tremendous popularity among Ann
Arborites in the spring, and which
is receiving more and moreatten-
tion in the Physical .Education De-
partment of the University is canoe-
ing. It was not included in the cur-
riculum as a class activity in last
year's program, but this year there
is a course offered in canoeing which
may be elected as a sport require-
:rent.
Probably one of the most attrac-
tive things about canoeing is its
popularity among both men and wo-
men and its splendiq. "date" possibil-
ity. In fact, the "Island" and the
Huron River have become tradition-
al at school, along with the Arbore-
tum.
In class instruction is given in the
various strokes used in paddling.
There are, of course, two paddlers-
the bow paddler, who sits in the front
of the canoe, and whose function is
mainly to help the stern paddler,
who. is in the rear of the canoe and

which moves the boat forward; the
pull-to and the push-away are bow
strokes. to aid steering or turning.
The j-stroke, which is most com-
monly used, is a steering stroke for
the stern.
- Canoe safety is also an essential
part - of the class , program. Among
important items considered are hand-
ling o-f;canoes, and their proper care,
getting canoes: in and out of the
water, which Miss Westcott, who is
the instructor for the course, claims
is one of the major ways by which
canoes are:"ruined. Proper selection of
paddles and equiphient for safety are
also taught.
Later on in the season, when the
river water gets warm enough, vari-
ous canoe stunts will be practised.
Bobbing is one of the favorite feats.
The canoe is left empty, with the
exception of the person who stands
up .on the stern deck, who jumps up,
and, down. The object is to stay in
the canoe. Borrowed from the
"knights of old" is "jousting" in
which each person stands up in his
canoe while someone else paddles,
each has a long pole with padded
end and attempts to knock the other
person down in the other canoe. Tip-
ping and getting in and out of a canoe
are also included.

Her
Viewpoint
by.VICKI
No woman now an undergraduate
in the University can remember the
pre-League-Building days. No one
can recall the time when women's
multifarious activities were carried on
in corners of Barbour Gym, the days
when Dean Lloyd went home with
a nightly headache during JGP prac-.
tice period after listening to the con-
stant thump of choruses rehearsing
over her head all day.
This year marks the tenth anni-
versary of the League. To those of
us who are now in school the thought
of that anniversary brings no sense
of the reality of achievement, but to
three-Jean Holland-Dorothy Ship-
man and Betty Slee-the recent con-
vention of Women Students' delegates
held at the University of Kansas
brought home a very real apprecia-
tion of the League.
The convention 'brought together
representatives of widely varied
schools. The Big Ten sent dele-
gates, as did several Californian
universities, Cornell and Pennsyl-
vania State College. There were
small schools and large represented,
co-educational and women's, nor-
thern and southern.
The surprising fact was that among
that group the delegates from Michi-
gan were regarded as experts on
women's governing bodies. Almost
none of the universities represented
had a building corresponding to our
League, most of them were attempt-
ing to devise a merit system similar
to ours and were anxious to find oat
all they could about ours.
In view of this fact Michigan
seems justified in regarding herself
as a leader in women's governing or-
ganizations. This supremacy is due
to the foresight and initiative of the
women who preceed us by several
years, and not less so to the women
of the University's administration
who helped make the League possible.

Sorority Women
4 pprove Changes
In Rushing Rules
Changes in the rushing rules for
1939 were approved by a dlecisive ma-
jority of : the women attending the
Panhellenic mass meeting held at
4:30 p.m. .yesterday in the ballroom
of the League. . .
Discussion was held on the sugges--
tion that the rushing period be cut to
a two, week period, instead of three,
with informal -parties every day the
first week and two formal parties
during the- second. -
The recommendation that orches-
tras be eliminated for the informal
parties, but made permissible for the
two formal parties was also approved
by the group, as was the suggestion
that dessert and coffee be served in-
stead of the full dinner, thereby
cutting .down on the major rushing
expense.
The new system of fines which goes
into effect next fall was explained
and received the approval of - the
women.
