While army men across the Atlantic get headaches over war movements, the University R. O.T.C. men will forget about strategy and don full dress for the spring formal to be held in the ballroom of the Memorial Union from 8:45 until 12 tonight with Clyde Bysom's band providing the music.

Several times a day, flex your hands. Do it at lunch, do it in those many moments of brief inactivity in a day. Open both hands. Spread the fingers and stretch them. You can feel the little muscles tug. New close them to make them a tight fist. Open and stretch, close and elinch. You'll feel it all the way to your elbow, and when you go back to gripping a pencil or pounding a
Most people watch Fred Astaire's feet. The next time you see him, watch his hands. They are as flexible and expressive, in their way, as those wonderful legs and feet and, without the spectators' conscious knowledge, are responsible for Astaire's complete grace in motion.
Since people use their hands as a part of almost every expression—grief, anger, joy, explanation—those ten fingers and two palms ought to be graceful. And they ought to be strong and limber.

refreshed.
If you are aware of stiff, awkward gestures, it is a sign that you need more exercises. Try these two. First, the "newspaper crumble." Take an entire newspaper page in one hand and crumble it into a ball, without using the other hand. You'll see how each finger goes to work, and you'll discover how lazy and inactive some of those fingers have been. The second exercise is the "rubber-band hand-cuff." Put an elastic band over your little finger. Twist it over to look like a figure 8 and loop the other end over the index finger or thumb. Now work it off without using your other hand. These exercises will make your hands far more limber, and graceful.
