THURSDAY, DEC. 14, 1939 THE MICHIGAN1-:D A'L Y Crease Ball WillBe Held In League Ballroom On Mai reb 29 7 Michigan Student From Baogdad Has Had International Education By RHODA LESHINE Truly an international figure is Georges Sabagh, '42, of Bagdad, Iraq. His mother was born in Constantin- ople and his father in Palestine, both are of Spanish descent and now teach French in Bagdad. Obsprved Sabagh, "I came to the United States in June to spend my summer vacation, and here it's De- cember and I'm attending the Uni- versity. Glad To Remain "But don't misinterpret me," he hastily added, "I'm extremely happy to be here. When the. war situation becomes acute in middleAugust and my parents wired me to remain here, I was only too glad to do so." Sabagh explained that he had no military obligations as Iraq is only; under the supervision of England' since the World War. Noticing the puzzled expression of the interviewer, Sabagh enlightened her by explain- ing that Iraq was formerly part of Turkey but, since the Treaty of Ver- sailles in 1919, is a separate country. At 14 Sabagh won 4 four-year scholarship to a French normal school. "Then I passed an examina- tion," he added, "enabling me to re- turn to the Near East to teach the French language and civilization. Resided In London "However, I crossed the Channel to England, instead, where I studied English. In September, had not the international crisis interfered, I would have entered the School of Economics at the University of London." Making his decision to remain ni the States, Sabagh was recommended to Michigan by his advisers at the International House in New York City where he had attended the sum- mer session. Because of the differ- ent system of education in the French and English schools in which he was 9i Santa Caus Hurries Hobby House Painting In order that Santa may slide down the chimney of the Hobby House in- to a finished room, there will be a group of painters there from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. today. The committee in charge of this Women's Athletic Association pro- ject wants to have the wood work painted before the holiday starts. In order to accomplish this, Jane Bri- chan, '41, chairman of the commit- tee,..has requested that as many people as possible work. there today. HOLI DAY GLAMOR! educated, the University admitted him with sophomore standing. Asked to comment on the existing war in regard to its effect on Iraq, Sabagh replied, "At present we are not involved, but we are southeast of Turkey, and may become an impor- tant factor because of this position. Iraq is a valuable petroleum source. Prophesis2s Serious Trouble He prophesied, "The more serious trouble will be at the conclusion of the war. Countries such as Syria and Palestine will struggle to free themselves from the mandate of France and England." Questioned, about his impressions of the American "Coed," Sabagh smil- ingly, answered "The woman in the United States is much more fashion- able but less interested in politics 'than her foreign sister." Then, glancing hesitatintly at his interrogator, but seeing an encourag- ing nod to be frank, Sabagh con- cluded, "The weaker sex here is more social minded than it is in Europe. And also, may I add, socially, Michi- gan women are extremely indepen- dent." Bright Colors Are .Featured in Spartwear Skating, hiking, skiing, hayrides and many other occasions as well as classes demand that young women pay attention to- their sports outfits as well as to their tea dresses and formals, and keep up with the ever new and varying styles. Tyrolean sweaters with their bright colors, which would .make, 1 anyone feel gay, are storming the country in spite of the war in Eu- rope. Many of the patterns are of heavy, fancy weaves and all of them have some embroidery on them. These unique sweaters come in both long sleeves and short, and are fastened down the front with silver buttons of a symmetrical design. The edges are trimmed with a bright color, to off- set the embroidered little peasant boys and girls, flowers, trees and Annual Dance Committeemen Are Announced Co-Chairmen Jack Owens And Charles Humphries Will Head Law Formal Crease Bal, annual lawyers' at- tempt to prove the superiority of the legal mind over that of the engineer- ing mind in the giving of formal dances, will be held Friday, March 29 in the League ballroom, co-chair- man Charles Humphries, '40L, and Jack Owens, '40L, announced yes- terday.
