tradition on this campus.
Eddie Woodworth and his orchestra

mal affair, which will be the high-
point of the ATO conclave held in
Ann Arbor this year.

goner, an ATO, was the first of the;

Blackfoot Ball.
By LOIS KELSO
INTIMATE ACQUAINTANCE with the work of T. S. Eliot is an absolute
must for all Intellectuals, and as one more step in my struggle to be recog-
nized as one of the culturally wide-awake, I have been trying for hours now
to get intimate with it.
What I mean, T. S. is deep. I was struck with this fact at a meeting
of the Michigan Academy a couple of weeks ago, when a visiting expert
from Michigan State, discussing the criticism of Eliot, found it necs-
sary to devote two paragraphs of explanation to every paragraph of
criticism he quoted. This achievement establishes Eliot as the deepest
of the deep. Anyone can write reasonably obscure poetry, but critici, m
which requires explanation is really something, let's not say what.
ELIOT SHOULD be read in much the same manner as murder mysLiries.
In both cases, the most revealing clues as to what is going on are to be
found near the end. I confess I had read all of "Preludes" in total ignor ante
of the real purport of the poem until I came to the lines "You curled the
papers from your hair, or clasped the yellow soles of feet in the palms of both
soiled hands."
Obviously, the poem is about someone suffering from yellow jaun-
dice who is not being too well nursed. This assumption explains the first
two lines, "You tossed a blanket from the bed, you lay upon your back
and waited." Waiting for what?, the thoughtful reader asks himself. For
someone to come wash her hands and take the curl papers out of her
hair, naturally.
charge. Those who win at the booths
will be presented with "Michibucks."
These will then be taken to the WAA
Prize booth where prizes may be pur-
chased with the bogus bills.
Adhering to a traditional practice
of all former Michilodeon and Michi-
gras carnivals, local merchants have
donated prizes for the prize booth.
Winners of the carnival games will
have an opportunity to buy such
prizes as books, silver bracelets.
cologne, lingerie, compacts and sta-
tionery, all donated by Ann Arbor
campus shops.
The outstanding prize is a pair of
nylons which may be purchased with
"Michibucks." Other prizes include
a teddy bear, pipes, billfolds, cigarette
cases, handbags, scarfs, novelty pins,
tops and boxes of candy.
Tickets May Be Had At Booths
Additional tickets may be pur-
chased at the ticket booths in Water-
man Gym. Among the booths sched-
uled to be open will be Alpha Xi

Sorority Annexes
Authorized By Dean
Each sorority which will be unable
to accommodate all members for the
fall semester in the chapter house has
conferred with the Office of the Dean
of Women, and sorority presidents1
have been referred to league houses,
where house mothers are willing to
reserve their facilities for members of
a particular sorority.
"Sorority women and the Office of
the Dean of Women like arrange-
ments whereby particular friends and
groups of friends may live togethert
if they wish to do so, because it makesf
a congenial household," Mrs. Mary
Bromage, assistant Dean of Women, 1
announced.t
"However," she continued, "league
house mothers are willing to do this
only when the individual students
sign contracts accompanied by the
necessary deposit, so that they will
be protected against last minute va-
cancies."
Conferees will be entertained by
the chapter at a stag banquet be-
fore the dance, and will also attend
the baseball game with Chicago
University today.
The name "Blackfoot" traces its
origin back to the founding of the
first ATO chapter at Virginia Mili-
tary Institute in 1865. There is no
special meaning of the term, but 1800,
custom often substituted nicknames
for Greek letter organizations. ATO's
at the Institute were called "Black-
foots" and the nickname has been
used to designate ATO's since that
time.
Blackfoot Ball is an annual affair
on most campuses having an Alpha
Tau Omega chapter. The tradition
was discontinued here in 1942, due to
the war. Revival of the event this
year is under the direction of Don
McAlonan, Jack Waters, Clayton
Gordon, and Kenneth Armstrong, all
members of the local chapter.

Feature of Bal
I
The Union Executive Council will
present the second annual Cue Ball#
from 9 p.m. to midnight today in the
Rainbow Room of the Union.
Intermission entertainment will
feature the playoff for the Union bil-
liard championship in the billiard
room of the Union. There has been
an elinination contest for the past
week to determine the two finalists,
Mike Alber and Joseph Soboleski,
who are University student amateur
billiard players.
"Behind the Eight-Ball" will be the
theme of the dance, and the decora-
tions will be kept secret as a surprise
for the dancers. Music for the dan-
cers will be furnished by Bill Layton
and his orchestra, and Patti DuPont
is the vocalist. The Union Tap Room
will be open to serve refreshments.
The Cue Ball is the third in a series
of special Union dances to be present-'

Mrs. Alexander Grant Ruthven was

niversary year of the Club will haveo
the wife of the president of the Uni-
versity again as its leader."
Other officers to be elected at the
neeting included Mrs. Mervin H.
Watterman, vice-president; Mrs.

herself and taking the curl papers out of her hair and trying pathetically to
allay the itching of the jaundice. It's touching.
I also have developed my own interpretation of "The Hollow Men."
This seems to me a realistic picture of politicians who have not been re-
elected. The line "Headpiece filled with straw" is the clue which helped
me to understand this one.
THIS THEORY explains the lines, "Between the idea and the reality, Be-
tween the motion and the act, Falls the Shadow." The Shadow referred
to is, of course, the election, coming before the completion of the term of
office.
It seems to me that Mr. Eliot's final lines, "This is the way the world
ends, Not with a bang but with a whimper," are a bit too severe, however.
Some politicians retire gracefully.
LITERARY ANALYSIS is simple, if you know how.
