TEAS :W L'L BEHELSpanish Women Are
Emancipation Mov
Each Sorority and Dorniltory to Mak
Own Plans; All Women Are
Urged to Attend*
ASKED TO BRING GUESTS
.This coming Saturday, March 31, is
the date which has been set for the
bridge teas which are to be held by
every sorority and dormitory on the
campus for 'the benefit of the Women's
League. These teas are being spon-
sored by the Undergraduate Campaign
Committee of the League and it is
under their direction that the various
houses are working up original plans
and decorations to make their tea
more attractive. ,
Every woman on the campus is
asked to attend one of these teas,
either that held at her house or as
guests at some other house. The
charge for a single person playing is
to be 75c, or for those making up a
table $3.00. University women. are
asked to invite any other guests they
care to, as the attendance at these
teas is not limited to merely present
University women.
The teas held this year are not the
first that the League has sponsored
for this purpose. Last year a similar
series of teas was given with a great
deal of profit going to the League.
Each house is in direct charge of the
tea it is sponsoring and has one mem-
ber on the committee in charge of
all the teas which is in charge of
" Margaret Wood Bush, '30.
The cost of the refreshment's which
are to be served at each house during
the teas is to be paid with 15
per cent of the amount of money taken
in by the house from the bridge play-
ers. However it is hoped that many
of the houses will be able to donate
their refreshments freeabf charge to
the League. In this way the profits
derived will be larger for the League.
FINE ARTS TREAT
WITH HISTORY OF
MAJORBRANCHES
"The Fine Arts Department aims
to give only the history of the' major
arts," says Miss Adelaide Adams, an
instructor in Fine Arts at the Uni-
versity. The aesthetic side is taken
up by the philosophy department,
while the practical side is treated in
the Architectural school.
Introductory course 101 covers the
foundation of sculpture, painting and
architecture, beginningfrm hprehis-
toric times. Ths course, which is
limited to 200, has been growing more
popular each year. There are atpres-
ent two-thirds women and one-third
meni in the class.
In the advanced courses certain
periods of art are studied.. The Italian'I
Renaissance is the most general of
the advanced course's, and may follow
101. Oriental and American. art are
also given, but require pre-requisites.
Men are really enthusiastic about
the courses and usually continue to
elect them. Women on the whole are
more conscientious.- The Fine Arts
course is valuable to men and women
in later life, not only in the outside
world but also in the home.
NOTICES
Members of Pegasus please send
second semester dues of $1.00 to Mar-
garet G. Cole, 702 Forest avenue.
There will be a business meeting of
Masques at 4:15 today at 514 Forest
avenue. Members are urgently re-
quested to come.
For the purpose of bringing about
a better understanding between the
women of the United States and those
Bof Spain, Senora Isabel de Palencia
has been sent here by the Instituto
de los Espanos.1
Senora Palencia is decidedly Span-
ish. Her olive skin, black hair parted
in the middle, and her high intellectual
forehead bear proof of her nationality.
However she speaks English very flu-
ently, and with almost no trace of her
foreign accent.
In an article which appeared in
the Christian Science Monitor, Senora
de Palencia tell's us something about
the women of her country. "The world
does not kno-w Spain," she claims,
"because Spain has not taken the trou-
ble to make herself known." People,
according to this Spanish delegate,
are inclined to take it for granted that
the feminine population of Spain is
still resting in its medieval seclusion,
and taking nc active part in the eman-.
{cipation movement.
On the contrary many Spanish wom-
en have entered the universities, and
various professions. Some, even, have
become active in politics. Women's
clubs have been formeld and are striv-
ing to bring about better international
relations.
"Spain," she says, "has its own way
of advancing. She does not follow the
usual methods of proceeding, but prog-
resses by learps and bounds. For ex-
ample, she went from the use of can-
(dles directly to the use. of electricity.
|
Coming To Fore In
ement, Says Palencia
It has been the same with the eman-
cipation of women. When they were
once awakened to the necessity of de-
veloping their personalities they prog-
ressed with sudden rapidity."
Senora Palencia brlames the Oriental
influence of the Arabs .for the former
suppression of Spanish women. Even
under this suppression, however, in-
dividual women 'accomplished great
things. In the time of Columbus the
greatest Latin scholar of the day was
a woman. It was she who persuaded
Queen Isabella to aid Columbus with
his venture.
Many of the women disguised them-
selves as men that they could accom-
pli'sh things.
"Not more than thirty-five years ago
there was a general awakening among
the women of Spain. They began to
flock to the universities', suddenly.
they were on a par with men.
"In business, women are now ac-
cepted on the same footing as men.
Their work is respected by men as
well as by the women. Legally, a wom-
an in Spain is still a piece of bag-
gage. A married woman could have
no control over her own property. A
mother who has a husband has no
control over her children. -Women'
lawyers are fast changing all of this,
"Two years ago they were given the
right to vote with one exception, a
married woman cannot vote although
she may be elected to an office if her
husband permits."
Guests Will Wear
Sports Costumes At
Fancy Dress Party
Celebrating all fools' holiday, the
last of windy March, and other things,
the Women's League will entertain at
its annual-Fancy Dress party on Sat-
urday, March' 31, at 8 6'clock in Bar-
bour gymnasium. All of the organ-1
ized women's houses on the campus
will be there, competing for costume
prizes, dancing to the tune of Edna
Mower's five-piece orchestra, partici-
pating in class stunts, and attending
the big fashion' show, by Jacobson's,
in Sarah Caswell Angell hall. Sports
costumes will be worn by all pres-
ent, costumes of every sport, every
mood, every era.
Barbour gymnasium will be decked
up to be quite impartial, representing E
every sport imaginable. All four sea-
sons will be adequately in evidence.
Boxing gloves, tennis racquets, foot-
ball helmets, ice skates, fishing rod's,
skiis, trophies, blankets and pillows,
will make the place look like a cross
between the ideal collegian's living,
room, and a store which deals in sport
goods. The only sport to be omitted
will be motoring, for obvious reasons.
Class stunts, with a couple of spe-
cialty dances besides, will entertain
the assembly with razz and jazz, 'and
peppy doings. The classes will strive
to vary their stunts somewhat from
those that have been given in the
past, offering something quite novel
[this year.
The purpose of the Fancy Dress
party which is given every year, i's to
give all of the women of the university
an occasion to celebrate 'together.
April fools' day seems like a queer
one to celebrate, but it is also a
funny one, so perhaps it is appropriate
after all.
Women trying to fulfill their ambi-
tions to be dectors through work at
University of Toledo pre-medics course
are not a bit squeamish about dis-
secting animals says Professor J. M.
Condrin 'of the laboratory department.
On the contrary he claims as a rule
girls make good laboratory workers.
West Virginia University-Eighteen
girls have recently been selected to
enter the sixth beauty contest of the
University. Six of these will be se-
lected and the one who will receive
the most popular votes will be named I
the most beautiful girl of West Vir-
ginia.

ORCHESIS COMPLETES TRYOUTS AND
ELECTS SIX WOMEN TO MEMBERSHIP
Orchesis, a society for those who'
excel in natural dancing, has com-
pleted its tryouts with the result that
six women have been elected to mem-
bership. They are, Ruth Van Tuyl
'31, Katherine Marshall '29, Vida Mc-
Clure '29, Anita Cohan '30, Arlene
Evans Spec., and Mary Gay vcn Boes-
lager, '30.
At the initiation w'hich will be held
at 8 o'clock on Wednesday, March
27, in Sarah Caswell Angell hall, be-
sides these six initiates, Miss Ruth
Figge, Miss Pauline Hodgson and Dr.
Sappington, all of whom are on thel
physical education staff, will be made
honorary members of the d'ancing' so-
ciety.
The initiation on Wednesday night
will mark the complete reorganization
of Orchesis. The organization -has
required all old members to try out
again in order to retain their mem-
bership in Orchesis. Aside from the
annual election of new members, the
organization of the dancing society
has undergone little revision since
its introduction into the University
a number of years ago. The mem-
bers of the department of physical ed-
ucation who have been invited to hon-
orary members-hip will be the first
honorary members which thisorgani-
zation has ever had. A.
At the first meeting of the reorgan-
ized society 'after initiation, plans will
be made tentative to work on some
definite project to culminate late in
the spring. This project will un-
doubtedly be a dance drama to be giv-
en either before a group of friends or
publicly on Lantern Nig6t.
The requirements of the trying out
for new membership consisted in the
passing of tests upon the fundamen-
tals of dancing and the' giving of an
original rhythm. Most of the wom-
en elected to membership have been
attending the Saturday morning elec-
tive dancing class. This class which
started before the Christmas holidays
will continue until the end of the year.
It is under the direction of Miss
Ione Johnson who Is the sponsor of,
natural dancing from the department
of physical education. Anyone who
is interested in dancing or in trying
out for Orche-sis is welcomed to at-
tend this class.
All of the members of Orchesis are
expected to be present at the initia-
tion on Wednesday night unless they
have received excuses from Rose
Strasser or Miss Johnson.
The bowling alleys in the field
house will be open from 4 until
6 on every day in the week from I
now on, instead of only three I
days a week. Tickets are on sale I
at the field house at ten cents per
string. From now on six strings
may be purchased for 50 cents 1
or 12 strings for one dollar.
LITERARY.SOCIET
TO MEET TONIGH
Portia literary society will hold
regular meeting at 7:15 o'clock t
night. The program planned by Ru
[ Fine, '29, vice-pre-sident., will cons!;
of a review and instruction in Ro
erts' parliamentarian rules to be coi
ducted by Nellie Becker, '29.
Affording practice in parliamentar
an procedure, an open forum on t
question, "Do people want the truth
will follow. The discussion will ce
'ter principally about the press's att
tude toward this situation, and 0]
of the members of the 'society will' co
tribute opinions expressed in the boC
"Standardization of Errors."
m SOPHOMORES PLEASE NOTE!
' Sophomore women who play
I baseball, or who have ever heard
of such a thing, will be given a
chance to try their prowess this
| +amfternoon at 5 o'clock, and also on
Thursday at 5 o'clock, in Bar-
hour gymnasium. Any woman
who comes out will be assured of
a place on the squad. The Sopho-
more motto for the season will be
"Beat everybody else!" which in
f itself will make them a fearful
menace to the other class teams.

Dear Mr. Sink:
It is with great interest that I am in re-
ceipt of the announcement of your thirty-fifth
annual May Festival in Ann Arbor. I had
the pleasure of attending last year's Festival
and in all my experience' I have never so thor-
oughly enjoyed an occasion of this kind. Every
'event was of supreme importance and the ar-
tistic result one :of which you must all be very
proud. The Ann Arbor Festivals probably
do more for music and the cultural life of the
nation than, any similar festivals.
