Tickets at Door or Student Union By MARY LEE LAUFFER friend suggested to Jack that he audition her. He did. Early in November Jack called her and asked her to sing with him at a dance at Delta Theta Sigma. She’s been appearing with his orchestra about once a week since then. Fran will sing again tomorrow with his orchestra at the Sweet heart Dance sponsored by the Women’s Recreation Association from 9 p.m. to midnight in White Hall. Tickets for the traditional semi formal are on sale for $1.75 per couple at the Student Union desk in Old Main.

She’ll sing “Nearness of You,” “What Is This Thing Called Love,” and “Slowly.” Her second appearance with Jack’s orchestra was the Junior Prom Nov. 6 when Ralph Flana gan couldn’t make it. “I was petrified when I thought about singing in front of those thousands of people,” she said, “but once I started singing every thing was fine. I think I’m more afraid of singing for a few people now than I am when I sing for a large crowd.” In high school Fran was a mem ber .of the A Capella Choir for four years. However, she did no solo work until her senior year when she sang the role of Carman. She said she never sang with a dance band except when she filled in at the piano. She’s been playing the piano since she was three years old. Although she sings popular .music, Fran likes all kinds of music—from opera to jazz. The vocalist commented that until she had her tonsils removed at Christmas vacation, she was a soprano. Now she says she has a lower range, like that of June Christy’s. Fran said she didn’t intend to do any professional singing. She said, “You have to be really special. to get into entertainment work.” Instead of singing she wants to go into government work, pre ferably foreign service. She is ma joring in languages and will prob ably specialize in German.
