"Beat Michigan State," will be
the battle cry of University stu-

7:30 p.m. tomorrow.
Students will meet at the Yost
Field House instead of at the Un-
ion, as has been customary.
Michigan fighting spirit will be
boosted by the Michigan Marching
Band and the cheerleaders, accord-
ing to Harriet Thorne, publicity
chairman of the Wolverine Club.
Football fans will listen to a
speech by Al Wistert, captain of
the 1949 Wolverine team which
tied for the Big Ten championship
with Ohio State. Wistert, and his
two brothers who also played foot-
ball at the University, were All-
American football stars. Wistert
currently lives in Ann Arbor.
In addition, the "Midnight Sons,"
a quartet composed of Glee Club
members: Dan Pressley, Mert
Crouch, Andy Kardly and their
leader, Dick Maier, will sing songs
to help build up the enthusiasm.
This will be the first performance
for the quartet.
Steve Filipiak, from Station
WHRV in Ann Arbor, will be the
master of ceremonies.
The composer of "Varsity," J.
Fred Lawton, will give his own in-
imitable impersonation of Fielding
H. Yost, famed football coach from
1901 to 1926. "Varsity," a song dear
to the hearts of many Michigan
men and women, was dedicated to
Fielding H. Yost by Lawton 43
years ago.
Miss Thorne said, "A large at-
tendance from both Michigan State
and the University is expected for
the final pep rally of the season,
as the game on Saturday is a
'sell out'."
Approximately 250 women field
hockey players and officials will
gather Nov. 25 to 28 at the Univer-
sity for a national tournament.
Included among those attending
will be a touring team from Ire-
land.
The purpose of this event is to
select the nation's best 11 players
to compose an All-American team.
Other top participants will make
up All American Reserve teams.

No University students will take
part because the University is
merely affiliated with the associa-
tion and is not a club. However,
several faculty members expect to
take part.
This will be the first time that
the association has met here for a
national tournament.

"One of the oldest, fastest grow-
ing and most popular of the wom-
en's sports is fencing," Helen Stew-
art, fencing instructor and club ad-
visor, reports.
Sixteen elementary classes are
now being offered in fencing.
"Coeds majoring in music and
drama can especially benefit from
the course, because it teaches
quick and graceful movements,"
Miss Stewart said. She added, "it
is also popular because part of the
skill of the game is in planning an
attack and outwitting opponents."
A fencing club has been formed
for any women students with a
knowledge of the fundamentals of
fencing. Miss Stewart said that the
eight week fencing course taught
as a freshman physical education
requirement is sufficient for any
high school training.
Club manager is Marion Mel-
chiori.
The group is planning to arrange
fencing meets with Wayne Univer-

sity, Cooley High School, Michigan
State College and Kingswood High
School. "If the club becomes
skilled enough," Miss Stewart
stated, "They hope to have even
more schools with which to com-
pete and to get into a state
league."
Demonstrations by professional
and amateur fencers are planned
by the organization. Miss Stewart
hopes that Paula Sweeney, nation-
al women's fencing champion, who
visited the campus last year to
give demonstrations, will be back
this year.
"The women's physical educa-
tion department supplies masks,
foils and jackets so there is no ex-
pense to a coed who wishes to take
the course," Miss Stewart stated.

distributed from 1 to 5 p.m. to-

'HAPPY BIRTHDAY':
'Mrs. D' Endears Herself
To Martha Cook Women
I
By ELAINE EDMONDS
Strains of the traditional "Happy
Birthday" will echo in the dining
room of Martha Cook tonight at
the dinner honoring the birthday
of Mrs. Leona B. Diekema, house
director, and the birthdays of all
the residents of the building.
Mrs. Diekema, affectionately
known as 'Mrs. D' by the coeds
and alumnae of Martha Cook, is a
graduate of Ann Arbor High
School. She received her A.B. in
history from the University in 1908,
to The Netherlands, where they
spent the next three years.
As the wife of a diplomat she
was known for her hospitality and
discernment in understanding the
complexities of a foreign capital.
The gracious and dignified sil-
ver-haired house director was the
original alumnae candidate for the
position of the first woman regent
of the University in 1929. She with-
drew her name, however, for it
was at this time that her hus-
band received his appointment
Club Woman
While at the University during
her undergraduate days, she was
secretary of the senior class and
president of Mortar Board as well
as being active in her sorority,
Kappa Alpha Theta.
Mrs. Diekema spent the years
from 1934 to 1939 at Stanford Uni-
versity where she was director of
Roble Hall, freshman dormitory.
Since comint to Martha Cook in
1939 Mrs. Diekema has served as
president of the Women's Republi-
can Club, vice-chairman of the
city Republican committee, presi-
dent of the Michigan Alumnae
Club of Ann Arbor, a member of
the Michigan Alumnae Council and
a board member for the Ann Arbor
branch of the American Cancer
Society.
Expressing the philosophy which
has endeared her to hundreds of
young people Mrs. Diekema said,
"If in any way I can be useful in
sharing experiences or in discuss-
ing ideas, and if I can be helpful
in setting up ideals for the respon-
sibility and the service that lies
ahead, to me that is true satisfac-
tion."

and later returned here to re-

"I enjoy working with young
people, for they are the future,"
commented Mrs. Diekema on her
work with students. "I am enter-
tained by their cleverness and I
marvel at their versatility.
