Coeds Paddle Canoe on Diag,
Launch Soph Cab Publicity Drive
By JANICE JAMES
Even with winter and its icy
blasts, the Sophomore women on
campus evidently still find amuse-
ment in the age old custom of a
leisurely canoe ride-down the well
trodden Diagional!
Students hurrying to class this
S mrning were readily awakened
from their weekend daze when a
swiftly paddled canoe was discov-
ered making itsway across cam-
pus energetically propelled by
three members of the Soph Cab
publicity committee.
EMBLAZONED with 'the slo-
gan "We can go Soph Cab-Can
oe?" this land going water vehi-
cle invited one and all to the class
of '52's "As You Shake It!"
Many a lecture will be enliv-
ened this week when coopera-
tive professors include invita-
tions to the Cabaret in thier list
of lecture slides.
Diners at fraternity houses
were considerably astonished when
waiters delivered mysterious boxes
to two members of each house.
The recipients of these presents
were even more amazed on opening
them to discover a kiss, candy,
from their favorite girl within
each box. These should serve to
provide the inspiration for Soph
Cab dates among the men and
their favorite cam"pus women.
"NEVER underestimate the
power of a woman" seems to be
the idea behind the stamping of
dinner napkins in all the wom-
en's residences this week. If the
men fail to cooperate perhaps the
women can help the situation
along !
Nevertheless, t h e crusade
aimed at the men continues with
suckers being delivered to all
men's residences this week.
These will heip push the cause
with their slogan, "Don't be a
sucker, go to Soph Cab!"
There seems to be no end to the
tricks Bev Howell, stunt chairman,
has up her sleeve, what. with the
appearance of two living salt and
pepper shakers on campus all this
week. Bearing the fitting 'title of
this year's Cab, "As You Shake It,"
the shakers will advertise the an-
nual presentation of a well known
campus tradition.
Confusion will reign and curi-
osity will be aroused all this week
until the presentation of the Cab-
aret froth 8 to 12 p.m. Friday and
Saturday nights at the Michigan
League.

Fashion World Shocked at Backwards
Coat
4;,
NEW YORK-(/P)-It takes a lot
to startle New York fashion world,
but a London woman did it today.
She wore her overcoat back-
wards.
On purpose, that it.
AND THE STYLE specialists1
couldn't make up their minds
whether this was a fad that ought
to be suppressed or the brightest
idea since the "peek-a-boo" waist.
In London they knew what
they thought. It looked good on
Barbara Goalen, the shapely
model who originated it, but for
women in general-"Too terrify-
ing to contemplate," shuddered
the trade magazine, The Tailor
and Cutter.
Over here, opinions differed.
* * *
"I GUESS it would be all right,"
said Brigance, an eminent coat de-
signer, "so long as the woman has
long arms-or a patient husband."
But Helen Fraser, director of
the Barbizon School and Model
Agency, wouldn't hear of it.
"They'd have to furnish a free
maid with each coat," she said.
"Also a free chiropractor in case
you tried to put it on yourself.
Anyway, who wants to sit on
buttons?"
Lisa Kirk, the sleekly groomed
singing star of "Kiss Me Kate,"
came out on the London girl's
side:
"Why is it any sillier to wear a
coat backwards than to wear a
cardigan backwards as the girls
were doing a while back? I should
think .the garment industry would
encourage new style ideas.
Moonlight
Moonlight is the worst possible
light for romance, in the opinion
of a Hollywood photographer, be-
cause it has a ghost-like quality
which is unflattering to anyone
it shines on.

Qreene
:Formal Planned
According to the men of Greene
House in- the East Quad, their
forthcoming Christmas formal will
be the biggest event on this year's
campus social calendar.
"From decorations to music,"
explain the proud Greene-Hous-
ers, "this dance will be tops."
To substantiate these claims, they
have given a little advance infor-
mation concerning this dance, to
be held from 9 to 12 p.m. Satur-
day, Dec. 10. A hard-working dec-
orations committee has centered
the ball around an approprite win-
ter theme.
A huge moon covered with phos-
phorescent paint will be one of
the bright spots of the annual for-
mal. This heavenly body will be
silhouetted against background of
"deep purple."
Other wall decorations will il-
lustrate various winter scenes,
sparkling against their exotic
background. The group will in-
clude robust ice-skaters with their
scarves flying in the wind and
chill-inspired wood gatherers.
Standing guard at the entrance
to the dance will be a snowman
and snowlady, modeled after typi-
cal University students.
