By LOIS KELSO The Michigan Technic, ever opening new fields to research and adapt- ing new knowledge and discoveries to existing conditions, has again star- tled the University with a daring departure from oiftmoded thought. An article called "The Technic Reflects" should be of deep interest to all of us who have fallen behind the Technic in its research in the field of English composition. This article is credited, (or otherwise, as the case may be), to a Miss- McHigan. McHigan seems to be the pseudonmyn behind which any mem- ber of the College of Engineering wishing to bare his or her soul in print takes shelter, and who shall blame them. Miss McHigan ostensibly is concerned, with the undesirable qualities of the male Michigan engineer, but her remarks on this time-honored griev- ance are far less revolutionary than her snytax, punctuation, and diction. Close study of Miss McHigan's work reveals what seem to be fundamen- tal precepts of her own system of composition. All adjectives must positively be preceded by the word most, or possibly very. Repetition is, to Miss Me- Higan, the spice of life. That sentence is incomplete which does not strike the proper note of maidenly coyness with at least one "naturally," "of course," or "but definitely." Miss McHigan is also an ardent advocate of neology. During the so- journ of her typical engineer at the Bell, he "noisily orders three or four pitchers of beer, loudly exclaiming about how much beer he can hold." Later in the evening "his remarks fall into a vein, the gist of which I shall not repeat here." Miss McHigan's most significant work is done in the fiedld of punctua- tion. She apparently has a deep sentimental attachment to the comma, the question mark, and the exclamation point, and a marked aversion to the old-fashioned period. In a gargantuan burst of devotion, she has achieved the remarkable phenomenon of a paragraph containing four question marks, four exclamation points, and not one period. This is even more surprising when one realizes that the paragraph contains only two sentences. Miss McHigan's most significant work is done in the field of punctua- ture, joined the two parts of a compound sentence with, not an archaic conjunction or semi-colon, but a parentheses. This one has to be seen to be believed, and here it is. "Just once they should taste the food which the civilians have to down (the civvies are forced to keep their eyes shut to ac- complish this great feat) !" The extra-parenthetical exclamation point is also intriguing. If the Engineering English department has been teaching this sort of thing on the sly, I feel that the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts should protest against unfair discrimination. We would like to get in on the ground floor. Pardon me while I go off in a corner and loudly exclaim about how much I can stand. { Coed Petitions For Advisors Due Tomorrow Spring, 1946 Fall Positions Offered to All Eligible Coeds; Interviyws To Begin Tuesday Petitions for the position of orien- tation advisers for the spring and 1946 fall terms, open to all eligible juniors, sophomores and second se-, mester freshmen, are due by noon to- morrow. The petition sheet, which may be obtained in the Social Director's Office of the League, is to be made out in full and to embody the can- didate's ideas and plans for the or- ientation period. Any constructive criticisms of past orientation peri- ods that the petitioner may have are to be included. The sheet is to be placed in the Judiciary petition box in the Undergraduate Office in the League. Interviews will be held from 1:15 p.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesdayj and Friday, and at the same hours Tuesday, Jan. 29. Candidates are asked to sign up as soon as possible for an interview on the sheets which ! will be posted in the Undergraduate Office. Interviews will be five minutes in length. Each candidate must pre- sent her eligibility card, which will be signed by the Merit-Tutorial Committee at the time of the inter- view. #1 'W&eddings CNand - Crowded Rooming Conditions Now that many single rooms for women students are being converted into doubles to alleviate the housing shortage, Michigan coeds face the problem of living happily under more crowded conditions. Clever utilization of space and im- proved habits of gro9ming offer an effective solution. Those who were accustcmed to a closet of their own may now be asked to share one with a roommate. When this occurs, in- genuity and cooperation should come to the rescue. Remembering that ro one but Fib- ber McGee ever brought any good out of a cluttered closet, particular attention should be given to this ar- ticle. A basic "closet wardrobe" might include a garment bag for sel-I dom-used clothes, a hatbox, shoe bag and skirt hangers. Planning, when applied to closets, means using every inch of space wise- ly without crowding. The same holds true for dresser drawers. For con- venience, some women claim that I FC To Hold Annual Dance The Interfraternity Council will present its 14th annual ball from 9 p.m. to midnight Saturday, Feb. 2 in the League Ballroom, and Will feature the music of Frankie Masters and his orchestra. #Ticket distribution to the presidents of all fraternities began yesterday and will continue from 3 to 5 p.m. today in the Interfraternity Office in the Union. The ballroom will be decorated with the crests of all campus fra- ternities. Both the Grill Room and the Grand Rapids room will be open to the dancers. cnai enge even an arehitect s inge n- uity, room planning can be fun. The time and effort spent will prove worthwhile if the result is a comfort- able, pleasant, and livable room, easy to keep in "apple-pie" order. Houses To Hold Varied Dances This week-end Michigan women will find themselves donning every- thing in the clothes line from jeans to formals. Delta Sigma Delta will hold a ban- quet at 7:30 p.m. today at the Red Coach Inn. Edward Woodward's Or- chestra will play at the formal, which is to follow, from 9 p.m. until mid- night at the house. The Grand Central Station Stop- Over has been planned by the women of Couzens Hall for all men on cam- pus. Refreshments, ping pong, and games are listed as added attractions at the dance, which will be held from 2:30 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. tomorrow. Members of Beta Theta Pi fratern- ity will give forth with Indian war cries and cowboy lullabys in keeping with the wild-west theme of their dance. The western party will be held from 9 p.m. until midnight tomor- row. Alpha Omicron Pi sorority will hold its annual winter formal from 9 p.m. until midnight tomorrow. The dance is to be precceded by a dinner at the_ Allenel Hotel. Martha Cook residence hall has planned a formal program dance which will begin at 9 p.m. tomorrow. The Navy Band will play.
