quarters of the Red Cross

As soon as it became known that
I was supposed to write Chips, etc.
for the mighty mite of the women's
ltaf f.al the friends I have (both,
etc.) came up and said. "I know what
I'd say if I had the chance." "This
would be a good time to air my pet
peeve, gripe, etc," and other similar
statements. Since I had nothing in
oarticular to write about, I thought
I might as well ask them what their
ideas were and act as the medium for
them-with a few comments on the
same.
Dissatisfaction and general repug-
nance was expressed by a member
of another staff (we can't mention
tames, new ruling, etc.) about the
things women wear these days. It's
i trite subject, one usually discussed
by guest, male columnists, so it was
only with trepidation that I agreed
to include his suggestion.
His Dislikes Are
He has a point though, when he
says he won't speak to his girl if she
wears those socks which come up to
here . .. , or if she wears novel ank-
'ets with her initials on them or
those "yummy" shades of lipstick;
and on another point he dislikes some
of the patriotic trinkets women wear
to display their loyalty.
Regardless of how we feel about
some of the modern trends in Amer-
ican fashions for women, we've got
to realize that they are experiment-
.ng in many ways. A sudden, un-
asal load has been placed upon the
shoulders of American fashion de-
signers with the disappearance of
Parisian style-setters. They're not
yet sure of themselves, because
they're trying to be original in a
genuine. American fashion and to
get away, where it is desirable, from
foreign fashion tradition. I don'tI
like those socks, nor the shoes, nor
some of the doo-dads women wear,
but I'm willing to wait 'till this
period of adjustment which comes

Women's teams continue to fight
for the intramural volleyball cham-
pionship as nine more teams were
eliminated from the contest during
the past week.
Martha Cook team II downed Gam-
ma Phi Beta with a score of 28-24,
while Martha Cook team I ousted
Zone II, 24-23. Pi Beta Phi, by de-
fault, beat Ann Arbor Independents,
1-0.
Helen Newberry, also winning by
default, sent Betsy Barbour volleyers
out of the tournament, 1-0, as Adelia
Cheever defaulted to Kappa Alpha
Theta. Delta Gamma beat Alpha
Phi, 28-24, while Zone II lost to
Alumni House, 28-16. Kappa Delta
with a wide score of 46-24 came out
ahead of Alpha Zeta Delta.
at the beginning of any new move-
menu, is over.
Girls Feel Wronged
Here's something a little lighter.
One of the girls (who may be recog-
nized by the huge dog waggling af-
ter her) said she was pretty mad be-
cause of the way she was treated by
members of the s-----s staff. She
wanted to add her selections to those
of Evy, Tom, Wirt and Paul which
appear on the s-----s page.
Now I think the boys were a bit
orovincial by not letting her join the
board of "experts." This disdainful
attitude toward women's ability to
pick sporting events goes a long way
back into the history of sports when
the Neanderthal man first bet on the
3utcome of the meeting between the
two top teams in the Head-hunters
Conference.
There were others, but space re-
quirements prohibit any further
comment, except an assignment
sheet: Doris, good page last night-
heads read well; Jeanne, any fur-
ther engagements? Dolly, Dober's
writing the column for today-get
down early; Grace-nothing new on
Dorothy Thompson? Frannie-try
the I-M Building if the WAA gets
boring; Frannie M., how about a fea-
ture on women in radio? Rhoda, try
to get a little more of your own per-
sonality in your interviews; 'Janet,
can't you get some ideas from that
course in feature writing?
