First Banquet
Program Will Be Dedicated
To Trueblood, Who Founded
First Speech Department Here
Speech students and faculty will at-
tend the Speech Honors Convocation
Banquet from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Wednesday in the Union Ballroom,
according to Prof. Henry Moser of the
speech department.
This year makes the first Speech
banquet of this kind to be held at
Michigan, Professor Moser said, and
the department plans to make it an
annual affair. It was inaugurated be-
cause of the success with which a
similar event was met during the
Summer Session.
The Speech Honors Convocation
proposes to recognize speech students
for the parts they have taken in in-
tramural and in intercollegiate speech
activities. Souvenir programs will be
printed with the names 'of honor stu-
dents and pledges of all forensic so-
cieties.

bInrod ucing Aggie C0w:
The curse of "Four Out of Five"
which has dogged the Michigan
woman's footstepsreven since some
bright football hero let it drop, has7
begun to take a noticeable effect in
the clothes which we are gradually
substituting for those poor old "low
heels and baggy sweaters." The
metamorphosis has been slow, but'
we are receiving encouragement as
campus styles all over the United
States are changing.
If enterprising merchants can
sell fur coats in August, shorts
and chambrays in January, and
velvets are "out" in December,
there should be no objection to
rushing the season with a little
speculation on probable style
trends for colleges in general and
Michigan in particular. Designers
and buyers are way ahead of con-
sumers in determining styles for
::ix months from now, and ideas

adopted baby bonnets which cover
the ears and tie under the chin as a
more flattering alternate, and I feel
sure that their example is going to
be followed next fall. The only simi-
larity they bear to those little things
you wore in your cradle days is in
style, because the colors are bright
and peasanty. All sorts of individua
touches can be added such as yarr
and fur pompoms, or detachablf
bows that sit right up on top.
No bandanna in the world could
eflace a sturdy Sou'wester when
one of Ann Arbor's six-months'
rainy seaons set in, and it should-
n't take the campus any longer to
accept this answer to a maiden's
prayer than it did to. adopt the
rubber boot craze. As soon as khe
fad catches on, it should be easy
to get the hats in any color de-
sired, to match or contrast with
your raincoat or boots.
Although this is just one woman's
idea, I wouldn't be surprised to see
the imaginative designers who have
used yarn, sailcloth, fur, both white
and dyed, and even leather boxing-
gloves, in their creations of mittens,
seize on to the faithful old furnace
glove as a possibility for next year.
Of course, the bulkiness would be
cut down, but the room, the warmth
and the original style would fit very
well into the college picture where
novelty is the spice of life.

Stripe-and-cotton season is here
again - for there is nothing quite
so traditional of the coming of spring
as the return of that inimitable com-
bination of multi-colored stripes on
cotton.
Accessories lend themselves to it
smoothly. For the lively points of a
solid colored dress, add a big baggy
.triped purse and a snug fitting tur-
ban of the same material. Stripes are
the thing for every smart bag from
those for evening through those for
town to swimming or picnic bags.
The dear old snap brim is about to
be converted into cotton stripe now
that the weather's turned. And straws
will start being piped in-- you
guessed it - striped materials.
Seersucker dresses are still at their
best with a narrow stripe running
through them, and seersucker suits
I are destined for a great run this sea-
son. Broomstick skirts are invading
every field, and one of them has
taken to stripes running horizontally.

Judging by the great number of
new saddle shoes walking around
campus since spring vacation, it
is evident that the student popula-
tion has found a year's vacation
sufficient to send them back to the
old faithfuls. It doesn't take any
mystic insight to predict their al-
most universal return, but rumor
has it that they are going to be
kept clean from now on if they
hope to remain the center of at-
traction.
