Petitioning For Summer League Council Will Begin Today Four Positions For Semester To BeAvailtable Interviewing Will Be Conducted Next Week By Present Officers; Results To BeAnnounced Later Petitioning for the positions of sec- retary, social chairman, judiciary chairman, and publicity chairman on the summer League Council will be- gin today and continue until Satur- day noon. Interviewing will be May 11, 13, and 14, in the League, by the present judiciary council. A woman in any class, whether she is returning for the eight weeks session or full semester this summer, is eligible to petition. Since this is the first time that a full semester has been in progress during the summer, the council will be placed in a relatively new position. Emphasis will be placed on estab- lishing more direct relations with graduate students, Functions of the members of the council are varied. The officers will direct the official and social func- tions of the League all through the summer. The social chairman will arrange many of the campus affairs for both men and women. Week- end dances, perhaps some of them square dances, and defense work, will be two important projects for the summer council. All chairmen will be announced after interviews are held next week. However, members of the various League committees will not be decided upon until the summer session starts in order to give new students a chance to try for positions. Wyvern Women Tap 13 Leaders Of Class Of '44 Clad in the well-known yellow sweater, brown skirt and yellow hair ribbon combination, members of Wy- vern, junior women's honor society, tapped 13 women last night and cli- maxed their lengthy tapping spree by marching in and out the front door of the Union, singing and re- pelling the provoked Union men. The 13 chosen women who will wear the traditional garb on campus tomorrow are Dorothy Bales, Delta Gamma; Josephine Fitzpatrick, Gamma Phi Beta; Nancy Griffin, Pi Beta Phi; Rita Hyman, Alpha Epsilon Phi; Helen Kressbach, Alpha Phi; Jane Lindberg, Delta Gamma; Ann MacMillan, Alpha Phi; Marilyn May- er, Stockwell; Mildred Otto, Martha Cook; Sue Sims, Kappa Kappa Gam- ma; Esther Stevens, Chi Omega; Constance Taber, Stockwell ; and Morrow Weber, Kappa Alpha Theta. With tapping over, the women marched 32 strong down State St. and through the front door of the Union, much to the dismay of the Michigan men who, however, didn't feel equal to the protection of their time-honored custom. In fact, hardly a finger was raised against them--- "darn it," said Olga Gruhzit, leader of the mob Dessert and coffee was served later at the League during which time the new members were presented to Dean Bacher, adviser of the group. Margaret Dewey, president, deliveed the welcome address. Star Of 'No Time For Comedy' To Make Fifth Appearance Here * ______ WAA To Give Cup To Group. For Activities, i I Petitc,' Pornics die fTerre, Lucky Couple To Be Chosen For Free Ride "A stranger in town" is not the tag to attach to Doris Dalton; for when she takes her place in the Lydia Men- delssohn Theatre in the play, "No Time For Comedy," May 11, it will be her fifth appearance on an Ann Arbor stage. The spring of Miss Dalton's first year on the stage found her playing here. This event reoccurred in both her second and fifth years on the stage, while those who saw the Ann Arbor performance of "The Man Who Came to Dinner" remember Miss Dal- ton as the New York actress in the play. Attended Wellesley Miss Dalton was born in Boston, Mass., where she attended school. Her college days were spent at Well- esley and it was during this period, at the dge of eighteen, that she re- ceived her first offers for the pro- fessional stage. Robert Henderson and Mrs. Richard Mansfield saw her in amateur productions and offered parts on Broadway. While Miss Dalton had gone through the "lace curtain" period and "played at stage," this was the first time professional life had interested her. However, her parents objected so strongly that Doris, remained in school studying romance languages, when actually her heart was in New York. Joined Stock Company Following graduation, Miss Dalton tramped the streets along with hun- dreds of other aspiring actresses, try- ing to "get a break." One day she was having luncheon with five other girls. They planned a movie for the afternoon, and Doris went to an agent's office with them to wait while they applied for a job. Rather than just sit there she de- cided to submit her name along with the rest. This little gesture resulted in her first job with a stock company in New Britain, Conn. Radio Is More Stable Doris Dalton is now concentrating her attention on the radio. "It is more stable, in comparison to the erratic stage. Stars like Ina Claire are now out of work, because of the conditions of the theater." She of- DORIS DALTON' fered some statistics to support her1 view by saying that "nine out of every ten actresses are out of work." When asked what she would advise' young girls who are planning on making the stage their career, Miss Dalton said that, "No one can give advice; go ahead if you want to- but be sure you really want to, and find- out the truth about the stage first, not just the romantic stories you hear. "But don't believe what you hear about politics running everything in the theater. They are no more effec- tive here than in any other profes- sion. Doing your work well, is the best rule." With these words she said goodbye, looking very much like a coed herself, in grey flannel slacks, a red shirt, and a red ribbon tying back her blond curls. Meeting To B Held 1 A luncheon will be held for the Assembly Board at noon today in the Russian Tea Room to mark the last official meeting of the year. Accord- ing to Betty Newman, '43, Assembly president, tentative plans for next year will include putting out an As- sembly booklet of information for the freshmen. Next year's Orienta- tion Tea will be discussed. Besides a program of group sing- ing on Lantern Night, May 11, the WAA participation cup will be awarded, true to tradition, to the sorority house, dormitory or league hcuse zone, which has the highest average of participation in the vari- ous tournaments and clubs of the organization. The method used to arrive at the participation average, Esther Ste- vens, '44, awards manager, explains, is to divide the number of women in the house into the number of women who participate in sports during the year. This method reveals the percentage of the women who have taken part. Then, that same percentage is taken of the total number of points that the house has accumulated, and the final score toward the cup is reached. April to April is the season of par- ticipation, according to Miss Stevens. Plans for this year's system of award- ing include some improvements. There is to be a more complete filing system, which will enable WAA to inform houses concerning their amount of participation and their number of points at certain intervals during the year. Sports in which women may par- ticipate with a view toward winning the cup are: basketball, bowling, volleyball, fencing, ping-pong, swim- ming, golf, riflery, outdoor sports, dance, hockey, tennis, baseball, bad- minton and archery. Lists of all women who have taken part in any of the clubs or tourna- ments are turned in at the League at the end of the year and are con- sidered when League appointments are made. Defense Course 'Interiewing Will Be Today Interviewing will be held from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. today in the Un- dergraduate Office of the League, for all women interested in enrolling in the full-time, 13 week course in Sur- veying, Topographic Mapping and Photogrammetry for the National De- fense Mapping Program. This course, which will be held from July 6 to Oct. 3, is being planned by the College of Engineering, Sci- ence, and the Management Defense Training program of the U.S. Office of Education. Aeriall ho ' ograhis All we know is what we hear in the coffee hangout across from Angell Hall, but most of that which we hear is beginning to push a faint suspicionI into our mind that Play Production and its various adjuict courses breed a strange race of people, indeed. Most of it is in the carefully cultivated gestures that sweep by one's ear every minute or so as a Play Productioner-mellowed, as it were, in the technique of working up a fury with just the right amount of tempo and restraint until the final bombastic, sweeping passion of it all overwhelms him-makes a grab at the aii* the way Orson would do it, They Spjea'Of The DiahI&,,ui - Patr, of it is in the cultivation of the sibilant s's and the explosion of the final t's in the Barrymore tradition, both of which, when done in any de- gree, begin to slice at listeners' temples like an electric drill. And an even smaller segment of it is in the little set phrases which are used most pro- fusely by the Play Productioners whose only function behind the footlights is to screw them in. But the part of the whole setup to which we object most, is the de- velopment in most of the clan of a certain casual approach, combined with a grandiloquent phraseology in regard to any of the great arts or great men of learning. ih-Clarss Pla giarism. All this sounds just a trifle vague, we admit, but what we're trying to get across is the sort of conversation that we heard pulled off the other day: it was in the booth just behind us, and the modulated murmurs were getting a little louder-just as modulated mind you, but letting the larynx go just a bit. "But migod, Strain," the voice was saying, "you're crazy!-Why, Shaw is only a combination of Plato, Ibsen, and Nietsche!" All we can say is that Shaw can't go on with this high-class plagiarism; someone was bound to find him out some day, but it took a Play Productioner to do it. . Still another little gem was added to our store of knowledge and our supply of well-turned little phrases just today by another Play Productioner who was informing his companion as he paid the check-and looking out of the corner of his eye to see if he had timed it correctly-that "Fantasia is just a glorified Mickey Mouse!" Gosh, we thought to ourself enviously, why hadn't we thought of that? A nther Anecdte .. This hasn't much relation to Play Production-none at all, as a matter of fact-but it's a little story we're sort of fond of. It happened a couple of weeks ago at the Architectural exhibit at the Rackham Building. A friend of ours who leans slightly to the acquiring of culture decided he'd take a look in and see what he could gather in the way of long architectural names with which to astound and delight his friends. He walked into the first room and noticed a rather short, dark, foreign- looking man who was staring intently at a particular phase of the exhibit, as though mentally measuring perspective.' "Aha," thought our friend. "One of The Boys, without a doubt. I'll follow him and pick up a few hints on the subject." So he followed him patiently through the whole exhibit, eyeing with particular attention whatever the foreigner seemed to linger over. Toward the end of the exhibit they approached a section on which was the placard "The Aesthetic Aspects of South American Architecture." The dark one looked at it for a second and then turned to our friend and said, "Say, bud, what does esst'etic mean?" The possibility that this year's Senior Ball, scheduled for Friday, May 29, may have to be held in two alternating sections, one half the attending couples being able to dance at one time, yesterday marked an un- precedented rush for tickets as fran- tic students scurried to take advan- tage of a new offer of free transpor-" tation to and from the Ball for some lucky couple. In announcing the grand lottery, which will enable one or more cou- ples to attend the Ball in style and without cost, Ball chairmantTom Williams, '42E, warned that tickets purchased after the end of this week would not be credited in the lottery. Drawing Held "The drawing will be done at 6 p.m. Saturday," he announced, "and anyone wishing to be eligible for the award must have purchased their ticket before that time." Under present plans, it will be pos- sible for the winning couple to invite one or two couples to accompany them, as an entire car will be avail- able for their use the night of the Ball. The car has been obtained through the courtesy of Bob Summerhays '42E, and has been used during the past week to advertise the sale of Ball tickets, being stationed in the middle of the diagonal for a while. Will It Run? Although there is some specula- tion among those who are familiar with the car as to whether or not it will run, Williams declared that in case of an emergency a team of horses would be provided, and in any event the winners wouldn't have to walk, Although the car is of vintage '05, it has five "good" tires,and is hence invaluable. For obvious reasons its whereabouts will not be disclosed un- til the day of the dance. Dawson Popular Meanwhile a flood of votes for other bands failed to check the surge of ballots cast for Buck Dawson and his Six Bits as the band to play for the Ball, although more ballot box stuffing was discovered yesterday and 2,372 Dawson votes were thrown out. A continuing search for one Tom Collins, '42E, confessed enemy of this year's Ball, has as yet been in vain;' Williams said, and until he is appre- hended anything can happen. .1 American Educational Methods, Compared To Lithuanian Plan By BE'TTY LEWIS "Lithuanian schools have a ten- dency to develop the most intelligent part of the population rather than the mass of the people, as in Amer- ica," declared Hypatia Yeas, Grad., from Lithuania, in an interview yes- terday. "However," she added, "anyone with intelligence can get an educa- tion in my coultry. For instance, my father came from a poor country vil- lage and, having gone through high school and the university, became Minister of Finance for Lithuania" Must Know Subject Miss Yeas, being at present a stu- dent teacher at University High School, is in some position to judge and has noticed that American stu- dents are allowed to stay "young" much longer than those of Lithu- ania. "In Lithuanian high schools," she said, "pupils are treated in a more adult fashion so that by the time they reach college it is consid- ered more important for them to know the subject than to attett rlasses and take blue books." Primary education, ending at about the time the child is ten, is all the schooling that is free in Lithuania, Miss Yeas pointed out. High school tuition is $30 a year, though the gov- ernment is striving to reduce this. Eight years of work comprise a Lithuanian high school curriculum in which a wide general knowledge, es- pecially of the classics, is emphasized, with the result that high school grad- uates have the equivalent of an American junior college education, according to Miss Yeas. When he has finished college a Lithuanian student is given what amounts to a master's degree. Miss Yeas herself, having completed three years of un- dergraduate work in law at the Uni- versity of Lithuania was given gradu- ate standing here. Eradicate Illiteracy With such a thorough school sys- tem, Lithuania has almost eradicated illiteracy, declared the Lithuanian student; and from the beginning of the independent Lithuanian state (1918) women have had equal rights with men. "But," emphasized Miss Yras, "since the Russians and then later the Germans have torn up iOur coun- ry, slfoolmi1 h S'l No y very much disrupted, and, except for those studying German-encouraged techni- cal subjects, the young people have been mostly carried off by either the invading Russians Or Germans, the young men into the armies of the two nations." The purpose train students making maps of the course is to in the principles of from aerial photo- graphs, in the operation of stereo-' scopic machines and in the related principles of surveying and topogra- phic mapping. Those trained will be available for employment in the Na- tional Defense Mapping program, directed by the U.S. Corps of En- gineers. Women will readily find positions in this field, particuhi ly in photo- graphic mu-a pping and in work relat- ed to it. This course will permit those who successfully complete it and who possess all other prerequi- sites to qualify in the Federal Civil Service examination for Engineering Aid and Photogramimetric option. Necessary Experience Qualifications cisenual for enroll- Went in this course are two years of civil engineering experience or two years of college training with major study in engineering, architecture, 1) I, cs, cheI1 ry,, majthema)i.tics, forestry or geology. Three and a half years of college study will be accepted if the applicant has had trigonometry in high school or col- lege. Further essential is United States citizenship. Also the applicant must take a physical examination before the civil service appointment is made. The Federal Government will pay tuition and all similar expenses. The students, however, are expected to pay their own living expenses, pro- vide for textbooks and supplies. The expenses for books and supplies will vary from $20 to $35. Further information will be avail- able at the interviewing today. Appli- cation blanks can be obtained at the office of the Social Director of Wo- men at the Lieague. Snoods Are News Newest slack team mate is the snood of loose mesh crocheted yarn, silk or ribbon-often, bows or fabric flowers are ensnared in the mesh. It covers your hair but it makes the same flattering framework for your face that a long bob does. And an- other hair note is a huge bow of plaid or checked gingham perched smack back of the pompadour with the rest of the hair tightly upswept.
