Game Officials
Discuss Rules
Since there is a shortage of
women basketball officials to of-
ficiate at women's high school
games throughout the state, na-
tionally rated women officials have
been invited to speak at regional
rules meetings held by the Michi-
gan High School Athletic Associa-
tion.
Among those who are speaking
are Miss Marie Hartwig and Miss
Ruth Harris of the Women's
Physical Education Department.
During the week they have spo-
ken at meetings held in Port
Huron, Bay City, Mt. Pleasant,
Flint and Hillsdale.
Their purpose is to explain the
rules of women's basketball to the
men who will officiate at women's
games. They answer questions
about personal and technical fouls,
the limited dribble and explain the
differences in the blocking rule.
JGP Committee
Members of the publicity
committee of JGP will meet at
4 p.m. today in the League.

Free Dance Scheduled
At Union Tomorrow
Students do not need to leave

holiday mood.

from 9 p.m. to midnight tomorrow
in the Union Ballroom for those
men andwomen who are unable
to go hone 'for Thanksgiving:
Chuck Hoefler will serve as the
'disk-jockey for the ;evening.

mosphere of the dance.

LINING UP at the corner of Hill
and Church Sts. at 8:30 p.m., the
eligible TKE bachelors led the
marriage-minded coeds in a furi-
ous but futile chase to the finish
line (living room of the TKE
house). Dogpatch males caught be-
fore reaching Bachelor's Bottle-
neck (the front door) lost their
freedom, and were firmly escorted
to the altar with the clang of wed-
ding cowbells ringing in their ears.
There, -the corn-fed couples
had their choice of Marryin'
Sam's extra-special $2 ceremony
or the economical $1 variety.
Following the classic November
race, Old Man Mose wandered
hither and yon with predictions of
things to come and offered some
real earthly humor while the
fiendish Scraggs terrorized the
Dogpatch residents with water-
guns and cap pistols.
* .* *
IN CELEBRATION of the mo-
mentous event, an Offishul Dog-
patch Tromp (square dance) was
held for all the happily married
couples. Having turned the Teke
house into a miniature Dogpatch
the blissful maidens and their
burlap-clad men gaily "tromped"
among flying saucers, tumbled-
down shacks and barnyard ani-
mals.
Skonk fur hats, shmoo key
rings, cob pipes, polka dot
blouses and fringed skirts com-
pleted the Sadie Hawkins Day
setting.
Available Jones set up his shop
in the hall and greeted Dogpatch
inhabitants with his usual offers,-
"Introduckshuns-Desireable Gals,
10c; Michigan coeds, 3c;" "I'll do
anything for a price;" "Will any-
body be sad"when "you go? I'll cry
at your funeral-50c"
Pledges dressed as "kigmys". as-
sisted Hairless Joe and Lonesome
Polecat in the brewing of the Kick-'
a-poo Joy, Juice which sparked
with varnish, paint and dead rats.
Steam and circles of smoke poured
forth from the huge vat contain-
ing the brew.
In the midst of all the fanfare,
the Teke hillbilly quartet com-
posed of Bob Holm, John Karcis,
Ronald DeBona and Hal Campbell,
rendered a few mountain melodies.

By JANICE JAMES
Many a word of explanation has
been written concerning the vari-
ous phases of feminine activities
on campus, but now comes the
time for a revelation of the glory
that comes after the work-thet
women's honorary societies.
New on campus and .a: bit be-
wildered by the immensity of it
all, freshmen women seldom rea-1
lize that there is an honor society,.
Alpha Lambda Delta, which hon-
ors those of their class who have
mounted up a 3.5 average during
their first semester on campus.
INITIATED in the spring, the
members of this group are 'active1
for only a year. Those members
who manage to maintain a 3.5
average for their four years on
campus, receive a certificate. of
honor upon graduation.
Members may be recognized
by their pin, a small gold lamp
symbolizing the lamp of learn-
ing.
Sophomore women who are out-
standing in scholarship, campus
activities and leadership arehon-
ored each spring by Wyvern, all
campus honorary society. Women
possessing the necessary qualifi-
cations, which include' an average
.3 of a point above that of the
all-campus women's average, are
tapped by the old members
THE incumbents march through
dormitories and sorority houses
singing their traditioial song,
"Damn, damn, damn to Michi-
gamua," when they tap new 'mem-
bers.
New Wyverns may be recog-
nized by the brown skirts, yel-
low blouses and- hair ribbons
which they wear the day after
tapping.1 1
Initiation services .are held at
the League and new initiates are
presented with yellow roses.
* *' *
SYMBOL of the group is a gold'
pin with a "W" raised on its face.
At present the society is planning
a concert record series which will
feature selections desired by the-
majority of students.
Women who have maintained
an average .3 of a point above
that of the campus women's
average and who are outstand-
ing in service and leadership,
are eligible for membership in
Mortarboard, the national wom-
en's senior: honor society. Both
affiliated and':Independent worn-
en comprise the group
Singing "Thy Ideals," the grad-
uating membes'ta new oies each
spring after closing hours in the
residence hals and soority houses
* * *
ON THE I AY after tapping, the
future members may be seen
around campus wearing their tra-
ditional mortarboards. Because the
tapping usually takes place on a
Thuisday night; initiation services
are held on the following Sunday
morning 'in' the chapel of' the
League.
Members who wear the sym-
bolic pin of a small black and
gold mortarboard, annually
sponsor the coed-bid pay-off

dance given shortly after J-Hop.
They also serve as ushers at the
marriage lecture series and
watch the ballot boxes in cam-
pus elections.
Oldest of all the women's hon-
orary groups on campus is Senior
Society which each semester hon-
ors independent women outstand-
ing in leadership and service and
possessing a scholastic average
equal to or above the all-campus
women's average.
* * *
'ESTABLISHED in 1906, the so-
ciety taps its new members on In-
stallation night in the. spring, at
Fortnight ceremonies or after clos-
ing hours in the fall.
At this time, future members
are 'presented with a scroll of
membership. On the day follow-
-ing tapping, they may be recog-
nized by the white collars and
blue bows , which they sport on
campus.
Initiation services are held in the
chapel of the League with the old
members wearing their traditional
black gowns. New members are
given yellow roses and their names
are inscribed on a yellow moire
ribbonwhich bears the names of
all past members of the organiza-
tion
* * *
AMONG THE group's main pro-
jects are selling boutonnieres for
Assembly Ball, annual coed-bid
dance given by independent won-
en, and ushering at Fortnight.
Members may be recognized
by their 'rectangular black and
goldpin which bears the gold
letters "SS."
. On Installation night- each
spring, affiliated women are
tapped for membership in Scroll,
which honors seniors outstanding
in leadership .and service and pos-
sessing a high scholastic average.
BLUE SKIRTS and sweaters,
ahd 'scrolls around the neck, con-
stitute the costume of future mem-
'bers the day after tapping.
