T-HURSDAY, ifi-:C. 9, 15",7 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAC Moping On The Mall By Meandering Minnie Congratulations are now in order to Mickey Mouse Luby, the father of our column, for winning the prize top hat of the week. The busy little group in the League Undergrad Office the other day was a charming sight to see. All the little hands were busy making paper flowers for the "Secret Garden." Helen Jesperson, Sally Pierce, Alberta Wood, Faith Watkins, Ruth Friedman and Dorothy Novy were among the artistic ones. J.G.P. seems to be getting a little involved, even at this early date. On the bulletin board the other day, the dance class was scheduled for the Garden Room. When the women trucked on down there, they were told to go up to the Kala-c mazoo Room. From there they were directed to the Ballroom. Let's have a treasure hunt-shall we? Alys Pierce, Priscilla Abbot, Alice Bassett, Nancy Saibert, Mary Skinner and Pa- tricia Haff were among the tryouts. W.A.A. Under Control... W.A.A. has gotten under control at this point-badminton, basketball, rifle, swimming, bowling and so forth. The basketball tournament is now going on, and early results are piling in. Delta Gamma whipped the Ann Arbor Independents last Monday. On Tuesday, Frances Anderson scored most of the points when Alpha Gamma Delta defeated A.O.Pi by 14 to 2. Zone IV was also among the losers when Mosher beat them 11 to 6. Marorie Kern was high point scorer when she piled up 7- points. Sally Connery and Irene Sabo, forward and guard, were certainly whipping around the floor at a breakneck rate of speed. Among the season's basketball fiends are Jeannette Wathey, Elinor Bale, Virginia Storts, Frances Anderson, Charlotte Baxter, Dorothy Adams, Edith Butler, and Betty Armstrong. Sorosis beat Kappa last night, 11 to 6. Dorothy Cowan, Virginia Finkbeiner, Edith Flack, Edna Kandelin, Mary Richardson, and Olive Reed have been practicing their riflery with great diligence. Bowling Begins At arbour.. . Next Tuesday the dance club will give a Christmas exhibition. Same will be presented in the W.A.B. that afternoon, and tea will follow the per-1 formance. Beatrice Lovejoy, Beverly Jenness, Shinsil Kim, Leada Miller and Virginia Brigham have been working long and hard on it. After rigorous tryouts the swimming club has settled into a picked bunch of aquatics. Bettie Baker, Anita Car- valho, Neva Dilley, Jean Hendrian, Helene Higgino, Virginia Keilholtz, Charlotte Meredith, Twila Traber and Rowena Lacoste are often seen thrashing around the Union pool. Rowena recently won a yellow and blue"M" scarf from ,WA.A. for completing two seasons of participation. . Bowling begins today when the club meets at 4:30 in Barbour. Elsie Waier is high scorer for women this week, with a snappy 184, and Stanley Strine leads the men with a high 224. Louise Patterson, Roberta Moore, Betsy Anderson and Eleanor Peschke are ardent devotees who practice daily.

There was one of the largest attendances of the year. A marked contrast was noted be- tween the first two numbers in the first half of the program; the first composition, the symphony of Haydn in G major, No. 88 is a decidedly classical score while Prokofieff's or- chestral suite "Lieutenant Kije," is a comparatively new composition which tends towards the modern. The Hay- dn Symphony showed a small wind instrument section with the string in- struments dominaiing throughout. The audience was particularly recep- tive to "Lieutenant Kije." The second movement (Romance) was played by i t a l 1. a string base. There was a great deal of musical variety throughout the remainder of the composition. The second half of the program was Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. . 43 by Sibelius, a living composer. ORMAL CHOIR 200 VOICES AS MUsC XANDER, Conductor s.

This naturally involves a great deal of work, and it is for this reason that plans are being formulated early. Each performance will last one and a half hours and will be presented 186 days, four times each day. PARISITOLOGISTS MEET Prof. E. C.

E An electric range is the gift of gifts .. . something every woman wants and hopes some day to own. An electric range is more than just another stove: It combines SIX GIFTS in one. O The gift of kitchen freedom. An electric range brings extra hours of lei- sure to do the things you enjoy most. You can put your whole meal in the electric oven and go out for the after- noon. A Timer Clock (available at small additional cost) turns the oven on and off at the proper time. When you come home your dinner is waiting, perfectly cooked-piping hot and ready for the table. The gift of cleanliness. An electric range cooks with pure heat from a glow- ing wire-heat as clean as sunlight. You will enjoy the ease with which you can keep your kitchen bright and sparkling, with less frequent redecorating expense and practically no scouring of utensils. t The gift of better meals. Electric cooking has a delicious natural flavor. There is nothing else like it. Meats and vegetables cook to melting tenderness in their own juices. You'llbe amazed at the difference electric cooking makes in ALL your recipes. The gift of healthful cooking. The waterless cooking method is at its best on an electric range. Precious minerals and important food values are sealed-in ... not boiled away in excess water and poured down the sink. O The gift of comfortable cooking. In hot summer weather, an electric range does not raise the temperature of the kitchen, even one degree, by actual test. 1 The gift of modernness. Electric stoves installed ten years ago still look as good as the day they were installed. An electric range will often beautify the entire kitchen. Electric cooking is the finest cooking that money can buy ... and today, you don't need a great deal of money to buy it! Electric range prices are now so mod- erate that you can purchase an electric range for about the cost of an average stove of comparable size and features. This Christmas, choose the gift that will serve the entire family .... surprise her with a new, modern, sparkling ELECTRIC RANGE! See the new electric ranges on display at department stores, electrical dealers and at all Detroit Edison offices. ,: ":.. Did You Know T HAT this year marks the hundred and sixtieth anniversary of THE DECLA- RATION OF INDEPENDENCE. Ironically enough the LIBERTY BELL that rang forth the birth of a new nation was cast in Whitechapel, London, in the year 1753 by Thomas Lister. Due to un- usual brittleness it was necessary to twice recast it. Contrary to general opinion the bell did not crack while pealing forth the glad tidings of Independence but while toll- ing a knell for the death of Chief Justice Marshall in 1835. The young nation of 1781 was founded on individual initiative and endeavor. It has become the world's most prosperous country by adhering to this principle that the Liberty Bell heralded from its brazen throat one hundred and sixty years ago. T HE MICHIGAN DAILY believes that in- dividual initiative and effort as coordi- nated by its heads is the cornerstone of effi- cient service. It seeks to apply wherever possible individual attention to the needs of its readers and advertisers. Since 1890 The Daily has been an integral part of the University life. In that year it became a student publication under the Board in Control of Student Publications. Its size and prosperity has grown with that of the University and Town until today it stands as one of the best college papers in the country. The Daily is proud of its University, proud of its Town, and cher- ishes the esteem in which it is held. The Michigan Daily invites an inspection of the unusual facilities it offers in the way of news and advertising. ' I F
