FROM POLITICS TO MOONSHINE: Blue, Maize Teams Take Limelight Spring Season Sport Clubs To Organize Softball, Golf Groups 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.

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.

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- Song Leaders There will be a meeting of all Lantern Night song leaders at 5 p. m. tomorrow in the WAB.

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.

Both teams wish it stressed that the dance is male-bid and that the dress will be casual. PHOTOS COPI ED 2V Wallet-size De Luxe Prints $1 .00 Original picture returned.
