THE MICHIGAN DAILY strDAY, OGBKERI6194 PetitioningForAssemblyBanquet Posts To Begin Monday Interviewing To Begin On Thursday Annual Affair To Be Held Nov. 4 In League Ballroom By Independent Women Petitioning for committee positions on the annual Assembly Banquet will begin at 9 a.m. Monday and con- tinue until 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, ac- cording to a statement issued yes- terday by Patricia Walpole, '41, pres- ident of Assembly. Interviewing for central commit- tee positions will be conducted by the Assembly Board between the hours of 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. Thurs- day and Friday. Anyone wanting a central committee job must first hand in her petition in the Undergrad- uate Office of the League, before being interviewed. For those not planning to petition for chairman- ships, but who want to be on a com- mittee, it is only necessary to peti- tion. Presented By Independents The banquet, which is given an- nually by the independent women on campus, will take place Nov. 4 in the ballroom of the League. Posi- tions on central committee which are open for petitioning include gen- eral chairman, assistant general chairman, and heads of the follow- ing committees: tickets, decorations, programs, Patrons and publicity. . All eligible women on campus, in- cluding transfers, are invited to peti- tion. Miss Walpole announced that all applicants must present their eli- gibility cards before being inter- viewed. She also suggested that peti- tioners should state their ideas fully on the blank which they turn in, since this gives the committee a bet- ter opportunity to consider their mer- its. Executive Officers Compose Board The Assembly Board is made up of the executive officers of the group, one delegate from each dormitory, and the president and secretary- treasurer of the Ann Arbor Independ- ents, League Houses and Beta Kap- pa Rho. Officers of Assembly for the coming year besides Miss Wal- pole, are Betty Lyman, vice-presi- dent and Betty Hall, secretary. It has been a tradition of Senior Society to tap their twenty members at Installation Banquet, which is held in the spring. This year, six new members will be tapped at the Assembly Banquet, for there are only 14 seniors in membership now. Assembly Banquet is .the climax of the Independent Fortnight, and the first big event in the independent's academic calendar. Last year a new idea was inauguratedfor feting the scholarship of independent women at the Banquet. The names of the three best students each year in each class will be engraved on a bronze plaque to be preserved for posterity. LETTERS TO THE EDTOR Dear Editor: To the disappointment of both dat- ed and undated the pep session of Friday evening proved to be a com- plete flop. The whole program seemed to lack planning. After the parade down to the Field House the atmosphere became somber except fpr a few minutes when Coach Fielding H. Yost brought down the house. The lack of organization was ex- pressed particularly well when the band left early and left the cheer leaders to lead the singing and do all the rallying themselves. Failure Repeition? There are two alternatives to re- peating the failure: either we should discontinue the pep session altogeth- er or we should make it worth go- ing to. A survey of public opinion would probably reveal preference for the latter. In that case we must make the pep session so much fun that no one will feel like wrecking the town afterwards. We might accomplish this by fol- lowing up a suggestion used last night. The whole pep session should be held in the field. Flooding the field with lights and connecting a P.A. system would make this possible. At the end of the speeches the lights should be disconnected and -the fire lighted. The fire should include fire works; firecrackers, sky rockets, fountains, etc. Hang a Michigan State flag over the top of it and let it burn. It is essential that the fire be large enough to last until the crowd is satisfied. Band Is Necessary Keep the band there. Break up the cheering with a few songs. Keep the cheer leaders busy. Above all keep the crowd interested. Gathers, Pleats, Fancy Po(Ckets Rate New Residents Is It Anklets?

Diekema, social director, and Miss Sara Rowe, house director. Tea will be served following the service.

Women's Research Club To Hear Talks On Coptic Dr. Elinor Husselman will discuss "Coptic Manuscripts and papyri in the University of Michigan collec- tion," and Dr. Louise Shier will speak on "A sixth century Coptic Manu- script in the University Collection" at a meeting of the women's research club 7:30 tomorrow in the Rackham Building. Knee-Lengths? Type Decides Which is your school of thought --that which advocates new knee- length socks or that which is for the traditional anklet? There's no doubt that each has its boosters, but the best thing is that there is no reason why one shoudn't enlist under both banners. One should, of course, remember their type before taking either. Those who wear knee-lengths most successfully are definitely on the slender side, and must beable to wear short, flaring skirts. Best looking of high socks are the tyrolean type in white with green clocks up the side. Scotland too has its influence on this new fad, for those old favorites, ar- gyles, hav come up to knee level. Plaid argyles are, however, just as much in use as anklets as ever beforeuTheir sophisticated sport look is a natural favorite with college wo- men. Otheranklets have just the cuffs in plaid. Large, dark blue checks on a light blue sock is a vari- ation of the plaid theme. Should you be among those who have slender ankles, take the op- portunity to wear big, puffy angora anklets. To go one step farther than last year's initials on cuffs, this fall the whole name is being written out. Girls at Stevens College hold a weekly meeting to discuss their bad habits and how to stop them. Working Girls' Sorority'Lasts The Year 'Round Will Sponsor Game Fest Beta Kappa Rho, the Campus Working Girls Sorority, met at the League Tuesday evening to plan fu- ture activities. The group is going to convene Saturday to prepare re- freshments for its Game Fest on Sunday at 4:00 in the Women's Ath- letic Building. Plans are also being made for a Hallowe'en Celebration on October 26. Beta Kappa Rho is a group of wo- men 'students who are partially or wholly self-supporting, many of whom reside in private homes. The organization is one of the auxiliary units of the Michigan League. The primary objective of Beta Kappa Rho is to provide social contacts and; activities for its members. Sara Jeanne Hauke, '42, is gen- eral chairman of the group. Betsy Burkheiser, '42, is the group's social chairman. Patronesses of the organ- ization include Miss Fredericka Gil- lette, Mrs. Florence Preston, Mrs. Wilma Donahue, Mrs. Axel Marin, Mrs. Wilber Humphreys, and Mrs. A. Franklin Shull. Mrs. Byrl F. Ba- ho. is the sponsor of Beta Kappa Rho. Regular intramural tournaments are held all year 'round under the auspices of the Woman's Athletic As- sociation, with the facilities of the Woman's Athletic Building and Bar- bour Gymnasium at the disposal of the participators. D.O.B. carries no- tices of all events. WAA SPORTS SCHED4JLE Outdoor Club: Roller skating tour of campus, all students invited, 2:30 p.m. at Women's Athletic Building.

The skirt lines feature the jumper, pleats and gathers, with fancy pockets and jumper tops contrasting. Sleeves vary between three- quarter and full length as well as in fullness. Combining the tailored and effeminate fashions in wools and velvet leaves choice up to indi- viduals more than ever. Hats add the finishing touch to the outfit. Novelty Necklaces Set Styles But Never Will Replace Pearls 6 ventnqJTari Just as classic as the practical sweaters which appear perennially on the campus are thenecklaces which, go with them, adding the de- sired touch of individuality. The stream of novelty necklaces made of everything from giant safe- ty pins to colored sea-shells is nev- er-ending, but the popular favorites year in and year out are of course single or multiple strands of pearls. They are suitable for every occasion, but are particularly appropriate as complements for otherwise plain pull- overs and cardigans. Simple Necklaces Good Other types of simple necklaces may be mentioned: twisted, beaded ropes in pastel shades, silver and gold ones which resemble the snakey looking stuff keychains are made of. Also good are the twisted strands of beads in three tones of gold rang- ing from a sort of bronze to shades of copper and white gold. A rather new and effective neck- lace is the one of beads made in the magical DuPont laboratories from coal tar and water like your Nylon stockings. The stones vary in shades from pale blue and pink with the opaline effect of moonstones, to the brilliant, glowing ones resembling sapphires and rubies. - ,Lockets Return Pendants and lockets reminiscent of the Victorian era are also becom- ing to sweaters. Prized" are the fam- ily heirlooms of this sort with room for tiny pictures, but modern imi- tations can be just as attractive, es- pecially those simple gold ones cov- ered with mother-of-pearl. If you are not the kind of a per- son with a penchant for thinking up unusual bits of jewelry from rubber bands and cork, just get a classic type of necklace and wear it with the assurance that its conservative beau- ty makes it suitable for practically every occasion. Campus women will be interested to learn that Mademoiselle suggests a change from the almost traditional sweater and blouse to smooth dresses.
