Hill To Go Vice Versa ★★★ ★★★ Femme Stagline
Conversation overheard in the Union fountain:
First boy: "Are you going to the Jay Jane Vice Versa dance?" Second boy: "No, darn it. No girl's asked me yet."
First boy: "Well, get on the beam, brother. Exude a little personality. You'll sure feel left out if you don't get a date. And the gals pay for it, too."
Similar one-minute dramas have been enacted over the campus frequently during the last two weeks. Everyone's talking about it and everyone's going to do it—that is, the girls are, and the boys, too, if they're dated.
The Jay Janes Vice Versa dance will be held in the Union ballroom from 9 to 12 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 1.
Clayton Harbur's band will play for the dancing, to which only women may come stag, and for the coronation of the Pep King.
The Pep King will be elected by the ballots attached to the tickets from the following group of candidates: John Conard, T. P. Hunter, Roy Edwards, Ed Linquist, and Jim Boyd.
Tickets costing 50 cents plus tax stag, and 75 cents plus tax date, may be purchased from any Jay Jane.
The proceeds from the dance will go for the Jay Jane scholarship fund.

Union To Negotiate Ways To Oklahoma
Nearly 350 tickets have now been sold to the Freshman Frolic, Jim Burdge, dance manager, revealed today.

Are you going to that out-of-town game? If you need transportation or have the means of transportation and want to make your trips bring dividends, just leave your name and full particulars in the Student Union Activities office in the sub-basement of the Memorial Union building.
This special travel service is being worked out under the supervision of Frank Arnold especially for the Oklahoma-Kansas game this Saturday.
Spivak Sales Are Fast
If you want to go to Norman for the game and need transportation. submit your name in the Union Activities office. If you are planning to drive to the game and want to take paying passengers, report your name, number of students you can carry, and when you are leaving, and the travel bureau, sponsored by the Student Union Activities office will act as a go-between. Sign up now personally or call K.U. 77. so that full arrangements can be made.
But the biggest kick Spivak gets out of life is listening to the "bright sayings" of his six-year-old son, Joel, and repeating them to the boys in the band. Joel is his dad's severest critic and Spivak claims his musical knowledge is amazing. "Name" bandleaders respect the youngster's judgment of their efforts.
The Frolic will present Charlie Spivak and his band, the band voted by schools, colleges, and campuses to be "the fastest rising band of 1941."
The 150-pound maestro is "crazy" about sports, favoring baseball—but regrets that he finds little time for any outside activities.
At the end of August Spivak's band left the Glen Island Casino where it broke attendance records that even the biggest bands playing there could not crack. In compliance with evermounting demands for personal appearances, the crew took to the road.
Last Saturday Spivak played for Purdue's Homecoming Dance.
The Daily News stated that Spivak's band was selected because "it is young, on its wya up, and appealing to devotee's of both sweet and swing."
