To ' THE MICHIGAN DAILY Zones Choose Delegates T o ew Assemhly Non-Affiliated Women In League Houses, Dorms, Meet To Elect Officers Sponsoring the formation of a new assembly which will give the women unaffiliated with campus sororities equal Vowei and representation with Panhellenic on the League Board of Representatives, Senior Society mem- bers headed meetings for the purpose of organization of the zones during the past week. Election of officers for the new zones was the primary consideration at the meetings. A president and a ice-president, both of whom will sit on the Assembly, and an athletic chairman who will be a member of the Intramural Athletic Board were elected. Outside the dormitories the campus has been divided into nine zones. Zones are composed of about 40 women each, and include those living out in private homes as well as League houses. First Successful Attempt This is the first time that success has crowned the hopes of the unaffil- iated women who have long wished for adequate organization on the campus. The possibilities opened up as a result of a highly integrated in- dependent group may only be glimpsed at present, but include both social and political, as well as aca- demic, interests. The League activities board and thc W. A, A. committee will have an accurate list of the interests among the independent women, from a sys- tem of cards which will be filed at the League. These cards have been checked according to the activities in which the women are interested, and each one will be informed when try- outs'or organization is to be held. Zone Officers Mgrjorie Napes will be the first president and representative on the Assembly from Zone 'I. Kathrine Becker was elected vice-president, and Louise Nack athletic chairman The houses of the zone are: Augs- burger, Cozad, Stapleton, Duff and * Coon. Eleanor Peterson was elected tc head Zone II, with Dorothy Triplet, and Betty Hutchison filling the other posts.

Knit Your Own' Is Byword 9t Smart And Thrifty Co-ed Knitted wear seems to be steadily gaining in popularity. For those who awaken seemingly in the middle of the night, to trudge to those bleak eight o'clocks, nothing is more con- soling than to slip into a wooly swea- ter. And everyone is "knitting her own." Knitting doesn't take time. It saves time. Since one can attend meetings, rest, "bull," and knit at the same time, it is truly a balm to the conscien- tious. And there is such a great sat- isfaction in actually wearing what one makes herself. The more ambitious and practiced co-eds have taken it up on a larger scale. They are not only knitting sweaters, but entire suits or charming two-piece or one-piece dresses. Because this is football season, and the bleachers are never steam-heated, ma ny enthusiasts have adopted that original idea of knitting their own scarfs, mitts, and berets. Knitted ap- parel is extremely durable and very good-looking. Don't waste time, keep warm, and pick up all your stitches since "a stitch in time saves nine." 19 YEARS LATE BALTIMORE, Oct. 5- 0P) -A Bal- timorean went to Oriole Park here to Fur Trims For Fall Potential J.G.P. Authors Urged To Place Stress On Treatment Elizabeth Cauthen Weds Frank Gilbreth Sept. 29 Mrs. Henry Jennings Cauthen an- nounces the marriage of her daugh- ter, Elizabeth, to Frank B. Gilbreth on Sept. 29, at Charleston, S. C. (By Associated Press) This suit in the popular three-quar- ter length makes good use of a soft beaver trim. Many of the suits for late fall wear favor an abundance of fur. Smart Sportswear To Be Popular At First Game Today Today is the day we have been an- ticipating for more than two weeks, the day we've been hoping the weath- er would be perfect for that we might wear our choicest spectator sport clothes. The next game here is two weeks hence and beyond a doubt it will be time for far heavier garb - so now is our chance. The best choice for the game will be a heavy twin-sweater outfit with a plaid skirt, a brimmed hat, espe- cially if our tickets demand that we sit on the east side of the stadium, pig skin gloves, and heavy low-heeled shoes. Another equally suitable choice of garb might be the swagger suit. Prob- ably we shall have to carry the coat or slip it off during the game because the late afternoon sun has a tendency to be very warm. Be sensibly dressed for this game because the walk to the field demands a comfortable shoe. Be smartly dressed since it is still warm enough that we needn't bundle up. And if the storm clouds gather be certain to carry a rubber cape or a slicker. Nothing can be more discouraging than to ruin the fur on a new coat or to spot a felt hat. Alumnae Club Hold First FallMeeting The first fall meeting of the Sigma Kappa Alumnae Club was held at 6 p.m. last Thursday at the home of Miss Wilma Crawford, 1321 N.

New alumnae in Ann Arbor are asked to call Miss Robinson at 2-2897 if they are interested.

"HINTS TO J.G.P. PLAYWRIGHTS" Ii you have followed the hints about getting a background (c.f. article in Tuesday's issue of The Daily), you are undoubtedly now in a position to sit down and whip off the great Amer- ican drama, or at least the greatest) J.G.P. in the thirty-odd years of its existence. There are, however, a few things you should keep in mind when sitting down to write this play of yours. 1. As to Subject Matter. Don't have any preconcieved ideas as to what kind of a show the central com- mittee is out to get. Last year the committee felt that the college theme in J.G.P.'s had been worked to death, and got a show about "nobody who ever went to school." But that is no reason that this year's committee feels that away. If you have a good idea for a college show, don't throw it away for some second class idea. Remember, one of the funniest shows in New York last year did things with the college plot we didn't know could be done. On the other hand, if you have a good idea for a show not about college, don't squelch it. Remember the stu- dent today is no longer collegian, he is vitally interested in affairs outside his campus world, and you might be a wise playwright indeed to reflect this interest in your play. Whatever your subject matter, write it with an eye to the popular campus audience of to- day, and the Committee is (all for you. Beware Of Satire II. Beware of this sort of play. Ex- ample: You are looking around for an unusual idea for a play. Mars is an unusual idea. You could be modern about Mars, because nobody knows anything about it. Odd costumes. Ex- travadgantscenery. Girl from earth gets stranded up there. Thing to be a grand burlesque and satire on all things of this our capitalistic world - The thing to beware of in a play of this sort is, it has no plot. And people who go to the theatre, for the sort of play you are writing, like sat- ire, burlesquing, extravagance, but they like it, all subservient to good plot. Extravagance alone is the rea- ichigan Co-ed Becomes Bride ThisMorning Miss Mary Paul, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Paul, will become the bride of Mr. Lawrence Frederick Rat- terman, '34, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Ratterman, at a very simple fall wed- ding at 9:30 this morning in St. Thomas church. The ceremony will take place at low mass and Father Babcock will officiate. Miss Paul has chosen Miss Clar- ibel Ratterman, sister of the groom, for her only attendant. Mr. Patrick Ratterman will assist his brother as best man. For her wedding, Miss Paul has se- lected a charming blue crepe model, and will carry an arm bouquet of Jo- hanna Hill roses, tied with tulle in fall colors. Miss Ratterman will wear a Spanish tile dress trimmed with mink. Her tailored gown will be set off by an arm bouquet of French marigold and baby breath. Both the bride's and groom's mothers have chosen morning dresses of black and white. Following the ceremony, there will be a wedding breakfast for the family at the Paul residence on Shadford Rd. After a motor trip through Ten- nessee and Kentucky, the couple will be at home in Cincinnati. Miss Paul was affiliated with Collegiate Sorosis sorority and Mr. Ratterman was a1 member of Beta Theta Pi. Law School Graduate Leads Drill In Dexter Miss Grace Carleton, a graduate of the law school; attended the open- ing meeting of the Dexter Women's Study club yesterday. Miss Carleton conducted a drill in parliamentary usage. Miss Carleton is parliamentarian of the Sarah Caswell Angell chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution .and of the Washtenaw County Federation of Women's clubs. son why the last part of the movie musical "Dames" was so bad, it was extravagant to no point. Remember,.j Frank Gilbreth is a graduate of the it is difficult for satire, burlesque, class of 1933. He is a member of Al- andunuuanes t stnd n hei ipha Delta Phi fraternity and was and unusualness to stand on their managing editor of the Michigan own legs. Like the well-known "gag", Daily his senior year. He is also they often go flat, and there is noth- a member of the Michigamua. ing worse. Razzing and splendor are most successful when they are inci- dental rather than fundamental to a show. Be Simple, Direct III. Don't be too afraid of being Trite. It is better to be trite, simple, direct, to use stock characters thrh try the extremes of originality. A simple plot, simply handled, with con- ventional characters, makes a pretty good musical show. Because the first thing about a musicl =how is -it should move. The complication should be in music, dancing, and satire not in story and character. One should be on the lookout for clever and surprise twists for one's story, but one shouldn't make a play out of these two things alone. IV. Make your dialogue actable.' Think of how it will sound when spoken aloud. Shun "Gag Humor" V. Try to let your humor spring from your plot and characters, and let it be situation humor and charac- ter humor. Shun gag humor as you would the devil. Even at it's best it isn't any good. It is the lowest con- ceivable trick of playwriting, even if Shakespeare did indulge in it. VI. Don't worry too much about how music and dancing will fit into your play. Spend this time worrying about, and improving your haracters, plot, and dialogue. VII. Write your play in as many acts and scenes as you want to, but remember the best span of attention for the audience is from twenty to thirty minutes. Elections Are Held At Alumnae House Roselyn Chapel, '35, was elected president of Alumnae House when election of officers was held recently. Other officers chosen at this time were Louise Juckett, '37, vice presi- dent; Beulah Kanter, '37, secretary; Betty Roberts, '38, treasurer.

HUTZEL SHOPS The couple will make their home at Charleston. League Urges Women To File Activities Cards All women on campus are re- quested to fill out the Activities cards available at the League, eith- er in the office of Miss Ethel Me- Cormick, social director, or in the Undergraduate office. These cards list the various campus activities, and women may check all in which they are interested.
