THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE FIVI Speech Honors Convocation Wil Be Wednesday At Union Shirley Smith Will Address 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. -J eat r er ali-- (Editor's Note: In spite of the tra- ditional Daily and Gargoyle feud, we've asked the fashion editor of Garg to speak her mind on the future.) 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 r Shirley Smith To Speak I which are racing around in their Shirley W.

They ;hem had to argue that th y were the only answer to rainy or btterly cold days. This past winter a few pioneers 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. Newman Club, SprngFormal To Be Friday Trellises, a white picket fence and i myriad of blossoms will carry out the theme of the Newman Club Spring Formal, to be held from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday in the Union Ballroom.

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.
