JEAN BOTSFORD STARS Winners of Games Scheduled for Monday to Compete for Championship. Alpha Phi won the right to com- pete in the hockey semi-finals by defeating Pi Beta Phi, 3 to 2, yester-I day afternoon. The playing in the game was ragged. There was no open field work, and Alpha Phi won because of her hard hitting only. Pi Phi exhibited some fair passing. Dorothy Birdzell, 32, Helen Domi- ne, '31, and Cynthia Root starred for Pi Beta Phi. Excellent defense of the goal was the work of Cyn- thia Root. Jordan Hall was defeated 2-0 by Zeta Tau Alpha i'n a slow game. Lack of teamwork was the cause of Jordan's defeat. The game was marked by individual starring and lack of co-operation. Zeta Tau Al- pha scored its two goals by a sud- dent spirt during the last half of the first period. Helen Brenner, '34, Dorothy Da- vidson, and Esther LaRowe, '32 Ed.. played a good game for Jordan Hall, as did Dorothea Boger, '33 Ed., and Leila Hendricks, '33 Ed., for Zeta Tau Alpha. The game played between Alpha Xi Delta and Helen Newberry Resi- dence was the closest contested of the afternoon. Both teams fought hard, and Alpha Xi Delta's winning goal, which made the score 2-1, was not scored until the last minute of play. Newberry played a good game, but was overcome by Alpha Xi Del- t'a's fas~t attack. Elizabeth Gardner, '32 Ed., and Doris Litzenburger were the stars of the Newberry team. Jean Botsford, '33 Ed., was the best player on the Alpha Xi Delta's team, and Alpha Xi's victory was largely due to her fast and sure playing. By winning the games today Al- pha Phi, Alpha Xi Delta, and Zeta Tau Alpha have now quall'fied for the semi-finals. Kappa K a p p a Gamma :won this right, also, when it was the victor of its game on Wednesday. On Monday, in the semi-finals, Alpha Xi Delta will play Zeta Tau Alpha, and Alpha Phi will oppose Kappa Kappa Gamma. WOMEN TO SHARE ANNUAL EXHIBIT' Mrs. Stanley and Helen Heller Will be Featured. Prospects for this year's series of art exhibits at Alumni Memorial hall show that women artists are to take no small part in the ex- hibits. Perhaps those which stand out most prominently are Mrs. James C. Stanley and Mrs. Helen West Heller, who are both to give one-man shows during the months of January and February respec- tively. Mrs. Stanley is of the old school and does most of her work in the medium of water colors. She is decidely a technician and supports the conservative traditions which are being overridden by the mod- ern school.

Children's Stories Featured in Annual Book Week Display In order to encourage an appre- ciation for fine editions and good reading for young b o y s and girls, books which were purchased through the Children's Fund of Michigan, established by Senator James A. Couzens in 1929, are now on exhibition in the display cases in the entry of the main library. These editions have been placed there in aniticipation of Children's Book Week. "Some people say that children will only destroy good editions, but in my experience they will learn to respect them," said Miss Ella M. Hymans, head of the rare book room. The books are the same old favorites, which all boys and girls should read before they graduate from High School. They consist of Fairy tales, Legends, Adventures, Poetry and Folk Lore. "Each book was chosen for its particular distinction and beauty in make-up and illustration. Many of the editions are illustrated by modernistic style such as a Mexican picture book, 'The Painted Pig,'" said Miss Hymans. "The books carry the reader into foreign lands, stirring their ima- ginations. One, such as "The Birth- day of the Infanta," will take them to Spain through the delicate colors portrayed by Pamela Bianco. Oth- ers take them to strange unkown lands by their fantastic pictures. Rip Van Winkle and Arabian Nights are illustrated in such a distinctive manner that they would excite the minds of every child. Al] of these awaken a love for beauty as well as literature. "The editions are typical of those which shall be on display in the libraries of the small towns with a population under two thousand, during next week, which is Child- ren's Book Week. Warner C. Rice Says P Individual Efforts Should be Favored "We should treat our students as we do the football team, let the best man come to the front, favor his efforts and sponsor his individ- ual work," said Professor Warner G. Rice of the English department when questioned as to possible re- forms in the present educational system. Professor Rice coming from Har- vard where the Tutorial system is in practice suggests that we take the fundamental principles involv- ed in our English Honors course which has several lines of paral- ellism to the tutorial system and I supply it to a larger group of stu- dents in all departments. He would take perhaps one third of the stu- dent body and allow this fraction the opportunity from the sopho- more year on to undertake concen- trated work in the field of their interest. The tutortial system at Harvard exists as a supplement to the stu- dent's major field. During the four years the tutors provide readings which widen the scope of the stu- dent's outlook and help him to meet the comprehensive examina- tion which he must pass before he can obtain his degree. With this brief sketch one can easily catch the simiharities which exist be- tween our present system of Hon- ors and the Harvard corricula. Upon the adoption of such meas- ures as Professor Rice proposes, a change in the method of study would necessarily have to come a- bout. The suggestion he offers for this is to have the mass of students continue in the system of lectures; but to allow the students of the chosen third to carry on increas- ingly difficult work on a scale of individual enterprise. If some of this group are not capable of meet- ing the challenge offered in the ever increasing difficulty then they may return to the lecture courses. DR.

But it is only "Red" Stiles, '31, and Art Smith, '31, directing the women tryout's for the Mimes all-campus review in the proper technique of chorus and tap dancing. How many choruses will be chos- en is not certain at present. More tryouts are requested to report at the ballroom between 3 and 5 o'clock. Anyone who has dancing, singing, or acting talent to any ex- tent is welcome. Stiles, who was a dancer of the "pony" chorus in last year's opera, "Merrie-Go-Round," and Smith who was a prominent member of what one newspaper termed "the talented eight" are assisting director David Hemp- stead, '31, with the production. The atmosphere of the ballroom fairly radiates work. At the piano, several more gifted tryouts are at- tempting to compose a few num- bers, or write lyrics for music al- ready accepted. Tryouts for spe- cialty song numbers or for the singing chorus are being heard in another corner.

Dr. Colby spent part of her time in Europe making a survey of nur- sery schools for the Rockefeller Foundation. She was particularly interested in the system of chil- dren's institutions in Germany. "These children's institutions are more like homes than schools," she said, "because the children live at the institution and are thus un- der the constant supervision of child experts." Dr. Colby concluced by saying that, "The German nursery schools are closely connected with the psy- chology departnen;s of local uni- versities, although they are not in the universities proper, -t 1IL IF' YOU7 ARE A ROMANTIC Armmpm 1 / ', < . r,-' ., ;,:, ; .: You NG MODERN Ii III s hr '=~- -- - o Need, Now, to Alibi 0 0 ® 0 0 "I thought I'd treat myself!"
