THEY KNOW NOTT-TNN(
Courting the co-eds
In 1943, freshmen men didn't have
much to fear when it came to courting
the opposite sex - that is, if they still
had their trusty copy of Michigane-
tiquette safely tucked into their back
pocket. The little booklet, published
by and for male University students,
comparable to Emily Post's Etiquette,
was designed to direct men on a
smooth path to utter romance and to
teach them fine manners with which
to woo their co-eds.
An article published inthe Febru-
aryissue of Michigan Today described
the ins and outs of the booklet.
During the time of the handbook's
publication, the Union's Coke Bar,
open from 4 to 5:45 p.m., was the top
destination for a first date. A "Coke
Date" usually entailed getting to know
one another over aglass of soda. Ladies
drank free of charge and men dropped
a dime fortheir bubbly drink.
Upon the date's end, men escorted
womenthrough the alternate entrance
on the side of the Union, as women
weren't officially allowed to roam the
buildingunaccompanied until 1968.
"Remember to escort your girl
through the side door, for there is an
old Michigan tradition that the front
door of the Union is for men only,' the
pamphlet read. "It may be that the
gallantry of the Michigan man will
not permit him to allow his fair lady
to enter an uncanopied doorway."
Other passages coached a strapping
young "fellow" on the proper way to
cut in between another couple during
a mixer. And ifa lad wished to know
a girl's phone number and address, the
booklet advised forthright question-
ing - "there willbe no frowning if he
simply asks her."
The Michiganetiquette included
advice of sorts, and taught men to
mind the strict visitation rules to the
women's dorms. There are even ref-

erences made to the "art of walking
with a girl."
"You must not walk too fast, and
you must not be oblivious to the
things going on around you while
keeping up a stimulating conversa-
tion with her," the book read.
Women no longer needed the latest
issue of Cosmo since they could also
flip through guide and learn a thing
r two about the male perspective on
topics like smoking and the "giving of
favors."
Smoking, according to the male
authors, would not increase a wom-
an's attractiveness and "may actually
nake [her] look cheap."
A goodnight kiss, alluded to as a
'favor" in the text, isn't a guarantee.
"If a boy asks you when you are
going to grow up and act like a college
girl because you won't kiss him good
night, ignore him."
