Of Badge Presentation
Tau Beta Pi, national engineer-
ing honor society, gave their an-
nual initiation banquet in honor
of new members last night in tpe
Union.
Also honored was Violet Heint-
zelman, a junior in engineering
school.
She was awarded the Woman's
Badge, which is awarded on the
basis of scholarship, character,
integrity, service and leadership.
The organization admits no wo-
men members, but the Badge re-
cognizes women of unusual ability
in the study of engineering who
would have been eligible for mem-
bership had they been. men.
Miss Heintzelman is the first
woman at the University since
1948 to receive the Woman's
Badge and is among a hundred
women in the nation to receive it
since the founding of Tau Beta Pi
in 1885.
Because qualifications for the
award are higher for juniors than
for seniors, Miss Heintzelman has
received an unusual honor. She is
L also notable not only for succeed-
ing in engineering school until her
junior year but also for being a
scholastic leader in her ci'ass.
Miss Heintzelman combines
many dormitory activities at
Mosher Hall, including glee club
and social committee, with exe-
cutive duties on various other
committees.
This year she is secretary of the
American Institute of Chemical
Engineering, secretary of the En-
gineering Council, president of
the Society of Women Engineers
and is a member of the Engineer-
ing Honor Council.
With no definite position in
mind yet, Miss Heintzelman plans
to go into a branch of chemical
engineering.
Women To Vote
On Amendment
Members of the Board of Re-
presentatives will meet at 4:30 to-
day in the Women's League to
vote on a Constitutional Amend-
ment-Article 4, Section 1.
If passed, it would delete the
president as a voting member to
a non-voting member, thus en-
abling him to devote more time to
the job. An elective representative
from each house would replace
the president in voting capacity.

Transformation of the South
Quad into a modern Christmas
scene wil take place for its first
semi-formal, "Noel Moderne" to

night Saturday, December 15.
Music for the dance will be fur-
nished by the orchestra of Don
Bari, who, according to advanced
reports, is a veteran of the prom
circuits around Detroit.
Instead of the usual Christmas
decorations, "Noel Moderne" will
be centered around a color scheme
of shocking pink and silver which
will be carried .from punch to or-
naments.
Even the corsage favors, which
will be made up of a sprig of pine
and pine cones and decorated with
pink and silver ornaments and
shocking pink ribbon, will be in
keeping with the color scheme.
At midnight, couples will ad-
journ to a candle-lit Club 600
where a trio from the orchestra
will offer some more music on the
dreamy side.
Tickets, priced at $2.50 per
couple may be purchased at the
South Quad lobby from 5:30 to 8'
p.m. or they may be obtained from
any Quad social chairman, coun-
cil member or house officer.
On the committee for "Noel
Moderne" are Ron Bornstein,
general chairman; Frank Cesar-
ano, general manager; Phil Agni-
filo, ticket chairman; Joe Mof-
fatt, decorations chairman; Norm
Baguley, publicity chairman and
Jim McNally, clean-up chairman.

Saturday at the East Quad "Mas-
querade Ball."

Anderson and Strauss houses, the
party will feature dancing, games
and prizes for outstanding cos-
tumes.
The price of admission for the
dance is 75 cents per couple. Tick-
ets may be purchased during the
day anywhere in East Quad.
Although the dance is being
sponsored by only four houses in
the Quad, everyone on campus is
invited to attend.
LLOYD HALL...
Residents of Alice Lloyd Hall
and their dates will dance amid
decorations that will carry out
their traditional theme "Winter-
lace" from 9 p.m. to midnight Fri-
day, Dec. 14.
Five lounges will be decorated
by the coeds in preparation for
their annual semi-formal dance
for the Yuletide season.
The main lounge of the newest
women's dormitory will be trans-
formed to create a "wintery" at-
mosphere by the addition of white
pine trees laden with "snow." Big
red bows and bells trimmed with
silver will add a .festive look to
the room.
The Hinsdale lounge will depict
a ballroom scene, complete with
life size figures of dancers placed
on the windows and walls.
Life size figures of skaters will
also decorate the Palmer lounge
as it will represent a skating rink.
For those couples who desire to
escape the "cold" of the skating
rink, the Angell house lounge will
serve as a haven or ski lodge
where they mayobtain refresh-
ments.
F o r the more cosmopolitan
minded couples, the Kleinbstuck
lounge will represent a night club
where refreshments will also be
served.
Dancing will be held in the
main lounge and they Palmer and
Hinsdale lounges. The hallway
will be decorated to represent a
forest path complete with a large
ski jump.
General chairmen for "Winter-
lace" are Louise Miller and Elaine
Rothman.
'Wig and Robe'
Legends Told
.By Lawyers.
The court wil recess, the jury
will take a break and law students
and their dates will celebrate the
approach of the Christmas season
at the Barristers' annual dance,
'Wig and Robe', to be held in the
Union Ballroom from 9 p.m. to 1
a.m. Friday.
There is a, legend that goes
around about the origin of this
now traditional dance.
Seems that many years ago BLQ
(before Law Quad), a budding law
student by the name of Tommy
Tortfeaser conspired with a group
of his fellow strugglers at the
Orient, the before-blue-laws-bar.
"Forty-eight years without a
break is enough," moaned poor
Tommy, recalling all the Satur-
day nights he had studied.
He decided to take things into
his own hands and, aided by a
successful law student, one Mr.
Phogbound, future senator, Tom-
my aroused spirit in his fellows
and they organized a dance.
. Today, some many years later
the counterpart of this historic
first event is being held in the
Union by the sons of the original
group.
Rex Smith and his band will be
on the bench to provide 'nusical
recess for the dancing couples at
the semi-formal dance.
Faculty Women
The December meeting of the
women of the University Fac-
ulty wil be held at 8 p.m. to-
night in the Club Room at the
Michigan League.
Set in a pawnshop, the floor-
show, "Tickets Please," will be a
feature of this year's Sophomore
Cabaret to be held from 8 p.m. to
midnight Friday and Saturday on
the entire second floor of the
League.

Perlin, the show is scheduled for

sistant.
The principal characters in the

pawnshop, Mr. Sreditor, a Wall-

sula.

only in test tubes and chemicals,
and the headmistress of an ex-
clusive school for efficient secre-
taries on the floor above the
pawnshop are also included in the
cast.
Leads will be taken by Clara
Jane Fredericks, Margaret Pays-
ner, Elaine Rothman, Betty Mag-
yar, Sue Spurrier and Helen Ker-
math.

duction's original songs were writ-
ten by music chairman, Charlotte
Hoyt, Liz Perlin and Jane Thomp-
son. Lee Fiber is assistant music
chairman.

tyre have worked out all the dance
routines, including tap and soft
