'OF MICE---NO MEN' NEEDS  MICE, MEN; IF EITHER, APPLY! By GLORIA TERESI The manhunt is on! Intrepid scouts  from the Revelries cast  are  searching everywhere from the light-well in the Science building to the dome of the Student Union for the male of the species. Petitions for the offices must be signed and turned in by 4 o'clock The cause of this frantic search? Friday. Application blanks can be obtained from the Business  Office. DRAFT. Sherman Thomas, cast VETS INITIATE FORMER WAVE  Lois Eilithorpe, former WAVE storekeeper, was officially initiated as a charter member of the on -campus veterans' organization at their Tuesday night meeting.  Miss  Ellithorpe is the first  wo-man member  of the group.  The year's activities, which  will  include a men's fashion  show some-time in the near future,  were topics of discussion. All veterans on campus are in-vited  to attend  the regular Tues-day night meetings  at 7 o'clock in the Varsity House. San Jose State Basketball Team Meets San Francisco State  Squad Tonight In Kezar Pavilion At 8 O'clock Well, tonight's the night. Coach Bill Hubbard's  Spartan hoop-sters invade the San  Francisco State Kezar Pavilion in an attempt to defeat  the "Staters" in the first of a two -game series. The 4:25 Southern  Pacific train out of San Jose  will carry many of the  enthusiastic Spartan sup-porters to San Francisco.  The  Rally committee  is planning  lots of action  and spirit on the way to San Francisco  as well as during the game itself. Not too much is known  about the S.F.S. team; however, in past encounters, Patrick, Unway,  and Diggins have been the scoring threats.  A few weeks  back they were defeated by their  cross-town rivals, 'San Francisco Junior col-lege,  by a close  margin. We look for Don McCaslin and  Ernie  Cartwright to carry the of-fensive burden for Sparta.  Cart-wright looked impressive in Tues-day night's game when he tallied 13 points  to take high  point  honors for S.J.S. Jack Marcipan, Charlie Laser,  and Bill  McFarlane will round out the starting five for the Spartans. Tonight may  be Don McCarlin's last appearance with the team, for he is subject to military  call in the very near  future. However, he is scheduled to play against the Globe Trotters on Saturday night  at the  Chic auditorium, a game that will  be well worth  seeing. Students who  plan to make the trip will wear white blouses  or sweaters for the rooting section  to be organized at the game. FORMER STUDENT,  NOW WAVE  ENSIGN,  WILL  SPEAK TODAY  Winifred Rice, former SJS stu-dent and at present an ensign in the WAVES, will speak before to-day's senior orientation group  at 12:30 o'clock in the  Little  Thea-ter. Ensign  Rice will talk on the re-quirements for entrance into the women's  branch of the Navy, and will discuss the various positions  open to women in the service. According to Jeanne Arrant',  who is in charge of the program, Ensign Rice's speech promises to he both Interesting and educa-tional.  "Many of our  class mem-bers who graduate this June will want to join some branch of the service, and it Is to their advan-tage to know exactly what is available  for them In the different services. Here  is your chance to understand at first  hand life in the  WAVES." Marilynn Wilson, senior class president, reminds fourth  - year  students that the meetings are compulsory and begin  at 12:30 o'clock sharp.  Those not arriving on time will be marked  absent. Those planning to run for Junior Court justices must be junior class members at the time of the elec-tion, members of the student body in good standing, and regular stu-dents.  The requirements apply to freshman  candidates for ASB council representatives except that they must have first-year  standing. Marge Howell, student body vice president,  urges freshmen to come to the nomination assembly  and start  their college careers right by becoming acquainted with  student affairs  and personalities. Juniors, seniors, and sophomores  are also expected to attend. Council representatives serve on the main governing body of the college as representatives  of their classes, Therefore, the position of representative links class govern-ment with that of the entire col-lege. Justices on the Student Court see that the constitution is revised when action calls for it, and prosecutes offenders of it. Class elections will be held Feb-ruary 9, and nominations will be made in the regular preceding weekly  meetings. For the  sopho-mores and juniors the meetings will  be held next Tuesday while the seniors will nominate at their orientation meeting Thursday, February 8. Qualifications for class offices are the same as those  for student  body positions.  In words  of one syllable, the as the  lead  in the aptly-titled  Revelries skit, "Of Mice  No Men,"  has gone the way of all men  into the service. Now, a suitable male student to replace him in the skit is being sought by Revelries officials.  "If you are  five feet ten inches  tall or over,  smooth,  suave, sophisti-cated,  and/or a man, apply at once!" pleads Marian  Jacobson, director of the production, If coaxing or threatening do not bring  results, Miss Jacobson  holds as her trump  card, bribery. "The  fellow  who plays  the lead in the skit  has the pleasurable task of soundly kissing several  extreme-ly attractive girls. In fact, we might even go so far as to in-crease the number  of rehearsals," she promised  solemnly, placing her right  hand on the Revelries skit, and her left on the barrel  of a twenty-two. Men students eager to volunteer for this noble cause can make the  sacrifice by contacting Marian Jacobson, or by leaving a note In the "R" box  in the Co-op or in the Speech office. Dinner Cancelled The college USO dinner sched-Wed for tonight has been can-celled, according to Mary Alyce Whiting, chairman of the affair. The USO dance in the Student Union will be held as usual.

Ballet Expert Discusses Trends Of The Dance In America By MARGARET  MOORE  Speaking in behalf of the Rus-sian Ballet, which will  present a program next Monday  evening, February 4, at the Civic  audi-torium, Irving Deakin, author,  lecturer,  and member of the com-pany gave  an "Informal  chat"  on the subject  of the dance  and the trends it has taken in the  Ameri-can theater. Deakin's  talk took place in the Little Theater yester-day at 3:00 o'clock. Determined not to treat  the subject "historically or profound-ly," Deakin  expressed danger "over-glamorizing"  any of the arts. From the beginning of so-ciety, the  dance has been  the chief form of self-expression, over all other forms of art, he explained. To illustrate the importance of dance in the entertainment world  today, Mr. Deakin mentioned the ballet as it figures In the pro-ductions of "Oklahoma" and "Bloomer Girl," well - known Broadway successes. With the choreography for these produc-tions as developed by Agnes De -Mille as an example, he pointed out that the "theater dance" of today is not a true ballet  in that more free forms of dance are In-cluded, among  these, modern dance. "Fancy Free,"  one of the latest ballets and new to the  audiences of San Jose, was  described by Mr. Deakin, who drew attention to the fact that in this performance  by a Russian ballet company here is no "toe" technique used,  and the free  forms are  prominent-ly featured. Developed  by three young men,  "Fancy Free" is a story In dance  of three sailors on shore leave. The scene is set on a street cor-ner and in a "little beer  saloon  with a Juke box."  Only six dancers are needed to tell the story but the full cast includes from 50 to 75 artists. Leonard Bernstein wrote  the music and the choreography and  simple story were originated by Jerome Robbins. Oliver Smith de-vised the set used in the pro-duction. In keeping with the timeliness of the  theme, the music begins with an elaboration upon the familiar boogie beat. Mr. Deakin feels that it is a healthy sign for a nation to look to the  safety and preservation of its culture and the artists who express it. Citing  Russia  and Eng-land, he described how the Rus-sian artists are given  priority for  transportation  over foreign news correspondents and  noted  that dancers in England are returned to their companies after Induction Into the service. Despite the American man's "aversion to dance as being sissy." Deakin feels that since dance is becoming an important part of education  in the schools and morc men are entering the field, then. is reason to admit that "dance n a very  potent  force in America today."
