Fashion conscious young women
will pursue cottons and rayon for
all formal occasions this summer, for
they stand for everything in style and
practicality. Cotton lace, eyelet em-
broidered pique, sharkskin and linen
are sure td! survive the test of warm
summer nights of dancing.
Pique is an especially desirable ma-
terial either in white or vivid floral
prints. One crisp white pique has a
dual personality, for its slick-fitting
torso bodice and full skirt have an air
of sophistication, while the red em-
broidery around the heart-shaped
neckline speaks of simplicity.
Voile Tops Linen
Voile in pastels or delicate prints
make stunning blouses to grace the
billowing skirts of the same voile or
contrasting linen. These blouses may
be either of a decollete type or the
long-sleeve gypsy variety, but the ef-
fect of either is charming.
Many women will favor that glazed
chintz, heretofore reserved for ex-
clusive use by designers of draperies
and upholstery. Chintz in scattered
bouquet patterns, has invaded the
fashion world and can be made into!
quaint off-the-shoulder styles or into
casual tomboy jumpers.
Red linen or red and white prints
compose clever, eye-catching dresses,
for example a polka dot skirt topped
by a dairymaid bodice that laces up
the front. This bodice is really a jack-
et which when removed reveals a
halter top... Many of these jacket
styles are being shown, and they prove
economical for evening wraps can be
eliminated.
Wraps Play Dual Roles
For those who will have need of
formal wraps there will be fine wool.
short coats that are simple enough
to be worn over anything from sheer
gown to slacks. They come in white,
pink, blue or brilliant red and are
strictly tailored with only tricky but-
tons or gold thread military emblem
to trim the sleeves.
Reminiscent of Spain is a lace
shawl, triangularly shaped, which can
be draped over the shoulders. This
bit of picturesque dress makes asmart

Modernism'
WiIl Be Theme
Of Senior Ball
Decorations Of Blue And Gold,i
Indirect Lighting To Carry Out
Ultra Modern Spirit Of DanceI
Choosing modernism in spirit and
in design to surround them at theirt
last college dance, the class of '41
has completed plans for decoration4
at Senior Ball, which will be Meld fromj
10 p.m. to 3 a.m., Friday, June 20,
in the Intramural Building.
According to Bill Elmer, '41, pub-1
licity member of the committee for;
the dance, the ballroom will be dec-
orated in white, blue and gold. The
side walls will be covered in blue,
the end walls in gold; the white ceil-
ing will have a panel of blue through1
the middle and continuing down the
end walls. Centered on this blue pan-
el on the west wall will be a huge
"41," sparkling, under a lighting ar-
rangement to 'give a three dimen-
sional effect.
Lighting Is Modern
There will be no overhead light-
ing; instead large lights will be en-
closed by a number of steel beams,
covered with large triangular shafts
of cloth, placed on either side of the
floor.
In the middle of the south side
of the floor will be the orchestra
stand. Along the rest of the south and
north sides will be alcoves, created by
the lighted shafts with refreshment
bars where free cokes and gingerale
will be served.
The wall draperies have been de-
signed to give the maximum circula-
tion of air. Also the large ventila-
tion fans already installed in the
building will be in use, for the first
time.
Plan Outdoor Dance Floor
In addition to the cool, well-venti-
lated dance floor, there will be an
outside dance floor, measuring 40 by
80 feet. Two canopies will lead to
this floor from the two southern en-
trances of the building.
Open to the sky, and surrounded
by palm trees, this dance floor will
have as its theme "dancing under
the stars," as has been announced.
Flanking the outside floor will be a
large coke-bar and a small one.
Glenn Miller and his orchestra have
been engaged to play at the dance
for the second consecutive year, with
his singers Ray Eberle, and Paula
Kelly. More than 1300 couples are
expected to attend this last dance
cf all last dances -- the largest num-
ber ever to attend Senior Ball. It
was necessary to extend the normal
capacity of the Intramural Build-
ing by means of extra dance floor
to make this possible.
W
Graduates' Gift Hopes Partake Of
By JEAN GILMERf
"If you were graduating and could
have anything you wanted for aE
graduation gift, what would you
like?" The question was a purely1
hypothetical one, we assure you, andI
we herewith state that no responsi-
bility is assumed for granting re-
quests.
We conducted our inquiry among
the few worried seniors that still
could be found wandering aroundj
the Publications Building, and then
asked those whose graduationplans:
are much less definite. To a man,:
they got a far-away look on their
faces as we cruelly let them indulge
in wishful thinking.
One stalwart male, a perfect physi-
cal specimen without a doubt, asked'
us for a draft deferment, while a
begoggled senior, who evidently still
had hopes of catching a man in the!
next two weeks, wistfully wished for
a fraternity pin.
Embarrassments Arise
Hating to tell her we thought the
chances were slim, we determined
to qualify our interrogation with a
"within reason" to avoid further em-
barrassing situations.
Our next interviewee told us that
he was hoping for a new car, a con-
vertible with white side-walls, of
course. "A job upon graduation and
a bunch of suits to last me until I
get my first raise," was the choice
of another.
We said we couldn't promise any-
thing but we'd see what could be
done, and tackled the next senior.
"Of course, before the war the tra-
ditional graduation gift was a trip
to Europe, but I'd settle for one to
South America or to Hawaii."
Favors Hitch-Hiking
"I would like to spend the summer;
hitch-hiking, if someone would give
me the money I would otherwise have
to earn. It would be great experience
for anyone interested in writing,"
suggested a would-be journalist.
For the benefit of those who are
reading this with the hope of gaining
some solution to the problem of what
to give the graduate, our interviewees
finally came down out of the clouds
and presented a few practical sug-
gestions. A graduation gift should
be something of lasting value, most
agreed.
Following time-honored tradition,
several seniors asked for watches,
which all goes to show that money
spent on advertising isn't wasted.
"A set of really nice golf clubs would
suit me," opined a bronzed athlete.
Matching pieces of luggage or a
Guild Plans Banquet
The underclassmen of the Wesley-
an Guild will hold their fourth an-
nual banquet in honor of the seniors
at 6:30 p.m. today in the Methodist
Church basement.
ishful Thinking And Practicality
fully equipped cosmetic kit would
satisfy one night editor on the wom-
en's staff. A portable radio or a
good "vic" were suggestions endorsed
by many. Albums of records also
met with approval. A man on the
advertising staff wants a genuine
ostrich leather wallet. "It will last
a lifetime," he insists.
Asks For Good Checks'
Magazine subscriptions or pay-
ment in advance for book-of the-
month selections would please one
literary-minded individual. "I don't
want my friends and relatives to tax
their brains for ideas," said one
thoughtful, but mercenary young
gentlemen. "They can just give me
a few nice checks that won't bounce,
and let me decide what to do with
them."
We closed our investigation when
[one sophomore, at present doing his
best to stay eligible, told us his de-
sire: "Just give me a year of leisure,
with all expenses paid and no ques-
tions asked!"
Michigan Women's
Golf Team Defeated
In Interstate Meet
Michigan women golfers came in
second behind a strong Michigan
State team in the Interstate Golf
Competition which was held last Sat-
urday, May 24, at the University of
Michigan Golf Course. Michigan
State's winning score was 19, while
University of Michigan ended up with
11, and Ohio State took third place
with six.
An interesting feature of the meet
according to Virginia Frey, '42E,
president of Pitch and Putt Club, was
Michigan State College's final aver-
age of 96.6. The three lowest scores
were handed in by Marjorie Rowe,
Michigan State, who finished her
round with an 88, Sally Sessions, '44
who brought in a 94, and Deborah
Morgan, Michigan State, who had
a 96.
Flying Club To Meet
The University of Michigan Fly-
ing Club will hold its final meeting
for this year at 7:30 p.m. today in
Room 1042 East Engineering Build-
ing.

accessory, and though black is most
bewitching, the pastels have an inno-
cent charm.
Chintz in white and red check
makes a quilted jacket for formal
use, while Bengaline is always cool
and attractive for brief or full length
evening coats, designed to give enough
protection for summer nights when
the breezes tend toward the coolish
side.
Sharkskin Stays Crisp
Pure white sharkskin will be a fa-
vorite in formals. Perfect for hot sum-
mer nights, it keeps neat and brisk
throughout the entire evening. Eve-
ning dresses of this material will also
come in lovely pastels made up in
very simple but attractive styles.
Plaid seersuckers too are perfect for
summer wear. Jackets of the same
material with smart white pique la-
pels promise to be very popular.
A formalsvariation of the popular
broms tick skirt will dot the dance
floors this summer. Filmy peasant
blouses will top these gay skirts and
short jackets will render them ap-
propriate for dinner dancing.
