Distinguished Visitor inspects
Women's Self-Governing Body

By ELEANOR BLUMj
Miss May Ward, dean of women
at the University of Washington, vis-
it-d the offices of dean of women
and the League, interviewing mem-
bers of both faculty and student1
body here yesterday. She came di-
rectly from the conference of deans
at Cleveland, and is now making a
tour of various universities inquir-
ing about women's government. She
has already visited Northwestern
University and will go east from-
here.
In return for answers to her ques-
tions on student problems, Miss Ward
was quite willing to answer any in-
quiries on Washington's system.
Although the University of Wash-
ington was founded in 1860 it has
been what would be called an urban
university for only six or seven years,
she said. For that reason, it is just
beginning to meet some of the prob-
lems which Michigan already has
encountered.
Late Permission Granted
Hour regulations, for example, is
cue of the difficulties that they are
facing. With a student body of ap-
proximately 7,000, 3,000 of whom are I
women, they are faced with differ-
ent phases of the questions than
Michigan is, inasmuch as so many of
their students are townspeople. Fri-.
day and Saturday permission at
Washington is now 1 a. m., she said,
but with town parties starting so
late, requests for late permission are
becoming more frequent.
At present, women are allowed
what they term "week-day cuts,"
that is, late permission on the basis
of their class standing. Their sys-
tem was of interest to women onj
this campus in view of the impend-
ing vote on late permission for sen-
iors. Seniors there are allowed four
"cuts" a quarter; juniors, three;
sophomores, two; and freshmen, if
their scholarship is good, one.
Student Government
The Student Standard Committee
at Washington has final vote on stu-
dent government matters. "We have
never had a situation where some
arrangement could not be made be-
tween the office of the dean and the
students' organization," she said.
Regular weekly conferences between
the chairman of the standards com-
inittee and Dean Ward help to elim-

Early Spring Suits
Settle Dificulties Of
Perplexed Co-Eds'
What does one wear when one
thinks it is going to be spring and
it isn't? This isn't a passage froin
Alice in Wonderland, neither is it a
question destined to take the place
of honor on one our dear Univer-
sity's dear, dear intelligence tests. It
is merely one of nature's conundrums,
one which this season of the year
calls forth to baffle the poor strug-
;ling student just when she thinks
that the passing of examinations has
left her at peace with the world.
The answer to the question varies.
It depends greatly on the extent to
which it isn't spring in the outside
world, but it can usually be answered
by the one word -suit. No matter
what the weather, there is always a
suit to suit (pardon us.) Especially
fitting is the four-piece suit which
combines a long coat with a shorter
Eton jacket, one or the other of
which can be shed if the weather
proves surprising, in other words if
the weather man sends showers in-
stead of blizzards, which is very un-
likely.
Such a suit is not the only type
worn for a heavy winter suit -or a
lighter one with a fur collar can be
combined with one of the new Mex-
ican print blouses or with a light
silk one to give the desired spring-
like touch.
A silk print worn beneath 'a heavy
coat provides the proper combina-
tion of practicality and spring spirit
and a silk ascot giving a touch of
color to en old wool dress also bright-
ens the winter coat worn for com-
fort's sake.
J)iicing ChSS Is
Given For Faculty
Members of the dancing class met
last night for initial lessons, These
classes were begun again this semes-
ter at the request of several members
of the faculty who were unable to
attend last term, Miss Ethel McCor-
mick, who is in charge of the classes,
stated.'
Further lessons will be held during
the week. Beginners will meet tonight
under the instruction of Roland Ful-
ton, League dancing instructor, and
Kiss McCormick. A class for students
of advanced dancing will neet Thurs-
day.
o I To Meet
i Ballioom Df Leaguv
The Ann Arbor Women's Club will
meet at 2:30 p. m. today in the ball-
ro>m of the League. The g u e s t
.peaker, Dr 0. R. Yoder, asistant
superintendent of' Ypsilanti State
hospital, will discuss the subject of
mental health. The program will
also include several vocal solos by
Dean Alice Lloyd. b
At the next meeting, a week from
tcday, officers for the coming year
will be elected.
FOR COCKTAIL PARTIES
PARIS, Feb. 26 --Ul}- Lady Men-
dl, the former Elsie de Wolfe, at-
tedda recent cocktail party given
by the Baroness Robert de Roth-
schild wearing an afternoon frock of
black wool with a breitschwantz cape

inate such difficulties, she believes.
This committee, which does a great
deal toward influencing c a m p u s
opinion, as well as fulfilling law-
making duties, is made up of the
presidents of the Association of Wo-
men's Students; of Panhellenic; of
Phrateres, the independent women's
federation; of Mortarboard, and of
Totem Club, a local honorary society.
Dean Ward was interested in
Michigan methods of adjusting the
newcomer to his surroundings. At
Washington, they have a freshman
week equivalent to Michigan's Ori-
entation Period; in addition, get-ac-
quainted parties are sponsored regu-
larly. Names for these parties are
secured from any number of sources,
faculty and students alike.
Plan Student Center
Since they have not yet acquired
fa Union or League, Washington stu-
dents are also considerably interested
in similar organizations. They plan,
however, in the future, to have a
building which will serve for both
men and women, with a wing spe-
cially given over to each, and a
central part to be devoted to activi-
ties in which both men and women
participate.
Gangsters' Chorus
Carries Out Theme
QfUnderworld Lift
By Marie J. Murphy
"Come now, you are not supposed
to be 'debs'! You're molls! Get that
big city atmosphere!"
Marie Heid, '35, dance chairman,
called to 12 young women as they
went about their steps for "Gang's
All There," to be produced by the
junior women March 21 to 24.
"And the rest of you,", she said
to the other dozen standing around
the room, "you practice a real slouch.
You never saw a gangster stand on
one foot like that!"
This chorus, Miss Heid explained
to a perplexed reporter, is to be a
group of "mugs" and "molls" danc-
ing in the streets of a big city. The
dancers have been clever enough in
learning their steps but since the
majority of them have not had a
great deal of experience with the
underworld they are having trouble
getting the spirit of their parts.
"They have been reading all the
dime novels available, seeing gang-
ster novels, and following the crime
stories in the Sunday papers," Miss
Heid explained gravely.
There is considerable work involv-
ed, she said, in producing a show
that is so divorced from college life,
for the women have to build up a
feeling for their parts. It is twice
as difficult to act as a real "mug" as
it would be to represent a college
man, with whose characteristics and
mannerisms they are well acquainted.
"The dancers are really studying
these characters and are gradually
acquiring the gestures and expres-
sions that characterize those types,"
the dance chairman said.
Spring Fashions Bring
arrings to The Fore
For years our ears have been so
artfully concealed by our tresses that
only the longest kind of a dangling
earring could be seen, and in conse-
quence earrings practically disap-
peared from the daytime mode. Now
ears are again in evidence, and they
really require some sort of an orna-
mrent to complete the picture. The
result is that the jewelers have
created a whole series of fascinating
new clip, button and stud earrings
to wear with sports, street and after-
noon clothes.

II I
In spite of the descending mercury
and general blizzardy atmosphere al-
most everyone on campus turned out
Saturday night to attend some party
or another.
At the Pi Beta Phi house the
pledges entertained the actives with a
formal dance. Ann Osborne, house
president, wore pale pink crepe, sim-
ply cut on grecian lines. Bright
orange with narrow brilliant straps
was chosen by Marian Giddings, and
Harriet Heath, pledge president, was
seen tangoing in a wine red frock
with beaded top.
Brack Shaw furnished one maiden
with help on the problem of the elu-
sive train, very gallantly holding it
up for her during one dance. Bill
Blaser, Gargoyle humorist, and John
Kowalik, star guard, also furnished
atmosphere. Pat Daly wore a becom-
ing frock of light blue with sequin
touches, and Margaret Hiscock ap-
peared in chartreuse crepe with a
ruff around the neck. Orange and
flame helped dispel the cold outside.
Doris Gimmy and Dorothy Roth both
chose the former, and Betty Van
Winkle the latter. White lace was
worn by Ruth Bradner, and the ever-
popular black by Martha Steen and
Betty Woodhams.r
At the Alpha Xi Delta winter for-
mal, Jean Botsford, former J.G.P.
chairman, appeared in black simply
cut with a rhinestone buckle on the
belt, and Jean Bentley, in purple
crepe. White lace with a Queen Eliz-
abeth collar was chosen by blonde
Ethel Olsen, and Kitty Rucker wore
a chictblack gown with a tiny frill
of white organdie edging the deco l-
letage. Faith Crittenden, one of the
Lovely Ladies in the Soph Cabaret,
wore silver lame with a wide band
of black fur in an off-the-shoulder
