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.

"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." Sorority Is Downed By Group Sextette ' wo teams advanced to the semi- final rounds in the intramural tour- naments as a result of yesterday's games, the Delta Gamma sorority six winning by de ault from the Alpha (Gamna Delta team while winning the Group I-Chi Omega game 68 to 13 the Group I team came a round near- er the championship crown. The Del- ta Gamma. team is the first to enter 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.

I- - ._ II 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. We h.d1fle exciushiely EMton, Crane & Pike Stationery. See our line.
