Sigma Gamma Epsilon
Holds Informal Initiation
Eight new members were initiated
into Sigma Gamma Epsilon, national
honorary geological fraternity, at an
initiation banquet held recently at
the Union. The initiates are Cam-
eron A. Baker, '35, Henry F. Donner,
Grad., Frederick K. Heiler, Grad.,
George F. Kyser, Grad., Frederick R.
Matson, Grad., Kenneth G. Wals-
worth, '35, W. H. Buettner, Preparat-
or in Palentology, and Prof. G. H.
Ehlers, of the geology department.
Henry F. Donner, Grad, was the
principal speaker at the banquet, dis-
cussing his experiences in South Afri-

o'clock. And that effective "spring
note" could be a little nosegay of
bright yellow buttercups for your
lapel.
Printed Ensembles Good
When you come to afternoon
dresses there are so many to choose
from that you will be thrilled by
the variety in fabric, color, and line.
A printed ensemble can beusefulas
well as devastating. The dresses are
simple, short-sleeved affairs, button-
ing with deceptive demureness right
up .to your chin. The redingote, us-
ually a sheer wool in a dark color, can
be worn over all your spring dresses.
Taffeta in Spotlight
Taffeta will be hard to resist this
spring. It has demanded the spot-
light in the springwardrobe. A black
taffeta dress with all its edges bound
in two brilliant colors is sure to
make its appeal.
Accessories with these costumes are
attuned to the feminine mood, frilly,
frothy, and very much spring. A dark
hat, to match your redingote, with
the veil in the back will add charm
to your dinner dates. Kid gloves,

Will Hear Ford
Talk1On Taxes
Dr. Robert S. Ford, assistant pro-
fessor .of economics and research
investigator in the bureau of govern-
ment, will speak at the monthly
luncheon meeting of the Ann Arbr
League of Women Voters which will
be held at 12:15 p.m. tomorrow at
the League.
Tax legislation will be the subject
of Dr. Ford's discussion. Measures
such as the proposal for cancella-
tion of delinquent taxes and for a
state income tax which are now under
consideration in the Legislature will
be treated. Other measures to be
discussed will include the proposed
tax custodian bill, amendments to
the sales tax, and other matters af-
fecting the tax system. Dr. Ford will
explain some of the bills and give his
opinions concerning them.
Dr. Ford, before coning to the
University last fall, served on the
New York State tax commission. He
received his doctor of philosophy de-
gree at Columbia University.
The department of government and
its operation under the chairmanship
of Mrs. Frank DeVine is in charge
of the meeting. Guests from Dexter
and Milan have been invited to at-
tend. Those desiring reservations
must call the League by tonight.
Medical Sorority
Initiates Freshmen
Alpha Chapter of Alpha Epsilon
Iota sorority held its formal initiation
Saturday afternoon at the chapter
house. The following women from
the freshman medical class were
initiated: Leonora Nash, Wilhelmina
Van Dyke, Alice Burton, Helen Ha-
gey, Doris Whitney, Elizabeth Kit-
chen, and Anne Kowaliczyn.
-The service was followed by a ban-
quet at the home of Mrs. L. W. O-
phant in Barton Hills. Among the
guests present were: Dr. Ruth Wan-
strom, Dr. Jeanne Solis, Dr. Laura A.
Lane, Dr. Evelyn Weeks, Dr. Margaret
White of Detroit, Dr. Melissa Worth
of Ypsilanti, Mrs. Carl V. Weller, Dr.
Tryphina Humphrey, and Dr. Ger-
trude Mitchell and Dr. Edna Jones
of Northville.
PRESIDENT TO ENTERTAIN
Mrs. Fred T. Lockwood of Jackson,
president of the Michigan branch of
the International Order of King's
Daughters and Sons, will be enter-
tained at the home of President and
Mrs. Alexander G. Ruthven, Friday.
purse, and shoes of the same color
as the hat will accent the bright
colors of your dresses.dAdd arbunch
of violets to tuck under your chin
for the "individual touch."
Evening Wear Is Feminine
However trim you are in daytime,
however sharp and clear your lines,
in the evening you must blossom out
in something truly feminine. You
must float - be diaphonous - a wisp,
a cloud. The Greek influence, with
its soft, lovely fabrics, perhaps will
bing out your figure marvelously.
A white chiffon with a swirling skirt
to bellow around you as you sail out
to dance is particularly effective. Or
perhaps you would prefer cascades of
white net ruffles (turned up instead
of down) with a white taffeta draped
top.
Choose Accessories Carefully
The Greek sandal of crepe, laced
intricately across the toe, would be
ideal with either of these dresses. A
white crepe evening bag with match-
ing gloves that flaunt wired cuffs
complete the picture. Whichever you
prefer, try to catch the spirit of the
spring night.
If carefully chosen, these three cos-
tumes with their diversifications
should place you at the head of the
list of best-dressed college women;
but the point lies in combining colors
and fabrics effectively. With care-
ful planning it can be done. Try it,
it's fun!
Alpha Nu Wins
Argument With
Sigma Rho Tau
Alpha Nu, honorary speech fra-
ternity, defeated Sigma Rho Tau, en-
gineering college forensic society, in a
debate last night in the Union on the
topic: "Resolved, That the United
States Should Own and Operate All
Electric Power Systems."
The argument of Alpha Nu, which
took the affirmative were considered
"mildly more potent" by Prof.Shorey
Peterson of the economics depart-
ment, who judged the debate.
Reinforcing their vocal arguments
with illustrations designed to show
the relative costs and efficiency of
publicly owned plants, the two teams
frequently found themselves "point-
ing with alarm and viewing with con-
tempt." During the course of the de-
bate, the Alpha Nu men observed that
"engineers can still do anything with
figures." This statement, intended to
summarize the negative case, was
hotly contested by the Sigma Rho
Tau speakers.
The Alpha Nu team was composed
of George Sipprell, '37; Frank C. Ald-
rich, Jr., '37; and Karl R. Nelson, '37.
The Sigma Rho Tau debaters were
Ralph Laidlaw, '38E; George F. Wahl,
'36E; and Morris B. Heimann, '36E.
Purdom To Speak
At P.T.A. Congress
Dr. T. Luther Purdom, director of
the University Bureau of Appoint-
ments and Occupational Information,
is at present in Miami, Florida at-
tending the National Congress of Par-
ent-Teachers Association of Amer-
ica, an annual meeting of the na-
tion's parents and teachers.
The object of the conference is to
effect a better understanding and a
more complete cooperation between
the educators and the parents of this
country. This cooperation will lead
to the employment of more beneficial
methods of instruction in the future.
Dr. Purdom will address the con-
gress on the subject of "Guidance
and Personnel." The session will con-
tinue for three days, and by studying
various theories and practices, is ex-
pected to aid and supplement the
present methods of education.
ATHENA SOCIETY MEETS
Elsie Kessel, '37, and Virginia York,
'36Ed., were chief performers on the
program presented before Athena Lit-
erary society at its regular weekly
meeting last night. Miss Kessel gave
an impersonation, "Wives in a Social
Game," and Miss York presented a
humorous reading.

dent, and Mrs. John F. Shepard, vice-
president, leading a discussion by
members on their favorite reading in
literature.
All of the
panies seem
selvesthis spring in creating lovely
new shades and styles. Dark blue
being particularly popular in dresses,
the same color may be found in a very tertained patrons of the sorority and
sheer hose, an effect which needs to deans at dinner last night. Green
be tried to be appreciated. Or if one
doesn't prefer so much dark blue, an- apers and white snap dragons were
other gorgeous shade, much lighter, used as decorations.
called bluestone, is also very new. Guests of the sorority were: Dean
Offer New Shades Alice Lloyd, Miss Jeannette Perry,
In browns, the sun-tan shades are
still very popular, ranging from light
shades which look like one's own skin
after a summer at the beach, through
darker colors, two in particular, mi-
amitan and wave, being especially
striking. Carib, a new shade which
tones in with grey and which may
be worn with anything, is also very
new and comes in the new knee-
lengths which have to be so popular.
With all these new colors, the hosiery
problem has really become an inter-
esting one.
Blue Shoes Popular
Summer shoes are also always ex-
citing about this time of year, and
this spring more than ever. Again
dark blue steps to the front and
claims scores of new fashions in
sandals, eyelet ties, and pumps. A
great deal of blue and white is used
together and /ias a way of rejuve-
nating an old dress that is almost un-
believable.
Contrasts In Shoes
White buckskin is also good, one
style in particular being very clever
with brown toes and heels and with a
wide strap over the instep. Sport
oxfords have really broken away from
all tradition this year and have burst
forth in combinations of all the
brightest colors imaginable. White
shoes with colored tongues are espe-
cially popular.
Judges Choose
6 For Reading
Contest Finals
The preliminaries of the Poetry
Reading Contest were held at the
regular meetings of Prof. Richard D.
T. Hollister's classes in Oral Inter-
pretations. The contest was open,
however, to all students. Of the 10
people who gave readings, the judges
chose the following to compete again
in the finals: Ralph S. Bell, '37,
Phyllis E. Blauman, '37, Grace K.
Gray, '37, Dorothy E. Ohrt, '37, Wil-
ma Rattenbury, '37, and Marian
M. Sanders, '37.
The finals will take place after
May Festival; the exact time will be
announced in the D.O.B. Professor
Hollister chose the judges. They
include Prof. Louis M. Eich and Prof.
Floyd K. Riley of the speech depart-
ment, and Thomas Ford, Kenneth
Dow, Miss Dorothy Scholl, and Ray-
mon Cassell. . The members of the
class also handed in judgments as
practice, and the general public was
invited to attend.
Mr. Bell's presentation included
Sandburg's "Killing" and Kipling's
"Danny Dever." Miss Blauman also
chose Kipling and read his impressive
"Recessional." Miss Gray gave sever-
al short selections including Brown-
ing's "Nay, But You."
Miss Ohrt also read Browning. Her
choice was "The Musical Instrument,"
besides which she read Noyes' "The
Barrel Organ." Death seemed to be
the central theme of Miss Ratten-
bury's program, for she read Tenny-
son's "Crossing the Bar," Field's "Lit-
tle Boy Blue," and Longfellow's "The
Famine." Miss Sanders read Millay's
"Childhood Is the Land Where No-
body Dies" and Lowell's "Patterns."
