Photography,
Stage, Screen
Call Alumnae
Margaret White, Martha Scott,
Ruth Hussey Are Acclaimed
For Their Outstanding Work
Fame comes to many former Mich-
igan students. Among these can be
included Margaret Bourke - White,
Martha Scott, and Ruth Hussey.'
Considered an outstanding photog-
rapher among both men and women
in that vocation is Margaret Bourke-
White who attended the University
and was enrolled in the College of
Literature, Science and the Arts from
1922 to 1924. Miss White has traveled
over the world getting photographs
of famous people and places for many
magazines, primarily Life.
A recent alumna is Martha Scott
who graduated with an A.B. degree
in 1932. Miss Scott was successful
on the New York stage and made her
debut on the screen in "Our Town".
Her acting ability has been highly
praised by critics who proclaim that
she promises to be one of the out-
standing ,moving-picture actresses.
Another newcomer to the screen
is Ruth Hussey, who attended the
Michigan Graduate School in 1933-
34. Despite the fact that Miss Hussey
has made but a few pictures, critics
have rated her work very highly. One
of her roles was as a newspaper
photographer in "The Philadelphia
Story."
Summer Directory
To Be Published
Published the first week after reg-
istration, the Summer Directory this
year will contain the usual features
of the student directory, plus the
home addresses of the students reg-
istered for the summer session, ac-
cording to Martha Graham, '41, man-
aging editor.

Jobs For Women
In Summer School
Are Many,;Varied
Women students attending summer
school have a much wider ,and more
varied field of jobs from which to
choose than do men.
According to Mrs. Elizabeth A.
Smith, Assistant in Charge of Student
Employment, positions are fewer dur-
ing the summer session than through
spring and autumn months. However,
there are opportunities to earn room
and board by waiting tables and doing
kitchen work. Miscellaneous jobs such
as gardening, and caring for lawns,
may also be obtained.
Women students, on the other hand,
may earn room and board by working
in private homes or in the dormitories.
There are also a few League positions
open which involve cafeteria and desk
work. Interested women students may
obtain, in addition, clerical or secre-
tarial work in many University! of-
fices. The Bureau of Appointments
and Occupational Information in
Mason Hall will guide students seek-
ing vocational as well as educational
guidance and will help in placing
students in business institutions

Alcohol, Kerosene,
Naphtha Soap Scrub
Prevent Poison Ivy
Summer-and the itch to tramp
through the great open fields is too
often followed by summer,-and the
itch. Poison ivy is an innocent look-
ing piece of twining foliage to the
inexperenced,-with three shining
green leaves and a reddish tinge to-
wards early fall. But even those who
think they know the enemyare often
fooled!
There are several different types of
the irritating plant, and some don't
even both to climb or twine, but grow
like small oak trees in the grass.
Three leaves are stir the danger sig-
nal, however, and the most cautious
stay away even at the risk of losing
a wild rose plant.
But what is there to do once the
mistake has been made? Sprub with
naphtha soap within three lours, or
rinse with alcohol or kerosene. There
are several ferrous solutions which
will cut the oil of the ivy before it
corks. After the irritati'n bogins,
resist scratching, and experiment
with any of the legion cures yotr
friends will surely recommend.

By BARBARA DeFRIES
If you think a summer in Ann,
-rbor means one long, drawn-out
sun-bath interspersed with a bit of
studying now and then, you're mis-
taken, because the turmoil of social
activities that whirls about the
League, really whirls.
Under the direction of Miss Ethel
McCormick, social adviser, the
League will present a social program
packed full of unique entertainment
and special events in dancing, bridge
and social hours.
Heading the list is a series of square
dancing classes to be held weekly
throughout the Summer Session.
BenjaminuB. Lovett, of the Edison
Institute, accompanied by seven-
piece square dance orchestra, will
supervise the instruction for the
fourth consecutive year. Lessons
will be presented free of charge to
all students through the courtesy of
Henry Ford, of Dearborn.
To Hold Dance Classes
Miss McCormick and Barbara Mc-
Intyre, instructors in winter dancing
classes, will conduct beginning and
intermediate dancing classes which
will also be held weekly. The price
of $1.50 covers the entire six lessonsj
for each group.
Those who play bridge or who
crave to learn will find their happy
answer in Conway Magee, research
assistant in physiology, who will be
in charge of a weekly duplicate
bridge hour and who will also in-
struct interested individuals in the
"ins and outs" of good bridge play-
ing. The cost of the complete series
of six bridge lessons is $1.50.
Informal free tea dances will be
held regularly during the session
from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.in. Wed-
nesdays, under the baton of J.
Clark McClellan and his orchestra.
Students may attend these dances
with or without partners as hostesses
will be present to enable them to
become acquainted with others.
Week-End Dances
Weekends will be filled with danc-
ing as both Friday and Saturday
nights will find some novelty ce
being held in the ballroom. Admis-
sion for these dances will be 35 cents
a person. Students may attend ei-
ther in couples or singly and host-

esses will also be present on these
occasions.
Last year, lively crowds of more
than 400, ranging from freshmen to
graduates, danced enthusiastically at;
"Kampus Kwiz Kapers," complete'
with a hilarious contest, and "Yankee
Night," in honor of Northerners,
while the "Watermelon Cut" made
it up tc the Southerners. A "Sadie
Hawkins" dance depicting events
borrowed from the famous comic
strip, "Li'l Abner," and the "Globe
Trot," in honor of the many foreign;
students, were also included on the
social program.

Judiciary chairman takes care of
all sign out sheets for league houses,
dormitories and sororities. At the
beginning of the summer, she talks
with Dean Bacher, Dean of Women
during the Summer Session, in order
to decide upon the policy. She also
meets with the house representatives
at which time she enumerates the
rules concerning hours, automobiles,
and general rules similar to those
of the regular school year.
In case of violation of any rule,
the judiciary chairman alone tries
the case.
It is the duty of the social chair-
man to take charge of the planning
of the social calendar. She must or-
ganize the prepara ton for each dance
,nd muIist ovrre every part of the
