To Open Membership
For Interested Coeds
Women with the urge to begin
swinging a softball bat or a golf
club have the opportunity to at-
tend the organizational meetings
of the WAA Softball and Golf
Clubs at 5 p.m. today in the WAB.
Any coed, whether beginner, in-
termediate or advanced player, is
invited to attend the Softball Club
meeting, while only women with
previous golfing experience are
eligible to join the Golf Club.
The Golf Club will be divided
into intermediate and advanced
groups, and instruction will be
provided by Mrs. Violet Hanley,
club professional.
Golf Club meetings will'be held
on the green as much as Ann Ar-
bor weather permits, but on rainy
days the group will meet for in-
door instruction.
Purpose of the club is to ad-
vance golf among women on cam-
pus and to give the time and fa-
cilities necessary to improve the
members' game.
A yearly procedure for the club
is that of choosing a campus-wide
women's golf team, formed from
the club.
Eligibility for this honor is de-
termined by the five lowest scores
handed in, and members are given
the privilege of playing on the
University Golf Course at any
time free of charge.
It is also a traditional practice
for the team to play selected
teams from Ypsilanti and Michi-
gan State.
The purpose of the WAA Soft-
ball Club is primarily to afford
coeds the opportunity to play and
enjoy the game, while at the same
time gaining the instruction ne-
cessary to improve their skill.
Activities of the club include
inter-club games, and extra-mur-
al games are usually arranged
during the course of the softball
season.
Indoor meetings are also ar-
ranged to provide the opportunity
for members of the Softball Club
to learn the principles of scoring
and umpiring.

If the '52 coed thinks she had a
hard time filling blanks and going
through the rigors of orientation
week, she should look back eighty-
two years to the first coed and the
trouble she had entering the Uni-
versity of Michigan.
In 1870 Miss Madelon Stockwell
entered the University after years
of preparation and a long period
of ridicule by people, mostly of her
own sex, who opposed higher edu-
cation for women.
) * *
MISS STOCKWELL, daughter
of a professor at Albion, had stu-
died there and at Kalamazoo Col-
lege before coming here as a
sophomore, where she graduated
two years later with highest hon-
ors because of the efforts of Mrs.
L. H. Stone.
Mrs. Stone herself desired a
higher education but met with
too much opposition.
When her husband was appoint-
ed in charge of the Kalamazoo
branch of the University in 1842,
Mrs. Stone became principal of
the ladies' department.
* * *
SEVERAL YEARS later state
funds to the branch were cut off
and it became Kalamazoo College.
From these top positions in a
growing college she and her hus-
band took an active interest in
co-education and were instru-
mental in helping Miss Stock-
well become the first coed at the
University.
Dr. and Mrs. Stone and a friend
who happened to be a regent, ex-
amined the law and found noth-
ing in it that could justly exclude
women from the University.
* * *
SO, AFTER A much more rigid
examination than was given men,
Miss Stockwell was reluctantly
permitted to enter.
Mrs. Stone's fight for wo-
men's rights in education was
BACK IN 1870:
Efforts of Woman Educator
Gained 'U' Entrance for Coed
culminated with a bill passed by
the state legislature admitting
women to the University fa-
culty.
She said in a letter to 'the re-
gents '.... I now see and feel that
an institution is not co-education-
al until it is co-educating. Until
men and women, both and to-
gether form the teaching force
and influence of that institution."
Through her own desire for a
higher education, Mrs. Stone was
responsible for helping the first
coed enter the University and thus
set an example that was followed
by many other universities which
today are'co-educational.

Blue Team .,. 1
For its Friday night show, the
Blue Team has chosen a theme in
keeping with the election year and
have entitled it "Pardon My Poli-
tics."
Decorations, programs andtick-
ets all carry out the idea with ty-
pical campaign and election ma-
terial used.
The tickets will be little ballots
representing the Wolvercrat Party
which ties in with the theme of
the floor show. Unlike ordinary
ballots, though, these will have to
be obtained at a price of $1.50 per
couple.
The programs will be in the
shape of little round campaign
buttons with 'vote Wolvercrat'
printed on the outside and all the
information of the floorshow and
committees on the inside. They
will come equipped with pins so
that each person attending can
wear them as a campaign button.
The right hand side of the ball-
room will be used for the Blue
team and will be decorated with a
huge campaign train headed to-
ward Angell Hall to pick up the
Michigan candidate for president.
Angell Hall will be shown with
throngs of cheering people await-
ing the train's arrival.
Over the door of the ballroom
will be each state's official stand-
ard, and tieing in with this, a poll
will be taken to see which state
has the largest representation at
the dance.
The floorshow, given once dur-

Leaders are requested to bring
the name of their songs and
any new ideas for the Lantern
Night program. If leaders are
unable to attend, they should
send substitutes.
ing the evening, will be built
around a take off on American
politics. The plot will be the form-
ing of a new party along lines that
the members think the party
should stand for. This party will
be the University of Michigan's
Wolvercrat party.
The floorshow will consist of
dancing, songs and dialogue, in
much the same form as musical
comedy.

theme chosen by the Maize team
for their show Saturday night.

carry out the idea with appropri-
ate symbols.
Tickets will portray a moon-j
shine jug with a cork top and
handle, just like the real thing.
Programs will be in the shape
of a full, yellow moon with a
couple silhouetted against it. This
couple will be pictured walking up
a hill carrying a jug of corn "lik-
ker" between them. Behind the
moon the names of the team's
committees and cast will be given.
The decorations, which will take
up the left hand side of the ball-1
room, will be based on Al Capp's
characters from L'il Abner. Aj
general store complete with old-
fashioned pickle barrel and hill-
billies smoking corncob pipes will
be the main decoration.
T h e floorshow w ill center
around a plot with the heroine
being Miss Clunk. The story has
it that if Miss Clunk doesn't get
married all the mountain people
will have to wear shoes. Miss
Clunk has just returned from the
University of Michigan.
The show will consist of songs,
dances and dialogue carrying out
the story.
Both teams wish it stressed that
the dance is male-bid and that
the dress will be casual.
