"My ;schooldays are the unhap- piest I remember," she declared, busily setting up two pictures of the same man on her dresser. "I quit when I was fifteen, after being kick- ed out of every school for not study- ing. You see, the teachers were annoyed beause I passed anyway. Does that happen here?" The Daily reporter evaded thequestion. Two night letters to the effect "This place is divine" were then sent -one to her mother, Michael Strange, an authoress and ,John Barrymore's second wife, and one to a New York actor. "There's some- thing alout American men," she sighed, explaining that after years of residence in Europe she was qual- ified to know. The telephone kept interrupting, and Miss Barrymore alternately refused and accepted in- vitations. Declining to label herself a career woman, she did admit she would like to combine her stage career and marriage, and that she was looking for her "ideal man." "He'll have to be someone who is broadminded about his wife's acting, and prefer- ably not an actor . . . you just can't have two egotists under the same roof." Miss Barrymore insisted, in her strongly marked English accent, that she was as interested in Mich- igan coeds as in Michigan men, and expressed the desire to learn about college life while she is here. In rehearsal now, "The Winter's Tale," in which she will take part, opens Tuesday, and will run one week. Mady Christians, the Viennese ac- tress, has the lead. Princess uliana And Child Flee War Petitioning For Cabaret To End 5 P.M. Friday Twelve Leading Positions On Central Committee Available To Freshmen Twelve positions on the central committe of Sophomore Cabaret are) open for petitioning to all eligible freshman women through 5 p.m. Fri- day in the Undergraduate Office of the League. Chairmen to be appoint- ed include general chairman, booths, exhibits, dance, costumes, publicity, music, tickets, hostesses, decorations,1 finance, and recorder. Duties for each of the committee heads will be mainly in an executive capacity over the work to be done by each committee. Ideas for the theme and organization of the Cab- aret will be accepted either with the petition or at the time of the inter- viewing which will take place at a later date. In previous years exhibits, a floor show, dancing and an elaborately carried out theme have combined to make the Sophomore Cabaret, usu- ally presented in the early part of December, one of the outstanding class activities. The Sophomore Cab- aret of 1940 will be the 13th annual affair of this kind. The theme of the Cabaret of two years ago was "Deep Sea Doodles." At this time the League Ballroom was decorated to look like "Davy Jones' Locker" with an imitation of under- sea life. This past year the idea of a "Winter Wonderland" was carried out with the ballroom turned into a skating rink surrounded by snow banks and winter scenery. Each year approximately 150 to 200 women work on the plans for the Cabaret, plan its theme, and then do the work in the various committees of carrying out this theme through- out the music, decorations, dances, costumes, exhibits and in the public- ity accorded the function. Late Permission Given For Dramatic Season Late permission has been extended to those women attending the pro- ductions of the present dramatic sea- son, Doris Merker, '41, head of the judiciary council of the League, an- riounced'. One half hour after the final cur- tain will be allowed before latenesses will be charged. However, this does not apply to freshmen, who will be required to keep the usual hours dur- ing the week, with weekends free to see the performances. Lantern Night Will Continue Old Tradition By FRANCES AARONSON Lantern Night services, termed by a May, 1929, Daily, "The greatest of all Michigan traditions for wo- men," has gone through a long meta- morphosis in form, although the symbolic significance of junior re- ' placement of graduating seniors has been kept intact. In 1929, the ceremony was pre- ceded by field events at 5 p.m. "A picnic supper will follow-as soon as it is dark enough, the march of classes will begin.-The ceremony is to be concluded by the singing of the junior and senior Lantern songs." That was the year that classes were distinguished by jackets of differ- ent colors. A freshman pageant opened the festivities of 1931, with the history of music done in dance form. 1933 brought an added attraction, "Sen- iors will pass through the wreathed arches held by juniors;" aesthetic dancing classes then performed their version of "The Cycle of the Hours," as an entertainment feature. This year the ceremony is to start with a parade from the Main Li- brary to Palmer Field. At one. time a high school orchestra was hired to provide the musical background, but this year the Michigan band will lead the procession to the tune of school marching songs.

Foresters--iall Will Be Seeie OfLog Drive Panel sketches form the nucleus around which the foresters are plan- ning decorations for their annual spring dance to be held from 9 p.m. to a.m. Friday in the Women's Athletic Building. In describing decorations, David Reid, '40F&C, general chairman, and Jim Halligan, '40F&C, publicity chairman, said that there would be four of these panels, each one de- picting some stage in logging opera- tions from the lumberer to the mill. To create the illusion of a forest, the panel sketches as well as other ob- jects featured in the decorations will be framed with pine branchlets. The Forestry Club emblem will be silhouetted against a white back- ground opposite the main entrance and the lights and doorway will be decorated with pine branches. Scenes portrayed by the four large panel sketches are the felling and skidding operations, the actual log drive, and the final stage at the lum- ber mill and near the mill pond. Small panel drawings showing logging tools and their uses will decorate the wall leading onto the terrace. Ray Carey and his Campus Knights will play for the semi-formal "Log Drive," to which all the foresters and their friends are invited. VoteApproves Revised Rules Of P anihellentic A unanimous vote yesterday at a meeting of Panhellenic in the League approved the revision of the Pan- hellenic constitution and of the new rushing rules. After discussions at the individual houses the delegastps, representing their various houses, voted for the following revisions. Appointment of officers to the executive council will be made at the same time that League positions are announced, in order to avoid conflicts in appoint- ments. Also, each house shall have three representatives to Panhellenic council; the president of the house, junior rushing officer, and one es- pecially elected delegate who will be either a sophomore or a junior. Under the new Dean's ruling, all freshmen must live in the dormitory, although exceptions were made this year to the by-law that no freshmen might live in sorority houses. As was done this fall, a 10 day rushing period will be continued with dessert and coffee parties taking the place of informal dinners. Flowers and decorations for rushing must not total more than 25 dollars and enter- tainment of rushees must be done only by members of the house. A restriction of four piece orchestras has been emphasized for the two for- mal dinners.
