the Vogue magazine. The contest
consists of four parts; first, a series
of four quizzes to be answered by all

ten only by those entrants who re--
ceive passing marks on the four
quizzes. Each quiz will consist of at

erature, theatre, etc.

sary to be a subscriber to Vogue to

New Hit In Stockings
Guarantees No Runs
Silk stockings have given many col-
lege women a run for their money.
One very recent proposal for elim-
ination of this menace constitutes.
substituting knee length woolen
stockings with turned over tops. With
these stockings, short short skirts
above the knees are to be worn.
Though this style has not breezed
across the Michigan campus and
swept the ultra-smart off their feet,
its popularity can still be anticipat-
ed.
One of the short-comings of this
completely new and revolutionary
idea is the requirement of figure
perfection.
8 p.m. to midnight Saturday at their dance are going to be Dr.
houses. Joe Lerner, and Dr. and Mrs
Chi Phi has engaged Bill Gail's or- Holman. Phi Sigma Kappa

Must Register
ForEligibility
Women who are being rushed dur-
ing informal rushing must register at
the Undergraduate office of the
League to be eligible for pledging.
This rule is an innovation in the
rushing rules being used by Panhel-
lenic Association this year. Formerly
registration was compulsory .only
during the formal rushing period.
Those women who registered for
formal rushing and did not pledge
need not re-register but will be eli-
gible for further rushing by leaving
their names at the Undergraduate
office.
Barbara Bassett, '40, president of
Panhellenic Association, announced
that she would have office hours
from 3:30 p m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday
at which time she would be in the
Undergraduate Office to consult with
anyone wishing to register or to leave
their names as having registered dur-
ing the formal rushing period.
League Needs
Poster Artists
Women Asked To Try Out
For Committee Work
Women with the ability to make
posters were asked to try out for the
League Publicity committee yester-
day by Suzanne Potter, '40, chair-
man.
Six posters are needed immediately
and anyone who wishes to work on
them should notify her immediately
at 2-2419 or the League, Miss Potter
declai'ed. The applicant then will
receive instructions as to what she
should do.
At the same time Miss Potter
called a meeting of the League publi-
city committee for 4:30 p.m. Tues-
day in the League. Those who have
not petitioned may sign up at the
meeting, she said, while all who have
petitioned must attend or receive
excuses.

GOO1DYEAR:
New Pledges Announced
'Dates' Officer Inaugurated
"You see," he continued more
calmly, "if a man on this campus
wants a date with an attractive girl,'
he must either go steady with her or
call her weeks in advance. If a law-
yer were to do that, he wouldn't be
a lawyer," he concluded logically
enough. And so evolved the idea of
the "dates" officer.
"How did we choose him? That's
easy. We picked the best-looking
boy in the house, the one who was
never at a loss for dates himself,
and commissioned him to keep up
the good work, only on a larger scale.
Dislike Typical Coeds
As for the girls themselves, the
only prerequisites are that they must
be lots of fun and fairly attractive.
Tea will be served following the
Ann Arbor Independent's first busi-
ness meeting of the year, to be held
at 3 p.m. Sunday, in the Ethel Foun-
tain Hussey Room of the League.
Officers of the group will explain
their duties to the new members, as
well as the functions of Assembly
and the League in relation to the or-.
'ganization. The Ann Arbor Indepen-
dents are one of three members of
Assembly along with the Dormitories
and League Houses. Officers for this
year are: Frances Herdrich, '40,
president; Betty Hall, '41, first vice-
president; Mary Jean O'Donnell, '41,
social chairman; Daisy Bihary, '40,
secretary; Adelaide Carter, '42, mem-
bership chairman.1
Delta Upsilon announced yesterday
the following additional pledges: Jo-
seph Anton, Kenward Atkin, Walter
Kaler, Robert Kieber and Marvin
