The Lanz clothiers are the designers and creators for movie stars, and their creations are recognized by leading models. The •'surprise" will be on display In the Student Union.
Prominent at the dance will be two songs, "Clock on the Walls” and “Bolt from the Blue," which were written for the varsity show but gained such popularity that they will be played over the National Broadcasting company’s red network on Friday, according to the chairman of the event. Pendarvis and his orchestra will be on the air from 11:30 p.m. to midnight. Bing Crosby, crooner, has agreed to sing the songs as soon as they have been published,

Dover Road' Opens Run In Touchstone Tomorrow
By Kay Cogswell
With one dress-rehearsal remaining before the finished presentation of “Dover Road” on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings in Touchstone theater, cast-members will be put through their final practice tonight by Dr. Virginia Roediger, temporary supervising director of the S.C. play produc-
tions department.
The play concerns the character, Mr. Latimer, a wealthy, middle-aged man, who has the curious hobby of retaining eloping couples at his home on the Dover road to prevent them from making unhappy marriages.
COMPLICATIONS ENSUE
The plot centers around the situations that arise when Leonard and Anne, who are running away from Leonard’s wife, Eustasia, come to Mr. Latimer's house, to find that Eustasia is already there with Nicholas. During the week which the couples are in the house many amusing and absurd situations arise.
The cast is headed by Henry Cross, a graduate from the University of British Columbia. He has participated in many plays and should be especially well suited for the part of Mr. Latimer, an Englishman, because of his natural English accent, according to Dr. Roediger.
TAFFEL PLAV8 HEROINE
The feminine lead is carried by Bess Taffel, who plays the part of Anne. She is a graduate student in the S.C. School of Speech and has made a wide study of past and current dramatic productions.

Lithuania To Give Up Memel
Germany Prepares To Annex Memelland In New Expansion
KOVNO, Lithuania, March 21— (URl—Lithuania tonight prepared to surrender semi-autonoi„ous Memel to Germany after receiving an implied ultimatum from Fuehrer Adolf Hitler promising trade advantages if the 1100-square-mile Baltic strip is given up "peacefully and amicably."
It was understood that the government already had agreed to give Memel to Germany, from which lt was separated by the treaty of Versailles after the World war.
The government of President An-tanas Smetona announced ln a com-muMque shortly before midnight that Hitler's demands for return of Memel to the Reich were served upon Foreign Minister Juozas Ur-Bsys when he conferred in Berlin Monday with Nazi Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop.
LITHUANIA DISSATISFIED
The Urbsys-Ribbentrop conversations were described as having been “rather unsatisfactory to the Lithuanian government.”
The communique said the govern ment was faced with the necessity of makfng a grave decision and could not act hastily.
Ribbentrop was said to have based Germany's demand for Memel on “the right of self-determination” of the 152,000 residents of Memelland, at least 1250,000 of whom are Germans.
The same Justification was given for the Nazi absorption of Austria and the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia last year.
The communique said Ribbentrop also complained that the moral of Memel’* population was at low ebb because of complaints that Lithuania was failing to carry out her autonomy promises.
In exchange for Memel, Hitler was said to have promised Lithuania far-reaching Nazi trade concessions and the right to use the Baltic port of Memel.
The government announced in a communique that Germany had formally "demanded” the surrender of Memel and its incorporation ln the greater Reich,
DEMAND RECEIVED
The demand was submitted by Nazi Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop to the Lithuanian foreign minister ln Berlin Tuesday, the announcement said.
“Germany will be generously considerate of Lithuanian economic interests” lf Memel ls surrendered "peacefully and amicably,” Ribbentrop said.
Thus the German demand was interpreted by some observers as an implied ultimatum.

By Alex Traffey
Once again a master artist ln fraternity-soi ority burglary invaded the S. C. campus.
Yesterday he collected $25 at the expense of Phl Mu sorority when he forced hts way into the house, 801 West 28th street, during the early morning hours, extracted cash from ♦ purses lying on dresser tops, and successfully stole away, as did hia colleagues, Sorority Sam, West Adams Willie, and Fratemity Freddie. who have made similar gains during the past two semesters.
DOORS FOUND OPEN Mrs. Laura Staats, housemother, told police that the thief must have entered between 4:30 and 7:30 a.m. She also testified that both front and patio doors, which had been locked the night before, were found open ln thc morning.
In his hurry to make good the escape, the thief overlooked a Jade necklace valued at $1000 lying In an open suitcase, and a number of valuable fur coats hanging ln the girls’ closets.
THIEF BELIEVED NEWCOMER Hazel Hartzog. Irma Caron, Sally Baggart, Dorothy Gentry, Cecilia Dickason, Marlon Pletke, and Zuma Palmer lost various sums of money together with checks, keys, and cards. The latter girl lost the largest sum of $6. Thc burglary was unique ln the fact that dresser drawers were unopened, which led Investigators to suspect that a newcomer had entered the hlghly-pro-fltable local field.
Less than three weeks ago Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, located in the same fratemtty row, was victim* ized to the extent of (ISO, while Delta Zeta, Kappa Alpha Theta, Gamma Phl Beta, and Alpha Delta Pi sororities have also been burglarized ln rapid succession.
Yesterday's newest addition to the crime wave ls expected to fan tha fire in the recent reform movement adopted by various student body office candidates to safeguard the highly vulnerable fratemity row.
