25, 1940 arker .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. dr. L. A. Booker Scores Foibles 'Of Educators (Continued from Page 1) 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 IAnn Arbor-1 Here Is In Today's I News 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." Catholic Mixer Held Yesterday 250 Attend Party In Club Rooms Of St. Mary's Approximately 250 Catholic stu- dents and their friends attended the mixer given for them from 8 to 11 p.m. yesterday in the Club Rooms of St. Mary's Chapel, according to Al- bin Schinderle, '42, who was in charge of the reception committee.
