LY, JANUARY 14, 1936 THE MICHIGAN DAILY i J-Hop Department QYY erry 0do -TOund 'STEPHANIE-- 5 .. -. - y w3 x:ux Klrila xxr _..__. ._...._ .. In spite of the fact that few houses on campus held dances this week-end . . everyone seemed to find lots to do. Of course . . . everyone wanted to attend the first anniversary of one of their favorite stamping grounds . . the Silver Grill . . . and then too . . people were rather curious to see what changes they had made at the Union. At the League there were good crowds there both Friday and Saturday nights. Among those who congregated there on Friday we saw Harriet IHeath and Stek McCallum. . . Harriet wore one of those good looking suits that she knit herself . . . this particular one being red. Jo Wilcox was there with John Seeley and Garnet Waggoner and Flo Harper passed us in the hall and we noticed that Flo was wearing a dark skirt and a light silk blouse. Out In A Cutter*... Lois Ring and Doug Bryant spent part of the evening at the League and then they went cutter riding. It seems that everything went fine until they came to an intersection with cars coming at them in all directions and the horse objected. But now to get back to the Silver Grill . . . Jane O'Ferrall wore a green knit suit . . . and Laura Jane Zimiherman was there in a flame crepe dress. Mary Lou Salisbury and Paul Simpson were sitting at a table together and nearby we saw Mardy Steen and Phil Ordway. On the dance floor we passed Kathryn Keeler and Gertrude Sawyer . .. Kathryn was in blue crepe and Gertrude chose black. The climax of the evening came when the band began to play "Happy Birthday to You" . . . at which point the waiters marched down the center of the ballroom carrying trays of individual birthday cakes . . . each cake was iced in white and topped with one tiny pink candle. At The Birthday Celebration.. . At the League on Saturday the birthday celebration continued ... cakes and all. Mary Garrettson and Ann Timmons were both sitting at the same table . .. Mary had on a brown crepe afternoon dress trimmed in gold . . . and Ann chose a black crepe dress. On the dance floor we saw Margaret Lowry in light green and Nancy Dall in a short green dress that was shirred at the neck . . . Nancy was with Ed Higgins. All in all it was a good week-end at the League and may the Silver Grill have many more birthdays. And now to the Union . . . Friday night marked the opening of the Rainbow Room. Around the ballroom they have placed a single row of tables which are dimly illuminated by candles. Among the first nighters that were there were Loraine DeWail and Bob Thorne . . . Loraine wore a long black skirt with a black and silver taffeta printed blouse. Margaret Lorenz attend- ed with Neil Levenson. . . Elonia Persons. . . who wore black. . . was with Bill McHenry . . . and Ruth Rich and Charles Drennan were together. They ... by the way ... were sitting at a table with Loraine and Bob. Singing With The Orchestra.. .. Clarawanda Sisson sang with the orchestra . . . and she looked stunning in a silver cloth formal with silver and red flowers at the neck and two narrow straps going down to the waist in back. In her hair she wore a silver flower. Barbara Strand also sang and she wore an orange red dinner dress brocaded in gold which contrasted beautifully with her dark hair. Among some of the other girls that were present were Jean Bonisteel and Becky Bursley . . . Becky and Jean both wore black and white ... Dorothy Curtis . . . June Harber . . . and Margaret McCall . . . who wore brown crepe trimmed in gold. Saturday night at great number of people arrived at the Union rather late . .. having first gone to the basketball and hockey games. But even though we did get there rather late ourselves we did have a few minutes to look around. Jean Hatfield was there with Dan Cook . . . Jean chose a green crepe dress for the evening. Virginia Wyatt and Betty Sherk both wore black . . . Betty's dress being trimmed in White lace. Between dances we saw Betty Van Baalen and Grace Snyder talking together . . . Betty was with Jim Ferguson and Grace was with Johnny Starr. The Formal Supper Dance,... Jordan Hall held their annual formal supper dance Friday and it was quite an affair . .. The room was decorated with blue and gold streamers and hundreds of blue and gold balloons. . . Lucille Johnston looked lovely in white crepe as she stood talking to Ed Cross in the lobby . . . They were joined by Ruth Barrett and Joe Harkins, Beta and Lawyer . . . Ruth was stunning in a peach moire made with an off-shoulder neckline ... Out one the dance floor we noticed Margaret Sauer and Bud DeWitt executing some very fancy steps that looked very interesting . . . Eleanor Peschke in silver lame and Bob Andrew had a monopoly on the dance floor in the library and refused to give it up. . . Lucy Almand and Fred Thompson are an interesting couple to watch . . . Lucy . . . a little under five feet . . . looked very nice in white with a big ruff around her neck .. . In The Dining Room.. . Down in the dining room we saw Lois Keddy . . . looking stunning in green crepe with lovely gold clips in her hair . . . eating supper with Stanley Kilgore . . Beth Turnbull and George Wheeler were at the next table and seemed to be enjoying themselves immensely. Harvey Walker and Mary Jane Downer couldn't resist the sound of sleigh bells so they went out cutter riding before the dance . . . Despite red cheeks and frozen toes they finally arrived down on the dance floor in time for the last 'few dances .. . Beatrice Schink and Don Schneider seemed to agree with them . . . It was a grand night for cutter riding and also for a dance.. As we dashed through the cold from Jordan to Mosher we noticed many other people doing the same thing . . . It is the custom at the dormitories to run in on both dances some time during the evening . . . In the lobby at Mosher Kay Carpenter . . . last year's May Queen . . . stood talking to Herb Millikin . . . Kay is assistant director of Mosher this year . . . During the intermission we noticed Virginia Carr. . . lovely in navy blue satin . . . strolling into the radio room with Johnny Mumford . . . There they joined Janet Groft and Bert Steffy. Sipping Coffee Between Dances .. . Around one of the supper tables we saw Mary Jane Mueller in wine velvet with Stan Birlison and Ada Crawford was with Jim Meuller . . . Mary Jane's brother at the same table . . . Nearby sat Caroline Woodford and Newman Frost sipping their coffee . . As strains of the music floated down Jane Rossman and Vern LaSalle went up to dance . .. . Jane wore a very unusual white damask satin formal that night . . . As we regretfully left the dance floor we noticed Mary Ellen Heitsch and Evans Morton success- fully carrying out some very difficult steps . . . Mary's red crepe dress just matched the decorative scheme of the whole party . . . Saturday Mr. and Mrs. Fred Densmore entertained a group of Phi Gams and their dates at the home of Mr. Densmore's parents, Prof. and Mrs. G. E. Densmore on Devonshire Rd. Among those present were Norm Pioch and Bob Clafflin . . . Betty Cooper and Don Stewart . . . Betty Walsh and Tom Breen . . . Giny Spray and Al Plummer . . . and Dorothy Roth and Rip Bowman This very swank black satin crea- tion, designed by Schiaparelli and executed by Rene Pontchartrain, is notable for the length of the bodice and the puffy, chic sleeves. Wool Is Practical For Campus Wear In Winter Weather It is a puzzle these days to dress warmly enough to prevent the chills from running up and down your spine on the way to your early classes. The best solution to the problem is wool dresses and the old favorite sweater and skirt. Fashion leaders have striven very hard this year to make the woolen dresses smart, as well as practical. One very casual dress is tailored in wool jersey, with big buttons down the front of the blouse. Buttoned flap pockets and a wide leather belt complete the tailored appearance. Another very lovely wool tweed is made on simple lines, with an un- usual skirt that buttons diagonally from the center over the left hip. The top is plainly tailored, with small white lapels as the only relief. Its long sleeves button snugly around your wrist. Knit suits will always be popular for classroom wear because of their warmth and practicality. One very stunning dress looks like a green tweed, but is really a knit that boasts a handkerchief-scarf collar and a green leather belt. A three tone plaid weave forms the skirt of anoth- er very unusual knit. The traditional sweater and skirt is still a favorite. Soft cashmere and angora knits blend beautifully with the tailored wool skirts that are al- ways popular. One nice combination is in chocolate brown. The classic crew neck sweater reaches new heights in a drop stitch cashmere that comes in beautifully soft shades. For extra warmth, of course, you may wear your wool tailored jackets under sport coats. The three piece suit is always in style. It is admitted; that you must be warm to be com- fortable these days, but you certainly do not need to look bundled up. The' wools are tailored, warm and decid- edly smart. Class Projects To Be Topic Of Meeting Today Wyvern To Begin Series Of Freshman Luncheons Introducing Activities Class projects will be the topic of the luncheon meeting for freshmen women to be held at noon today in the northeast alcove of the League Grillroom under the sponsorship of Wyvern, junior honorary society. This is the first of a series of six luncheon meetings to be held every Tuesday and Thursday during the next three weeks for the purpose of introducing the fields of activities open to women of the campus to freshmen women, according to Elsie A. Pierce, president of Wyvern. During the first meeting today, the Freshman project, Sophomore Cab- aret and Junior Girls' Play will be discussed. Marianna Chochley, Edith Zerbe and Betty Anne Beebe are in charge of this meeting. They will explain the duties connected with committee jobs and the work re- quired to make the projects success- ful. The second meetnig, which will be held on Thursday, will include a dis- cussion of the merit system. Mary Potter and Billie Faulkner will lead this discussion. The third meeting, which will be on the publications, will be under the direction of Char- lotte Rueger, Charlotte Hamilton, Jewel Wuerfel and Miss Pierce. Discussions of the social and house reception committees, Play Produc- tion, theatre arts committee, Chil- dren's Theatre and The Assembly will be givenhduring the next three meetings. Those in charge of these1 discussions are Betty King, Jane O'Ferrall, Grace Snyder, Lois King, Mary Lambie, Mary Andrew and Gretchen Lehmann. The last meet- ing will be held for non-affiliated women in particular, explaining ac- tivities which are especially offered to them. The purpose of these meetings is to acquaint freshmen women with the different activities, to enable them to chose more easily which ones they are especially interested in en- tering. Freshmen are urged to at- tend as many of the discussion groups as they are interested in, according to Miss Pierce. The meetings will be informal, so that any questions con- cerning the activities may be asked. Omega Upsilon Sorority Installs Local Chapter The Lamda chapter of Omega Up- silon, national, professional, dramatic sorority was installed here Sunday. The ceremony took place at 2:30 p.m. in the Alumnae room of the League. The following girls were initiated: Lois Zimmerman, Grad, Betty Scher- ling, '36, Katherine Kirwan, '37, Jan- et Kappler, '36, Dorothy Calloway, '38, Betty Ann Barthel, '37 and Eliza- beth Seibert, Grad. Officers elected were: Miss Kirwan, president, Miss Scherling, vice-presi- dent, Miss Calloway, secretary and Miss Kappler, treasurer. Prof. Waldo -Abbot is the adviser. The sorority in- tends to go into radio work. offered an excellent background of drapery and gave therdancers some- thing to do with their hands. In Greek Dorian states, the shawl dancers were a part of ceremonial dances for the gods. A vase from this country of the fourth century shows five dancers, their shawls showing the excellent Greek free drapery, understood but not empha- sized. Romans also used this sub-j ject, but the dancers lost their vi-I tality as portrayed in Roman art for,' true to the style of these artists, they became staid and solid, lacking the lively action of Greek figures. A bactrian silver vase of the fifth century is decorated with shawl dancers also. A Grecian influence is displayed in the shape of the vase and the transparency of the shawl. But the vase is very Eastern in the lack of importance given to the fig- ure and its face, with only a little expression. A coptic dancing maid is very stiff and the lines are very angular. An- other example is in an illustration of a Christian manuscript which was written in the sixthncentury but il- lustrated in the ninth century in Italy. And still another dancer with a shawl is in an ivory carving from twelfth century Sicily. A diversion from the usual woman KAPPA TAU ALPHA MEETING Kappa Tau Alpha, national hon- orary journalism society, will hold its next meeting at 7:45 p.m. Thurs- day at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Donal Hamilton Haines at 1229 Tra- ver Rd., it was announced yesterday. Members who need transportation were asked to meet at the offices of the department of journalism in Ha- ven Hall at 7:30 p.m. India in the eighteenth century. And so the shawl dancer may be traced back in ancient times as a part of religious ceremonies and especially in ceremonies given for the God Bacchus. Women To Hear Speech By Fingerprint Expert "Identification Through Finger- prints" will be the subject of N. B. Bliss, fingerprint expert of the Fed- eral Detention Farm at Milan, in his talk to be given at 6:30 p.m. Wednes- day at the monthly dinner and busi- ness meeting of the Business and Professional Women's Club. The program, which will begin at 8 p.m., is in charge of the Legislative committee, of which Mrs. Maria Peel is chairman. The club extends an invitation to anyone who is interested in the subject of the lecture to at- tend. BRIDGE GROUP TO MEET The Bridge group of the Michigan Dames will hold a meeting at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the League. Mrs. Donald Church is in charge, and all reserva- tions must be made with her. All those who have signed will be ex- pected to play, unless they notify Mrs. Church.

Executive council men in charge of the dance emphasizedthe fact hat there would be no tables in the ball - room for the dance and that no res- ervations could be taken for tables. They said, however, that only a limit- ed number of tickets would be placed on sale, following a policy which was inaugurated when an outside band was brought in a few weeks ago. The price of the dance Friday night is the same as for any of the weekly dances.
