Fraternity Booth
Reservations Open
At Student Union
Reservations for 43 fraternity
booths for, .'Junior-Senior : Ball will
go on sale today at $5 at Student
Union’desk ; in Old-Main, accord
ing to Ann Eisher, chairman of the
booth.committee for-the dance.
: The committee has. decided that
all fraternities will, use regular
folding chairs supplied by the
committee instead of house furni
ture, as has been used at the big
dances in the past.
This rule has been made so that
the fraternities that have been
forced to evacuate their houses
will be on an equal standing with
the- fraternities* still, residing in
their houses. j
Reservations for the booths will
close at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, April
6, Miss Fisher stated.
Featured' at this year’s Junior-
Senior Ball will ‘be the dance mu-r
sic of Jimmie Lunceford, one of
the nation’s best-liked orchestras.
Lunceford has been leading his
band for well over ten years and
is one of the most established
bands in the business. Lunceford
is noted for his slow music as well
as swing.

OF THE PENN SYLVAN LA. STATE COLLEGE
Dairy School Prof
Discovers New Process
Bor 'Frozen Milk'
. Don’t -be surprised if the grocer
asks you’, “Any frozen -milk to
day?”.
A new method of milk preserva
tion is now 'being developed at the
College dairy by Joseph G. Leeder,
graduate . student,. and Professor
Francis Jr Doan, dairy manufac
turing specialist, which may make
it.possible for housewives and in
dustries to buy frozen, concen-.
trated milk just as they now buy
frozen meats and vegetables.
The milk may be kept in. the
freezing compartment of the re
frigerator and reconstituted for ta
ble 'or cooking use by adding -hot
water. One pint of frozen milk
makes approximately three pints
of liquid milk. When cooled again,
the milk looks and tastes very
much like fresh, whole milk.
Frozen milk takes up less trans
portation and storage space. Un
der present curtailed deliveries of
fresh milk, frozen milk will aid in
providing the consumer with an
adequate supply until the milkman
calls again. It will keep as long as
two or three weeks.
Using the principle of ice cream
manufacturing, the milk is rapidly
frozen-in an ice cream freezer,
after being .pasteurized, concen-/
trated,\ and homogenized. The
amount of air whipped into the
milk is considerably less than in
ice cream, but what air there is
aids in‘the ; defrosting-process. :
