L 22, .195 THE MICHIGAN DAILY L 22. 1959 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Spring Weekend Activities Given By Uncle Swen with Newsletter* To Start Book Drive "Hi, I'm Swen! "Since the gala Spring Weekend festival presented by the Union and the Women's. Athletic Asso- ciation is being held in my honor, I thought an account of my dark and mysterious past might be timely. "If I mention time it is because in this event I have definite seniority, being as old as the hills, not to mention the valleys, lakes, and iri fact, the world. Started Early "I made my artistic, debut at the first blast of all time, the Ne- andertal Cotillion . .And so *down through the ages I've been extremely busy orgarzizing various social functions for such notables as King George, Aga Kahn and Elsa Maxwell. "These positions however, have served only to bring me to the highlight of my career, which is the 1959 Spring Weekend at the University." So reads Uncle Swen's letter to the students of the University. Starts Friday Spring Weekend, this Friday, April 24, and Saturday, April 25, will see activities ranging from a bicycle race on Palmer Field to a Skit Night program at Hill Aud.

She reasoned that spring had arrived; that her precious cashmere sweaters, Irish tweeds, and Goldfine vicunas needed complete protec- tion from her little friends' the clothes moth and the silverfish. (Even a budding entomologist must draw the line somewhere.) After much 'dithering and quivering, Phyllis, like all sensible Michigan girls, TURNED TO TROJAN She had discovered that Trojan provides a huge hamper for winter clothes, stores it all summer long for just $4.95. No moth can corrupt, nor damp destroy, when clothes are safely locked up in Trojan's temperature-controlled vault. To top it off, Trojan delicately cleans and presses A11 the clothes in the hamper at regular rates, delivers them fashion-fresh and ready for wear whenever you wish' them in the fall. Every garment is completely guaranteed and insured! As you have noticed, Phyllis inclines towards hyperbole. Ah well, she is young. And who are we to argue if she calls her hamper a "Trojan Treasure Chest"? Shucks. . fr, tiy. j T~iAA 3 R@sc An evaluation and discussion of the work of Women's Senate willI be the topic for discussion at its meeting at 4:30 p.m. today at the League.
