All representatives of song sections who wish to witness the procedure are invited to attend, Donelda Schaible, '42, song chair- man, announced. Dormitory, sorority, and zone groups will stage the annual melody tournament May 20 at the tradition- al ceremony sponsored by the WAA. Against the natural surroundings of Palmer Field, three professors of the School of Music will judge the merits of participators, and award the song cup which last year was won byI Kappa Delta. Senior women annually pass to their successors Japanese lanterns in a ceremony symbolic of the con- tinuous student life on campus. Green hair-ribbons will distinguish the class of '40 from the juniors, with yellow bows, and sophomores in red. The service will open with a pro- cession from the Main Library to Palmer Field, where the contest will be held. A police escort will precede the cortege, followed by the Michigan band, which will play traditional marching songs. Jane Grove, '41, president of the WAA; Lee Hardy, '41, president of the League; Doris Merker, '41, president of Judiciary Council; Annabel VanWinkle, '41, president of Panhellenic Association, Patricia .Walpole, '41, president of Assembly, will be the five senior leaders to precede the rest of the participators in the line of march. 1 i GLENN MILLER anflce Tickets To Go n Sae 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 ,Chapter House Activity Notes 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.

With such a program planned and in working condition, women who are checked as below average in posture are given every opportunity to over- come their deficiencies. This work is not at all compulsory, stated Dr. Bell, but an effort is made to inter- est the women in individual enter- prise. "Posture can be a great psycho- logical influence," Dr. Bell continued.
