formal dress, the annual Mortar
Board party is scheduled this year

en's honorary president, general
chairman in charge of arrange
ments, announced yesterday.

band. Until then, Marjorie Brun-
ing, publicity chairman, assures
students that the band is "really
solid.'
As in former years, girls will
make dates for the affair, furnish

Student Governing Body
Approves Constitution
At Meeting Last Night
Hurrying in fifteen minutes
through more legitimate business
than is usually even considered in
an hour, the Student Council,
meeting last night: approved the
constitution of a new organiza
tion, discussed a council vacancy,
and voted unanimously to back the
Student Foundation post-war
scholarship fund.
Approve Fund.
Approval of the scholarship
fund followed a discussion of the
Foundation's plan by John Jay
Douglass, Foundation president.
Present set-up calls for a con
tribution of 10 percent of the an
nual profits of each organization
on the campus, with other solicita
tion plans considered.
Contribute Corsages.
One means of starting the fund,
Douglass suggested, would be for
the 600 women attending the Mili
tary Ball to contribute their war
corsages by placing them in boxes
at the coliseum." This would add
$300 to the fund, all of which will
be invested in war bonds and
stamps.
The council approved the con
stitution of the "Cercle Francais,"
French language organization,
and discussed briefly a replace
ment for Ben McCashland, pharm
acy representative in the council.
George Abbott was named chair
man of the forums committee.

Scat Versatile.
Even with the Glenn Miller com
petition Davis has a long record
of his own which shows up well.
He usually feels right at home at
college dances, having appeared
in over a half dozen college mo
tion pictures.
In Fred Waring's band when it
made its debut in Hollywood,
Davis was acclaimed a star and
remained in Hollywood to make
pictures. He soon decided that
his place was in a band, so he
gathered together a group of
young swingsters and formed a
band. Thus far in the war many
bands have felt the axe, but Davis
and Co. and not been greatly af
fected.
Students who are selling tickets
to the ball and uesire to get in
free for selling ten tickets must
turn in the money to their com
pany commanders Friday after
noon.
