University of Michigan vill be rep- resented by three delegates who left yesterday for the convention: Cynthia Hawkins, '29, will represent the Wom- en's league; Charles Gilbert, '28, the Student council; and Jo Chamberlin, '28, managing editor of The Daily, has been invited to speak before the con- ference on the subject of "Student Government." The federation is an outgrowth of the Intercollegiate World Court Con- gress which met at Princton in De- cember, 1925. During the ensuing year it established relations with the International Federation of Students and promoted European travel for American students. It is now repre- sented in the Confederation Inter- nationale de Etudiants. Last summer more than 200 students went abroad in small groups under the auspices of the American federation through arrangements made by the Open Road commission. They were received by the national student unions, and through this intimate contact with the foreign student, it is felt that greater spirit of sympathy and cooperation is being built up. This one of the pri- mary aims of the federation. The federation at its first meeting in 1925 was concerned chiefly with po- litical questions, and the World court held first place among these prob- lems. At the second gathering, which was held at the University of Michi- gan, it was decided that these ques- tions were so far above the practical life of the students that small interest could be aroused in them. Attention was, .therefore, turned to particular problems of student life, including col- lege athletics, student government, the curriculum, and the like. These will hold the interest of the delegates at Nebraska this year. Fra- ternities will also be brought up for discussion. The establishing of bonds of friendship among the students of the various countries, through travel and study, will also claim attention, being one of the foremost considera- tions of the federation. Miss Hawkins will present the ques- tion of vocational guidance and' the work of. the World Fellowship com- mittee, as problems of interest to Michigan women. Stanford Leader Is Advocate Of Women In College Sports r "Nothing can create a real interest In women's athletics on the campus as Tong as we have no intercollegiate competition says Barbara Fenwick, president of the W. A. A. at Stanford university. A vital organization can not be formed as long as the program is local and only the few who actually take part in the inter-class games are con- cerned, according to Miss Fenwick. The reason assigned by Miss Fenwick for the lack of interest on the campus as a whole in women's athletics is that they have nothing to show for them. TEMPLE UNIVERSITY. - Women students of the Industrial Arts class- es are making toys to be given to poor children at la Christmas party. en's representative to the first meet-c ing at Princeton in 1925, said: "Many1 other countries already had such fed- erations, which constituted organized7 student opinion on national and in- ternational questions, capable of hav-x ig considerable influence.e "If the Federation can carry on the purpose of educating the student bodyt throughout the country toward ac thoughtful opinion, and attitude one political matters, it will have accomp- lished a great deal. Then, too, thereI is a voicing through the Federation ofI the need of creating better feeling and understanding among the students of the world, and thereby among nations. Whether or not this latter purpose can be accomplished with any real re- sults is as yet a question. "One of the major difficulties fac- ing the organization is its ever chang- ing personnel, as students graduate. It is felt, however, that once an actual interest is awakened it will be carried over after graduation. One of the criticisms of the federation is its ideal- istic nature; any organization, in ordert to have an excuse for being, has to have high ideals, something almost be- yond reach," Mrs. Higley affirmed. "But to attain these ideals, they must French Designer Has Trouble In Pleasing American Customers At the Art Center, New York, there have been on exhibition designs for silk prints by eminent American de- signers, illustrators, and artists. The designs are expressions of a struggle with dynamic decoration. Some of them show respect for humble ele- ments. Edward J. Steichen, photog- rapher, for instance, scatters rice ker- nals, or buttons and thread on a smooth surface and then photographs them, producing interesting designs. Charles B. Falls uses pegs and tick- er tape in two of his designs, and Fifth avenue traffic is used by P. V. Carpenter. Hollywood stars, um- brellas in a storm viewed from a height, Coney Island roller-coasters, and letters of the alphabet are also woijked into designs. John Held Jr., uses the instruments and players of an orchestra in a print called Rhap- sody. The subject matter for these prints, one is told, is derived from American lie. The efforts are always interest- ing, and in some cases successful from the point of view of agreeable and comparitively modest fabrics. In cases where the patterns are too bizarre and exaggerated for costume silks, they take their place as histor- ical documents. Moreover these prints are publicity. Paris has looked at them; Germany has talked about them; England has bestowed on Ameica a period, the "Renaissance of silk in America." TEMPLE UNIVERSITY.---Although the Women's Athletic Association has decided to abolish all other Varsity sports for women it, willcontinue to have a Varsity swimming team. SMITH COLLEGE.-The new debat- ing Union of Smith college will de- bate on the subject: "Resolved: That for college graduate women a career is compatible with home-making. rst Convention Of Comments On Aims apply practical methods, always being on the outlook for excessive red-tape. "The representative should be pre- pared to speak for the university," she went on; "and this requires that each campus have an organized opinion to present. In this way the vastness of numbers with which the Federation must deal and the amount of territory which must be covered in order to reach the nation's colleges will be overcome in a measure. "I feel that the Open Road is one of the Federation's finest and most suc- cessful projects," Mrs. Higley conclud- ed. At the convention of 1926, which was held at the University of Michigan, Marian L. Welles, '28, women's editor of The Daily, was the representative of the League;, Cynthia Hawkins, '29, is attending the present convention in that capacity at Nebraska. DESIGNS FOR SILK PRINTS SHOW NEW AND UNIQUE IDEAS ByV. E. , American women seem to consti- tute a Waterloo for Paul Poiret, clothes designer par excellence. This is because they refuse to accept any material changes in fashions which. the French style creator introduces. The whole thing has been analyzed as a question of comfort. Earlier gen- erations of women struggled about in long cramping, itching garments which were too wide or too narrow in the wrong places. When a fashion be- came unbearable and rebellion became acute, the style dictators would make "changes," substituting for the ob- jectionable style another equally un- comfortable but uncomfortable in a different way. But for the last ten years or so there have been no significant changes in women's dress. Poiret, having es- tablished shorts, finds it impossible to persuade the American women to ac- cept longs. They have, seemingly, achieved the acme of comfort and re- fuse to countenance any great change. True it is that modern fashions are attractive and becoming, but so have all styles been-in their day. The big fact is that the American woman, having become accustomed to clothes that give the greatest possible free- dom, will not be coerced into wearing anything that hampers her enjoyment of life. Poiret may create and re- create, but his patrons will have none of it, unless he includes the big item of comfort-comfort according to twentieth century standards-in the makeup of his models.
