'Y, MARCH 15, 1928 THE MICHIGAN DAILY * llmmmvAvAm u AM% 1) * i , r SENIORS TO APPEAR IN CAPS AND GOWNS To Hold Annual Supper Preceding Opening Performance Of Junior Play HONOR GUARDS SELECTED Appearing in their caps and gowns for the first time, senior women will hold their annual Senior Supper at 6:30 o'clock Monday at the Union, preceding the opening performance of the Junior Girls' Play, "For The Love Of Pete," which they will at- tend following the supper. According to tradition this initial presentation of the play is dedicated to senior women. Originally the play was presented before them alone but in recent years it has been opened to the general public. The evening is enlivened by impromptu seletions from last year's play, presented by former participants. Special tables will be reserved at the supper for Senior Society, Mor- larboard Society, and the Advisers to Women. The advisers will be the guests of honor of the senior class. No definite program has been plan- ned for the supper, according to Mar- garet Meyer, vice president of the senior literary class, and chairman of the affair. Singing will be led by Nellie Hoover and Margaret Cole, who will be remembered as two of ; the male leads in last year's play. Spring flowers will form the decora- tive motif for the supper. s Tickets for the supper are $1.60; they will be on sale from 2 to 5 o'clock today and tomorrow in Bar- bour gymnasium. Immediately fol- lowing the supper, a line of march will be form'ed; this line, will pro- ceed -on State street to Williams, down Williams to Main and then to the theater. The senior line will be led and directed by Junior Honor Guards, a complete list of whom will be announced. Mortarboard Society will head the line, followed by Senior Society, they in turn followed by the seniors of all schools, including the nurses, marching in twos. Both seniors and Junior guards are asked to watch The Daily for further direction as to the march. Miss Meyer has been assisted by Jean McKaig, who has been in charge of the sale of tickets, Alice Fouch, Adele Ewe, Adeline O'Brien, and Alice Felows.

THE CAMPUS MORALIST According to the reports of movie men, people hearing their own voices the first time on the vitaphone general- ly never recognize them. In fact it is quite a while before they can be con- vinced that it really is their own. One man in this new business of "talking movies" said that people would be just as surprised if they were not to see themselves in a mirror for years and then they should sud- denly have the opportunity of behold- ing their images. But we do see ourselves in the mir- ror, and thus are constantly striving to improve our personal appearances. Would that the same thing in the future may happen to our voices. One, might say 'if we could only hear ourselves as others hear us." The improvement many person's might make in their voices after listening to unmusical and often jarring tones is- suing from the vitaphone is an experi- ment worth trying. V.E.V.

Program Is Given To Raise League Pledge The Association of Michigan Wom- en of Royal Oak sponsored a Michi- gan program recently whereby they raised about three fourths of their pledge to the league. The University band wa-s invited to Royal Oak and en- tertained at dinner by a men's group of Michigan alumni. After the dinner, the band gave a concert in the Royal Oak high school auditorium, which was filled to capacity. Three members of the cast of the Junior Girls' play, "From Eight 'Till Eight," produced last year, were also featured on the program. The pro- gram was received enthusiastically, according to a member of the Uni- versity who was present. LONDON.-Maribel Winson, a 16- year-old Boston girl, will represent the United States in the woman's figure skating championship of the world. MOUNT HOLYOKE HA, STRICT CODE IN PAST Compulsory chapel, no dancing, and J no theater-going are among the fea- tures of Mount Holyoke college in 1887, according to some observations recently published. This was about the time of the fiftieth anniversary of the seminary, and many ideas were clung to which had been popular dur- ing the first years of the college's ex- istence. In the period from 1887-1890 not only were there compulsory chapel every morning and prayer at night, church, Bible class, and evening serv- ice on Sundays, and' prayer meeting Friday evening, but each student was required to spend half an hour every morning and evening absolutely alone and presumably engaged in devotional reading and prayer. Also, if she wished to stand well with the faculty, she had to attend prayer meeting every night in the week in some teach- er's room. On Sunday no one was al- lowed to go out of doors except to church, except for half an h'our be- tween 5 and 5:30 o'clock in the after- noon, and then only on one particu- lar lawn. A few girls who danced together in the gymnasium were forbidden to do so when it was found out. During 1889, Booth, Barrett, and Modjeska played "Macbeth" in the city of Hol- yoke four miles away. Some of the girls wanted to make up a party to go to see them, but were told that it could not be thought of. "What would people say if iit got into the papers that Mount Holyoke students had been to the theater." i ! _ S PO RTS ! Daily Bulletin of Sportswomen SENIOR MAJORS Fli Are Pesky In WIN TOURNAMENTr Barbour Gymnasium Michigan Cities Are Well Represented In Student Enrollment The basketball season is over, and already fickle fans are forgetting its past glories and are turning with enthusiasm to baseball. The cham- pionship team which emerged froml the past season's strife, at least in' the realm of class competition, was that of the senior majors. Besides winning all four of its scheduled games, it answered a challenge from the "Non-efficients," faculty and alumnae team, by defeating them. "But we didn't just romp through the tournament to an easy victory," was the emphatic statement of Nellie Hoover, captain of the team. "In fact we fought some very close games, ind-well, twice we won by only 3 points." Practically all of the champions were also members of the junior ma- jor team last year, and all of them have had considerable previous bas- ketball experience. Nellie Hoover, side center and captain of the team, has played on the Varsity team of thej Sargent school of Physical Education,I Marva Hough was a member of the Varsity at Kalamazoo State Teach- ers' college, Sarah Bonine played all through high school and four years here on the campus, and El- eanor Treadwell was on her class team at Sargent. Helen Beaumont and Eunice Child, forwards, are two of the three mem- bers who played together on the ,reshman basketball team, and have continued to do so, off and on, during their entire four years on the cam- Spus. Martha Robinson, guard, com- pletes the triumvirate of the players who have worked together since their freshman days. Mildred Hardy is one of the team's most versatile players, filling the po- sition of center, side center, and for-I ward equally well. Before coming to the University she played for one year on the Varsity team at Detroitl Teachers' college, and was at the same time a member of the Central Nationals, a team organized by the Central Methodist Church, in Detroit, and the holder of the state cham- pionship for five years. It is a singular fact that almost all of the champions took part in the intramural tournament which has just been concluded leaving Group I the undisputed victor. Eleanor Tread- ell played with Group I; Helen Beau- mont with Martha Cook; who were runners-up in the tournament. Mil- dred Hardy played with Betsy Bar- bour and Alpha Xi Delta, Nellie Hoover with Kappa Delta, Martha Robinson with Helen Newberry and Sarah Bonine and Marva Hough with Alpha Omicron Pt. Flies are being swatted right and left, and hundreds are being knock- ed out. The spring weather finds them in droves in Barbour gymnas- ium with the opening of the indoor baseball season. Protectors haveI Dean Gildersleeve Says College Life And Spirit Do Not Exist As Pictured, even been placed upon the windows to prevent them from going through. All precautions have been taken to keep the players from undergoing the same grievances experienced by housewives and the pesky flies, al- ways so dominant in spring. Flies alone are not the only dif- ficulties which the baseball aspirants are trying to overcome. The eager players have uncovered too great a number of fouls getting mixed up in their game. They strike, but still they do not go out. And it is all because of fouls. Plenty of tips have been rolling off the bats, too, and the stars realize that the tips don't get them any place. So they engage in run- ning bases. They get to one base and someone tags them and they go out. Or else they make a bee-line for home. When they hit the plate they become hungry. Then they de- cide they've had enough for one day, and they quit. But-so it is with. women. It is such difficulties that the in- door baseball fans have so far en- countered and the practises have been going on only a few days. The first games of the season's tourna- ment have been sluggish. Errors have been prevalent. The player's arms have not yet warmed upi to powerful swings which will send the ball to left field or to center field. From the mound, no curve balls have been flung; the catchers are still a bit cautious in getting close to the bat; the balls are even a bit dead and still reek with camphor. But the season has just begun. And so early in the year home-runners are not even desired, let alone ex- pected. With the abundance of material which has turned out with hopes of making a team, with a bit of prac- tice, and with the pep shown by the 22 organizations which have signed up for the annual tournament, "it will be a dandy baseball season," ac- cording to those in charge at Bar- bour gymnasium. Mlle. Jeanne de Vesley of France is distinguished as the strongest wo- man in the world. She can lift a 117 pound weight straight up over her head with her right hand. Her height is 5 feet 9 inches, and she weighs 165 pounds. More than 175 Michigan towns, cities, and villages are represented by students at the University, ac- cording to a survey of the student directory for 1927-28. Students from Detroit are the most numerous but Ann Arbor supplies the next great- tirdnumber,and G-rand Rapids is The next state to furnish a higher numneber city representation is OhioI with 42 cities and New York comes' next with 35. Then comes Pennsyl- vania with 26,. Illinois with 25, and Indiana with 24. There is then a jump to Kentucky with 10. Beneath the ten mark are Massa- chusetts with 9, Iowa with 8, and Wisconsin with 7. Texas, Florida, Kansas all have representatives from 6 places and Oklahoma comes next with 5. Colorado, Montana, and Cali- fornia and Connecticut each contri- bute 4 cities and Mississippi, Mis- souri, and South Dakota, and Min nesota, New Jersey, have students from 3 towns. Tennessee, Alabama, Arizona, West Virginia, Georgia and New Mexico furnish their represen- tation from only 2 cities, and Vir- ( ginia, New Mexico, Louisiana; Utah, Maryland, Washington, Nebraska, and 'Maine boast only one city. Washing- ;tcn, D. C. is also represented. India, Panama, Bolivia, Havana, Hawaii Canada, France, England, Porto Rico, San Juan, Italy, China. ;Japan, and Egypt are all represented by some students, although the num- ber is very small and Canada leads. I -_________ NOTICES SENIOR WOMEN Tomorrow is the last day in which senior caps and gowns will be given out by the Women's League. Women may be fitted in Barbour gymnasium from 2 o'clock until 5 o'clock. Seniors must have their caps j and gowns for the senior sup- per which will be held next Monday night at the Union, The entire cast of the Junior Girls' ,Play will rehearse at 7 o'clock to- night in Sarah Caswell Angell hall of Barbour gymnasium.. "Varsity Team Holds Meet ByTelegraph Taking into consideration that a new target was put in -use for the first time last Saturday the Varsity rifle squad showed up very well in its competition shooting with Mich- igan State College. Results from Michigan State have not been receiv- ed in Captain, Bricker's Office to date, due to the fact that the scores are sent by mail. The five high-point scorers on Sat- urday were Rowena Stillman, '28, with 97; Merle Raine, '29, 95; Irene Cook, '29, 93; Maurice Jones, '28L, 91; and Helen Clinton, '30, 90. The other Michigan women who fired for scores on Saturday were Eleanor Coryell, '29, Miriam Hosmer, '28Ed, Eleanor Short, '29, Elsie Hauschild, '29Ed, and Marion Hyslop, '28Ed. I; "I have never ;intimately known a college or a university in a small town. My undergraduate days were spent at Barnard, and I have been closely connected with Columbia and Barnard ever since," said Dean Gild- ersleeve of Barnard in an interview. "A large number of Barnard students live in New York, while the rest live in dormitories. "Colleges for women in the East during the past ten years have lost a great deal of 'college spirit.' The stu- dent council at Vassar resigned be- cause of lack of interest, and those of other women's colleges were equally unsuccessful. College life as it is pic- tured does not exist. "There are no sororities at Barnard. A number of sororities had chapters there but they were abolished, not by vote of the college authorities but by the students themselves! They thought that unless all could belong to some such organization, none should exist. Sororities as such do not exist in most of the women's colleges, although the 'club' system exists in some. The 'clubs' choose those fresh- men they want, and the freshmen choose the 'club' they wish to join. It is a system of preferential bidding such as exists in sororities. "Barnard each year exchanges one student for one with some foreign country," Dean Gildersleeve explained. "The students from the foreign coun- try are often chosen by their federal government. In Fran-ce, the Minister of Public Instruction does this. This year we have a student from Esthonia one of the republics carved out of the Russia of pre-war days. We have students from many European and Asiatic countries. We tried to ex- change a student from Russia, but were unsuccessful." did not actually refuse diplomas on that account. members on this team were chosen for The All-Star team last year, Nel- lie Hoover, Mildred Hardy, and Mar- tha Robinson. Martha Robinson, Nel- lie Hoover and Sarah Bonine are members of the all - star team this year. "Physical education seniors should be able to play basketball pretty well and know the technique and rules perfectly," remarked one of the team. "All of the training and experience we have had in other sports and all we have studied should have devel- oped accuracy and endurance. These always count in a tournament." An admirable record for this team went down in the books at Barbour gymnasium this year. Comparatively few fouls were scored against them during the whole season and no member of the team was put out o° the game for fouls. d Office, Furnitur e and Office Supplies for AnnAro' Business Men.'
