Tickets For Dances Sold at Main Desk on First Foor of League Building CAFETERIA WILL OPERATE Dancing in the League ballroom to Bud Golden's orchestra as pre- sented by Bob Carson is now an es- tablished feature of the week end's activities. Couples who dance at the League this Friday and Saturday will ob- serve a great change in both the appearance and atmosphere of the ball room. During the week the League has completed several new arrangements which have affected a decided difference. The floor will be improved this week with the use of a different preparation from that which has been used heretofore. Control of the lights by a reostat will create an entirely new atmosphere, and the addition of a platform for the orchestra will remove past diffi- culties of hearing the music and watching the entertaining stunts of the orchestra. During the intermission food will be served in the cafeteria on the first floor just below the ball- room. Couples are requested not to go above the second floor during DR. BELL, MISS HAL AT HIGH SCH "As women we should find out where our aptitudes lie, and not try to copy men," said Dr. Margaret Bell in her talk before the delegates of the High School Girls' Sports Conference at a luncheon yesterday noon in the field house. "I agree with President Little that men andl women are different-they have! different aptitudes and different l rhythms." Dr. Bell stated that while the delegates to the Conference were leaders, chosen for their scholar- ship .and extra-curricular activities, she did not advocate college as the ultimate goal for all of them, be- cause other things are better for some people. The fact that these girls have ability for leadership,I however, proves that they will be, successful in whatever they do. Dr. Bell quoted statistics from a recent surveytwhich showed that only four percent of students who have aI grade of 85 are failures. Becausej the question was raised about those who have lower averages in schol- arship, in the same test 125 sub- jects were tested and it was found that of them, all but two were unsuccessful. Here at the Univer- sity, she said, the percentage of failures is from 12 to 15. "The constant change in moral attitudes," Dr. Bell continued, "is a field where the intelligent action of] ATHNAIS, INSTALLED'i LSEY, SPEAK iAEEY0A PI'S ELIMYINATE XsL% %J JLt mV1L a.I IZ women would be felt as much as any place today. Experimentation is all righ-t, but it should be thought- ful." Dr. Bell then pointed out that health is essential to effective liv- ing, and that the women of today need more endurance than they I have at present. Physical education, she said, is a profession that has unlimited op- portunities for the idealistic teach- er. She concluded her talk by say- ing that she believed that the Uni- versity of Michigan is as fine a school as there is in the country with as fine equipment as can be found, and furthermore with the spirit to lead. Following the talk by Dr. Bell, Miss Elizabeth Halsey, visiting pro- fessor from Iowa State University, spoke on sportsmanship as an Anglo-Saxon tradition, contrasting it with the fact that the children! of the Near East, with whom she has worked, have no such thing in{ their lives. "In teaching them what sportsmanship meant," she said, "it had to be translated into concrete instances, so that the children could understand it. Miss Halsey said that there are certain dangerous tendencies which may destroy sportsmanship in this country. One of these is commer- cialism with all its tendencies to destroy the advantage of the in- dividual by the exploitation of the individual for the man who holds the purse strings. She closed her' talk by saying that she hoped the high school girls would go back to their own schools and do all that is possible to promote sportsm an- Iship because it is one of the -great- GAMMA PHIiiBETA - Victors Score Quintet of luus in. First Inning to Stop All Argument TO PLAY AGAIN FRIDAY Showing a marked improvenient over their Monday's performance, Alpha Omicron Pi took Gamma Phi Beta's ball team into camp 6-0 yes- terday afternoon. Getting under way in the second half of the first stanza, trotted five of their six counters across the platter. Continuing the rally in the second they nicked the Gamma Phi twirler for three safeties, but only one runner completed the ci cuit of the bases. The Gamma Phi sluggers solved the delivery of G. Wilkinson for several scorching two-baggers but the runners were left stranded without being able successfully to round the hot corner. On their only chance to score the runner was hit by a batted ball between third and home for the third out. Alpha Xi Delta and Sigma Kappa are- the 'only teams that have not played the necessary three games to enter the elimination series that began today. This game will be played Friday or Saturday. The sec- and round of the elimination series begins Friday with Delta Zeta en- countering Alpha Epsilon Phi at 4 o'clock, :Chi Omega encountering Alpha Omic-on Pi, Zeta'Tau Alpha Betsy Barbour, and Martha Cook Sigma Kappa at 5 o'clock, weather permitting. o 0 I Name Women's League Theater 1 ( It is with unusual pleasure that I announce the name of I the Theatre in our beautiful I building as the Lydia Mendels- LLA | sohn Theatre.

I am enclosing a little ditty that I believe expresses my sentiments entirely: Old Man Joy and Old Man Trouble Went out for a walk one day. I happened to pass when they met on the street And I overheard them say, Said Old Man Trouble, "She's as wrong as she can be, There ain't no fun in anything to me, why I4 was just talking' to Old Man Sorrow, And he says the world will end tomorrow." Then Old Man Joy lie started to grin, And I saw him bring out that OLD BLUE TIN, Then OLD JOHNNY BRIAR was next on the scene, And he packed him full from the OLD BLUE TIN, Aid I heard him say as he walked away, "You have to have a smoke screen every day.
