.THE MICHIGAN I LY PAGE TRDaU
To Call Square Dance At 'Sadie Hawkins' Saturday

Hillbilly Theme
To Mark Party
Held At League
Women May Invite Men;
Both Urged To Come
Alone By Betty Hoag
Ivan Parker will call and lead the
square dancing to be featured as
part of the evening's entertainment
at the Sadie Hawkins dance to be
held from 9 to midnight Saturday at
the League, Betty Hoag, in charge
of the affair, announced.
To fit in with the hillibilly theme
of the dance, simple square dances
will be taught for approximately
three-quarters of an hour. There
will be an exhibit square to teach
the steps, and Mr. Parker and his
wife are to take part in it.
Previous to teaching square danc-
ing, the exhibit group will entertain
those attending the dance with some
faster and more complicated squares.
John Clifford, '41, is organizing the
exhibit square which will include
Mr. and Mrs. Parker, Cathleen Clif-
ford, Sherman Moist, Eva Goldman,
Ivan Hall and Jeanne Crump.
Informality To Reign
The Sadie Hawkins dance is the
only women's invitational dance of
the Summer Session, explained Miss
Hoag, and this theme is taken from
the cartoon, Li'l Abner, which in-
cludes the trials and tribulations of
the local spinster, Sadie Hawkins.
Although it is supposed to be an
event to which women ask their
partners, both men and women will
be able to come alone, Miss Hoag
stressed, and there will be hostesses
as usual to help such people to find
partners.
Miss Hoag urged that many peo-
ple come without partners, for it will
be easy to meet others there due to
the informality of the affair. Women
will do the cutting during the entire
evening, with the exception of four
dances when men will have the privi-
lege.
Kentucky Feud
There will be several dances when
couples will be asked to change part-
ners, at the suggestion of the women,
constantly throughout the whole
piece. Another feature will be the
Kentucky Feud, in which either men
or women will be given rifles to
hand to the person they cut in on.
Those with the rifles at the end will
have to pay a penalty.
There will be no chairs around the
walls, so the floor will have to be
resorted to by tired dancers, explain-
ed Miss Hoag. Li'l Abner cartoons
are to decorate the ballroom, and
this is being taken care of by Rose-
bud Scott, '42. To continue the Ken-
tucky Mountain idea, whole or par-
tial costumes will be required, and
a committee will be there to award
a prize to the best woman's and best
man's costume. It was stressed that
it would be necessary to have at least
some suggestion of a costume. An
example is a bandanna worn over
very informal clothes.

which have no evaluating standards
and fix no responsibility upon teach-
er or pupil. Regimentation, Dr.
Booker maintained, is prevalent in
activity programs as well as in the
more formalized schools. Lack of
proportion is likely to result, he con-

tinued, if there is no educational
budgeting and if there is an undue
emphasis on spontaneous self-ex-
pression as creative talent.
Formal learning solely at home is
open to severe criticism, Dr. Booker
summarized. Facility in the use of
meaningless terminology as the
badge of professional competency is
the basis of much of the illogical
educational practice and thought
which should be disregarded for spe-
cific facts based on the critical anal-
ysis of fundamental experiments, Dr.
Booker concluded.

Union Doorman George Johnson
Valiantly Guards Sacred Portals

* * *

By BARBARA DE FRIES
. "They shall not pass" has been
the watchword of George Johnson,
veteran doorman of the Michigan
Union these last 19 years, toward all
women who have endeavored to enter
the male sanctuary through its fam-
ous and restricted front doors.
In this little gray-haired old man
is embedded the history and tra-
ditions of 19 of the Union's 21 years
and to those who know him he is the
symbol of the past and present Union
and an enthusiastic eye-witness to
these changing times.
Hailing from Green Oak, just 20
years ago, George has quietly ob-
served 2,000 students come and go
each year and has been subject to
the various whims and idiosyncra-
sies of innocent undergrads and sea-
soned graduates. His vast supply :f
friends range from little freshman
nobodies and senior "think-they're
somebodies" to imminent somebodies,
and although he doesn't know quite

everybody, everybody knows him.
Balancing himself precariously on
the edge of his chair and twirling his
Michigan watch fob in the air, George
began to expound on the origin and
development of the singular Union
tradition of limiting front door. en-
trance to male individuals. A swanky
night club in Detroit first devised
this custom, he said, and even now
are enforcing it as rigorously as be-
fore.
Our similar custom here at the
Union is not as severe as it was dur-
ing the first five years of its exist-
ence. At that time, no woman was
allowed to dine in the main dining
room or so much as enter the lobby
without being accompanied by a
member., My job, George declared,
was a repulsive one, as even the men
were denied entrance until they had
fully identified themselves. How-
ever, because of the 190 sleeping
rooms and the abundance of visitors,
the strictness of the law is decreas-
ing. But even now, George is im-
movable and he chuckles happily
when telling of the day when he sent
Mr. Green, then Governor of Michi-
gan, and his wife around to the side
door.
Since George has been capably
holding down the doorman responsi-
bilities, enrollment in the Univer-
sity has increased from 7,000 to 11,000
and modern times and modern ideals,
he believes, are making serious and
better students out of boys. "Land-
a-goshen," he sputtered, "the boys
aren't nearly so devilish today as they
were in the good old days and the
excitement isn't as rampant now as
before. Why, there's no compari-
son!"
Of the many memories which
George cherishes, one always takes
the limelight in his estimation. At
the time before Bluegoose bought out
Pierce Arrow, both lines were run-
ning busses through Ann Arbor to
Detroit and a day never passed that
the competitive bus drivers didn't
engage in a fist fight over the pas-
sengers.
When asked if he thought the wo-
men were growing prettier as the
years went by, energetic George
promptly replied: "Oh, they're grow-
ing so much more beautiful-that
four out of five business is all bosh!"
His opinion of the Union is: "It's a
great place."

Summary

(Steam Rath adjoins the Locker Room)

Two Ann Arbor youths turned he-
roes late Tuesday afternoon and
saved a 16-year-old Negro boy from
a watery grave in the upper reaches
of the Huron River.
Kenneth Pertner, 19, and Jack
Marshall, 22, both of Ann Arbor,
were near the river when Robert
Govan shouted for help. Pertner
and Marshall dove to the rescue, and
applied artificial respiration after
pulling him to shore. Dr. George W.
Hagerman administered a heart
stimulant.
Govan is now in St. Joseph's Mer-
cy Hospital recovering from shock.
His condition was reported satisfac-
tory.
William H. McLaren, Ann Arbor's
retiring octogenarian assistant fire
chief, died at his home yesterday
after an illness of a year. The oldest
member of the department in point
of service, McLaren started his fire-
fighting career with the local volun-
teer force in 1885.
Two Detroit youths waived exam-
ination before Justice Jay H. Payne
yesterday on charges of breaking in-
to and entering an automobile and
were bound to circuit court under
bonds of $2,500 each, not furnished.
Edward Nickowski and William
Bower, both 17, confessed they were
the thieves who broke into a car
parked in the rear of Saunders Ca-
noe Livery Friday night. The raid
netted them $1.
