To Hold Sprin Dance, May 20 Bill Gail's Band To Play For Graduate Formal The first annual Graduate Spring Formal will be held Saturday, May 20 from 9 to 12 p.m. in the Assembly Hall of the Rackham Building. The lance climaxes the year's social pro- gram for graduate students which has been under the direction of the Graduate Student Council. Robert Cleveland, Grad., chairman of the dance committee has an- nounced that there will be no cor- sages worn at the dance. .The Coun- cil plans to present each guest with flowers at the beginning of the dance as favors. Bill Gail's orchestra will play for the affair. The ticket sale for the dance is to be limited to 125 couples as an- nounced by Eleanor Bale, Grad., tic- ket chairman. These are now on sale and may be purchased at the infor- mation desk at the Rackham Build- ing. All graduate students are in- vited to attend, including those who are not affiliated with the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies, but who have graduate stand- ing in their individual departments. Dnly one member of each couple at- tending the dance need have this standing. Her Viewpoint by VICKI With Michigras a thing of the past! and Daily and Union appointments a matter of history, the campus turns it's attention to things of a lighter nature-Lantern Night, Interfrater- nity Sing-all those things that make alumnae sigh and remember the good old days. After all, it's only a matter of a few days now (a month, we'll say) before the o1' alma mater graduates another class and some thousands of seniors get a sheepskin which they hope is a passport to health, happiness and success. Life A Picnic? Not that they expect the fruits of said sheepskin to fall into their laps. If there's anything which irks me, it's to hear some part of an older generation say to an undergraduate, "Don't expect too much-life is no picnic!" The concept of life as a pic- nic got knocked out of our heads about the same time that the bottom got knocked out of Wall Street. But whether they graduate into a soft job in Dad's office, a cheap job in the Five and Ten, a good job as a teacher, or just a hard job-pounding! the pavement, they're graduating. Four years of opportunity fly by pret- ty quickly, and then comes the dawn! Four Years An Asset What they've gotten out of those four years depends on the individual. The most important thing, it seems to me, is not whether they've learned to appreciate the 'arts,' can quote Shakespeare, or recognize Bach in- stantly, but whether they're happy with what they have gotten. It's fool- ish to try to fit every man into the student's hole-a higher purpose, in my opinion, is that his four years have added to the sum total of his happiness.

The central committee has added several novel innovations to make f ' ' this year's dance "the affair of the , ; :",~ season," according to Betty Spang- ler, '39, chairman of the publicity committee. The tentative theme for the decorations is a "Symphony in Blue." Huge musical notes will be the symbols against silver back-drops and draped ceilings. Four semi-cir- cular bars will be placed along the ;ide walls, with furnished booths be:- tween them. Fraternities and organizations will > have reserved sections where they can <4 sit and talk during dances and in-4/ termissions, similar to the type used at J-Hop. - Petitioning Will Continue >/ Petitioning for the positions on the executive council of the Theatre Arts committee of the League will con- tinue today and tomorrow.

The cosmetic manufacturers have recognized this need and have put a large variety of products on the market that are not- able for their cool freshness and their subtile lingering qualities. The distinction between toilet wa- ters and colognes ought to be made as theysare often confused. A toilet water is a fragrant liquid while a cologne is all of this plus alcohol which gives it a quick drying and therefore cooling property. This lat- ter is more desirable during the hot months as it tones the skin and gives one a pepped-up sensation. Floral scents are the most popu- lar for summer and come in both in- dividual and mixed odors. Large bot- tles of spring or summer garden flow- er mixtures are on display in sets so that they may be chosen each day ac- cording to your mood. With many of these sets atomizers are included for a more economical and subitle result from their application. All of the better colognes and toilet waters have been compounded so they may be lib- erally applied with little fear of an overwhelming result in spreading great clouds odf perfumed air about you. When bath talc is included in the pre-date ritual the scent of the powder must be the same as that of your cologne. Though all hot weath- er perfumes are light and usually floral in odor it seems to be a good plan to avoid a conflict of smells where ever possible. Thus, gar- denia for both talcum and cologne with perfume if you wish might be a good combination. Lilac, sweet pea, lilly of the valley and any number of combinations of these and other flow- er scents may be purchased in all types of products.
