First, those who are going to the J-hop; second, those who are not go- ing to the J-hop; and third, those who are in that dreaded class of not knowing whether or not they are go- ing to the J-hop. When asked that fatal question of "Are you going to the hop?" the art- ful maids reply, "No, I had an invita- tion but mnother thinks I am too young to go," or "Well, a man asked me but he didn't get out of the army in time to get back to school this semes- ter,' and again. we hear, "No, I don't believe in the hop--it's too extrava- gant and frivolous." Girls in sororities and dormitories are telling the gullible freshmen how a gi from that house went in 1903 and some are flaunting the fact that a cousin in the family went in 1906. Those nervous girls who do not know their fate yet are to be the most pitied. They can be easily perceived. Their eyes are roving and question- ing. They are uneasy. They mutter. Sometimes names are mentioned but usually the monologue runs this, "Will he ask me-will he ask me?" So this is the season when invita- tions are being given and accepted. Destinies and party dresses are be- ing made over night. Contests are be- ing waged between the college girl and the home-town girl. All for a party lasting from 10 to 4 a. m. _ Women Freshman girls will entertain their junior advisors at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon in the parlors of Barbour gymnasium.

I p -I The Guillotine Issue Editor-Hugh W.I Hitchcock EITHER COME IN OR STAY OUT There are a number of freshmen on the campus who are not wearing their toques, as they should. They are the ones who were in the naval unit, and they are still wearing the "watch caps" which they wore while in ser- vice. There are several things that these freshmen should remember. In the first place they are no longer in the service. In the second place, and much more important, they are fresh- men and it should be their duty to wear their class headgear. There are many traditions at Mich- igan, and all Michigan men take pride in keeping them. The freshmen evid- ently do not. The first year men are not the only offenders in this respect. Men in other, classes are also wearing the toppiece of the navy. It is up to them to do as they see fit about it, though there should be only one course of action. But the freshmen should realize that they are no longer in the navy. They have returned to the University, absolutely, and if they wish to be thought of as Michigan men, they should wear their toques at all times. Either come in or stay out. WHERE ARE THE CHEER LEADERS? A few years ago the man who led the cheers at a Varsity game was held to be one of the most enviable on the campus. He was hailed with delight whenever he appeared on the field, and many were the ones who aspired to his position. Competition for the honor was of the keenest. But along with other changes in the University life, has come the pass- ing of the cheer leader. He is no more to be seen as in days of old, decked in his official garb of white. If he -does make his appearance once in a while, it is but a feeble imit- ation of the "real thing." What's the matter with him? Why is he not on hand with his megaphone and his hoarse voice, with his exhort- ations, his commands, his pleadings? College life has been less like col- lege life than ever before. But the war is over now, and it is time for the old spirit to manifest itself again. Cheer leaders are necessary to help win the games, to put "pep" into the teams as well as the onlookers. All out, cheer leaders! "Ann Arbor boy sees midnight sun while on the arctic ocean." Accord-, ing to the press agents of the Spot- light vaudeville, we'll be able to see four of them right here.

The Dolmans, nearly al' of navy blue tricotine or serge, are fascinating, with their new lines, gorgeous figured silk linings, and skillful use of military braid and buttons as trimming. Short, rather full, boxy coats are coming in for quite a share of attention this spring, and are the kind which serve admirably the needs of the average college woman. Then, too, there are the long coats with narrow shoulders and sleeves, fitted to the waist line and belted with narrow belts.
