Sophomore Cabaret Tradition
Will Continue At Annual Event
Goblins and superstitions, in-
cluding "Kasper, the friendly
ghost," will reign at the tradi-
tional Sophomore Cabaret, "The
Witching Hours," to be held Dec.
4 and 5 in the League.
Produced, directed and staged
by some 250 women, the event
will feature a stageshow, dance, re-
freshments and a concourse of
amusement booths, including for-
tune tellers and games of chance
and skill.
* * *
THE STAGESHOW, "Ghosts
Are My Lobby," a musical comedy
with original script, is a take-off
on senatorial trips. Witches abduct
three senators into their under-
world. Displaying their astounding
super-natural powers and all their
"tricks of the trade," the witches
hope to impress the senators to
convert the unbelievers on earth
into returning to the age of witch-
craft and superstition.
Nearly 2,000 persons are ex-
pected to attend the two-night
carnival, which offers a two-fold
opportunity for sophomore wo-
men to learn how to be leaders
in community projects and to
raise money for future student
activities and charities.
Soph Cab will feature two bands
for the campus-wide event. Paul
McDonough will entertain dancers
on Friday evening, while Hal Sing-
er and his orchestra will provide
music for dancing Saturday night.
* * *
THE "PASTELS," a combo un-
der the direction o4Robert Koh-
ler, will also be available both
nights on the second floor of the
League.
Although Soph Cab has usual-
ly been in early spring, this year
it will take place in Dec. Each
year Soph Cab takes over the
entire second floor of the League
for /two nights of fun.
The event features dancing in
the League Ballroom and one of
the smaller rooms, a floorshow in
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre and
various games of chance and skill
together with refreshments.
Tickets for this year's Soph Cab
may be purchased today from 9
a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Undergrad-
uate Office of the League and
from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the
Round-up Room and lobby of the
League, in the Business Admin-
istration building and on the Di-
agonal. Tickets are priced at 90
cents per person.
'U' Resident
Takes Part
In TV Show
South Quadder Seen
With Former Teacher
On 'This Is Your Life'
By ROZ SHLIMOVITZ
"Are you Andy Cosgarea?" the
voice at the other end of the re-
ceiver said. "This is 'This Is Your
Life' calling, and we'd like you to
come out to Hollywood Nov. 4 for
a TV show."
Having pulled a similar stunt a
short time ago, Cosgarea thought
his corridor mates at Van Tyne
House, South Quadrangle, had
dreamed up this joke.
* * *
EVEN WHEN a phone call from
Detroit confirmed the Hollywood
call, the chemical engineering stu-
dlent remained unconvinced until
he received the plane ticket. Then
he thought, if someone is playing
a joke, "it's a pretty expensive
one."
Because of National Educa-
tion Week, directors of the TV
program wanted to honor a
teacher and chose to depict the
life of a well-known Michigan
instructor, Miss Lou Babcock,
wvho was Assistant Principal at
Highland Park High School in
Highland Park, Michigan, which
Cosgarea had attended.
The program director wanted to
get Miss Babcock's first and last
student on the program and chose
Cosgarea because he was the pres-
ident of her last class.

Teams
To Vie For Honors
In Basketball Tournament
CENTERS JUMP!:
Representing dorms. sororities
and league houses. 53 teams have
entered the Women's Athletic As-
sociation's annual all-campus bas-
ketball tournament.
The squads will attempt to, de-
throne Couzens, Mosher, Angell
House and Pi Beta Phi who cap-
tured the first four positions last
year.
Because the games could not be
scheduled when volleyball games
were played, the tournament got
off to a slow start. After vacation,
however a full slate of games will
be played.
In action last week. four teams
won, and as a result, advanced in
the "A" tournament. These squads
are Alpha Xi Delta I, Hobbs House,
Delta Delta Delta I and Kappa
Kappa Gamma I.
Because no team is seeded, the
tournament is run similar to the
volleyball tourney.
Teams which win their first
game participate in the "A" divi-
sion, and the losers have a chance
to play at least one more game in
the "B" division. Play continues in
each diyision until one team wins
all its remaining games and cap-
tures the championship in its divi-
sion.
The winner of the "B" division
may then challenge the runnerup
of "A" and if the challenger of
this match is victorious, it may
challenge the winner of the "A"
tournament.
Each team is composed of from
8 to 10 players and a timer and,
or, scorer.

Because of "a shortage of labor and
difficulty in securing all the need-
ed materials, the date of opening
has been postponed twice.
Construction of classroomsj
and the gymnasium will continue
while the pool is in use. The

Coeds To Attend'
Correction Clinic
Undergraduate and graduate
women students now have an op-
portunity outside the posture, fig-
ure and carriage classes to work
on correction of figure or foot
faults or any other phase of body
mechanics and appearance.
By request or recommendation
from Health Service, coeds may
make appointments with Miss
Ruth W. Harris, instructor of the
posture, figure and carriage class-
es. Health Service works in con-
junction with the clinic, which is
sponsored by the Women's Phy-
sical Education Department, often
referring women there for cor-
rective exercises along with thej
treatments it is prescribing.-
On such things as weight dis-f
tribution problems, Health Ser-
vice will prepare a diet, and the
clinic will demonstrate exercises.
Another help a student can re-
ceive from these University ser-
vices is in the improvement of foot
mechanics. Clinics are held in a
Barbour Gymnasium classroom.
Individual appointments can be
on Monday and Wednesday be-
tween 8 a.m. to noon or on Friday
from noon to 4 p.m., by calling
extension 391, Barbour Gymnas-
ium.
THE STVUDENT Olfices hlouse
committee, which is directing this
project, is also planning a photog-
raphy contest and exhibit in the
near future.
Hoping to make these exhibits
an annual affair, the committee
also thinks that they will help to
brighten up the Union and make
the lobby more attractive.
Anyone desiring further infor-
mation may either call or visit the
Union Student Offices. Printed in-
formation sheets are on hand.
Staff men in charge of this pro-
ect are Dave Smith and Jerry
Hays.
Milton Raymer who will give a
lecture and free bowling lesson at
4:30 p.m. Monday at the Women's
Athletic Building.
