There will be no Scotch Varsity in the Memorial Union ballroom tomorrow night, Keith Spalding, chairman of the Student Union Activities board announced today.

All amounts over $25 derived from the sale of the calendars will automatically go into a University calendar fund which will be maintained from year to year to cover possible deficits on subsequent issues.
The only duty of the calendar board will be to appoint the manager. The latter must submit a budget to the MSC each year for approval before any contracts are let, and after publication he must make a report to the Council of the total receipts and expenditures.
The manager, who must be a male student of the University, will be chosen each spring for the succeeding year by a University Calendar board. This board is to be appointed by the Men's Student Council, and will consist of three members of the Council, chairman-of the Statewide Activities Commission or his representative and one faculty member.
Board to Pick Manager
The calendar for 1942 was financed by the University Reserve fund, on condition that it not be asked to do it again. The price was 15 cents.
