News from the Houses

The Lowell House Dance for this year has been scheduled for Friday, March 11, it was announced following a meeting of the House Committee. Direction of the affair has been left with a committee of three: R. C. Scott '32, chairman, Frederick Ireland '33, and W. L. West, Jr. '32. The dance, as last year, will take place in the House Dining Hall, with the House Library and Common Rooms open for use during the evening. This year an effort is being made to encourage residents to hold dinners in their rooms before the dance. Permission to do this may be obtained from the Head Tutor, and the accommodations for food can be secured at moderate rate by consulting the steward of the dining halls. Last year the custom was tried by several residents, and proved successful; residents who are entertaining guests from out of town are in this way enabled to make a few acquaintances before reaching the ball. Arrangements as to the receiving line, ushers, refreshments, and music are still in a formulative stage, but the committee is making an effort to obtain a leading Boston orchestra for the dance. Members of the House will be allowed to invite one couple in addition to their own guest, and in this way only will members of other Houses be admitted to the dance.
