Senior Ball Will Be Held
June 14; Miller To Play
Tickets for the sixty-seventh an-
nual Senior Ball will be on sale from
2 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the League and
Union.
Price of the tickets is $4. Only
women may purchase tickets in the
League, and both men and women
at the Union. There will be 100 tick-
ets on sale at the League; group
buying will be limited to 15. Sale
is restricted to those bearing senior
identification cards, Richard Adams,
'40, chairman, announced.
Glenn Miller and his band will
play for the annual ball which will
be held from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. Fri-
day, June 14 in the Sports Building.
Miller's regular vocalists, Ray Eber-
ly and Marion Hutton, will be feat-
ured with the orchestra. The or-
chestra's reputation as a top swing
band is well known, and in a recent
collegiate poll, he received four times
as many votes as any other leading
band.
Belt Watch Saves Time
To protect your wrist watch from
jars from classroom doors a new belt
watch will be a time saver. Set
in leather, the wafer thin watch is
hung with the dial facing upward
from a braided leather belt. It can
be removed and pinned to the lapel
of your sports jacket or to your purse.
Ey lElS HARVEY
"We joined thc navy to see
the world.
And what did we see? We
aw- the sea."
So goes a ppIar ditty, and Roger
Norton, Jr., '40, now: Ensign Norton
,f the U.iS. Naval Air Station, will
estifyv to the truth of the statement.
Norton, who left the University in
the middle of his junior year to
join the navy, has just "gotten his
wings," wi-iich is the equivalent of
a flier's license for the navy, and
he will now be on duty at Charles-
ton, S. C., flying patrol ships over
the United States neutrality zone.
Two years at an accredited col-'
lege or university and the ability to
pass strict mental and physical ex-
rninations are the prerequisites for
iiavy fliers. The course begins with
a month's training at an elimination
base in California as a second-class
seaman, and those who look like
good material are sent to Pensacola
°or intensive flight training, former-
ly of a year's duration, but now re-
duced to six months.
At Pensacola, over 700 cadets (and
the number is rapidly increasing)
get a thorough pilot training includ-
ing instrument or "blind" flying,
target bombing and stunting. They
learn to fly several different types

of planes, mostly open cockpit or
hooded rather than cabin type.
When asked if his course included
practice in parachute jumping. Nor-
ton replied, "No, why should it?
You've got to do thai. right le1 first
time."
Nervy and quick thinking are es-
sential qualities in any flier, and
there are many stories that prove
the coolness and even humor with
which cadet and instructor alike
face dangerous situations.
One student, for example, was
soloing when a pea-soup fog hurried
in from the Gulf. The officials at
the landing field radioed that it
would be dangerous to attempt to
come down, and ordered him to fly
inland in hopes of outrunning the
fog and land at another airport.
But the pilot, being very nearly out
of gas, found it necessary to use his
pwn judgment, and he radioed back
with grim humor, "Get into the
hangars and shut the doors. I'm
coming in anyway."
Better Posture
Helps Women,1
States .Dr. Bell
By MAYA GRUIIZIT
"On the whole, the Michigan wo-
man's posture is much better than
that of 10 years ago," Dr. Margaret
Bell commented.
This change, Dr. Bell averred, seems
to have been effected by the in-
creased stimulation of interest in wo-
men's athletics in high schools, col-
leges, and athletic clubs over the
United States. Physical education
departments, in particular have!
aimed at exercise, not for the sake
of pure exercise but at true physical
education in order to aid young wo-
men physically, mentally, and social-
ly.
About 600 freshman women each
year are required to enroll for physi-
