TO WOO OR NOT TO WOO?: That old tradition that during Leap Year a member of the fairer sex has the right to ask the John Doakes of her choice if he will marry her was debated last night by these University students. The coeds, taking the affirmative, thought the tradition was fine and ought to be extended so that a lassie has the initiative in deciding when to be kissed. The debaters are, left to right, I. Alfred Breckler, a sophomore, of New Rochelle N. Y.; Adelaide L. Carter, a sophomore, Ann Arbor; Edith A. Evans, a junior, Ann Arbor; Andrew F. Caughey, a freshman, Detroit; Mildred A. Ward, a junior, Saginaw, and Richard K. Meinke, a freshman, Detroit.

2,000 TURN OUT FOR DEBATE: This is part of the crowd of more than 2,000 persons who gathered outside a State St. cafeteria last nigh in their attempts to hear an off-campus debate, Communism versus Capitalism, between Prof. Preston W. Slosson, and admitted Communist Dr. Herbert J. Phillips. Only 200 persons were able to hear the actual debate, however, because of a fire inspector's ruling limiting occupancy of the building to that number.
