Safety

By JUDY GREENFELD
Suspense and excitement will be
running high on Friday, May 2,
when lawyers abandon heavy
books to stage their biggest dance
of the year, "Crease Ball," and
solve the "case of the hidden slide
rule."
On this night, law and engineer-
ing students will end another
chapter in the long historic rival-
ry between the two schools.
THIS RIVALRY, highlighted by
thp enthusiastic attempt of the
lawyers to discover and capture
the engineer's eight-foot slide rule
in time for Crease Ball, developed
on campus many years ago when
law classrooms were located in
Haven IHall,
Guarding one entrance to the
diag while the engineers held
down the fort at the opposite
end, the legal men would arouse
the anger of the "engine gang"
by parking a car in the middle
of the engineering arch and let-
ting the air out of the tires.
In revenge, the slide rule men
would form a human chain across
the arch to prevent the lawyers
from reaching their classrooms.
Thus began the friendly feud.
IN 1921, MEMBERS of the law
school stole the giant slide rule
which was to be the main decora-
tion of Slide Rule Ball.
Their anger thoroughly arous-
ed by then, the engineers retali-
ated by invading the scene of
Crease Ball with tear gas bombs
and succeeded in cutting the
power box current.
Each year the success of the
dance is measured by the appear-
ance or absence of the engineer's
prized slide rule.
LAST YEAR the attempt to take
the coveted possession away from

the members of the engineering
school resulted in complete victory
for the lawyers.
Two rules were triumphantly
carried to Crease Ball at 10:45
p.m. by the lawyers who display-
ed them like banners on wires
strung across the room.
One rule had been discovered
and removed from the Union at
noon of the day of the dance, while
the other was found in the gym-
nasium of the Intramural Build-
ing.
The slides were later returned
to the engineers with the purpose
of cementing an atmosphere of
friendly relations between the two
schools.
Foreign Affairs
Discussed In Tal1 k
By Prof Slosson
"Hesitation among fears," has
resulted in making our present
foreign policy one of negative con-
tainment Prof. Preston Slosson
said last night at a meeting of the
BEACON Association.
"In the days before World War
I geographical good fortune and
the consequental lack of interest
in European politics made it pos-
sible for America to go without a
definite foreign policy," Slosson
stated.
"However," he continued, "the
three great disasters" of our gen-
eration has made it necessary that
the United States adopt a for-
midable foreign policy following
World War II.
Weeare now waging a defensive
holding action in Asia and build-
ing our defenses in western Eur-
ope, but in view of the present
uneasy world situation we dare not
do much more, nor much less than
we already are doing in the trou-
ble spots of the world, Prof. Slos-
son concluded.

On tA010 I
With most of the attention fo-
cused on Michigras activities this
weekend, only a few parties appear
on the social agenda.
Gay spring formals will be pro-
minent at the Alpha Sigma Phi
dinner and pledge formal tonight.
Couples will dance to the music
of Bob Elliott's orchestra in the
VFW.
Bill Klein and his band will play
at the Delta Sigma Delta pledge
formal.
Optimistically predicting clear
skies and sunshine for Saturday,
Anderson House of East Quad has
slated a picnic to be held at the
fresh air camp.
Lloyd House of West Quad will
give a picnic at the Island. Boat-
ing, baseball, and suppers will
highlight the day's activities.

Center Starts
Date Bureau
The International Center has es-
tablished a date bureau for women
interested in securing a date for
the 10th annual International Ball
on May 16.
The coeds will be fixed up for
a coke date before the dance to
meet their prospective escorts.
Women who are interested may
sign up at the International Cen-
ter in the Union.
Two years ago the International
Students' Association initiated the
date bureau in an attempt to "de-
fy the overpowering ratio of men
to women on the campus."
The bureau has been successful
in the past and Center officials
hope that its success will continue.
Mary Kui is serving as chairman
of the committee.

WAA
There will be no meeting of
the WAA Softball Club this
week. The next meeting will be
at 4 p.m., Friday in the WAB.

When the new president of the
League takes the gavel from pre-
sent League president, Cathy So-
tir, on installation night at 7:30
p.m., Monday, she will begin a
busy year of activity.
Her main job will be to co-ordi-
nate all the offices and commit-
tees into a functional, working
body, which will be a voice of every
coed enrolled in the University.
She will act as the ex-officio
chairman of the Women's League
Council and preside at all meetings
of this council.
The chairmanships of the Exe-
cutive Board of the League, of the
Ethel A. McCormick Scholarship
Committee and of the Board of
Representatives in the absence of
the chairman of the Board of Rep-
resentatives will also be held by
the League president.
She will be, too, non-voting vice-
chairman of the Board of Gover-
nors of the League and a member
of the Student Affairs Committee,
on which she will help to formu-
late and approve plans for student
affairs.
All these activities will perhaps
make the new League president one
of the busiest women on campus.
However, the other executive of-
ficers of the League will also have
many duties to fulfill.
The vice-president must be able
to step in whenever and wherever
she is needed. She will serve on
the committee of the Fresh Air
Camp and be a member of the
Executive Board, the Board of
Representatives, the Board of Gov-
ernors and the Ethel A. McCor-
m i c k Scholarship Committee.
League librarian will also occupy
a place on her list of activities.
