Following the general theme of military decorations, the commit- tee for the formal has planned a large mural at the fireplace end of the Union Ballroom.

RED SAILS IN SUNSET: Stalin Visits Unique Communists Party By MARY ANN HARRIS and BARBARA MOLYNEAUX We joined the Communist Party last night! Lured by an ominous red, star stamped communique telling of an evening of revelry behind the iron curtain at the Kappa Stigma House, we decided upon a private purge of these obvious subversive activities. As we approached 806 Hill, clothed in red flannels so as not to be suspected, a stealthy figure leaped from the bushes, slipped us match- ing red babushkas and whispered, "Do you have a flaski?" "Yeski" seemed the suitable reply and the iron curtain, strongly resembling auto chains, was lifted, revealing a mystical red glow. "Comrades!" screamed the Kappa Stigmas.

This is the annual senior parade which started with the first Michigan coeds in the days when Myra B. Jordan was Dean of Women.

Unattached women throw pennies in the wish- ing well. Tickets for senior supper will be sold from 3 to 5 p.m. tomor- row through Wednesday in the League Social Director's office.

Button Bases For those who sew their own clothes, the bone rings sold in dry goods departments make clever bases for self-covered buttons. Juniors To Premiere 'Fate of the Union This Week qJ * * * Duties of WAA Board Positions To Be Explaine By MARY ANN HARRIS The thirty positions open for petitioning on WAA Board will be explained at 5 p.m. today in the Hussey Room of the League. Board members from the Presi- dent down will explain the duties and experience pertinent to their positions, and the processes of pe- titioning for them. The petitions, which are written statements of qualifications and plans for proposed WAA jobs, will be due at 5 p.m. Friday, March 25 in the Undergrad office of the League. THE SENIOR BOARD of WAA will read and consider the peti- tions and will hold interviews from March 28 through 31. Coeds may sign for interviews at designated times upon submitting their peti- tions. The executive board of the WAA consist of the president, vice president, secretary, intra- mural manager, American Col- lege of American Federation of College Women representative, dormitory manager, sorority manager, league house manager, general publicity and Daily pub- licity. The duties of the President are directing the organization, which controls all organized women's athletic activity on campus; pre- siding at weekly board meetings; League Council membership; and integration of WAA in relation to other campus activities. The pres- ident must be a senior who has - ~ *~sJf \~ \ ...''a *e:" G. ~I ELEGANCE? SUITS in solids or two-tones, to Petitioners served on the board at year previously. * * * least oneI THE VICE PRESIDENT, who must be a junior or senior, aids the president and takes over the social functions of the board, while the secretary takes minutes covering everything. The treasurer keeps records of club expenditures in the WAA treasury. The dormitory, league house and sorority managers are all responsible for notifying and co-ordinating their respective divisions in the intramural set- up. In turn each manager takes charge of an intramural tourna- ment such as basketball, volley- ball, and softball. The intra- mural manager coordinates these tournaments. The general publicity, head keeps the names up to date on the club and on the intramural hon- ors board which is posted in the WAB, and keeps the campus abreast of WAA activity through posters, stunts and a variety of publicity media. She also may lend artistic talents to WAA social functions. Petitioning will be open also for the many club managerships and the prospective manager need not be an expert in her chosen field. Organization, leadership and abil- ity to create club participation and enthusiasm will be considered highly. Women should bring eli- gibility cards to the interview. However, petitioners who have valuable experience in a certain activity should not hesitate to state their qualifications on peti- tions, which may- be obtained at the Undergraduate Office of the League. Pleated Skirts The latest word from the fa- shion world says that the suits for spring will, at long last, fea- ture shorter skirts with either gores or pleats. WE FELT A TOUCH OF cold steel at our ribs and glanced up to see glowering Majordomo Fergusonavitch challenging and asking the password. "Yeski" was again the cry, and we broke away heading down into the "Siberian Salt Mines." The worker's "party" was busily applying sledge hammer and pickaxes to mammoth blocks of salt-(the decorations com- mittee were putting in the last touches.) Stalin and Vishinsky were supervising, aided by a hungry Siberian cow. Molotov was conspicuously absent. With the appearance of a kampus kopski agent the mines be- came deserted, except for the cow who continued to enjoy her salt block. The bovine, fully trained by the cominform, revealed nothing of party policy to the persevering agent from the Office of Student Affairski. SEEKING REFUGE we found an "Open Door;" a policy unex- pected at this gathering, and rushed into the arms of eight dancing cossacks . . . After ten minutes of Kazatzka we halted our investiga- tion for a few moments relaxation in the Library. A time worn copy of "Rushin Rules" lay open on the table revealing an introduction to prospective rushees, entitled, "Why I Lean to the Left" by Bruce Lookwood. Next to this was a well- thumbed issue of "Crime and Junishment" by Pat Hanneganski. Shelved among the rare books collection were three dusty volumes: "Lenin, Jr.," "Lenin, Sr." and "Lenin, Grad." and "Trotzky's Mexican Memoirs" or "I Get a Pick Out of You." We wasted little time on the pulp editions of "Ride the Pink Horski" and "Russian Spy Deported at Evening," subtitled "Red Sails in the Sunset." Out in the hall there arose an uproar. Lenin, in a red satin casket, was being born aloft into the spacious interior of the "Wee Kremlin" by eight strapping pledges. Was it the effect of the Vodka? In the Wee Kremlin J. Parnell Merritsky and other Stigma offi- cials were gathered around their television set listening to news flashes from the Big Kremlin and through the window could be seen a lonely pair (of sentinentals) keeping an eye on the satellites. As midnight struck, our investigation complete, we decided that these were, after all, only sociable socialists.
