'Winter Carnival
Still To Be Held
Next Semester
All good things come if you wait,,
watch and pray long enough. You'll
get the toy trumpet you longed for as
a child when you have a long grey
beard, just as the Union staff got its
prayed-for snow when final exams
are just around the corner.
It's too late now, however, to do
anything about it. The much-herald-
ed Winter Carnival will take place at
the beginning of the new semester,
according to Don West, '43, and Don
Harness, '43, co-chairmen of publici-
ty for the carnival.
Carving Will Be Featured
One of the features of the carn-
ival will be the snow-carving con-
test. The fame of snow carvers from{
other schools has spread throughout
the collegiate world, but inasmuch as
it is Michigan's first chance at it,
works of great art will hardly be ex-
pected.
Anyone can try his hand at mod-
eling. The entries will be amateur
works, probably based on the inspira-
tion of the moment. Judging will.be
on the basis of originality and im-
pressiveness, and will take place the
Sunday following the Saturday on
whichthe outdoor eventsatake place.
Judges Are Announced
West and Harness specified that
each entry should have a sign placed
near the exhibit, telling just what
the entry is supposed to be (conces-
sion to amateurs).
Judges will be Prof. Walter J. Gores
of the decorative design department
of the School of Architecture, Miss
Catherine Helter, also of the decora-
tive design department, and Marga-
ret Whittemore, '41, member of the
League Council.
Play To Be.Given
Scenes from Hanilet will be given
by the class in Speech Interpretation
at 7:15 p.m. tomorrow in room 302
Mason Hall. A review of the princi-
pal scenes from the play will be given
and all persons interested are invited
to attend the program.'

As Glory Of Man Takes Over
s
Dear lip-trembling, lily-fingered
angels of the earth, dear lovely un-
derstanding visions of delight, Dear
Women:
Smelling faintly of lavender and
old lace you will drape your bodies in
finery on St. Valentine's Eve and be
carried off on the arm of some gal-
lant young man to display your beau-
ties at the Junior Hop.
If nature has been kind to you,
saccharine mists of fine words will
be sprayed over you and sweet noth-
ings whispered in your delicate, pink
cars.
The whole business started some-
where back in the miasmal murk,
maybe when two sorts of amoeba
developed. Then the poets got hold of
you, thought it was all give and no
take and heaven at that. Creation
endowed you with enough grace and
intelligence to keep quiet about the
whole business, to lie softly on silken,
couches with perfume in your hair.
Lord only knows why the game has
always been yours-maybe because
of the card you have hidden away.
At any rate you have never lost. You
made them give away kingdoms and
heads for your smile, you raised your
soft hand and they fell on their
knees.
But, dear ladies, sweet ladies, you
are only the minor half of humanity.
In terms of your conduct you are
parasites on the dignity of man. Let
me chide you gently, mild creatures.
The Don Juan who holds you in his
arms on St. Valentine's Eve is your
superior.
(Editor's Note: we cut three thous-
and more words of this, for it all leads
up to a commercial plug for the J-Hop
edition of The Daily to be published
Feb. 14, an edition in which the males
are supposed to prove the idea of
superiority.)
Prof. Hammet To Speak
Prof. Ralph Hammett will speak
on Mexico at today's meeting of the
Michigan Dames in the amphitheatre
of the Rackham Building. He will
illustrate his talk with colored slides.
Jacket Tops Al
Possessing an air of nonchalance
and warm comfort, this brief pock-
eted jacket proves a smart acces-
sory over sport sweaters and dresses.
Its boxy lines and trim length make
it adaptable for all occasions.

and schmaltz is defined as sweet and

tor Funk tells non-collegiates, is noth-
ing more than a failure.
To gander is to look, and oomph
doesn't refer to Ann Sheridan but to
anyone with "great personal magnet-
ism." Funk discloses that doodling
is "absent-minded scrolling or draw-
ing.
Thus, we see the American lan-
guage as a dynamic tongue ever gath-
ering momentum as it collects the
present coloring and international in-
fluences in its growth-and we can't
help wondering if a Rip Van Winkle
would be able to converse with us.

Gilbert Movie
To Be Shown'
' The late John Gilbert will star in
the Art Cinema League's third film
of their current series, "The Big
Parade," to be shown 8:15 p.m. Sun-
day in the Lydia Mendelssohn The-
atre.
No tickets will be sold for this
showing, since only holders of series
tickets will be admitted, Albert Stutz,
Grad., manager of the cinema league,
announced yesterday. "The Big Par-
ade" is one of the "famous films of
the past" group, and features the
famous comedian Slim Summerville,
as well as Gilbert and a cast con-
sidered "all-star" in the 1930's.

Boots March
Into Fashion
With Winter
"Tramp, tramp, tramp the boots
are marching down the diagonal eve-
ry stormy day," could well be the
new theme song of the Michigan
coed for she has at last accepted
the dictates of dame fashion and
dionned the boot as official footgear.
Last year on many campuses, the
women immediately took a liking to
this novel way of keeping their feet
dry, but the conservative dressers at
Michigan steered clear of this new
fad.
There were very few who had the
courage to put on these boots and
appear in public. Yes, they were
different from the ordinary overshoe,
but were they going to be a passing
fancy, and how would the men take
them?
The last question was soon an-
swered for no serious objections
seemed to be forthcoming from the
male element. The boot was prac-
tical and not too hard on the eyes.
And so, reluctantly at first, and then
with wholeheartedness, the boot ap-
peared. They were worn by the
BWOC as well as the hope-to-be
BWOC.
But there are many more pleasing
features about the finally accepted
boot. Lately new and smart ideas
have been incorporated. Colors
pleasing to all tastes instead of the
plain black or white have been
adapted.
Boots can now be had in a fiery
red, tans, green, and blues. There
are three main types of boots. Oise
of these is the fireman boot which,
as its name implies, is quite similar
to those worn by our fire eating
