Ray Dickson to Weave Magic’ Spell for Frosh Weaving a mystic web of swing around the 1943 Frosh Glee, Ray “Spider” Dickson and his Collegians featuring “Four Knights and a Dream,” will cast a spell of “Black Magic” on the annual Freshman dance Saturday evening from 9 to 12 in McArthur court. Not to be denied the services of a band that would draw thrill seeking campus folk on the strength of its name, the Frosh Glee committee under the direction of Mart Pond, announc ed Monday that the abilities of Dickson’s Collegians and the “Four Knights and a Dream” had been obtained for this all-campus dance. fFour Knights and a Dream ^or the past few years, bands known country wide have stim ulated dancers attending this early spring dance. Among them were Jan King who furnished the rhythms last year, and the “King of Swing,” Benny Goodman who tantalized the local jive set some two years ago. To obtain an or chestra from such a selected com pany of orchestras this year would be impossible, because of trans portation difficulties, the Glee committee found after days of corresponding. The “Four Knights and a Dream” will help Maestro Dick son entertain Saturday evening when they harmonize on their arrangement of “Black Magic.” The quintet is composed of Char )Me Gething, Eugene “Chick’’ cWchini, Don Bridenstine, Frank Sardam, and Paul Beard.

Matrix Guest Visits Turkey, Peru, Alaska By CAROL GREENING Adventure has been the key note of Lucile Saunders McDon ald's life. Her arrival on the scene is the sparkplug that starts things happening. Mrs. McDonald, guest speaker at the Matrix Table dinner scheduled for April 26 honoring women in literature, music, and the arts, is now fairly peaceably employed by the Seattle Times, but this is the exception in her life rather than the rule. While working for the United Press in South America, she rode nine days on horseback to the lost Inca city of Macchu Pichu in Peru, an unusual feat for any -woman, and unheard of in 1920. Rumors of a pre-historic mon ster drew her to an Andean lake in Patagonia. The alleged Ple siosaurus turned out to be myth ical, but it flashed through the headlines in its day. In Asuncion, Paraguay, she witnessed a minor rebellion fos tered by two local publishers. A New York Times correspondent in Turkey, she covered a Kurd ish revolt in 1931, when no cor respondents were allowed in the war area. In Alaska she edited the Cor dova Daily Times and covered South Central Alaska for the As sociated Press. On one occasion she scooped a story on the first <Please turn to page eight) 'Sing' Participants Will Draw for Order Today All organizations for ail campus sing to be held Junior Weekend will participate in a drawing this afternoon at the Kappa Kappa Gamma house to determine in what order they will sing.

Coeds Plan 5 Cent Nop For April 14 Last chance for many students to enjoy a Nickel Hop is Wed nesday, April 14, from 6:30 to S:30 p.m. with all women's living organizations being open for the affair. "Keep Up the Morale of Your Best Gal," is the slogan for the dance. Men will go to their favor ite houses and spend as many nickels for as many dances as they desire. Den of the Wolves To the men’s house which pur chases the most tickets will go the title of "Den of Wolves” and a money order for $5 with which to purchase favorite phonograph records. Each girl will have as many tickets as there are dances and will give one to each person with whom she dances. Beside the name of the girl and her house written on the ticket, each man will write his name and loving organization on his ticket and turn them into the house at which he collected them. This will elim inate the inconvenience of men having to turn all their tickets in at the Side which was done pre viously. It will also assure that all tickets are collected, since many persons won’t want to be bothered with their disposal. Representatives of Each House Sally Spies and Lois Winsley, co-chairmen of the Hop, are as sisted by the following: Gene Lockman and Betty Lu Siegman, publicity; Ardis Jensen and Kathryn Dunn, prizes; and Aly sone' Hales and Ann Graham, tickets.

Academic or Not It will be decided at the execu tive council meeting this after noon whether to have a class poll list made up from academic rec ords in the registrar’s office, thereby making no distinction be tween “campus juniors,” "cam pus seniors” and actual sopho mores, or to arrange for sonic other system of determining t<; which class each student be longs in terms of number of years on the campus. The consensus opinion at the meeting- Saturday was that the academic system would have to be followed and that poll books would have to- be typed up in the registrar’s office. In this ease each class would have two poll books, one to be held by an In dependent and one by a Greek representative on the voting com mittee for the class. In 'former years class cards made this job easy for the voting committee. Now, unless the aca demic system is followed, there are only two ways left by which to ascertain the; class standing of each student. Alternatives One of these is to hold a timo eating costly registration, as in a government, party-system elec tion, or to take the data needed from the white cards filled out. at registration and filed in tho registrar’s office, the dean of men and the dean of women’s of fice, and the University news bu reau. According to Jack L. Billingu, Emerald editor, it has been ar ranged to use the news bureau files as an indexed "poll book” on election day if the executive council decides to use this plan. The executive council will (Phase turn to page three) ROYAL FLUSH . . . —Thoto by Bill Goldstein . . . for the Junior Weekend are these four princesses and a queen.
