Michigan is noted in the field of
music for the excellence of its cur-
ricula and the calibre of the musi-
cians it turns out. Part of the train-
ing facilities are offered in the vari-
ous musical sororities and fraterni-
ties, together with a social life that
is interlinked with musical interests.
Half a hundred women are benefiting
by the advantages so offered through
Sigma Alpha Iota, Mu Phi Epsilon,
and Delta Omicron, musical sorori-
ties.
Sigma Alpha Iota is the oldest na-
tional musical fraternity for women,
according to Baird's Manual. It was
established at the University of Mich-
igan June 12, 1903, by Nora Crane
Hunt, Elizabeth Campbell, Frances
Caspari, Minnie Davis, Leila Farlin,
Georgina Potts, and Mary Storrs,
Since its beginning here it has grown
to a total membership of 5,000 in 57
active chapters, each holding a
professional standing. Faculty rec-
ommendation and a high scholastic
average are necessary for member-
ship.
Mu Phi' Epsilon, national honorary
musical sorority, was founded Nov.
13, 1903; by. Elizabeth Mathias, JaneI
Bellis, Ethel Kimball, A. Sterling,
Elizabeth Stewart; Lillian Sutton,
Edith White, Jesse Yuille, assisted
by members of Phi Mu Alpha (Sin-
fonia). In 1915 the organization's
national policy was changed from
Bondes Rated Cheaper
Than Brunettes At Dance
BOSTON, Mass., March 3. -It's
cheapest to be a blonde! Brunettes
are the next best bet, and red heads
are the most expensive of all. That
at any rate was the price smale used
at a dance held recently at the Mas-
saehusetts Institute of Technology.
Blondes had to pay 10 .cents admit-
tance, brunettes 15 cents, and the
red head. were charged 20 cents.
Thed balanceof the admission price
was determined by weight, at the
rate of one cent a pound. Blondes
outweighed the brunettes. The prize
for the evening went to a blonde
weighing. in .at 173 .pounds,
professional to honorary, which
makes its scholastic requirements B
in all subjects. Active membership
is limited to students of junior and
senior standing, teachers and those
actively interested in music.
Delta Omicron, national and pro-
fessional sorority founded Sept. 6-
1909, has at present 21 active and
two inactive chapters. Its member-
ship is of two kinds, active and
alumnae. It is selective, fulfilling
certain qualifications of character,
ideals, talent, and scholarship.

Union Dances
Refl.et Trend
To Sim1Iieity
By CAROL J. HANAN
The perpetual importance of black-
and-white proved itself again in the
overwhelming evidence of its popu-
larity seen at the Union last night.
Black satins, chiffons, and all varie-
ties of crepes were set off by a pro-;
fusion of white organdies, mousseline1
de soie, laces and all types of white
lingerie touches.
One of the nicest things we've seen
for spring was a lovely flowing long
affair of black chiffon with a stif-
fened organdy top of white. The low
V decollette met the waist with a
jeweled clip in back.
An altogether different type frock
in black and white satin would be
appropriate for formal afternoonj
wear. The white top was cut surplice
fashion and studded with gold se-
quins, while the skirt was built on
the fashionable straight lines for
spring.
An effective interpretation of the
so-called speakeasy dress was done in
pure white crepe touching the floor;
extremely simple lines were followed
with a high boat neck-line and full
sleeves to the waist.
There's one thing about the Union;
every type of dress from daytime
frocks to the point where only a
jacket separates an outfit from be-
ing formal is acceptable. For in-
stance, one skirt and blouse ensemble,
the latter of organdy, with large ruf-
fled sleeves was as smart and appro-
priate as the more formal types.
