All-Campus Dance Promises To ConsoleFiedJHpes Breakfast, Bo( Reservations G For Indepent Those pathetic individuals who lined up hours early in the Union 1 yesterday only to see the 800 J-Hop tickets signed away in 20 minutes need not give themselves over wholly to despair: tickets and table reserva- tions for the All-Campus Hop to- morrow in the Union ballroom may still be obtained.

Over Here port Coats Have Pocket Emphasis And Boyish Lines / I Long before Paris fashions turned toward the practical, so that French women could still be in full style while doing war work, the American college girl made use of this secret to smartness. And so it remains for the sport coats of this bright mid- season. A suggestion comes from a leading Paris designer to start the pocket trend. There'll be lots of them, for instance, in the polo coats Ann Arbor shops are now receiving, and the spring coats they'll have in a few weeks. One new style features of a tie belt attached to the fitted waist, "cash and carry" pockets over the hips, and two smaller pockets on each side of the collar. Probably the most populiar polo coat news is the "girl-boy" style. These trim coats are fashioned ex- actly like men's, with patch pockets and notched collar, rows of stitching in the hem and a slit back. Buttons, however, will remain on the left side.

By VICKI, MONTHS IN REVIEW: September-Ex-high scnhool stu- dents were seen wandering over the campus equipped with maps and class schedules. Were identified by wild' look in their eyes. October-=Old Grads returned to former haunts and sports editor ran wild. Air was notably cool and crisp except home-game Saturdays when the temperature swung from 91 in the shade to 5 above zero and back again. November-Upper-classmen worked up their usual quota of ire over a one-day holiday Thanksgiving, while freshman started their homeward trek jubilantly. December-First two weeks were devoted to shirking classes in prepar- ation for "catching up" over vaca- tion. Whiskey Special reservations were made early and Detroit people again felt cheated. Last two-weeks- we leave that to you. January--First week was spent be- wailing the fact that we hadn't cracked a book since November, and that there are less than three weeks before exams. Notable increase in library attendance was observed. Wo- men began drowning their sorrows in day-dreams of J-Hop. Men also drowned their sorrows.
