Midnight Sees
Transmutation
Into AUtopia
J-Hoppers 'Sent,' To New Land
By T. Dorsey And T. Fio Rito;
Murphy, Vandenberg Are Patrons
The greatest mass transformation
in history took place in the Intra-
Imural Building at midnight last
night before the amazed eyes of 3,-
000 people who had assembled for
the 1941 J-Hop.
At the stroke of 12, the:e as a
sudden silence, the music ceased. the
dancers paused as the entire group
was magically transported to a fairy
Utopian world where everything is
perfect: Jayhopmania. There. the
women were beautiful, the men were
handsome, and there were no wor-
ries or cares. It was just like a dream.
Harwood Leads Hop
At the head of the new world. was
John Harwood, chairman of the J-
Hop committee and his guest, Mary
Abendroth of Milwaukee, Wis., On
the council to assist him in running
things as they should be run were:
Janet Sibley, programs chairman,
Betty Ann Cattell and Peggy Cor-
nelius, heads of the patrons commit-
tee; William Kramer, tickets; Paul
Johnson and James Tobin, co-chair-
men of the building committee, Don-
ald Wirtchafter, publicity; Peter
Brown and Russell La Belle, heads
of the booths committee; William
Harrison, decorations; George Ruehle,
favors and Gordon Hardy, band.
The means of transportation by
which the group was whisked from
the beautifully decorated Intramural
Building to Jayhopmania has not
been determined as yet, but it is ru-
mored that they were sent by Tom-
my Dorsey and Ted Fio Rito.
Taking their place as elders in the
new land were more than 200 patrons,
headed by Supreme Court Justice
Frank Murphy, Senator and Mrs.
Vandenberg, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
Dewey, and President and Mrs. Alex-
ander Grant Ruthven.
Some Dismay Tilt
Despite the marvelous assets of
Jayhopmania and the general joy to
be away from the world of blue-books
and eight o'clocks and keeping hours,
there was a little dismay noticeable
at having to leave the splendor of
the Intramural decorations. The cen-
tral theme was of a modern formal,
with a sunburst motif in pastel
shades of green and wine. Center
and end panels of varying colors plus
a large centerpiece that threw sil-
houettes on the walls made for an
enchanting effect. Booths were
draped with horizontal shadings of
green, with modernistic columns
separating each booth. The band
stands were placed diagonally from
each other on either side of the floor,
Before the magic transformation.
the Intramural Building was a swirl
of gay colors and gay lads and lassies.
Favors were given to both the men
and the women and the program,
carrying out the green motif carried
the University coat of arms.
