If enough women improve and show their ability for fencing, a tourriament may'be run later in the season. " According to the intra- mural program scheduled, fencing along with ping pong and swim- iniig is one of the individual sports. Coaching will be in group forma- tion at first, and later singly after progress has been made. Quick thinking, agility) and accuracy are developed in this sport. The de- partment has been very fortunate to secure Coach Johnstone and all girls who are interested in fencing are urged to take advantage of this- opportunity. Ohio Students Maket Whoopee When Blue Laws Are Repealed TIFFIN, Ohio, Feb. 29.-(P)-Blie rhythm has ended an 80-year reign of blue laws at Heidelberg college. And it was a gleeful assemblage of college men and women that pried off the lid restraining student social functions. Most o the 350 students of the amtocl danced and played cards for the first time in school history when they enjoyed this new free- dom. Discontent bubbling under a lid of restrictions clamped down in 1851 and uncompromisingly in ef- feet in 1931, had kept the lid jig- gling for some time. The burning of a small campus building, stoning of windows in the office of- President Charles I. Miller and a paint pot sortie which left sedate college buildings decked out in motley though rakish colors, oc- curred during this period. But these sporadic outbreaks of recent years had had no effect. No dancing, no card playing, no smok- ing - restrictions placed on the school when it was founded four score years before, remained i' force. Discontent flared. into rebellion Disturbances shook the campus lid. The revolt won for the students an undergraduate committee to meet with the trustees. J.G.P. SCHEDULE, Margaret Schermack.

All Work on Affair Is Done by+ Central Committe and Class Members. Eight years ago the Freshman Pageant was inaugurated on this l campus as an annual event with the representation through dance of, the Greek theme, Persephone and Pluto. Since then it has grown to be one of the University's most col- orful traditions. It has for many years been the custom to have some form of enter- tainment immediately preceding the Lantern Night exercises. Until 1920 it was an all-campus affair with both men and women playing parts. In that year, however, it was de- cided to open the parts to only women students and a Maypole Dance was presented at Ferry Field. In 1923 it was decided that the women should undertake the proj - ect of presenting a pageant on that night. It proved to be an outstand- ing success and so Miss Jean Ham- ilton, then Dean of Women, decided to allow the freshman women to attempt another pageant the fol- lowing year. Since that time the entertainment for Lantern Night has been given over entirely to the freshmen. The idea of presenting the Greek themes in the first pageants given here was borrowed from Barnard college. The idea of presenting a SENIOR, FRESHMAN MANAGERS NAMED TRADITION OF FRESHMAN PAGEANT COMMENCED HERE EIGHT YEARS AGO Greek myth in pantomime was orig- inated by them.,in 1903. At that time athletics were stressed in the pageant and the story was depicted through games. Gradually the aes- thetic side, was worked into the theme until it replaced entirely the games and an entire program of dance was the result. All the work of the pageant here is done by the freshman women. A central committee is elected by them in March which has charge of all arrangements. After the elec- tion of the committee the actual work begins. The theme is chosen and intensive rehearsals begin im- mediately. :All costuming and stage settings are designed and executed by the entire class.

Sports wear is commanding even more than the usual amount of at- tention here on campus this week. The cause may be attributed to the annual drive which is being spon- sored by the Women's Athletic As- sociation. A fashion show which was held last Friday called atten- tion to the correct mode in sports wear.. Sports clothes for classroom wear are always practical and advisable, but never are they more appropri- ate than in the coming spring sea- son. When one is able to go with- out a coat, nothing is more com- fortable than a knitted sports suit, ,which combines practicability and style. Worn with the new jaunty little hats, mascothscarfs, and smartly cut oxfords, a every attrac- tive ensemble may be devised. An especially charming sports dress which recently came to our attention was one of a strange shade of rose-beige which was suc- cessfully combined with garnet. It was a knitted. two-piece suit, the sweated blouse being quite long, and, very plain. The material was close- ly knitted and had an all-over pat- tern of tiny squares which were al- most imperceptible. Outlining each of the squares was a thread of gar- net which made one conscious that a pattern,did exist. The skirt was long and flare). The trimming note was contained in the scarf of the mascot type Which outlined the neckline. The scarf might be folded over at the isde and worn as a stand-up collar; it might also be worn as a mascot scarf tying in the. front. The ma- jor portion of this scarf was rose- beige, but across either end were two strips of garnet. The belt, too, was of this same garnet shade. The hat worn with this dress was a tiny crocheted one of rose-beige; there were rows of stitching from the center to the.edges, and just at the very top of the crown was a tiny bow of garnet. Yellbw and brown are also used to good advantage in sports combi- nations, one uisng brown for its basic tone, and being trimmed with a ,pale yellow was attractive. The material used in the dress was wool crepe, that yery popular material, which also has the happy faculty of being serviceable. The yoke was of pale yellow, and extended down over the shoulders half-way to the elbow where it was met by the brown lower portion of the sleeve, which came up over the elbow in the shape of an elongated pdint. The cuffs were trimmed with tiny yellow buttons. The main feature of this dress was also a scarf, showing that the unusual popularity recently enjoy- ed by scarfs of all kinds has not yet definitely waned. The central por- tion was of yellow; the ends were of the same rich shade ofbrown as the basic tone of the drass, and they were accordion plaited. It was worn looped over one side and al- lowed to hang at the right, empha- sizing the oddly shaped neck-line which was definitely a one-sided v, terminating at the right of the nat- ural neck-line. Senior Honor Societies Plan Parties for WyvernI Mortarboard, senior honorary so- ciety, and Senior Society, honorary organization for independent sen- ior women, will jointly entertain members of Wyvern, junior honor- ary society, and the faculty advisers of the three organizations at a bridge party at 7:30 o'clock Thurs- day in the cave of the League building. Ella Korby, '32, Hilda Kirby, '35 to Direct Sports. Ella Korby, '32, has been selected as senior interclass basketball man- ager and Hilda Kirby, '35, has been made freshmen class manager.
