The 1913 hop had all the poten- tialities of developing into a genuinelyj first class brawl; but they managed FRITERNITY to drown all the youthful exuberance, the gentlemen! "Michigan's hoodlums (dear, dear) had innings for a short JEWELRYspace last night," said The Daily, "when about fifty toqued (tight to you) gentlemen attempted to force an entrance to Waterman Gymna- sium.

More spirited leaders of the mob began insistent attack upon the south door. The window panes were the first to go,thenthe locks and hinges were forced by a "Further entrance was blocked by a janitor who threateningly wielded a pair of Indian clubs. Cowards were plentiful. (Aw, come now, Michigan Daily, is that a nice way to talk?) No one dared advance. Fire extinguishers and a few improvised billies were more than a match for the bravery of the storming party." As someone remarked just before the examination period, there was a time when Michigan parties were dignified and respectable affairs. But the most historically interesting of all J-Hop affairs occurred in 1896. There were two J-Hops that year. One was held quite properly (so we hope) in Waterman Gymnasium, but the other was staged not in Ann Ar- bor, nor even in Michigan. The belles and beaus (isn't that the correct 1896 vernacular?) trotted all the dreadful distance to Toledo, there to have the jolliest sort of a time. It seems that until 1896 the nine older campus fraternities ran the "Junior Concert Promenade" just as they dashed well wanted, with the approval of the constituted authori- ties. At this condition the four younger campus fraternities and the independents were altogether an- noyed. They therefore protested to the Board of Regents for a part in the management (of the dance, stu- pid) and for a fair distribution of the floor booths. The Regents granted the request. Now, then, this was pretty disgust- ing to the nine older fraternities. So (Continued on Page 9) i \; 7 a Francisco-Boyce Photo Co. Offers a Large and Select Stock of Valentines.
