THE MICHIGAN DAILY
Will Interview
For Positions
Panhellenic Dinner Heads'
Selection To Be Made
Interviewing for committee chair-
manships of Panhellenic Banquet will
be held for Panhellenic delegates
from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. today and to-
morrow in the Undergraduate Office
of the League.
Executive Council of Panhellenic
will conduct the interviews under the
new system being used this year to
select the chairmen. Formerly the
positions have been selected without
interviews.
All Panhellenic delegates are urged
to be interviewed, announced Barbara
Bassett, '40, president of Panhellenic
Association. The same method will
be used for selecting the chairmen
of Panhellenic Ball later in the year,
she said,
The Banquet, which is an annual
event, will be held Monday, Nov. 13,
in the League ballroom for all affil-
iated women.
Over Here
By VICKI
I
They may swallow goldfish at Har-
vard, but at Michigan they knit! Not
that we dare generalize on the mat-
ter-it's strictly the women who knit.
Yep, the pendulum swings back.
Long skirts and knitting needles inr
1919, short skirts and wine glasses in
'29, short skirts and knitting needles
in '39. Quite a combination, when
you consider this machine-mad age
Iwe quote).
But there's plenty of method in
':uch madness. The woman who sits
and knits at meeting may look quaint-
iy domestic, but she's really very
smart. Take the finished product,
'rinstance. Not only is the hand-
knitted sweater good-looking, but it'a
much less expensive.
And then there's the angle on sav-
ing time (or finding a better way
to waste it.) There's a certain fasci-
nation about watching a piece of
< knitting grow and the ball of yarn
diminish which can keep your mind
off history for hours, and at the
Name time provide, a soothing balm
for the conscience.
Here's a tip to the confirmed anti-
knitting female. it's easy and it's fun,
and there's a woman here on campus
whose business it is to correct all
your mistakes. Don't let your best
friend tell you that you'd best start
on something ; simple--like scarfs.
They're terribly dull-you'll never
get beyond the first ten rows if you
follow her advice.
There it is-the answer to all your
conscience problems. The perfect
solution of what to do while indulg-
ing in a bit of a bull session, useful
form of relaxation when the cares of
the academic world become too
heavy, and something to take your
mind off your ears while you're under
the drier.

Started At Ohio State
Gill started his orchestra work
while he was just a freshman- at. Ohio
State University, where he was a
member of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity,
by playing for the school dances. He
has been playing professionally ever
since his graduation from that col-
lege.
One of the first orchestra leaders
to recognize the possibilities of play-'
ing for radio entertainment, Gill
established for himself and his band
an early reputation. Because of his
popularity over the air, he has since
been in demand for many college
dances and fraternity parties around
the country, and especially in the
middle west where he got his start.
Has Played In Detroit
He has played engagements in
many large cities, and has long been
known to Detroiters because of his
connection with the Hotel Webster
in that city.
Tickets for the dance are one dol-
lar per couple, Miss O'Roke said, and
may be obtained from members of
the ballroom committee of the
League. Gill is replacing Earl Stev-
ens and his band for this weekend,I
while Stevens is playing out of town.

THE VODER, nicknamed Pedro, is an amazing elec-
trical device which actually talks-the first machine
in the world to do that!
By pressing keys, singly or in combination, a skilled
operator can make Pedro talk in almost human fash-
ion-with varying inflections and in either a man's or
a woman's voice.
The Voder is an outgrowth of fundamental research
in speech sounds, articulation and voice reproduction
being carried on at Bell Telephone Laboratories. Such
studies have led-and will lead-to constantly im-
