, - . AM ., 1 lla, v lv 1, 'QQ its '. liillk rs TRADITION AND LEAP WEEK r--HH-Q, 1-IBN Antioch adopted Leap Week, which gave yy .W Antioch women the right to date men, a K fl tradition was disregarded, namely, the tradition of ii AMAA giving all dating rights to the men. During the first semester of this year one week was set aside in each division for the purpose of allowing women to use this newly adopted plan and permit them to become ini- tiated in the mysteries of dating men. Sprucd Cottage was the scene of supper parties. Dinner and coffee dates took place at the Maples and the tea room. Baker House common room and faculty homes enjoyed informal parties arranged by the women. There followed dances on Saturdays which were paid for by the ladies and the men were enabled to find out how they rated in popularity. It was a revelation and incidently an interesting experiment for those involved. With the passing of Leap Week at Antioch, there remains an awakened interest in social problems, uncovered by this reversing of the tables between the usual relations existing be- tween the men and women. The progress evolving from this newly established tradition will be interesting to watch. 79 ill
