While the petition itself was the big- gest thing ever to come out of a suf- fragettes' meeting in Washtenaw's his- tory, next in interest was the walk-out of the prohibitionist wing under the direction of Mrs. Sadie Kronkeit, who said, in part: "University authorities claim they will not countenance mixed drinking at this year's J-Hop and yet they have the effrontery to advertise that they will furnish ginger ale free. I think it's suggestive, I mean, really I do." The J-Hop, a dance which is staged once each year by the Junior class, ha been closed to women since its incep- tion some years ago. Up until the J-Hop began, women were satisfied merely to clamor for admittance to higher educa- tion in the University. Now they have subsided on that front and are claiming that they should be admitted to the J- flop-that the ballroom is a women's province. University officials claim they have nothing to say. However, they did admit the Board in Control of Athletics' An- If You Missed Last J-Hop, Here Is Why If you are going to the J-Hop you will probably want to know how to get there. Last year, 78 people missed the Hop because they were unable to find the place, despite high spirits. Seven thousand other people missed the Hop because they did not have tickets. So maybe we had better tell you how to get tickets, first. However, our ticket office tells us there are no more tickets available- tho there are three scalpers in a walk- up above the fire-station who wish they had sold their tickets before the J-Hop took place. As to the location of the J-Hop. It is in 4nn Arbor. Specifically, it is in the Intramural Building. That's where you are now if you are there. If you aren't you had better read this. If you can't read, it probably won't make any dif- ference where you are-as long as you aren't already waiting for your first eight o'clock. Don't take a train, for no trains go by the Intramural. Don't wait for a street car, for those tracks are just to fool the hoboes. Don't hire a boat, for this is still too early in the spring. Air- planes are too dangerous. And the Regents won't allow cars. What does that leave-any taxi driv- La KRONKEIT nual Statement will be out next week. Chief among the arguments presented in the petition, the introduction of which is too long for reproduction here, was the contention that women like to dance, too. They cited the establish- ment of a "Dime and Danc" establish- ment above a certain grocery store downtown and pointed out pointedly they they saw seven of the nine Regents cavorting thereabouts on the night of Jan. 16. However, six Regents claim they will have alibis. Also, the women stated that any evils accruing from the admittance of women to the J-Hop, and they admit there may be a few evils, could be nullified by the presence of a chaperone, a 9 p.m. curfew and the provision of a larger women's lounge. "Women have not always been refused admittance to the 0-Hop,".the petition sensationally states. "In 1872, it is authoritatively reported a woman's voice was heard to tinkle forth delight- fully from the dark environs. The boys, claimed it was a phonograph, but the Women of Washtenaw have their doubts. They feel if a woman was not present, she should have been there." Some 700 names were inscribed below the above petition. Look at them close- ly. You may find your sweetheart's there, to say nothing of your wife's. The names follow-sorry we could not get their phone numbers. +4a Flash: University Buys Pickles- 29,0000fThem From sources too personal to mention here, the Daily has uncovered the astonishing fact that the University of Michigan has become the proud possess- or of three barrels of pickles from one of the large pickle dispensers of north- ern Michigan..These three barrels con- tain some 29,000 gherkins (sliced) and some 12,000 mustards (not sliced). It has been estimated by well-known pickle authorities that this is enough for 27 years of Ruthven teas, if one out of every two tea-goers eats pickles. This, of course, discounts the fact that Presi- dent Ruthven and Bud may sneak down in the basement and take a few-on the side. This immense amount of pickles is enhanced by the fact that the Univers- ity may already have vast stores of pickles under one of their buildings. J-Hop Blues The J-Hop is a lovely thing, At least,s we'vebeen told. Its praises: all the ca-eds sing, Its wonders are : untold. And how those girls rave on and on About bands and songs and such. But the reason that we've never gone Is IT COSTSTOO - -- MUCH! -PETE Patron5, Etc. (Continued from Page 6) Sturgis; Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Lane, of Al- mont; Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Leete of De- troit. .
