U t ' Prof. Meinecke Gives Recital At High School Prof. Bruno Meinecke of the Lat- in department gave a violin lecture and recital before a high school au- dience last night in Gladwin. The recital was given under the--auspices of the Extension Division of the University. Professor Meinecke discussed the' violin as a musical instrument, and described its history, construction and technique. His program con- sisted of nine numbers ranging from the strictly classical to the modern. In the afternoon "Requisites for True Listening To Music" was the topic of Professor Meinecke's lecture. He accompanied the talk by a prac- tical demonstration on the piano in- cluding one of his own compositions. CHAPTER HOUSE ACTIVITY NOTES_ Mosher Hall entertained Union Opera cast at tea. Several sororities announce pledgings and hold formal initiations. Zeta Tau Alpha gives faculty dinner. Alpha Chi Omega Alpha Chi Omega sorority held for- mal initiation on Monday for the following 11 girls: Dorothy Anderson, '36, Grand Rapids; Marybelle Bouch- ard, '36, Ann Arbor; Katherine Bur- gess, '36, Detroit; Betty Cooper, '37, Grosse Pointe; Ruth Dorsey, '36,1 Highland Park; Marjorie Kress, '36,1 Highland Park; Eleanor Gessnor, '37,1 Depart, Ia.; Grace Lamb, '36, High- land Park; Jean Nelson, '36, High- land Park; Eva Spenser, '37, Detroit; and Katharine Zabriskis, Grad., De- troiate D g uaa uvau uiorce action naa been started by her husband, Clif- ford Warren Smith. 'NIX& NAX With the rapid advent of the holi- day season, everyone is more or less pressed for time, and the very thought of "Time" suggests a gift that is both distinctive and useful. The modern1 clocks, and especially those equipped with electric motors, have attained their climax of perfection in beauty of case, quietness and dependability, One of the newest and most striking models comes in a choice of "White, African" or "Green Sam" Raphael onyx. The five inch square case is strongly supported by a back foot rest. It has a buffed and lacquered gold-finished bezel with etched-in- white Roman numerals. The gold-fin- ished hands are also buffed and lac- quered. If you favor just the plain, practical alarm, two very smart styles are of- fered. One is a pleasing design for the dresser or boudoir table. The case is of black moulded material, set in a moulded ivory base, while an ivory Catalin alarm shut-off knob com- pletes the color contrast. Another alarm is cleverly made with a dial that can be clearly illu- minated through diffusing glass by means of a tiny lamp that burns bright or dim, as you desire. It has a "dura-alloy" case with a non-tarnish- ing finish and a moulded black base. "Signalette" Is Popular A more disguised alarm clock is called a "signalette" and is made in the popular and modern easel-type pattern. Its polished gold-finish metal frame and supports, presents a strik- ing contrast to its glossy black, plas- tic base. Has Illuminated Dial A more elaborate style has the illuminated dial and is also equippedI W.A.A. To Hold Ski, Tobogganing PartyI W.A.A. is sponsoring a skiing and tobogganing party from 2 to 4 p.m. today in the Arboretum. Following the outdoor activities, hot chocolate will be served in the lounge of Pal- mer Field House. Betty Evans, '36, W.A.A. outdoor sport manager is in charge of the affair. Women attending can either- buy their own equipment or use the skiis and toboggans'supplied free of charge by W.A.A. Anyone interested is in- vited and special instruction will be given beginners. - A. tAR '/0 1splayeu Several nude mezzo-tints, made by a recently developed process, are on dig y in the concourse. These were mdde by Prof. Mastro Valerio of the art department, who is one of the most skilled artists in the country along this particular line. Mezzo- with a unique 24-hour automatic alarm feature. The latter allows one to set the bell to ring at, for example, 7 a.m. and have it remain silent at 7 p.m. It comes in attractively mould- ed walnut color, with gold-finished handle and feet. Naturally, the kitchen needs ac- curate dependable electric time, and to meet this want is a distinctive wall-model. It comes in a chrome- plated brass case with "Beetle" moulded bezel and is available in green, white, blue, or red. For the home-study or office, the model called "minitman" is smart with its modernistic lines. It has a brown mahogany case that is cleverly blended and matched by Satinwood ornamental front and top panels, and a statuary bronze escutcheon plate. Three druni-type dials indicate the hours and minutes that pass by on a revolving disc. A small electric lamp illuminates the numerals. Shown Without Alarms For those who care more for refine- ment of case, several beautiful models are made without the alarm. One is appropriately named the "starman," because tiny stars replace the cus- tomary numerals on the dials. It comes in a square wood panel case of ldcquer-finished walnut, with a chrome plated band and a black dial with silver stars. Reverting to Colonial days for its design is the half-size banjo wall model clock. It has a mahogany case with colored glass panels, underneath which is inlaid an early American "clipper-ship" scene. It is ideal for either the living-room or bedroom wall.j 'Give Us Rhythm' Closes Run TodayI The Michigan Union Opera, "GiveI Us Rhythm," now playing at Lydia Mendelssohn Theater, will close its five-day run today with two per- formances, a matinee at 3:30 p.m. and the regular night performance at 8:30 p.m. After the completion of the run in Ann Arbor, there will be a possibil- ity that the opera may go on the road, covering nearby cities in either the week preceding or the week fol- lowing Christmas vacation, accord- ing to unofficial statements of opera heads who have declared that there has been considerable agitation by alumni of the University for a topr. According to opera officials tickets for today's performances, priced at 75 cents, $1, and $1.25 for the matinee and $1, $1.25, and $1.50 for the night performance, may be secured from the box-office of Lydia Mendelssohn Theater. ie tAe.cn, VVIwI £kir116Ja J esue nim, r r , - w u W . .

Pencil Sketches Shown Professor Fairbanks is also dis- playing pencil sketches of his sons, which arp unusually effective. Al- though these are not for sale, orders may be placed for similar sketches. Some striking pastels by Frederic Aldrich of the art department are being shown. An unusual faithful- ness of detail is found in a brilliant] still life of a bowl of chrysanthemums, while an unusual fall landscape is , outstanding for the vivid reds of the colorings of the trees. (An apple orchard, in soft shades of greens and blues, with masses of white blossoms is an unusually beautiful painting.) I A group of etchings by Wilfred B. Shaw, Dr. Warren Lombard, profes- sor-emeritus of physilogy, and Jona- thon Taylor, are exceptional features of the exhibit. Vivid water colors, done with dashing strokes are shown by Mrs. May Brown and John Clark- son. In the art exchange room Ross T. Bittinger of the art school is ex- hibiting unusual prints.

At the Tnlvmrsity Flower Shop you'll find th,,IPeinsettias are still the most ppropriate. And there are some icycly deep red carnations and oie that are pure white . . . they'd make a striking combina- tion for any seasonal color scheme you r nay choose. You can also leave orders now to be filled any time during vacation . . . it's a good way to meet those slightly formal requirements. [ERE'S a suggestion gleaned from our Gadding that may apply either to the masculine or feminine gift problem. At Burr- Patterson-Auld's we found a wall plaque . . .and what a gift it would make for one and all . . .from the oldest grad to the newest frosh! It's a solid government bronze Michigan seal mounted on a shield of American walnut . . . at the highly special sale price of only $1.95. THILE treking about town with the eagle eye peeled for gift suggestions we saw an unusually good specialty at the Fifth Avenue Shop. They're offering group cos- metics and perfumes at surpris- ingly low prices. The groups are varied. . . some contain powder and creams, others include mas- cara, eye-shadow, and lipstick. And we don't mean just ordinary powder . . . it's specially blended just for you and you get so much more than in the other boxes that it's a real economy. TE SEEM to be reaching the crest of the wave as the vaca- tion season draws on . . . the best way we know to keep your wave at crest is to drop in at DiMattia's for a thorough "going over!" A facial will make you feel fit and up to most anything, and when you've had a shampoo and wave with all the trimmings, you'll look the part of "Come what may . . . ." Let's all out for a "well-groomed Christ- mas!" 7 1bY4N rrTO#*('G T FR q~f$A -qq s t DeltaDelta Delta sorority an- nounces the pledging of Margaret L. Sharpe, '36, Bay City.

Mosher Hall News The residents of Mosher Hall en- tertained the entire cast of the Union Opera at a tea Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Martha L. Ray and Miss Kath- erine Koch were hostesses. Those who poured were Mrs. Wilbur R. Humph- reys, Mrs. Charles A. Sink, Mrs. Kath- leen Codd, Miss Sarah Rowe, Miss Ruth Pfohl, and Miss Ann Vardon. Christmas trees and Christmas dec- orations added a colorful touch of holiday spirit. Music was furnished by Bill Marshall. Zeta Tau Alpha Zeta Tau Alpha entertained at a -faculty dinner Wednesday at which, Prof. and Mrs. Hirsch Hootkins, Prof.' and Mrs. Roy H. Holmes, Mr. Val- entine Windt, and Mrs. Harold Spie- gel were guests. Tapers and baby mums were used as decorations and the dinner was under the direction of Theresa Mack- ey. '37. Mrs. Jane Stanley has an exten- sive display of water colors portray- ing scenes in the Italian Tyrol, In- Tian life in Arizona, and some famil- iar Ann Arbor scenes, including the University Hospital, and several frat- ernity and sorority houses. Pehaps the loveliest of all these is a large painting of San Xavier mission, on' of the oldest missions in the south- west.
