Jeannie Roberts, '32, social chair- man, is general chairman, and she is being assisted by members of the new and old social committees, and members of the Undegraduate Cam- paign fund committee. "We need the aid of every Mich- igan woman in order to make this affair a success," stated Miss Rob- erts. "The proceeds will go to the Undegraduate Campaign fund, in which there is a deficit this year, so it is essential that the dance be a success. This work is an integral part of the activities of the League, and undergraduate support is abso- lutely necessary." Dorothy McGuffie, '31, is chair- man of the Undergraduate Cam- paign fund committee, and Helen Cheever, '31, Helen DeWitt, '33, Helen Kitzmiller, '32, Jean Botsford, '33, and Edwina Jenny, '32, are members.

Among the honor guests are the following seniors; Hannah Lennon, the retiring president, Jane Robin- son, Phyllis Biehl, Marjorie Lincoln, Frances Summers, Winona Gerhart, and Anne Moll. Mrs. John Selden Tennant II, one of the most active of the local alumnae, has also been invited to attend the luncheon. Miss Lennon and Mrs. Tennant have both been selected as "Zeta Girl," which is the honor given to the woman who has done the most for the organization during the year, and who has best lived up to the ideals of the group. "I have never enjoyed singing in any production as much as the two May Festival concerts, "St. Francis" and "Boris Godunof," said Nelson Eddy, baritone, in a recent inter- view. "Mr. Moore is a wonderful conductor and the chorus is ideal, one of the finest in my experience." "The group of !artists are all in- teresting and pleasant to be with and I have had marvelous treat- ment in Ann Arbor. I should cer- tainly like to sing in oratorio con- Sororities Sponsor Many Social Events for This Week-End This week-end brings forth nu- merous social events in the sorori- ties, including formal dances, facul- ty teas, mid-night spreads, and rushing parties.

This aoon there will be a special lunch- eon at the League, and. this after- noon, Mrs. Alexander G. Ruthven and the Ann Arbor alumnae of Kappa Alpha' Theta, are giving a' .tea in honor of the Mothers at Mrs. Ruthven's home.

The mothers will be presented with corsages and favors at this dinner. Alpha Delta Pi will be hostesses at a tea to be given tomorrow after- noon for approximately two hun- ired members of the faculty, and several May Festival artists. Mrs. Carl Coe, Mrs. Preston James, Mrs. Kaleb Smith, and Mrs. John Shep- erd will pour. The members of .~l pha Phi are giving an informal 0 upper-dance this evening. Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Pettyjohn, of Ann Arbor, and Mr. and Mrs. James Luther, of Detroit will act as chaperons. Miss Thelma Woodruff, of Kalamazoo, and Miss Virginia Gies, of Detroit are guests at the Alpha Phi house this week- end. Alpha Omicron Pi gave a rushing dinner for eight guests last Thurs- day night.

OFFICERS NAMED BY LEGAL GROUP engagements have been for a villian or priest. Such is the case with many natural comedians; they al- ways want to play 'Hamlet,'" he continued. It is interesting to note that Mr. Eddy's greatest successes have been in the heavy roles of Wofrom in "Tannhauser" and in "Die Gotterdaemerung." "Singing just a few lines here and there is very tantalizing and a great nervous strain. It would be marvelous to sing the whole four acts of an opera and much easier to do than to wait anxiously for a part, then come in for a short while only," he said.

C Complete Line of Everything Musical high schools, and in the eastern col- leges, but in the western universi- ties men seem to be preferred. However, I believe this is all due to tradition. Women have not had important positions in this field so they do not seem to be offered to them, but the positions are really there if they want them. There are not as many positions open and they do not pay as well as those of the men, but the reason for this is that women marry and then quit their positions. As soon as a woman is really trained this always seems bound to happen. So naturally the best opportunities are not usually offered to women," he stated. Geography May be Amateur. "However, there is, besides the professional aspect, the amateur one. This is the creation of a hobby. It can be in any kind of work, and geography offers splendid oppor- tunity for it. After women have reared their families they are left without anything to do except bridge and clubs. But if they had developed a hobby during college then is the time for them to con- tinue it. Indeed one of the things that your college education should result in is the creation of a hobby. British Women Artists Exhibit Water Colors An exhibit of water colors, the work of the members of the Royal Society of British Artists, is beingr held this week in the third floor gallery of the Architectural build- ing. Most of the work was done by men, but there are the paint- ings of about 12 women included.
