pring-like Day Inspires
Appearanee Of Newer
Note In rocks And Hats
Nearly 150 students were present
eterday afternoon at the first open
ea given by President and Mrs. Al-
xander G. Ruthven since their re-
ent trip to Egypt. This is the largest
ttendance this season at one of the
ednesday afternoon affairs and at-
ests to the growing popularity of
hese informal gatherings at the hos-
itable Ruthven home on South Uni-
ersity Ayenue.
Edward McCormick, '34, secretary
f the Union, and Grace Mayer, '34,
eague president, poured. Although
he teas are always open to all stu-
ents, it has become customary to
xtend special invitations to certain
raternities and sororities each time.
'esterdcay Delta Ganma, Chi Omega,
nd Alpia Xi Delta sororities were
avited, and Theta Xi, Phi Gamma
)elta, and 2Xi Psi Phi fraternities.
The first spring-like day brought
. galaxy of cheerful frocks. Miss
vayer wore a navy blue dress with
dhite collar and cuffs and a blue and
ihite hat with turned-back brim.
iss Ethel McCormick, director of
he League, who assisted Mrs. Ruth-
en s hostess, also chose navy blue
nd a smart off-the-face hat, and
ulia Kane, '36, wore blue with gay
leckered collar and cuffs.
Gray, accented with bright red
rd green, was worn by Kay Car-
enter, '5, who finished the smart
nsemble with a red straw sailor hat.
ean Royce, '36, appeared in a brown
rock with a crisp starched sheer
ollar of white. Joyce black, '36, wore
oral with a brown hat, and Jane
.nold, '36, chose a green wool dress.
Among others who attended the
sa were Sally Stapleton, '35; Made-
M Coe, '36, Doorthy Van Riper, '34,
ean Porter, '34, Gilbert Blursley, '34,
nd William Sharp, '34.

Nail Polishes Being
WIorn For Formals
Although the elegant mode con-
nues in popularity, some of the
gore flagrant factors are rapidly dis-
ppearing in campus groups. For in-
ance the deep and unusual shades
f nail polish favored during the past
onths have been replaced by na-
oral tints.
The dark ruby color formerly worn
rith all types' of dress is now only
sed, and rarely then, for formal
ear. White gowns call for this shade
any do; and it is with the startling
mplicity obtainable in black and
'hite that the dark polish proves
#fective.'
There will always be those exotic
eople who create their atmosphere
y means of the unusual. One cam-
us show informs us that there have
een demands for green and lavendar
olish, 'while fashion centers broad-
ast the novelty stencils to be applied
> each nail. Yet on a conservative
ampus, only the distinctive indivi-
ualists can venture such risque
'ends.
On the whole, for both campus and
)rmal wear, the lighter tints are
Lost widely used. They are the color-
:ss, the natural, rose, coral, and shell
Hades, all of which harmonize with
ny color of dress.

The International Group of the

2:15 p. m. Saturday in the main

At the conclusion of the lecture
Iere will be a 15 minute period de-

a1lor to all foreign students, will in-
oduce Kaoru Hayashi of the Ja-
anese Embassy at Washington, and
present a student in the Univer-
ty, who will speak briefly on why

Women are no longer compelled
to ward off Indian raids with a mus-
ket nor do they attempt to shoot
their husbands with anything but
pistols. Why does. the University
sponsor riflery for women? It's a
sport. Moreover it is the only inter-
collegiate sport a co-ed is entitled to
participate in.
That the members of the varsity
have a keen eye may be proved from
the fact that all of them score in
the 90's, that is, they hit a target the
size of a dime at a distance of 50
feet. The Michigan team won 16
out of 27 matches and tied one last
year. Prospects for victory are even
more favorable this season according
to Dorothy Edmands, '34, the Uni-
versity's sharpest shooter.
Not only is riflery unique in that
it is the only intercollegiate sport for
women but also in that its tourna-
ments are conducted through the
mail. Neither side ever views its
D.A.R. Meeting
Will Be Held

The state regent, Mrs. James H. Mc-
Donald of Washtenaw Road, will pre-

mittee which is planning a tour ofI
the campus for the out-of-town vis-
itors. Mrs. Alexander G. Ruthven will

opponents. The 10 participants with
the highest scores made over a pe-
riod of several weeks shoot on a spe-
cified date. The five highest of these
scores are selected and mailed to the
competing university.
Besides the more serious tourna-
ments, such contests as shoulder to
shoulder matches with the R.Q.T.C.
men are held. The men defeated the
women last Januaryby eight-tenths
of a point and will be challenged by
the women to a return match some
time in March. Tea will be served in
the lounge following the contest.
Since the team is a member of the
National Rifle Association, the gov-
ernment furnishes the University
with rifles, ammunition, and targets.
A telescope worth $1,000 arrived on
Monday. With this the scorer from
behind the lines is able to determine
the spot where the bullet strikes.
The range is laid in the basement
of the Women's Athletic Building op-
posite the bowling alleys. The wo-
men, garbed in slacks and sailor
pants, lie on saw dust mattresses
and shoot at paper targets suspended
fromi wires at the farther end of the
room. The team is most fortunate in
having as its coach, Captain Arthur
B. Custis, who has both the patience
and experience to obtain the best
results.

oSonsorsExhibit
Of PlgntDesin
The current exhibit of Plant Forms
in Ornament, sponsored by the Amer-
ican Federation of Arts and on view
in the ground floor corridor of the
Architectural Building, represents the
work of students from schools of art
in and around New York City, includ-
ing Pratt Institute, the Washington
Irving School, and the School of Ap-
plied and Fine Arts. For the most
part, the designs are worked out in
patterns developed from such homely
plant forms as the tulip, the lily; or
the oak leaf. Even the geranium and
the hydrangea are converted into
stylized motifs.
The many ornamental uses of plant
forms are suggested on the various
cards displayed. Jacket designs, mag-
azine advertisements, textile prints,
wall paper and tile designs are but
a few of the many ideas suggested.
One of the most interesting items in
the collection is a jacket design for
W. H. Hudson's "Green Mansions."
It is the work of a student from
the New York School of Fine and
Applied Arts, and consists of a sim-
plified floral design done i varying
shades of green. Another interesting
contribution is "The Paradise of the
Pacific," a symmetrical study in
orange and brown
The exhibit is sponsored by the
Federation for the cultivation of
taste and the development of the
arts. It is open daily, except Sunday,
from 9 a. m. to 6 p. m. until Feb.
26.
