'TIP MI C 1-1 AN - Ir T Wi Hold Tea Wellesley College Beauties Selected For Tree Day Dance AtUnion Hop Week-End Announce Party As New Feature In Response To Popular Demand As an addition to the social activity of the traditional J-Hop week-end, the Union has planned a tea dance for the afternoon following the Hop, Saturday, Feb. 10, to be held in the1 ballroom, according to plans released last night. Robert A. Saltzstein, '34, president of the Union, stated that the idea was being given a trial this year in response to numerous requests from undergraduates for entertainment after the Hop. It is highly probable, should the experiment prove to be a success, that it will be continued in the future as a permanent feature. Light refreshments will be served from 3 to 5 p. m. at a buffet counter and the dancers will be provided with tables in and near the ballroom. The music will be furnished by the reg- ular Michigan Union dance orchestra, under the direction of Bob Steinle, and featuring as vocal soloists Byron Dalrymple and Earl Burnett. The planning of the party has been delegated to the student dance com- mittee including Richard Shoupe, '35, James P. Wallace, '35, and Alexander M. McPherson, '35. The group stated that only a limited number of tickets are being placed on sale at the Union desk. However, reservations can be made by calling the student offices. A list of patrons for the dance will be announced today. Tickets are priced at 60 cents a couple, which will defray the expense of serving re- freshments.

Ed, To Present Program Returning to the University after six years absence, Marion Van Tuyl, '28Ed., prominent in campus activ- ities, is to give a concert dance re- cital February 12 in Lydia Mendel- ssohn theatre with Berta Ochsner, soloist dancer of international experi- ence. Miss Van Tuyl curing her fresh- man year was the model for several of the murals painted by James Mc- Burney, for the Ethel Fountain Hus- sey Room of the League. The tennis girl over the mantel piece is a good portrait of her. From the beginning of her fresh- man year, Miss Van Tuyl was espe- cially outstanding in various. class functions and an excellent student as her election into Wyvern and Mor- tarboard show. She carried one of the leads for the Freshman Pageant, and in her second year, when the Sophomore Circus was innovated, she was in complete charge of the costuming. As one of the few dance majors in the University, she was chosen as dance chairman for the Junior Girls Play. Miss Van Tuyl is a member of Alpha Omicron Pi sorority, and was elected to Phi Kappa Phi and Pi Lambda Theta, honorary fraternities. Since her grdadluation Miss Van Tuyl has been an instructor in rhythms at the University of Chicago. There she has received high commen- dation for the work of her groups in recitals and especially for several presentations accompanying the chapel choir. During the summers, Miss Van Tuyl has studied in New York under Martha Graham and Mary Wigman. Two years ago she and Miss Ochsner travelled in Europe, studying various dance .groups in different countries. Teaching her dancing classes ap- peals more to Miss Van Tuyl than professional dancing, but she feels that a teacher requires experience in creative dancing She has taken a leave of absence for the quarter and will resume her classes in April Miss Van Tuyl's, mother, Mrs Mary C. Van Tuyl is assistant professor of psychology in the }University, and her sister Ruth is finishing her course this year" in design in the Architec- tural School. Dr. Alvalyn Woodward Tells Of Research W rk In Zoouhgy EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the fifth in a series of articles on prominent women in the University. By ELEANOR BLUM Although she. resolved that she would never teach, Dr. Alvalyn Woodward, Assistant Professor of Zoology, after one year of teaching decided that she liked it, and has "been at it ever since." Dr. Woodward had an early inter- est in the subject which she now teaches. She was born in what was then the Dakota Territory, and re- ceived her early education in Ro- chester. N. Y., which was for many . years the family home. She tells the story of how as a child she wanted to be a doctor, and at the age of seven or eight would cry herself to sleep because she was a girl, and so, as she thought, could not hope for that; she was, therefore, very much elated when at the age of eight she had the opportunity of meeting a woman physician. She graduated from high school with a scholarship granting four, years' tuition at the University of Rochester, but she knew that she would not be able to take a medical course, however, so her specialty there became biology and Latin. As a student she held a number of posi- tions such as president of the senior class, and president of the Student's Association. Her first position upon leaving col- lege was that of a teacher of science and mathematics in small high schools, first at Vassar, Mich., and then at Seneca Falls, N.Y. She re- turned to Rochester after.:four years of teaching to get her master's de- gree in zoology. At the, same time she worked as an assistant in the department. All of her summers she spent in biological research, at first the Ma- rine Biological Laboratories at Woods Hole, Mass., then at Cold Springs Harbor, Long Island, and finally at Douglas Lake, where the Michigan Biological Station is situated. Her life seemed to be a succession of interesting positions. For a year she was acting head of the biology department at Central State Teach- ers College at Mount Pleasant. Then. with the encouragement of Dr. A. S. Pearse. with whom she worked at Douglas Lake, she camne to Michigan forgraduate work, and for three years held a fellowship here. At the close of the three years she accepted a position as teaching as- sistant at Vassar College. During the War she was instructor in zoology at Simmons College at Boston. "We weren't in the War, but we might as well have been," she said. Evenings and Sundays, she would leave Sim- mons and go over touTuftsCollege Medical School to help make serums for war purposes. She had had enough bacteriology to know the technique well enough to make the vaccine. While at Simmons she got a long- distance call from O. C. Glaser, under whom she had worked at Michigan, asking her if she would be interested in a .position doing research and re- organization work at Amherst. There she was one of the two .women who had faculty , rank. Other jobs fol- lowed. She was, for a while, a teacher of physiology at the North Carolina College for Women, and after that, The cast to support Marie Abbott, and Charlotte Whitman, leads for "Gang's All There," 1934 Junior Girls Play, was selected last night accord- ing to Barbara Sutherland, general, chairman. The show concerns the difficulties of a big city producer, played by Miss Abbott, with his temperamental lead- ing lady, Virginia Chapman. Mildred; Bosma, as "Scarface Joe," further complicates matters; while Camilla Bowman, the debutante chorine, Vir- ginia Randolph, and Kathleen Car- penter are none the less troublesome in their respective roles. Minor parts will be taken by Betty Little, Jane Cissell, Sally Stapleton, Beatrice Devine, Kathleen Patterson, Sarah Pierce, Harriet Speiss, Billie Griffiths, Mary Morrison, Madelyne Coe, Barbara Morgan. A cast of 200, including all types, of choruses from Garbos to mugs and; molls, will take part. A group of twenty trained singers under the di-, rection of Maxine Maynard, will alone be responsible for the singingr throughout the entire play.

Associate Professor of Zoology at the University of Maine. It was there that she started her experiments on can- cer in mice. Dr. Clarence Little, who had start- ed a cancer research laboratory here, heard of Dr. Woodward's experiments and asked her to come to Michigan. That was in 1927. She worked in the cancer laboratory for two years and then came to the zoology department to teach animal physiology. The re- search which she is carrying on now is on the effects of endocrines, or internal secretions; and, a subject re- lated to cancer, the different factors making cells divide. Lily Pons, who is to sing next Mon- day in Hill Auditorium, is the small- est prima donna ever to appear on the Metropolitan Opera stage. She is five feet, two inches in height and weighs 101 pounds. Her feet are so small that she can only be fitted with shoes made on a special last. Miss Pons does not have to diet. In fact, the opposite is true. It was in Buenos Aires, during her strenuous season at the Colon Opera that she discovered she was losing weight. As she weighed only 101 pounds to begin with, this was not to be thought of. ,A physician prescribed pumpernickel, a special black bread, spread with butter almost as thick as the bread itself. Fourteen big slices she was to eat every day. In two weeks time she had gained nine pounds, and today, pumpernickel is part of her daily diet. Miss Pons does not smoke. She en- joys an occasional glass of Burgundy wine, and considers gin and whiskey medicine on a par with cod-liver and castor oil. She is simple, quite unsophisticated for a famous diva - altogether charming and child-like. There is a slight suggestion of Lillian Gish; yet she is dark, with small features, olive-tinted. Her dark hair is bobbed. How long it will remain that way, she is not quite sure. Perhaps she will let it grow long. It seems she arrived at young womanhood at the J.G.P. Cast, choruses And Staff To Hear Play All women connected in any way with the cast, choruses, or staff of the Junior Girls Play, "Gang's All There, including all tryouts, are to assemble at 7:30 p. m. today in the Grand Rapids Room of the League to hear Russell Mc- Cracken, director, read the manu- script of the play. Afternoon practice schedules will continue as planned, Barbara Sutherland, chairman of the cen- tral committee, said yesterday. Mr.' McCracken planned the reading "because too few connected with, the show know more about it than their individual parts," he said.

Perhaps her airy slimness accounts for her, temperament, for Lily Pons lives life in the accelerated tempo of perpetual movement. She loves sports --she swims, plays tennis, rides horseback. She loves to dance. She designs her own clothes, is a sculp- tress, paints, and in pensive mood writes verse. But that is only half the story. Miss Pons has 'already made her plans for retirement. She will sing for ten years -no more. Then, at the advanced age of 38 she will buy a farm in her beloved France. It is possible that she may change her mind before the approach of the next decade, but the mere mention of this possibility elicits vigorous denial on the part of the young singer.
