's Daily are
asked to meet at 8:45 p.m. Friday in
the undergraduate office of the
League.
The dances will be most informal
and any manner and style of dress
will be acceptable. Undergraduates
and graduates in couples or singly as
well as townspeople are urged to at-
tend these dances, the only real)
chance for dancing diversion offered'
this summer.
'M'aGeol ogists
Look For NITewt
WaterSupply
Members of the geology department
of the University have been search-
ing for a new water supply for the
past wee) at Plymouth, after officials
of that city requested aid in finding
a new source of water to supplement
their present insufficient supply,
Prof. Kenneth K. Landes announced
yesterday.
Professor Landes and Dr. James
Wilson have been using a method
new to this part of the country-a
method called electrical resistivity.
Instead of drilling holes to discover
the presence or absence of water,
currents are passed through elec-
trodes , laced a various distances
from the observer. Areas containing
water show a distinct difference in
resistance from areas containing only
dry sand and shale. At least two
months of observation and searching
will be required before any definite
report can be made, declared Profes-
sor Landes.
French Club To Meet

Le Cercle Francais will hold its
first summer meeting at the League
at 8 p.m. tomorrow, with short talks
and group singing highlighting the
program.
Both summer term and summer
session students are invited to attend
the gathering, it was announced by
Prof. Antoine Jobin, in charge of the
Cerele's summer activities. Refresh-
ments will be served.
