It is hopedthat a large number of people Swilltake advant- age of this oppor- tunity to see the field house and it Dr, Margaret Bell is also hoped that as many as pos- sible will plan to be present in the evening, -wheii the splendor of the day's festivities will be at its height. Trips through the building are to be conducted by undergraduates chosen from the Women's Athletic as- sociation. Some of the high-spots to be exhibited will be the four-lane bowlirg alley and indoor golf equip- ment downstairs, the first aid room acce ssible from the field, the student activities room adjoining the 'grand lounge, the terrace, and the grand piano selected by Earl V. Moore of the School of Music at Grinnell's in De-i troit, to which Caruso has sung and which bears an inscription, "All good wishes, Ethel Leginska" on the in- side. The piano once belonged to a family who, although not musical themselves, often entertained great1 Formal Opening Of Women's Field House After Years' Work Realizes Fielding H. Yost's Program Of "Athletics For All" By Marjorie Folliner The formal opening of the new wo- men's atheltic building on Palmer field is the realization of dreams dat- ing from the beginning of women's athletics in the University of Michi- gan and the completion of work on the field and field house which. has been going on for approximately a year. Director of Athletics Fielding H. Yost's athletic program of "Athletics for all" takes in women as well as men. A year ago this month the Board in Control of Athletics made an appropriation of $300,000 for the purpose of regrading Palmer field andi building a field house. The fact that an unsightly part of Ann Arbor has been transformed into a beauty snot is an unnecessary proof of the fact that Coach Yost's vision extends far be- yond the limited bounds of athletics. Dr. Margaret Bell, head of the wo- men's department of physical educa- tion, has been a moving spirit behind the whole project. Her maxim, "Make athletics your hobby," worked so well among the women of the University that they outgrew Barbour gymnasium long ago. Dr. Bell, assisted by a com- mittee made up of Mrs. Fielding Yost, Mrs. John B. Waite, and Mrs. Everett S. Brown has planned the interior decoration for the field house. One of the architects, Lynn W. Fry, is an alumnus of the University of Michigan, having graduated in the class of '17E. Fry and Kasurin. of Ann Arbor, has succeeded admirably in combining practicability and good scape to be viewed from the terrace or th; lounge will be points to be ad- mired by the guests this afternoon. The athletic building will be decked in spring flowers, ferns, and palms for the occasion. Simple refreshments of tea, open sandwiches, and ices will be served in the lounge and on the ter- race. Miss Ethel A. McCormick, as- sistant Professor of Physical Educa- tion for women, has been in charge of taste in almost pure Georgian archi- tecture. The athletic building resembles a luxurious club-house. There are three locker rooms, one for the academic students, one for the major students, and one for the faculty, which have approximately 2000 lockers, 200 dress- ing booths, and 70 showers, each with an individual water control. The build- ing includes office rooms for the fac- ulty, a first-aid room which opens con- veniently from the field, an equip- ment room, a kitchen decorated in range. The six or seven level acres of the field will be divided into six- teen tennis courts and three hockey fields, according to present plans. The athletic building is the first on Michigan's campus, with the exception of Barbour gymnasium, to be planned especially for women. The new wo- men's league building will be con-y veniently nearby and the two will undoubtedly form a nucleus for all other buildings for women that are to be built later. The formal open- ing of the field house means more than the putting into operation of another building, for this building Isl surrounded with Michigan traditions, some of the famous spirit of Coach Yost has been infused into it, and all that is best in athletic history at Mich- igan are the girders upon which this new building has been erected. SOPHOMORE MEETING TAKES PLACE TODAY Chairmanships For Junior Girls Play Are To Be Decided; Committee Makes Nominations URGE 'WOMEN TO ATTEND With a mass meeting of all sopho- more women at 4:15 o'clock in Sarah Caswell Angell hall, the executive committee of the 25th annual Junior Girls' play, the .machinery of +)he most important class activity of Michigan women will be once more set in motion. Nominations have been made by the nominating committee of the sophom-ore class, and at this af- ternoon's meeting the leading chair- men of the play will be elected. For general chairman of the play the nominees are Margaret Bush and Dorothy McKee. The committee in charge of nominations will have some changes and additions to an- nounce at the time of the meeting, it was announced late last night. Nom- inatgons for the general chairman- ship and the other chairmanships ,may also be made from the floor, ac- cording to the announcement. Nominations for the other posi- tions are as follows: business man- ager, Dorothy Beck and Jean Wal- lace; chairman of programs.

The other chairmanships, which are costumes, publicity, music, dance, and make-up, will be filled by ap- pointment of the general chairman. The ushers for the play will also be appointed. In view of the fact that the Junior Girls' play is the biggest class activ- ity in which any Michigan woman can participate, every woman in the class of 1930 is urged to attend this afternoon's meeting, if she wishes to express any preference with regard to the personnel of the play com- mittee. 'EMPORIA, Kan.-Kappa Mu Lam- ba sorority of Kansas - Agricultural College requires a wedding ring as a prerequisite to membership. Al- though election to this sorority is coveted, no cases. have been -report- ed of co-eds getting married simply to gain eligiblity. Honoring the Freihman Girls' Glee club and their director, May Strong, the University Girls' Glee club isj giving a party this afternoon at 4:30! at Betsy Barbour house. This is an annual affair, the purpose of which is to promote friendship between the members of the two clubs and to in- terest the freshmen in trying gut for membership in the larger group. As is customary, the freshman club will sing to the upperclassmen, and the latter will sing a toast to their guests. The numbers which the Fresh- man Girls' Glee club will offer are the following: "Lift Thine Eyes" from "Elijah" by Mendelssohn; "List the, Cherubic Host" from "The Holy City" by Gaul (baritone solo by Philip R. Culkin, '28, and soprano solo by Marjorie G. Chavenelle, '28); "Would God I Were The Tender Apple Blossom," Irish melody arranged by Adolf Weidig; and "The Sleeping Beauty" by Tschai- kowsky-Page. This is the occasion of the year at which the Freshman Girls' Glee club has an opportunity to sing. Aonther activity of the group is the selling of candy at the performances of the Junior Girls' play. The freshman club numbers about 35 members, while the University Girls' Glee club has this year a mem- bership of approximately 75.

Film actors disapprove of bobbed hair and shaved necks, but f1avor the old-hashioned girl, according to a canvass of several leading cinema stars. John Gilbert asked to be. ex- cused from a girl with a neck of stubbles; Milton SiIls and Ramon Navarro favored the old-fashioner, girl who wears long skirts. Freshman Glee Club LEAGUE WILL INSTALL Will Be Entertainednrrrrn Tl'flt1IflflflhA PRESIDENT LITTLE'S IMESSAGE In my opinion. th6 outstanding achievement of the Board in Con- trol of Athletics during the past two years has been in its assist- ance to the women students of the University. The new build- ing, which will be formally op- ened today, represents a visible guarantee of the interest and loy- alty that the Board in Control feels toward the women of the University. Those who have al- ready seen the building know that it is becoming increasingly nec- essary and inspiring surprise. I strongly advise every woman stu- dent in the University to visit it at her first opportunity and to in- clude the use of its splendid fa- I cilities among her most prized opportunities. P:L Pres.
