"Rigging," "knots," "skipper"
and "crew" are all important
words to members of an active,
yet little known campus organiza-
tion, the Sailing Club.
This club, open to all students,
has as its aim teaching beginners
how to sail.
With this in mind the Sailing
Club is holding a mass meeting
at 7:36 p.m. tomorrow in Rm.'s
J, K, L and M of the Union.
Speeches will be given, questions
answered and pictures of the club's
activities shown.
Everyone Invited
Anyone with the slightest inter-'
est is invited to attend and re-
freshments will be served.
Since its beginning in 1938 the
club has rapidly increased its
equipment from four eleven and
a half foot dinghies, which were
partially paid for with dues and
contribution from its members, to
its current eleven dinghies, a
crash-boat, an iceboat and a dock
on Baseline Lake..
At present the group is in the
process of building a club house
at the lake.
Organized by Students
The Sailing Club started out
when the department of Naval
Architecture at the University at-
tracted many enthusiastic sailing
fans. These would-be sailors saw
no reason for not being able to
sail during the school months, and
organized the club.
Today the organization is a char-
ter member of the Midwest Collegi-
leaning,

ate Sailing Association, and is thus
allowed to take part in many of
the intercollegiate regattas during
the year.
This past fall the Sailing Club
placed first, second or third in the
six regattas which they entered.
They now rank second in the mid-
west.
Attend Shore School
Although they travel as much
as 1000 miles to attend the weel-
end regattas the club holds shore
school once a week at which time
its members learn the rudiments
of sailing.
Beginners, who must know how
to swim or be taught, learn .how
to tie knots, the nomenclature of
boating and rigging of boats.
They are also taught, by the
more experenced members of the
club, the proper way to handle
themselves from the time they
start to sailuntil the time they
have put away the boats after the
races.
Useful Experience
What is learned in shore school
is put into practical use at the
lake. When members feel they are
capable they may take tests for
crew and skipper.
For those students who know
how to sail, experienced racing
skippers teach them the tactics
and rules of racing so that they
may participate-in regattas.
Sailing generally begins in March
as soon as the ice breaks and ex-
tends to the following November.
During the winter months mem-
bers spend afternoons and week-
ends doing maintenance work on
the boats.
Bridge Tournaments
Students interested in at-
tending Friday night bridge
tournaments may attend the
first meeting at 7:45 p.m. Fri-
day in Rm. 3-G of the Union.
There will be a small en-
trance fee and a money prize
will be awarded the winning
team. Mrs. Walter McLean will
supervise the games.
Museum of Modern Art and Bed-
loe's Island.
International House
While visiting New York stu-
dents will live at International
House.
Leaving New York City on Sat-
urday evening, the group will ar-
rive at Niagara Falls where they
will spend all of Sunday.
Marquerite Randall, Secretary to
International Student Groups, who
will accompany the students
stressed that the tour is open to
both American and foreign stu-
dents.
American Participation Urged
She mentioned that most of the
foreign' students who have already
signed up expressed wishes that
more Americans might go.
"There will be a mutual benefit
if both American and foreign stu-
dents are able to participate," she
said.
"The foreign students will be
able to get an American interpre-
tation of the places visited, while
the American students will have
the opportunity to introduce their
culture to the visitors."
In addition, Mrs. Randall re-
marked that Americans will be
able to receive fresh 'impressions
of their cultural monuments.
Persons interested in participat-
ing in the tour may call Mrs.
Randall at the ISA office in the
Union.

"The Talmud, a Primary Source

founders of the National Council
for Jewish Education he has given
