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.'

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.)

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. I VARIATIONS on a classical theme -I 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 L .r- "l R) f a .. ' a f ,.r---- ; After a long class.
