Deviating radically from the regu- lar run-of-the-mill tea dance, the "Defense Stomp" will be held from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. today in the League Ballroom and will feature Joan Reutter, '43, Miss Michigan of Song, on the vocal choruses with Gordon Hardy and his new ten-piece band. Change In Stamps With each ticket the purchaser receives part of the price back in defense stamps, which in itself defi- nitely makes this dance one of those "worthy causes." Also, upon enter- ing the' ballroom each person re- ceives a sealed envelope--one color fornthe women and another for the men. Inside some of these envelopes are defense stamps. When the announce- ment is made -half-way through the dance to open them, men dancing with women holding defense stamps .receive a door prize and vice-versa. All this rigmarole with the sole pur- pose of promoting mixing. Door Prizes Offered For the women, the V-Dance Com- mittee, sponsors of tlfe dance, have perfume, linen handkerchiefs and much "prioritized" stockings, and for the men, wallets, Argyle socks, ties and shirts, all coming from local merchants who havd been more than generous with their contributions. Assisting Bud Cox, general chair- man, on the committee for the dance are Phil Whelan, '45, Jean Mills, '44, Margot Thom, '42, Margaret Gard- ner, '43, Keith Watson, '42, Jak Ed- monson, '42, Ed Tann, '42, Kay Joles, '45, and Virginia Dodd, '45.

When writing to your A-1 draftee any long strings of x's along the bottom of the page will be blacked out by the censors-.a possi- ble coded signals. In the last war enemy agents re- sorted to love letters, chess games and dress patterns as means of con- veying (military signals, and by way of profiting from experience army officials are taking absolutely no chances whatsoever. How do they know whether your rows of x's are pledges of undying love or plans for a surprise bombing of the camp? Suggested substitutes include a lipstick imprint of the kiss on the letter or the number 88, the "ham" radio symbol, for "love and kisses." The simple statement "I would like to kiss you 365 times" (the number varying with the intensity of the emotion) is perhaps the best solu- tion to this new defense measure, for although the Army isn't trying to interfere with your love life, it is necessary to take the utmost precau- tions during war times. Murtagh-Beardsell Wedding Announced Stomp Will Be Held Today In League Ballroom Student Interviews Reveal Value Spring Success Story Of Red Cross Defense CoursesI By PHYLLIS PRESENT Red Cross defense courses have been offered by the Michigan League since the first semester of the pres- ent year. At the beginning only courses in first aid, home nursing and motor mechanics were given. There were five classes in first aid, 'two in home nursing, and one class in motor mechanics. The first aid course meant a two-hour period of class with quizzes once a week at the League. Home nursing was a two- dour period of class plus an hour of pictice held at Health Service, and motor mechanics was a two-hour period of class and practical w/ork given at University High School. Courses Added Added to these courses mentioned above, this semester advanced first aid, child care, Braille, nutrition and nurses' aide are sponsored by the Red Cross. Besides all those, under the physical education department, co- recreational leadership and body- conditioning classes are held. Type- writing is also offered at University High Schol as a defense course. These classes have all been more than filled. We interviewed some of the women .on campus who completed the first semester courses. Lorraine Judson, '43 made this statement: "The first course in first aid was very complete. Even though 3tudents don't put hours of time on the course (although everyone must' study to pass), I believe it is worth- while, as you learn at least what not to do-which is very important. The quizzes were very good, but I suggest that even more practical problems be given for the students to work out." Miss Dixon Says Ann Dixon, '43, said: "The first aid course was very practical and a good basic foundation. I suggest that it be followed by the advanced course in first aid, if possible, though. The best part of the course was bandagesE and traction, for practical 'everydayf use. Joanne Gross, '43, who had just1 completed her home nursing course as it continued through the second semester said, "This course is ex- cellent, because it can be used in peace time as well as during the war.' You learn how to take care of every- Mne from babies to the aged. In the last war a girl who had had only -ome nursing training was in charge Af a tent with 60 soldiers in it. Miss Gross, who is now taking first aid, suggests that home nursing either be followed up by nurses' aide or first aid courses. . Nancy Griffin, '44, remarked, "Home nursing is more practical than any course that I have taken in a long time, as it's something you'll use all your life. It teaches you per- sonal, public health and mental hy- giene. The course is taught in a very1 practical manner as we actually worked around sick people in the Iealth Service." Careful Study Needed Miss Griffin, who just finished her home nursing course, also took firstj aid last semester. This semester she is taking advanced first aid, and up- on completing that expects to enter the instructor's course, soon to be offered. She said concerning first aid, "It must be taken seriously, and carefully learned, as one only parti- ally trained might step into a situa- tion and make an awful blunder." "Charlie" Boyd, '43, stated, "Motor mechanics was so interesting that I'm taking the advanced course now. WeI 'wore slacks, though the first classes were not practical lessons as we had too much to learn about engines. At least I can change a good tire now. I think the advanced course is very necessary to get the full value of the first one. With first aid and motor mechanics training, one can become a member of the Motor Corp." Pencil And Flashlight Combination Is Last Word For Blackouts The latest precaution for black- outs has appeared on the market in the form of lead pencils equipped with flashlight bulbs enclosed in the glass barrel. They are capable of throwing more than enough light to enable writing in total darkness. Not only will they prove a great asset to air raid wardens, but will also come in handy for taking notes at lectures or theatres, or jotting down phone messages if you happen to be caught in one of those phone booths with the light burned out. SJust a twist of the barrel and the light flashes on. These nifty little novelties come in either white and red, or white and blue color combina- tions. Interviews To Begin Interviewing for positions on WAA Board will be held from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. today, 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. tomorrow, and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, at the WAB. All those who petitioned must be, interviewed at one of these times, according to Donelda Schaible, president. Compact W ith Spotlight IThey're sellingarma nxif1I t I j Are Michigan Outing Club Week-Ends Filled With Various Activities By LOIS SHAPIRO Activities galore--that is what the Michigan Outing Club has planned for the remainder of the Sundays and weekends of second semester. Under the sponsorship of Libby Mahlman, '43, representing WAA, and Dan Saulson, '44, representing the Union, and advised by Miss Ruth Johnson, the club promotes youth hosteling, which consists of biking, hiking and cooking. At 2:30 p.m. Sunday, the group will leave the WAB for their "'Windmill Wander" out Geddes Avenue to the old windmill. "Bring your lunch" is the standard saying for this group, as cook-outs are the order of the day, unless weather forbids, in which case the indomitables retire to the WAB for their supper cooking. Plan Cook-Out t Sunday, March 15, will find the club setting off on a "Saginaw Saun- ter," to Forester's Fancy where they will peak at the little log cabin, climb the Ranger Tower and finish with a cook-out under the evergreens. A breakfast horse-back ride will be the main attraction on Sunday, March 22, while for the following Saturday, March 28, a biking hostel is planned to Pinckney. To complete a strenuous weekend, a hike will be held the next day, "just to condition you for things to come." Miss Mahl- man says. Saturday, April 11., will find the group bound for Pinckney on their bikes again, with lunch packed, as usual, while Sunday, ghost stories will reign around the campfire after a refreshing hike. Trip To Dexter A trip to Dexter Siate Park is scheduled for Sunday, April 1, and a hostel trip to Saline over Saturday and Sunday, April 25 and 26, will keep 'em on the move. Hosteling to Pleasant Lake or Pinckney will fill the weekend of May 2 and 3, and if it is warm enough, swimming will be in order. Winding up a grand program will be a paddle party and picnic along the Huron, Sunday, May 10, and a hostel outing with swimming the weekend of May 16 and 17.

Birds, Plumes Bedeck Newest Seasonal Hats The new spring hair-dos-up at the ear, fluff on the forehead, require certain shaped hats and the fashion leaders have not neglected this factor in their seasonal chapeaux. The newest of these spring styles Pz exemplified in the model pictured above which consists of a close fit- ting crown bedecked with a brilliant ornamental bird perched above the forehead. The ingenious woman can alternate the ornament with either multi-colored plumes to match her newest suit and accessory combina- tion or with a black velvet bow for the "strictly dress" occasion. The new calots are as perky as they are durable. Crochet one be- tween knitting Red Cross sweaters and don't forget to add a brush fringe of the same wool in the back. Several department stores are offer- ing calots of wool to match their classic suits and suggest a jewelled pin for wear on either the calot or the lapel of the suit when a dressy touch is needed. Perennial sailor hats are back this year but in a new and exciting style. A tiny, straw version of the sailor hat is perched on the front of the smooth "upped" pompadour. Then, ever popular, is the saucer-rimmed sailor style which is always a flat- tering choice for a "suit" hat. Another brand new seasonal sport hat is a straw with a deep crown, and, for that note to carry out the color of your outfit-wool fringe around the brim and a twisted cord of the same wool around the crown. The brim is wide and flattering to the face.
