The German table meets one night each week, under the direction of Mr. Frank Ryder, who holds a diploma from Heidel- berg University. This group will soon be expanded and will prob- ably include different tables for beginners and advanced linguists. La table francais-French Table to you engineers- meets six times a week, and is supervised by Monsieur Bertram Smith, a graduate of the University of Louvain, Belgium. This table is reported to be doing exceed- ingly well, with about fifty students participating. Every two weeks the table holds an exchange dinner with groups from the women's residence halls. So far, tbey've exchanged with French Tables from Stockwell, Betsy Barbour, Helen Newberry, Mosher and Jordan. Nice work, if you parlez francais. (For trans- lation see Mr. Smith).

Third Round Results Announced ByIntramlural Debate Director Ann. Arbor Here Is Today's News In Summary Henry Timmer, Grand Rapids, was treated at St. Joseph's Mercy Hos- pital for injuries after his car had side-swiped a truck driven by Robert Riley, Ypsilanti, just south of Stein Road. In Circuit court, Judge George Sample approved a dismissal of a $10,000 damage suit brought by Mrs. Maggie Latham. The suit asked for compensation for injuries incurred in an accident last November 6. Judge George Sample sentenced Grant Mohrlock, Chelsea, 90 days in jail and fined him $50 yesterday when he pleaded guilty yesterday for vio- lating probation. Only last week Judge Sample placed Mohrlock on two year's probation. on a disorderly charge. Mohrlock was re-arrested af- ter his release. JGP play was the Dean of Women, Mrs. Jordan. Entitled, "Don Quixote," the play was a take-off on romantic customs. The play was given to an audience composed entirely of women the eve- ning of Swing-Out, which occurred during the last of April. The seniors appeared at the play following Swing-Out in their caps and gowns, which they continued to wear each Tuesday and Thursday until graduation. In Sarah Caswell Angell Hall, on the second floor of Barbour Gym- nasium, junior women gathered to give impromptu skits. Scenery and costumes were not elaborate, since the main object was to entertain the senior women and to provide an extra-curricular activ- ity besides athletics in which juniors could participate. Given in the spirit of fun it was not unusual to see the dean of wo- men or a prominent alumna appear unexpectedly in the final perform- ance. This was possible because from the very beginning the plays were written to include as many junior women in the cast as possible. During the 1920's men were allowed to see the all-girl productions. Later the public was allowed to see the performances. With the construction of the Mich- igan League and the Lydia Mendels- sohn Theatre in 1928 the project was J enlarged. Scenery became more elaborate and costumes and properties in keeping with the period portrayed. The sale of tickets to the theatre seating more than 700 allowed the junior women to Textiles Are On Display Several examples of Balinese and Javanese textiles, taken from the collection of Professor and Mrs. Ev- erett Brown, are being displayed daily in the main floor exhibit cases of the Architecture Building. expand the project into one of thel largest student activities.
