Certain features of our social organization seem to have the seeds of disaster within them. A sign of decay in any civilization is the growth of popular attitudes so rigid as to amount almost to taboos. A people sway- ed by an arbitrary code of manners is easy prey to sociological disturbances. Such an attitude has been increasingly apparent in this coun- try during the past half-century. The invention of the spike heel and the platform shoe, while undoubtedly highly aggravating to the sit- uation, are not to be held solely responsible. OTHER FACTORS are the ideas, propagated by our literature, ad- vertising, and movies, that American men are tall, strong and masculine, and American women little, dainty and frail. Ridiculous as these views must seem to the sober observer, they seem to have been taken seriously by a majority of the population. I refer, of course, to the mortal terror felt by the American women at the prospect of being seen in public with a male com- panion shorter than herself. The "Now you can be taller than she is" slogan of the Adler Elevator Shoe company would seem to prove that men also share this strange feeling concerning height. THE CONDITION has become so serious that a girl 5' 8" tall is con- demned to long, quiet evenings at home unless one of her friendsj can provide a victim at least 6' 2", while girls 5' 2" wear ballet slippers so that they can appear safely with a man 5' 5". While the immediate psychological and emotional effects are ob- viously unfortunate, even more dire consequences may ensue. Blue Book Ball 'Battle of the Sexes' To Be' Featured at Intermission Four men and four women will complete during the intermission in the "Battle of the Sexes" at the semi-annual "Blue Book Ball," to be held from 9 p.m. to midnight Saturday in the Union Ballroom. The students will be chosen dur- ing the dance to compete in the quiz program. Winners will be given four record albums by mas- ter of ceremonies Bob Olshefsky. Blue Book Favors Miniature blue books are to be presented to each couple as favors. To the guest holding the highest grade will be given a prize, in ad- dition to a consolation award to "E" blue books. Bob Olshefsky, chairman of the dance, is assisted by Keith Jordan and Pete Phohl. The ball, present- ed each semester by the Union Executive Council, is offered as a relaxation period from the stress and strain of final examinations. Tinker to Play Providing the music for the in- formal affair will be Frank Tinker and his orchestra, heard weekly at the Union dances. Tickets may be purchased by those holding Union cards tomor- row through Saturday at the main desk in the lobby of the Union. Completing the fall semester's weekly Union dances are to be "Small J-Hop," from 9 p.m. to midnight Friday, Feb. 7, and "Make-Believe Ballroom" from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 8.

Recreational Leadership To Be Taught An opportunity to get an over- all survey of materials used in playground and camp work is one of the features of the course in Recreational Leadership offered next semester by the Department of Physical Education for women.

The results will inevitably be tall children and short children. As they grow up these children will look for partners of suitable height, and the process will continue, until through selective breeding America is a nation of pygmies and giants. Maybe this is what Procrustes was working on. Read and Use The Michigan Daily Classifieds!
