Over 100 couples will sway to the music of Gene Hull's campus orchestra. The theme of the evening's entertain­ ment is taken from Cole Porter's song, "In the Still of the Night." The decora­ tions of stars and candlelight will add to the effect suggested by the theme. The Glee Club members will entei'tain their guests at intermission time with a half-hour concert of popular favorites. Another highlight of the dance is a spe­ cial favor-program given to each couple. Along with various poetic excerpts, this elaborate souvenir holds a picture of the couple, taken and developed at the dance. Guests of honor include Dean and Mrs. Daniel Pedtke and the queen of the dance, Miss Donna Hazelton of Aurora, 111., guest of Roy O'Neil, president of the Glee Club.

Canisius, N.Y.U. Await Tourin g irisIrisih Eastern Foes Present Strong Competition By RALPH WRIGHT

Notre Dame's unpredictable cagers are heading East today where they will play before approximately 30,000 people in their annual scuffles Avith Canisius and N.Y.U. The eastern climate seems to be like a shot of adrenalin to Irish basketball teams, so local rooters are hoping ND will put on its best perform­ ances in spacious Buffalo Memorial Auditorium and more spacious . N.Y.U., Canisixis and Notre Dame have season records somewhat alike. Playing i-ugged schedules, they^ve lost occasionally when they shouldn't have, but all of them have looked great at times. Neither of the eastern squads can afford to underestimate ND. In seven games with the Irish, Canisius has never won, whereas the Violets have won only three of 15 engagements against Notre Dame. Last year Canis­ ius lost, 64-53, and NYU had its un­ beaten record spoiled when it dropped BENGAL BOUTERS START CONDITIONING EXERCISES FOR TOURNEY a 64-59 thriller.

/ Can Hear It Noiv, the brilliant album of records that re-create in voices the sounds of the fateful years between 1933 and 1945, gives us a kind of oral record of the feeling we had for an era. coUkgo maji should know! It isn't a history in the strict sense (there are only brief excerpts from each talk), but it may serve as a permanent memory for those of us who were not old enough to grasp the significance of those early years, or who simply forget easily. In case you aren't familiar with this album, it is the result of the efforts of Edward K. Murrow (the CBS news an­ alyst) and Fred W. Friendly, who spent nearly two years listening to 500 hours of old broadcasts. Out of all this ear- bending they compiled 45 minutes of This is a Pre-Med.

The first voice is Will Rogei'S and the record spins on through Herb Mor­ rison's dramatic coverage of the Hin- denburg disaster (it caught him un­ aware, and he kept yelling, "Oh, oh it's terrible!"), Lou Gehrig's words on his retirement at Yankee Stadium, the speeches of Willkie, Hitler, Churchill, Roosevelt and many more — all held to­ gether by the pointed narrating of Mr. Murrow. Even now those early fireside chats of Roosevelt and the slow drawls of Will Rogers and Huey Long (each quite dif­ ferent, though) seem hazy. Listening to these records brings back, for an in­ stant, the familiar scenes and sensations of 15 years ago, much as a fleeting smell or sound does when it hits us unaware. r» This is a "Manhattan"" sportshirt.
