LOVERING DISCUSSES
PLAN1S FOR BUILDING
League Building Will Excell Mihiigan
Union Says Contractor; Paneled
Dining Room To Be Feiture
WILL START NORTH WING
"The new Women's league build-
ing should excel the Michigan Union
building, in my estimation, and the
Union building is considered by au-
thorittes to be one of the finest of
its type in the country," was the ex-
pression of H. D. Lovering, of Lov-
ering and Longbotham, general con-
tractors for the new Women's league
butilding.
This remark brought the request for
any special features in the design of
the building which he considered es-
pecially attractive.
"The second floor dining room is
an exquisite bit of design," Lover-
ing pointed out. "The room will be
paneled to the ceiling. No plaster
"will show on the walls except over
the doors which are to be set in
archways. The ceilings will be of
plaster and will be beamed.
"The assembly room also is a
splendid feature. It is, as you no
doubt know, to be two stories high,
and it also will be paneled to the
height of the first floor. The women's
lounge, and the men's and women's
lounge1also are two stories high and
are to have beautiful fireplaces. The
corridors on the first and second
floors will be somewhat like those
of the Union building, with the pan-
eling."
"When the north wing is com-
pleted, the chapel in that section will
also be notable." The plans for this
section are drawn up. At the time
o the letting of the contract it was
'not planned to constructrthe north
wing for som'e time until sufficient
money could be raised to warrant
the project. The bid made however,
was agreeable so that the shell of
the building could be built now and
the interior finished later. It is for
'this purpose that the present cam-
paign of the Woniien's league is be-
ing carried on. "And we are sure
,that it will not be long before the
north wing can be completed," Lov-
ering added.
"The material -for the interior ofj
the building is coming from all over
the United States, as are the working
men, and we hope to have the build-
ing completed, that is with just the
shell of the north wing, by February
of 1929. The build-ing will face In-
galls street, with the south wing on
North University avenue, and Ingalls
will be widened to make a continua-
tion of the mall by the Natural
Science building," was Lovering's
conclusion.

SPORTS T S
Dily Bulletin of Sportswomen
WOMEN ABROAD HAVE LESS FREEDOM
IN SPORTS THAN HERE, SAYS TUSCAN
"Women's snorts abroad are far1
behind those of the women in thisc
country," was the statement of Be-i
Ia Tuscan, coach of the men's Var-
sity team. "Women do not have theE
freedom to go ahead in the field of
sports that they have here. By Eur-r
ope, I refer to Central Europe alone,(
particularly Austria, Hungary, France,
and Germany, and I do not include
England, as I do not know about the
conditions there." Tuscan was
brought up in Budapest, Hungary,1
and attended the Royal Military Aca-i
demy where he was sabre champion.t
This academy is not what we would
call an academy, but the highest uni-
versity in the country, and is equiva-
lent to either West Point or Annapo-
lis in this country.
"I would say that tennis is the(
dom-inating sport for women abroad,"
he continued, "for tennis and swim-l
ming are the only fields in which wo-
men come into competition in thel
athletic field. The fact that the ten-
nis champion, Suzanne Lenglen, is
from France proves the interest on
the continent in this sport.''
"Skating is probably the next mostj
popular sport," he continued. "Over
there they make of it an important
social event, and have places spec-
ially constructed for it, big military
bands play for the couples, and man
in uniforms and gaily dressed wo-t
men skate to the music. Society meets
there, and this fact makes the sport
of skating very popular."t
"Swimming is also well liked byt
the European woman, but this is
again because she always keens in
mind the social activiti. s She J a-
Europe that I fenced with the Vi-
comtess de Lapre, the first woman to
make me stand on my heels in foil
work. S'he did not win, but she was
extremely fast and quick."
"I have been the unprofessional
coach in two universities in this
country, and I have found American
women very enthusiastic about fenc-
ing, but they haven't proper coaches.
When I was coaching the men in
Syracuse university, I received from
15 to 20 calls a day from women ask-
ing me to teach them fencing. Al-
though it is almost unknown in this
country, I believe foil fencing to be
the most ideal sport for girls. It is
delicateb ut hard work, and the mind
and the eyes are absolutely tied
down. It is necessary to develop sub-
conscious concentration, to learn to
act before one has time to think. I
have found that women make good
drivers, and that they improve rapid-
ly."

Freshman Basketball
TournamentPlanned
At Meeting Of Heads
At a meeting early in the week at
Barbour gymnasium, freshmen group
capains were assembled to discuss1
the plans for the coming freshmand
basketball tournament. The new
manager of freshman athletics, Doris
Renkenbarger, E3pec. Ed., rinformnvd
the captains of the intended plans for t
conducting future tournaments. "It
will be conducted through the fresh-g
man groups," she said, "in a fashion
similar to the volley ball .tourna-t
ment and the swimming meet."
"We want the freshmen to play in
their groups," Miss Annis Hall, the
physical education instructor, stated,l
during her talk to the captains, "be-t
cause next year you will have thel
chance to play with your houses, and1
now is the time to learn all there
is to know about the game. Don't
forget that group cooperation andt
,eain work is important. The essen-
tial thing is to learn the game andt
thus gain experience for next year's
playing." This is especially an op-
portunity for those women who do
not know how to play the game. This
is the tiine to come out and learn.
The fact that the women know more
about basketball than volley ball andj
are therefore more interested in it,
will make it much easier for the cap-
tains to organize a team out of their
groups. Also a smaller number is re-
quired for a' team in basketball than
in volley ball, so it is to be hoped that
all of the groups can arrange to have
teams out, and that little combining
of groups will be necessary.
The games will be played Monday
and Wednesday at 5 o'clock and Fri-
day at 4 and 5 o'clock., but exactly
how much of this time will be left,
for this tournament depends on the
number of teams the captains can
net out. There will be no practic-
ing whatever; some of the teams
opening play next Monday.

OPEN ROAD ITINERARY
One of the most outstanding privi-
leges enjoyed in the Open Road stu-
dent tours is a visit to the League of
Nations headquarters at Geneva,
Switzerland, according to Miss Bea-
trice Johnson ,adviser to women, who
was a member of one of the student
groups several years ago. Here the
students of all nations listen to in-
ternational specialists who speak on
various subjects of universal inter-
est. After each talk, .an opportunity
for discussion and group contribi-
tion of relevant information is af-
forded. Thus a great deal can be
learned in the course of a few short
hours.
"In these days when the United
S1tates needs. to become a more i -
tegral part of the world, and assume
some formal responsibility in inter-
nationalism, it behooves every intel-
ligent person in this country to know
what the League of Nations means,
whether he or she is for or against
it, and why," Miss Johnson stated, in
commenting on the value of the tours.
"Not many college students realize
that the peace activities of the Lea-
gue'are only a fraction of its work,
and that most notable atttainments
in the way of international health,
labor aids, epidemiology, and reduc-
tion of traffic in women and children
have been reached."
Reminiscing, Miss Johnson went on
to describe this center of nations. Ge-
neva is a lovely city on the shores of
Lake Leman which is snuggled among
hills and mountains which one may
clim-b or mount by funicular to see
an unsurpassingly beautiful view of
the surrounding country. On a. clear
day, Miss Johnson recalled, Mont
Blanc's snowy and majestic summit
can be seen. A few hours' boat ride
takes one to the romantic and mas-
sive Castle of Chillon.
The Michigan women's tour this
summer will be headed by Miss Mary
Lytell, director of Betsy Barbour dor-
mitory. Applications for a place in
the group of ten who will be chosen
should be made before April 20 to
either Miss Lytell or Phyllis Rich-
ards, '28, chairman of the travel coim-
mittee.
DECLARES YOUTH
JUDGES UNFAIRLY
"It is a commonplace of his-
tory that any age is exceedingly crit-
ical of and somewhat unfair to the
age just preceding it," states Pro-
fessor SolomontGingericliof the Eng-
lish despartment. "It is like a youth
when he first becomes 'knowing' and
criticizes not his grandparents but
his parents, their ways and their
ideas. Later, when he suffers hard
knocks and sorrow, he discovers that
his parents after all were not so
bad _but were pretty solid in fun-
damentals," continued Professor Gin-
gerich.
So, Professor Gingerich believes
that each age must revise its views
of the age preceding. Some ten years
ago and about the time Amy Lowell's
impressiveness and influence was at
its -height, mid-Victorianism came in
for its severest condemnation. , It
was criticized for its sentimentality,
its artificiality, repression, smugness
and various other things. One would
judge from the current criticism that
nothing good could possibly have
come out of the Victorians.
"Yet this age," continues Professor
Gingerich, "produced Browning, Car-
lyle, Tennyson, Matthew Arnold,
Swinburne, George Meredith, and
Hawthorne and Emerson in America
who lived contemporaneously with
the Victorians." Professor Gingerich
believes that these men with all their
supposed repressions and smugness,
interpreted life far more profoundly
and humanly than Amy Lowell and
most of her and our own contempor-
aries. "On the whole," he states in
his conclusion, "we must strive to
gain a better perspective than that of
prejudice to view the Victorian
aright, and surely we cannot af-
ford to throw stones and thereby en-
danger our own glass houses over
our heads."
of the School of Architecture.
The winning poster, which will ap-
pear on the cover of the program,
as well as an "advertising medium' in
the various store windows about the
campus, is compiled in black, blue,
and red on a white background. Miss
Gentz makes use of modern light and
dark effects and uneven lettering to
give her poster an unusually distinc-
tive air. The use of shafts of light,
which is proving so successful in
recent commercial advertising, and
the clever arrangement of the play
title "For the Love of Pete" gives to
the poster a touch which can best be
expressed by the term "modernistic."
The actual subject matter of the
poster will not as yet be made pub-
lic, according to Betty Smithers, the
chairman of the program committee.
URGES GRADUATES
TO KEEP UP WORK
Continuance of education for wo-
men is the most modern trend, in that
part of the educational world that
concerns women, according to Miss
Ellen F. Pendleton, president of Wel-
lesley college. This trend was em -
phasized at the biennial conference
of the North Atlantic section of the
American Association of University
woren, of which Miss Pendleton is
the president.
Dr. Lois Hayden Meek, educational
secretary of the organization, said
that adult education, formerly con-
cerned with those people who did not
have a college education, is now con-
cerned with those who have.

APPROPRIATENESS IN THE
SELECTION OF STATIONERY
Good taste dictates the use of different kinds of
stationery for the different needs of the modern
household. The custom of the smart home is
always to have available three kinds of writing
paper.
For everyday correspondence one requires a
good note paper with easy writing surface.
For the man, a generous size flat sheet, which
is also available for miscellaneous purposes-
many people today keep a portable typewriter
in their homes.
For very best, Crane's, recognized by people of
refinement for more than a century as the finest
of all writing papers.
