THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAE "MeA"" Coeds Shun Union Dispite New Rule * * * .* * * By DONNA HENDLEMAN and ZANDER HOLLANDER The Union's new coed ruling is working successfully. The coeds say they can hardly wait to be escorted there. The staff thinks its a great idea. Even the men are being won over to the plan. There's only one trouble-the women are still staying away. A Sunday afternoon visit to the Union by a coed and a male es- cort will illustrate our point: THEY ARRIVED at 3:15 p.m., checked their coats and hurried to the billiard room. They were anxious to observe reactions of the men to what should have been swarms of women enjoying their new privilege. There were no wom- en, so the coed proceeded to take a beating at ping-pong while they waited for some to show up. None came. So they tried the pool room. The woman took les- sons from her escort, pool room manager Leo Kennedy, clerk Bob Mitchell, and Union coun- cilman Raffee Johns, '51, aided and abetted by stares, chuckles, cat-calls and various and sundry manifestations of male interest. But, at 4:15, still no women. They stopped the "game" long enough to question Ken Bitman, '52. When asked what he thought of women in the billiard room, he sighed, "I guess I can stand it. But I don't know any decent pool players of the femalvariety." * * * AT 4:20 P.M. another women finally appeared upon the scene. Their Quarry walked in, hesitated, looked around bewilderedly, and walked out. Deciding they were in the wrong territory, they went downstairs to have a cup of coffee. On the way out, Kennedy smiled at woman, and hoped she'd "come back soon." A sign at the cafeteria door made them pause. "Unescorted ladies," it said, "will not be ad- mitted." So the coed borrowed a dime from her escort and went in alone as a "test case." She was served without a murmer. Still undaunted by the dearth Union Service Will Arrange Rides All Year Because ofit its success I n the past, the Union Travel Servicej will operate throughout the school' year, Union staffman Jack Eh- lers, '53E, announced yesterday. Ehlers reported that more than c half of the drivers and riders whof applied to the Service beforec Christmas were accommodated. Drivers, wishing to share ex- penses and riders needing a lift1 for the between-semesters vaca- tion, may sign up in the Unionl lobby now, Ehlers said. 'Paganism' Attacked As Dangerous Western paganism is character- ized by hypocritical lip-service to Christian faith, Prof. D. Elton Trueblood of Earlham College charged yesterday. Speaking to ministers assembled for the 12th annual Michigan Pas- tors' Conference, Trueblood warn- ed that this type of "second degree paganism," if carried to its logi- cal end, will make the West easy prey for a new authoritarianism. Comparing religious conditions in America to those in Russia, Trueblood said, "Russia's pagan- ism consists of a clear-cut denial of God. Ours of the Western world is less blatant, but it is equally disloyal to the Christian cause." "We are trying to hold on to all the moral fruits of Christianity -the Christian sense of integrity, the basic idea of the equality of man, the idea of life-long fidelity --but we do not want to pay for them with a real commitment of ourselves to the Christian faith," he declared. Prof. Trueblood will deliver the last of his lectures on Paganism at 9 a.m. today in Rackham audi- torium. He will discuss "The Pro- gram for the Church of Tomor- row." The closing assembly of the' Pastors' Conference will take place at 11:45 p.m. in Rackham audi- torium. The Rev. Boynton Merrill, of the F i r s t Congregational Church of Columbus, Ohio, will deliver a sermon, "The Greatest Invasion Ever Made." 'U' To Give 'Flu' Shots Tomorrow Students will have a chance to get protection from influenza without cost, Dr. Warren Forsythe, director of Health Service, an- nounced yesterday. He said that free injections of influenza vaccine would be start- ed tomorrow morning and conti- nue until noon Saturday at the Health Service building. Students should enter by the north door for the shots. Faculty and staff members, as well as student wives, can get the flu injections at a cost of one dol- lar. These persons should report first to the Health Service cash- ier's office. "Because of the reports of a widespread influenza epidemic in England, the University has decid- ed the expense involved in pro- viding the free innoculations for the student body is justified," Dr. Forsythe said. Lane Hall Peace Group To Meet Plans for campus peace action will be discussed at a meeting of the Lane Hall Peace Conference planning committee at 8p m., to- morrow at the League, according to Henry Jarecki, '52, coordinator. All who attended the original peace conference are invited to at- tend, Jarecki said. Read Daily Classifieds .:f e" r A _ A .. :.. i , st+r" p;:, {, ply W j Y.i'. y , pF."

There, clerk Ed Up-a son told them that they had stock-i ed women's bowling shoes anda lightweight balls in expectation ofi a coed rush. He thought having women around was fine. No wom- en around. * * * THEY PROCEEDED to question some of the assembled men. Jim Richter, '51 was unenthused about it all. "I don't like long hair around billiard tables," he growled. But Ken Ross, '53E thought bet- ter of the idea. "I'd like to see more women here," he said. "They're stimulating to look at."
