F 'N I w T six THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1940 reshme Annual Mixers Will Feature Campus Bands 800 Freshmen Will Dance; In League, Union Ballrooms; 'Conga' To Be Demonstrated Approximately 400 freshmen men and women will "mix-up" to the mel- odies of Bill Sawyer's Swing Quintet, at the Freshman Mixer to be held, from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. today in the Union Ballroom. A second 400 new students will dance to Bill Gail's orchestra at the second mixer to{ be held from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. tomorrow in the League Ballroom. An additional feature of the Friday1 affair will be a demonstration of thet Conga by Jane Connell, '42, Dick Strain, '42, Claire Reed-Hill, '42, and Bob Shedd, '42. Mixers Prove Worth The Freshman Mixers were inaug- urated at the University about five years ago. They have been continuedi each year since as they have proved excellent in assisting, freshmen in becoming acquainted with their class- mates. The programs for the affairs< have been planned with a specialt emphasis on the "mixer" idea. Advisers of the Orientation groups will attend the mixers with theirc group members. Tickets for the dances were distributed to the fresh-1 men during Orientation week and these will be necessary for admis-t sion to the ballrooms. Women willI be admitted free while there will bei an extra charge of 15 cents for all men.- Co-Sponsors Named1 Co-sponsors of the mixers are the League and Union represented by chairman Virginia Osgood, '41, Mar- garet Hubbard, '41, Dick Strain, '42,1 and Dick Scherling, '42.t Last year a Henry Ford orchestrat featured square dances at the fresh-l man mixer. Entertainment faturing the Conga was provided at the dance which wasc held for the freshman women after1 the reception for Dean Alice Lloyd, which was held at the League onc Thursday and Friday of last week.t Because the women were so enthusi-; astic about the shuffling jungle rhythm of this slave dance, it is ex- pectedethat an equally enjoyable time will. be had by all those freshmen who attend these tea dances. Initiation Is AnnouncedY Phi Sigma Sigma is thie first oft the sororities to announce an initia- tion this year. The new initiate ist Reva B. Frumkin, '42, Flint. To fill1 in a vacancy that was left from last year, Shirley Kaplan, '43, of Grosse< Pointe, was elected secretary.I Will Meet At Mixers Tod ay And Tomorrow Outdoor Qroups Plan Mixed Trip To Youth Hostel With bicycles, meal ingredients and comfortable clothes, the women's outdoor club, in conjunction with a Union men's group will attempt the first mixed hosteling trip into the Saline Valley Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 12 and 13. The first 10 women to sign up with Gertrude Inwood, '43, Stock- well, and Marion Bale, '41, also of Stockwell Hall, will have the oppor- tunity of taking this second trip un- der the Youth Hostel plan. The two day adventure will cover 15 miles of cement road, since gravel and bi- cycles do not mix, according to the participants of the last Saline Valley trip. The ambitious group will leave about noon Saturday from the WAB, and will stop at the Saline Valley Farms where meals will be cooked over either an outdoor or indoor fire. With good weather, plans call for a re-entrance into Ann Arbor in time for Sunday dinner. Bicycles can be rented at $1.50 for the weekend, while the evening rest will cost but a quarter. Men must sign up with carl Rohrbach, '42E, of the Michi- gan Union. Upon the success of the first expe- dition of this year depend the plans for a Patterson Lake trip which is being considered for the skating sea- son. This new offer of mixed-party trips is in accord with the Women's Athletic Association policy of offer- ing more "mixed sport" to students. The outdoor club first joined the American Youth Hostel last spring, when the first trip was made. The club hostel membership is a blanket one, entitling all who make trips un- der its auspices to the facilities of the Hostel farms. All women are eligible to sign up for the Saline party, since the outdoor club has an "open mem- bership." The youth hostel movement, which gained its fame from its European origin, has been very popular in the Eastern states of the United States, and especially in New England. It is only recently that this movement has taken the Middle West and West by storm. Archery, Dance Clubs Sponsor Initial Teasi All women students interested in modern or ballet dancing are invited to attend an organization tea spon- sored by the dance clubs at 4 p.m. tomorrow in the Women's Athletic Building. The archery club also will hold its organization tea at 4:30 p.m. tomor- row in the WAB. Jeather Jn Jder (lap- An atmosphere well saturated with anticipation may lead to many things. In this case, it is ushering in an event as important to old- timers as to the newest freshman or transfer - Michigan's first home game of this season. Clothes will take no small part in next Saturday's jovial and sportive spirit. There are different ways in which to dress, and seeing high- heels and a pill box hat at one glance, then saddles and uncovered curls with the next look is abso- lutely normal. The circumstances, however, under which each are worn are anything but the same. If a date is to accompany you through the crowds and to a seat in the bleachers, it's best that heels and hat be worn, but greater informality follows the group of women attending together. Remember that, after all, a date for football spectating is still a date, and one should dress accordingly. Tweed suits wilf probably be ideal for the game, or a three-piece outfit may better answer the weather prob- lems of the day. Snap-brim hats or beanies will be favorites, but slightly dressier hats are as acceptable, for so many out- siders come to see the game bedecked in their finery, and they're mixed in with the students enough that classic hats are not necessarily the order of the day. Outsiders make the scene more formal. Since they're not in the cheering section, however, that is a place of greater informality. No hats, of course, should be too dressy, for there is practically no situation that allows an extreme for Michigan co-eds. Pompadour hats with a bit of decoration, such as feather or ribbon, will be as appropriate as will something that dips just a little over the eye. If it's cold enough for fur coats, and you're among the fortunate who own a beaver hat, don't fail to have it top your first game outfit. As to fur coats, it often happens that it's too warm for them at the beginning of the season, but if you think it is cold enough to be com- fortable in one, wear it. A tweed or trimmed coat will do as well. Lea- ther gloves are a good idea, no mat- ter what the rest of the costume may be. Shoes and dress must be chosen with an eye to what is to be done after the game. There are many parties' or fraternity and sorority buffets that follow thevictorious (said with hope) march up State Street, and many dances in the evening, so find out if one such is to be included in yor day. Abso- lutely the safest thing to wear is a wool dress for they're a happy combination of casualness and for- mality. You can walk into any af- fair but a formal dance with a snappy wool. Corduroy, the newest of materials to be cut into classic dress lines, will also answer the football question. Wear a matching beanie, if one is to be had. Appropriate for next Sat- urday are flannel and wool blouses, but they are not dressy enough for Two League Committees And Assembly Board Plan Initial Meetings Three League groups, the Theatre- Arts and Candy Booth Commitees and the Assembly Board will hold their initial meetings of the year to- day in the League. On the Theatre-Arts committee, only the committee heads and their assistants will be expected to attend the first meeting at 4 p.m. Plans for the coming Children's Theatre sea- son will be discussed. All members of the Assembly Board will be ejpected to be present at its meeting at 4:30 p.m., Patricia Wal- pole, '41, has announced. The prob- lems of League House zoning and the election of dormitory represen- tatives will be discussed. Members of the Board include one delegate from each dormitory, and the presi- Masculine Taste Approves New Corduroy Coats By A. PAUL BLAUSTEIN Women on the Michigan campus are still continuing to confuse men, please them, disappoint them and prove that "La Donne" is still "Mo- bile" along the fashion front. The latest thing, which is caus- ing a minor fashion sensation on practically every campus in the coun- try, is the wearing of corduroy coats in all sizes and shapes, and in all styles from that of a short jacket to that of an overcoat. The Men Finally Approve And it certainly is about time that the women came out with some sort of new and interesting fashion that the men really like so our hats are off to the fair sex. These jackets come in all colors, and everything from a pale blue to a scarlet red is in the vogue. Some are close fitting, others hang loosely, some have V necks, others have col- lars, some have two buttons and some have as many as sift. But they are all attractive and approved of. Perhaps the most popular of these among the men are those in a light red which seems to compromise beau- tifully the colors of pink and scar- let. A small V neck on the jacket which is short and form fitting is most popular. Condemn High Socks But despite these charming gar- ments the female of the species still manages to chase away the anxious male by two other articles of femi- nine attire-high wool socks and dirty saddle shoes. Time and time again men have taken their pgi in hand to criticize both of these but like the wind, the rain and the tides they continue to go along ad infinitum. The saddle shoes have received the seal approval from some men in the past but -their use for anything but sports is not desired. No Saddle Shoes On Dates So, confessing failure, we stop complaining but do ask that they are not worn on dates or on import- ant functions and are kept clean. The fight against the high wool sock has been more successful and men have finally got them against the ropes. That they are unbecom- ing everyone knows and the belief that they are effective barriers against the wintry blasts of Ann Arbor is no longer valid. You Might Be Wrong; Rushing CansBe Fun, Too If rushing means nothing to you but a type of grueling experience that one suffers through with a set grin and a forced pleasantness, think twice-it's fun ! Meeting all the girls that it would ordinarily take years to get around to, relaxing and talking just as fast as all women love to do, amusedly watching good entertainment and not so good entertainment is all just as much fun as making the ordinary round of weekend parties. So rush- ers and rushees, start really enjoy- ing yourselves. Newman Club Honors Newcomers At Mixer Catholic students of St. Mary's Chapel will be received at a mixer to be held by the Newman Club at 8 p.m. today in the chapel club rooms.

ELEANOR HANAVAN dances that evening, so only don that if there will be time to change. Luck followed all women stu- dents of universities with auto bans when this fall's shoes were designed. Low-heeled pumps are in full style, and that means com- fort in walking to the game. Neat flat-heeled shoes and anklets are for the game only, but not for the following festivities. The almighty spectator pump is still a choice one can't go wrong on. If .one is to sit with a group of girls-and many such groups from a house or dormitory hall do band together for the game--done should dress in just about the same way as on campus. A good looking suit, or a skirt and sweater with a short, boxy coat fits in well with the over- flowing gaiety of the occasion. Wear saddle shoes, not heels. If you want to wear a hat, which is hardly neces- sary. make it a snap brim or a beanie. Now to introduce the Best- Dressed Co-ed of the Week, whose picture here is to be a weekly fea- ture. This co-ed, chosen from the actual campus scene, is not one who has necessarily acquired pre- vious fashion fame. Last week dur- ing orientation, Eleanor Hanavan, '41, was seen in a busy moment around the League. She won the best-dressed award with a costume that was casually appropriate to the occasion, yet outstanding be- cause of its trimness, and empha- sis on color scheme for distinctive- ness. The jumper is of royal blue, self- printed corduroy, and the blouse of grey wool. Her anklets were of a lighter blue, and the saddle shoes were clean. dent and secretary-treasurer of the Ann Arbor Independents, the League Houses and Beta Kappa Rho, an or- ganization composed of women work- ing in private homes.
