Academics Can Be Forgotten As Hobby Lobby Makes Gifts By LOIS SHAPIRO Put down those books, rub your eyes, and pu'll away from those aca- demic thoughts. Let's get our hands busy with some workable materials and turn out practical, clever things for Christmas gifts. Just put on your coat and dash overj to the little house on Palmer Field any Monday, Wednesday, or Friday' between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. and become an active member of Hobby Lobby. Industry, Frolic Combine Now's the time to have some fun and at the same time make novel gifts for all your friends. Belts, made of wooden links, linked together by leather thongs, with different designs painted on each of the links make very colorful presents. The wood comes in a long strip, which is then chopped into small rectangular blocks. These are sandpapered, stencils are Arrived! A New Shipment of CHRISTMAS GIFTS to Put Around Your Tree. Come and Visit Us traced on each link, or they may be handdrawn and painted. Then holes are bored in each corner through the leather thongs are laced. Belts and bracelets of this wooden type can also be made with a letter of the person's name on each link; then the completed article spells the entire name. Necklaces and brace- lets have been turned out at Hobby Lobby, all of the unusual and dis- tinctively original kind. Horse chest- nuts shellacked and strung on a gold chain make a very different decora- tion for a wool dress or the classical cardigan. Bows Are Practical Hobby Lobbyists are also making archery bows to be used in leisure time or in WAA gym classes. Hot pads can be woven on looms like the ones we used in kindergarten, and there are gaily colored materials to be used. A more recent idea is to work with leather in different colors with which can be made leather jerkins by sew- ing the pieces together with thongs. Brain-children are springing up fast and furiously in the little white house on Palmer Field and some really clev- er things are being turned out. Friend- ships are easily formed when you are working together over handi- craft, so why not come out, make friends as well as clever gifts for this Christmas. Pledging Announced 'X-mas' Dance Will Be Given B Assembly Tradition Is Broken As Tickets Will Be Sold Only To Men; Bids To Go On Sale Tuesday Tradition will be overruled in "X- mas X-press," Assembly's annual in- formal dance to be given Friday, Dec. 13 in the League, when tickets which go on sale Tuesday will be sold to men istead of women. Tickets will be sold at the Union and League desks, the Parrot and the West Quadangle. The sale of tickets will be continued until the pre-Christ- mas dance and also will be sold at the door the night of the affair. Bids will be priced at $1.00 a couple. Bill Sawyer and his men will set the tempo and vocalist Gwen Cooper will provide the lyrics for the holiday dance which will be the last of the League's Christmas festivities. Keeping to the spirit of Christmas, a pack will be stationed at the door of thb ballroom and those who attend are invited to bring a ten cent gift. Members of the Assembly Board who are sponsoring the dance, will dis- tribute these gifts to children at the hospital who will spend the holiday in the institution. Frances Nevin, '41, is general chair- man for the dance and is assisted by a committee composed of Assembly Board members. Oiff the 1Bloich Sophomore Cabaret An object lesson in how to put over a class project successfully was dem- onstrated these last two days by a group of 14 sophomore women, who possessed an excess of initiative, or- iginality and imagination, and who had a profound respect for preserv- ing a Michigan tradition as well as raking in the profits. This year's central committee for Sophomore Cabaret took over a big responsibility when they took over their jobs last spring, for they were told that unless the Cabaret proved to be a definite conttibution to cam- pus social life, as well as a money- making project, it would have to be discontinued. * Work Started In June The group started work way last June, and during the summer, Chair- man Julie Chockley was kept in- formed of the progress of the various committee heads by the use of a round-robin letter device. During the summer, her staff saw to it that the words and music for the show were written, wrote to officials in Florida and Cuba for permission to use exhibits on display in the worlds fairs, and concocted some-of the very clever three-dimensional decorations used in the various exhibits. Thus, their publicity had something solid behind it. I personally know of several organizations who have ad- vertised various and sundry project features, which, at the time of writing, were mere figments of the imagina- tion. If the campus loses interest in their projects, therefore, they have no right to complain. This year, a good many "firsts" were initiated by the Committee which contributed to the Cabaret's success, such as using a "big-name" band, employing the whole second floor of the League, and featuring a big merchants' display. Julie Choakley, Congrats! Heartiest congratulations to Julie Chockley and her 14 assistants: Vir- ginia Morse, Margaret Ihling, Mar- garet Avery, Jean Ranahan, Sally Laux, Joy Wright, Dorothy Johnson, Olga Gruhzit, Marjorie Mahon, Mar- jorie Nield, Elizabeth Gram, Jean Cor- dell, and Mary Pate. Miss Chockley also asked that she might express her appreciation for work on the Cabaret through this column to Miss Ethel McCormick, Miss Barbara McIntyre, Dick McKel- vey, Don Williams and the host of sophomore women who participated in committee work and without whose cooperation the project could not have been presented. Variety is the favorite word in the vocabulary of the college girl when she is talking about clothing, and variety is just the word to use in de-I scribing the innumerable and at- French Cuffs, Varied Sleeves, Stitching, Accent New Blouses aas long full sleeves ending in the above-named French cuffs, deep pointed reveres, and stitched "flower pot" pockets placed heart-high. Tailleur Can Be Dressy For something a, little more dressy there's another tailored blouse, shirt waist style, made in the sheerest of rayons with tiny pearl buttons down the front. A combination of jacket and blouse is a quaint, feminine lace affair, with elbow length sleeves. square neck, and self-colored buttons. Back to the shirt waist we see one with especially full sleeves, tailored tucks graduated in size on each side of the blouse, and the popular con- vertible collar which can be worn outside of the coat or buttoned up to the chin. The same model can be seen with short sleeves banded in rows of tiny stitching. Yoke Is Pintucked Lace ruffles, jabotshyokes, panels and collars are all the "go" right now on dainty white blouses for the holiday season. There's a very coy and decorative number around with a yoke and waist-band of countless stitched- down pintucks, Peter Pan collar and short sleeves. The yoke collar and sleeves are all edged 'round with the daintiest of lace. General Ticket Sale To Begin Tomorrow The ticket sale for Panhellenic Ball will be open to all women on campus from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. tomorrow and Tuesday in the lobby of the League, Lois Basse, '42, chairman of the tick- Lt committee, announced. The annual ball, which will be held from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday in the League Ballroom, will feature Mitchell Ayres' orchestra and vocal- ists Mary Ann Mercer and Tommy Taylor. An excursion to New York and the starlite roof of the "Panhellenic Ho- tel" will be the theme of the dance. A DATE PROM . . THEN . . . you must make a date to let us add that "finish- ing touch".

Formal attire isn't' necessary, of course, but the large part of those attending will probably wear it. This applies only to the first floor, the balcony will be strictly informal. Several of the fraternities have planned to hold formal dinners before the opera. In past years, it was cus- tomary to have the first night entirely formal. After last year's revival of the temporarily discontinued opera, it has been merely offered as a sug- gestion that the audience dress. Recording Concerts To Start Tomorrow On Union Terrace Using last spring's successful con- certs as a model, the Union is be- ginning a series of classical recording hours with an all-Tschaikowsky pro- gram from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. tomor- row, in the terrace of the Michigan Union. Concerts will be held every Mon- day, Wednesday and Friday, Mon- day's and Friday's concerts to be in the terrace of the Union, and Wed- nesday's to be in Room 302. Emphasis will be placed on appre- ciation rather than explanation. Ev- eryone is invited to attend. Tomor- row's concert will feature the Fourth and Fifth Symphonies of Tschaikow- sky. Future programs will include the works of such famous masters as Beethoven, Brahms, Bach, Rimsky- Korsakoff and Hayden.
