Significant Steps Forward
All over the country, organizations
are engaged in international serv-
ices andl the promotion of mutual re-*n
spect and understanding between
American and foreign students. At
Cornell University a Director of In-
ternational Student Affairs has been
appointed. Christian Associations
churches, and Cosmopolitan Clubs
continue their activitieg with their
student guests. And deputations are
frequently sent to surrounding com
munities to address or provide dis-
cussions for clubs, high schools, and / . ;..
churches. Everything is being done in
the way of mutual co-operation and
friendship.

That eight of the attendants at
mixed badminton r1jactices Wednes-
day evenings at i3arbour Gymnasium
were taking the sport seriously, may
be proved from the fact that they
are now playing in the Mixed Bad-
minton City tournament.
Students participating are: Betty '
Cad.y, '34, Beatrice Massman, '34,
Margot. Goodrich, '37, Betsy O'Dell,
'36, Thomas Auketell, '36,. Harry K;S-
abach, '37, Bruce MacDonald, '35, and
Nelson Shaw, '34.
The Ann Arbor Badminton Club is
sponsoring the tournament and many
of its members are competing. Al-
though the opening matches may be
played on any regulation court, the 1
finals will be held on the Harris Hall
courts.I
Not only is Ann Arbor sponsoring'
a contest for champions, but also aE

The Union celebrated the thirtieth
anniversary of its founding this fall
at Open House, but the League can
boast of 44 years of existence in
June. In 1890 with but about 100
women in the University a group
banded together and formed the
"Women's League." Surprise! The
men are not always first.
Let's abandon the marking sys-
tem, daring young students cry, be-
lieving themselves to be wickedly
radical and progressive, but for over
50 years the University had no mark-
ing system; one either passed, failed.
or continued on condition.
It was partly due to the agitation
for the establishment of a chapter
of Phi Beta Kappa, which could not
be maintained under that system.
Now we all have the golden oppor-
tunity before us, all we have to do
now is to obtain those Phi Beta
grades.

As for the dinner dress, it is at its

year, and lately the League and
