THE MICHIGAN DAILY

!ooks Are de in
r ty of Ways
O'VIER THE BOUNDING lAIN-Enthusiastic members of the
Sailhigt(ub chiipped the last of the ice out of Whitmore Lake to
launch their surdy crat. One of the most active groups on cam-
pus, the rtudenmt atars h::ve sailed in several intercollegiate meets
this semestcr. Weatherin'; sunburn, spray and spills the sailors are
now nautically wiser, and some even proficient in celestial naviga-
tion.
BEA BEAUTY-The Hon. William Wallace Kerr, dancing in-
cognito, was the hit of the Beta Burlesque which walked off with
top honors for tickets collected at the 1948 Michigras. Preceded
by a mile-long parade, the sparkling two-day Carnival drew over
1500 students and townspeople to Yost Fieldhouse. Proceeds )vere
divided between the Women's Swimming Pool and the Fresh Air
Camp.
PERMANENT DARK HORSE-The mysterious Mr. "M" who was
favored to win the Daily's first annual 100 yard dash did not run
in the race. According to one editor, he was scratched. Over 100
fleet-footed men turned out to sprint for a trophy and 12 medals.
The race was won by Len Steinbrueck, and the awards wre pre-
sented by Charley Fonville.

QUICK WATSON--Audrey Parnes, Cleveland coed, receives her
first injection of knowledge at the University. Chosen as The
Daily's registration girl for the first of a series of picture pages,
the first semester freshman suddenly found herself besieged with
date offers from Daily readers. When her mother heard about the
partying she lowered the boom and Audrey hit the books.
ELIZABETHAN ENGINEERS-Led by Ev Ellin and the Engineer-
ing Council, the "slip stick" men this semester set out to broaden
their education. The results are shown above-a typical 9 o'clock
scene. With Mr. Shakespeare's help and some able management,
the Slide Rule Ball was a great success.
THETA THRUSH-Still healthy and smiling in spite of her re-
cent lambasting in the Gargoyle (they called it an interview),
Jackie Ward has warbled on her way to the top in campus popul-
arity this semester. Besides appearing in a variety of local coke
clubs, she sang her way into the semi-finals of the Horace Heidt
talent contest.
HAVE A WEED?-Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous
advertiser, The Daily this semester sprouted a rash of pictures of
students smoking for enjoyment. Every celebrity who could hold a
cigarette, (and at least one who couldn't) joined the happy par-
ade of "satisfied souls" and local cigarette sales skyrocketed.
ICE BREAKERS-The frosty air of the Coliseum was defrosted by
the novelty skating revues presented before many of the season's
hockey games by the comely members of the University Ice Skat-
ing Club.
MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY-This semester was another dry
one for minors as proprietors of suds emporiums, ever under the
watchful eye of the Law, installed infra-red lamps to examine
liquor cards. A month ago the city celebrated the 30th anniversary
of the suspension of liqugr sales in Ann Arbor, the subsequent
turning of "Joe's" and "The Orient" into coke parlors.
