The English visitors are in this
vountry as liason officers between
the American and the British Fed-
crations. The present child relief
work consists of supplemental aid to
individual children through an "adop-
tion" plan. The donor contributes 301
dollars toward the care of a specific
child.
This care includes proper food and
housing in specially constructed nur-
sery homes maintained in the coun-
try. In order to make the donations
a more personal affair, the donor
receives a picture and a brief de-
scription of the child who is being
helped by his money.
Sir Robert Mayer was instrumental
in financing and establishing sym-
phony concerts forchildren in Eng-
land. Both he and Lady Mayer had
been prominent in musical affairs
before the war. Lady Mayer sang

i
s
tails, as the case may l
(since none of us would be mistaken for Fred Astaire)
and a slight respite would be welcome. They were
right: it was. Some of the couples who both danced
and "spectated" with vim and vigor were Helen Bar-
nett and Bill Conrad, Mary Lou Ewing and Norm Call,
Aggie Crow and Bob Collins, Mary Sellon and Roy
Buehler, and Ruth Willits and John Lehner.
Those who wern't wearing themselves out with
the afore-mentioned carnival spirit Friday night,
however, were exhausting themselves equally by the
struggle to look properly at ease in either formal or
be. The Newman Club presented its Spring Formal
at the Union that evening. Spring was its theme and Bill Sawyer was sur-
rounded by a bower of flowers, which was, we must admit, most appropriate,
but they still weren't too becoming to Bill. Newmanites and non-Newman-
ites mingled beautifully and, to coin a cliche,
all went home tired but happy. (Wow!) Joanne
Bouchard was there with John McNaughton,
and other couples were Mary Jane Kenney with
Wade Flaherty, McDermott with James Valli-;4:
gan, Dorothy Duroux with Paul Donnelley, and
Albin Shinderlee with Lois Drummond.
The Phi Psis did their bit toward making
Ann Arbor history with their formal on thei
same night. (On looking that sentence over
we decided it sounded a bit sensational, and
since the thing was, after all, just a formal, maybe we'd better alter our
statement). To get to the point, the boys did some shuffling around with
their dates. Doing the shuffling were Joan Lpgan and David Parnell, Joan
Clement and Howard Eddy, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Elmer, and Rae Gustafson,
and Johnny Rookus.
The A.T.O.'s Didn't Miss Either!...
We almost forgot-the A.T.O.'s also had a gang over Friday night to
sliver up the floor a bit-to the accompaniment, of course, of a few instru-
ments in a group. Ginny Kelholtz and Pat Hoeper, Louise Keatley (You
know, kids, "Keatle)" just in case you don't recognize that formal name)
and Bill Gram, Jeannette Hoffman and Bill Todd, and Lucille Woodward
and Paul Smith were there.
Everything that happened this weekend seems to have happened on
Friday night. That brings us to a rather embarrassing question which' we
must ask of you girls. What did you all do on Saturday
night? And which brings an even more pertinent subject
% ~' to old High Time's mind. What are girls supposed to do
if someone calls 'em at about eight o'clock on a weekend
night and invites them to go out and slurp a few-uh-
y glasses of milk. Shall they keep their glamor and scorn-
fully tell the cad that they've had a date for this night
about five weeks in advance, or shall they say, "Da heck
wit' glamor-sure, chum whip right over." It's really one
of the biggest social problems of the age. So think it over,
gang, and if you get an answer send it to us air mail.
By the way, Ted McOmber said he wanted to see his name in this
~~-- ---< column. So here it is. Ted McOm-
I ber.
Everyone on campus has gotten into the carnival spirit of things and
all because of last weekend's Frosh Project and next weekend's favorite
:social event, The Michilodeon. At least, that's what its publicity chairman
tells us. If that phrase "carnival spirit" reminds you, as it does us, of
hordes of people munching popcorn and desperately trying to get their
money's worth of gayety, be assured that this is different!
Frosh ICommitteemen Sympathetic.. .
As for last week's soiree--or clambake--if you prefer to call it that, you
probably know by this time that the Frosh Project theme really was a nifty
idea. They worked on the assumption that sooner or later the assorted

Sophomores
May Petition
For Cabaret
Eligible Women Of Class Of '44
Must File Central Committee
Applications Beginning Today
Petitioning for the central com-
mittee positions for the 1941 Sopho-
more Cabaret will begin today and
continue until noon Saturday, Jane
Baits, '42, chairman of the Judiciary
Committee has announced. All eligi-
ble women of the class of '44 are
urged to petition, Miss Baits said.
Suggestions for the central theme
and organization of the cabaret as
well as ideas for individual chair-
manships should be included on the
petitions which are to be put in the
petition box in the League Under-
graduate Office, Miss Baits continued.
Chairmen to be appointed from
those petitioning include: general
chairman, booths and exhibits, cos-
tumes, dance, decorations, finance,
hostesses, music, publicity, tickets and
recorder. Their duties will be mainly
to serve in an executive capacity over
the work of the various committees.
The cabaret, which will be held
sometime next December, will be the
4th annual affair of its kind and will
be the successor to "Sunshine, Inc.,"
the project of the class of '43. About
150 women worked on the project
at which Ann Arbor merchants dis-
played Christmas gifts in booths on
the second floor of the League.
Decorations "for "Sunshine, Inc."
centered around southern scenes of
Florida and Cuba, while a vaudeville
show taking off League activities was
also given.
Interviewing for those who have pe-
titioned will be held from 3 p.m. to
5 p.m. Tuesday, May 3, through Fri-
day, May 6. Eligibility cards should
be brought to the interview, Miss
Baits said, and any additional, ideas
not given in the petition may be pre-
sented at that time.

Lovers' Quarrels Help Business
For Fraternity Pin Pawnbroker
By RHODA LESHINE
In the spring a young man's fancy
turns to love, 'tis said, and a young
woman takes her share of romance
on a college campus with a practical
grain of reality in the addition of a
fraternity pin assuring her "future."
And where do all these give and
take pins that have warmed many a
vest and adorned more than one
Brook's sweater, end up? Ed NWallace
of the New York World Telegram
staff did a little research project to
answer this much debated question
and found that Jack Gorta, owner
of the United Pledge Society, 860
Eighth Ave., N.Y.C., was the best
source of information from his world
headquarters for pawned fraternity:
pins.
Thrives On Campus Romance
This fraternity pin pawnbroker
has thrived for the past 30 years on
these fragments of campus romance
dreams. Journalist Wallace points
out that Mr. Gorta has become con-
vinced that not one out of 10 pins
foundinhock shops was put there by
the original owner.
"College widows account for some
few, but most of them come in
through people who got possession of
them through other means. Laun-
drymen with a touch of larceny in
their souls account for many-old
gold buyers bring in hundreds."
There is scarcely a Greek letter
club organized on any campus which
is not included in Mr. Gorta's col-
lection. "I get letters from all over,
the country from men and women
seeking their first fraternity or sor-I
ority pin. They have heard about me
and hope. I somehow have it here,"
he explained.
No Engraving "Removed
No engraving is ever removed from
a pin at the United Pledge Society.
Mr. Gorta keeps a directory of all
names sent in from people seekingl
lost pins to be used for future ref-1
erence.
Small things though they are,
these precious bits to their owners
are reported by Gorta to be returned
by the hundreds via his stop-over
shop. He revealed that "one man
who had lost his pin in Europe 15
years before found it in this pawn
shop."
A large portion of the fraternity
pins are purchased by young girls,
the manager said. . They want to
impress upon another boy friend
that they are getting a tremendous
rush by some college man.
It's Like Costume Jewelry
"These girls never know what they
want when they come in," he added,
"for it's just like costume jewelry to
them. One girl came in one day and
bought some fraternity pins to
adorn a charm bracelet and gave us
an idea," he said. "We made up a
few ourselves and they are beauti-
ful."
Six bucks and you can strut a Phi
Bete key without interning four
years at a college. Mr. Gorta dis-
played keys from this national honor
society which he finds are the quick-
est and easiest to sell. "And it isn't
my job to make sure the person is,
entitled to wear it," he told inquirer
Wallace.4
