A dance, free movies, tagging of

chase are the feature attractions of
Sadie Hawkins day this Friday.
Requirement  for admission  to
the annual  Sadie Hawkins Day
dance in the gymnasium is Dogpatch attire, and prizes will be
awarded those wearing the best
costumes. In addition to dancing,
a mock wedding will take place,
with   Dr.   Gerald   Poor,   officiating as Marryin' Sam." Dr. John
Hepler, associate professor of English, will be the mayor of Dogpatch. The bride and groom are
to be selected at a later date.

dance, two hay wagons will take

the regular feature, showing of an
old-time flicker has been promised
by the theater management.

Tagging has replaced the original
chase as the method by which the
women will claim their dates. Tags
will indicate that the man wearing one has been claimed by the
woman whose name it bears. Girls
will  receive   tags   tomorrow  night
in their respective dormitories. Off-
campus girls may secure tags in a
booth  in  the  first-floor  foyer  of
Warriner hall.
Salome, a pig who will be greased for the affair, will be turned
loose on Alumni field at 4 p.m.
for a pig chase. Everyone, including Mt. Pleasant residents and
faculty members, is invited to
participate in the chase.

DePaui Chorus
Next Artists
The de Paur Infantry chorus, now
making its initial civilian concert
tour after five years in the United
States Army, was born in off-duty
hours in a sprawling New Jersey
.training camp by a group' of Negro
soldiers who liked to sing
During   working   hours   these
men were expert riflemen, cano- *
neers, cooks,   drivers,   chaplain's
assistants, medical aides and office clerks. At night they met in
mess halls, chapels or wherever       _,
else they could to   rehearse the
. songs they have since made famous. This was the origin of the
chorus that is to present a concert
in the college auditorium the evening of November 17 at 8:15 pjtn.
THE AVERAGE MEMBER of the
chorus is 29 and a bachelor. He
went into the Army from Boston,,
but was born in New York City and.
was a crack rifleman in the Infan-   "*■
try.  Twenty  members*are  college
graduates. Four are taking advanced-
courses at Columbia, two at the
Juilliard School of Music and one
at City College.
*   *   *
Though the members are principally entertainers, they were far
from being non-combatants during
the recent war. Clarence Jacobs,.
assistant to Mr. de Paur, won five
battle stars for service at Guadalcanal and the Solomons.
Herbert Hayes was cited for de-
termining a newf firing system for ,
cannon that the Army   adopted.
Grady  Menefield was in a   tank
destroyer outfit.
"HAVING SUNG TOGETHER so
many times," their press agent
says, "the de Paur chorus has the '
electric precision of attack, the in* *
stinctive blending of voices and the
sure control of dynamics which can
only be developed through multiplicity of performance,"
