Miss Mariana Chockley will give
the first talk in the freshman lecture'
series at 5 p.m. today in Lydia Men-.
delssohn Theatre in the League, Pat-
ricia Matthews, head of orientation,
announced.
Miss Chockley is now a Detroit
policewoman, and was chairman of
Judiciary Council when she attended
the University. The subject of the
talk will be "Vocational Guidance,"
and it is planned to fit in with the
general theme of the lecture series,
which is "After College, What?" The
lectures are an extension of the or-
ientation program which was started
the week before the semester opened.
Attendance Is Compulsory
All freshmen are reminded that at-
tendance at the lecture is compul-
sory, Miss Matthews said, and advis-
ers are asked to call the freshmen in
their groups and see that they are
seated in the Theatre by 4:50 p.m.
Absences will be reported and record-
ed on the cards in the merit system
files in the Undergraduate Office.
The next lecture in the group will
be given by Dean Alice Lloyd at 5
p m. Tuesday, and her topic will be
"College Conduct." Tickets which
were used for admittance to Lydia
Mendelssohn during Orientation week
will be used for all the lectures.
Miss Jotter To Give Third Talk
Miss Lois Jotter, of the botany
department, is. scheduled to give the
third talk Wednesday, Oct. 25, on her
experiences in the Colorado River
region last year. Miss Jotter accom-
panied Dr. Elzada Glover, also of the
botany department, on a scientific
expedition.
Much anxiety was caus'ed as to the
safety of the group, when no news
was heard from them for some time,
but due to the resourcefulness of the
members of the expedition, they man-
aged to shoot rapids, find enough
food, and get out of difficulties ade-
quately to return safely to the Uni-
versity.
Initiation Held Sunday
Jean Johnson, '42Ed, Harriet John-
son, '42Ed, and Clare Knight, '42,1
were initiated into Alpha Chi Omegai
Sunday, instead of into Alpha Chi
Sigma as recently stated in The
Daily.

By DEBS HARVEY
Food for the mind, relaxation for
the spirit and rest for the feet-
these are the three most important
reasons why the League library is
constantly growing in popularity as
a browsing room for women students,
faculty wives and alumnae.
The library, located on the third
floor of the League and open from
12:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. daily, has a
total of over 2,000 books, with em-
phasis placed on contempory drama
and poetry, popular biography, fic-
tion and books on current affairs.
Constantly supplementing the col-
lection are new books donated 'by

College Rooms
Are Rennovated
Cliiptz Jrapes, Enamel
Provide Theme Of Pay
Knittingless women are working
on chintz these days; not so much
to improve their sweater collections
as to make that "dingy hole" more
habitable. For as nominal a price
as one cares to name, a few drapes,
cushions, and chair covers plus a few
spare moments will make the usual
cracked plaster fade into insignifi-
cance.
A few ambitious ladies this sem-
ester managed to brighten their
chamber with a chair, drapes, and
packing-box vanity table cover
matched in brightly figured material.
Basting stitches and thumb tacks
were the essentials of the fancy-
work involved; raw edges were cov-
ered hastily, and the finished pro-
duct looks as if a sewing machine
and five seamstresses worked the
proverbially year and a day on the
outfit.
Taking the cue, the rest, of the
house proceeded to transform dilapi
dated book cases into modestly cov-
ered contain-alls,
Spanish Society To Hold
First Meeting Tonight
Sociedad Hispanica, University
Spanish society, will hold its first

nounced. The program for the com-

New Plaid Materials
Are Chic For Evening
The mysterious people who design
materials have really let themselves
go this year and some of the results
are startingly beautiful. The clan
plaids of old find foreign figures
running through their stereotyped
pattern. Satin stripes shine subtly
on one taffeta dress while gold or
silver lam.e glitters in the plaid of
another. Even satin and velvet have
gotten together in a remarkably wov-
en fabric.
The local windows are alive with
new ideas in evening dresses, so why
not discard the "black or white is
always good" fallacy and let's get
some of the color we display in our
sweaters and skirts into our formals?

The Nation's Leading Column on the Nation's Affairs

By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN

EHESE ARE DAYS of great stories of
political and economic struggle. Covering
those stories calls for minds of the biggest
calibre in alertness, resource and gift of
expression. In Pearson and Allen you
have them.
They have made of "The Washington
Merry-Go-Round" the nation's leading
column of report, interpretation anSI com-
ment upon the nation's affairs. They are

far ahead in getting, explaining and weigh-
ing the news of Washington and every
sphere it affects.
Tersely, trenchantly and courageously,
they tell you what the nation is doing and
what that means to you. The color, the
life, the portent of Washington and the
personalities which people it, come vividly
and clearly before you with every appear-
ance of "The Washington Merry-Goe
Round."
