COOKE IS ELECTED1
LEAGUE1DELEGATE
TO ANN VAL MEETING
Will Go to Palo Alto, California,
for Four Day Convention
in December.
COOPERATION IS MOTIVE
Students From All Schools Will
Attend Meeting To
Hear Noted Men.
Eleanor Cooke, '31, has been
elected by the Board of Directors
of the League to represent the Uni-
versity of Michigan at the annual
convention of the National Student'
Federation of America, to be held
in December at Palo Alto, Cali-
fornia. The convention lasts for
four days And has representatives
from almost every college and uni-
versity in the United States.
The purpose of the convention is
to achieve a spirit of cooperation
among the students of the United
States; to give consideration to
questions affecting student inter-
ests; to develop intelligent student
opinions on questions of national
and international importance; and
to foster understanding among the
students of the world in the fur-
therance of enduring peace.
Outstanding men from all over
the United States attend the con-
ventiony'to speak to the students.
Disseussions include subjects which'
are of major interest to all colleges
at the present time. The honor sys-
tem and student government were
questions which were stressed at
the convention last year, at which
Helen Fellows, '30, represented the
Michigan League, together with
fraternity and sorority problems.
The question of world peace, as1
concerned with the education of1
American students on world prob-
lems, is a vital concern of the as-
sociation.
The representative every year
brings back to the university ol1the,
suggestions and new ideas which
she has derived from the conven-
tion, as well as carrying to the con-
vention the knowledge which ex-
perience in the League has given
her. The position is, therefore, a;
responsible one. The convention,
in general, tends to unite moreI
closely the colleges and universi-
ties which otherwise would not have
frequent contact, in the different
sections of the country.
There is an organization in Eu-
rope which corresponds to the Na- I
tional Student Federation of
America and which keeps in con-
tact with American schools. Last
rear it was this organization which'
sponsored the visit of the African
jtudent to the various universities
Un America, including a trip to the
University of Michigan.
INVITE ALL WOMEN
TO HOCKEY SPREAD
Not only members of the class
hockey squads and students of phy-
aical education, but all women on
the campus who are interested in
the sport, are invited to the annual
f ockey spread which will take place
ft 6 o'clock tonight in the lounge
of the Women's Field House.
The spread will be informal, the
players being permitted to come
directly from the field in their
Hockey clothes, if they so desire.
Each class will put on a stunt sim-1
1iar to the ones put on at the an- I
nual hockey banquet, which comes
at the end of the hockey season.
There will be a charge of fifty cents
which may be paid at the door.
anet Michael, '31, is in charge of
the spread.
THE EXCHANGES
Word comes from London that
little princess Eliabeth, grand-
daughter of King George and
Queen Mary, will begin- her educa-
tion next April, soon after her
fourth birthday. Her first lessons,
to be given by her mother and her
governess, will be the study of
reading, writing, French, dancing
and piano. _ The princess has al-
ready shown marked interest in
books and dancing.
