PAQ* Union Dance Will Preview Vacation Fun Ann Arbortes And 'Marooned' Students Are Invited To Hear Bill Sawyer At Christmas Party Vacationers have been invited to start off the first of their 16 days with a ban and a tune at the All- Ann-Arbor Christmas Party to be held from 9:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. Fri- day,in the Union Ballroom. Bill Sawyer and his orchestra will make music for the dance which will be informal. Sawyer has promised everyone that all three of his soloists, '"Big John," lovely Gwen Cooper and Bob Holland will be there. Ann Arbor residents and students "marooned" for over vacation have been especially invited to the dance. For this one occasion, the Union has put aside the membership require- ments, so that no one need show his membership card in order to buy a ticket. The price of the tickets has been set at X1.25. Patrons and patronesses who have been invited to chaperon the dance are Prof. and Mrs. Bennet Weaver, Ir. and Mrs. George R. Moore, Mr. and Mrs. Clifton Day, Mr. and Mrs.- Frederic Matthaei, Mr. and Mrs. Leneord Gregory, Mr. and Mrs. Don- ald Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Barnum and Mr. and Mrs. J. Von Bush. Sponsors of this Christmas party, the staff of the Union, have an- nounced that its purpose is to bring the music of Bill Sawyer's orchestra to the'people of Ann Arbor and vicin- ity, who have before now only had the opportunity of listening to it over the air lanes and who, because of the lack of membership cards, have been unable to dance to it. 1.

Dresses that breathe of "Winter 1940-41" have elbow sleeves, medi- um full skirts and collarless necklines. Little individualities are needed for such thoroughly adopted styles. Scalloped self-patterns over the entire skirt that emphasize its folds can be reflected in scalloped pockets. The bright metallic note is brought in by military emblems on pockets, anAd the pIointed cut of the bodice material where it joins the skirt gives the effect of a long torso.

Includes Six Women A fairly representative cross-sec- tion of the various instruments in the orchestra is found among the 21 pieces that were selected for audi- tions. Six women were among those interviewed. Last year three musi- cians represented Michigan at the Center, among them Thor Johnson, director of the University orchestra. Scholarships to the Center should prove very valuable to the student, according to Mr. Johnson. Those students who were inter- viewed were Italo Frajola, Grad., S.M.; Vladimir Lukashuk, '42SM; Thomas Wheatley, '42SM; Edward Ormond, '42SM; Margery Mellott, '43SM; Martha McCrory, '41M; Ma- rian Mellott, William Golz, '41E; Jean Jeffry, '43; Ruth Wehner.

Receives Scholarship Mr. Johnson, through Serge Kous- sevitzky, conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, received the Frank Huntington Beebe scholarship fund in 1937. Koussevitzky had heard Mr. Johnson's famous Little Sym- phony Orchestra, and felt that a chance to travel and study abroad would be enriching experience for when they took a free ride at the op- ening of the Ypsilanti airport. Since then they have taken extensive tripsf all over the country, and viewed in a few hours the sights most travelersl see only after days of motoring. For instance, they've flown to- gether to the Pacific Coast five times. They've explored the historical grounds ofuthetEast, and on one fourth of July they followed by air the same road which Paul Revere, sped over on his galloping horse froml Lexington to Concord back in 1776. In winter they escape the bitter cold with an occasional trip to the South- land.l fl~AtflSA, *L'L *Yll . pLflAIA.JAU nIJJflkUO Us U that "Whether or not wives stay in theti own homes or enter outside fields is an individual problem, isn't it?

It all depends on the individual.", Was President of "Ninety-Niners" Nevertheless 20 years of connubial companionship attest to the success of her own ability to combine two distinct features of her life. From 1935 to 1937 she served as national president of the "Ninety-Niners," foremost woman pilot's organization in the country. She has logged some 1,170 hours in the air, starting from her second time up, which was her first lesson.- Her most recent adventure is ground instruction. In collaboration with the Civilian Pilot Training Corps she teaches primary and secondary student pilots here and at Ypsilanti. Of her 100 students, one is a girl, Caroline Hager, '43, a coed majoring Sororities To Hold Christmas Parties Today, Tomorrow To offset this week's bluebooks and studies ,the sororities have planned gay Christmas parties. Alpha Phi will have a Christmas dinner today at which the others of the collegiate chapter, the alum- nae, and patronesses will present a gift to the house. Tomorrow night, the chapter will have its big Chr"ist- mas party. *Continuing a tradition of many years, "Steve," jovial bus driver on the bus route that passes the Alpha Phi door, will don Santa Claus attire and distribute presents. Gamma Phi Beta and Kappa Del- ta will hold their Christmas parties today and tomorrow nights respect- ively. They will send gifts to the chil- dren at University Hospital. Many Short Trips Taken Although letting the wife fly planes in her spare time might air- not By RHODA LESHINE "Although there is a great deluge of young ,designers popping up every- where, the talented ones will survive and succeed; andthat is true of what- ever work is attempted in life," answered Ruth LeBron, publicity manager of an exclusive New York retail clothing house, \to a question on career opportunities awaiting the lit- erally designing woman at Michigan. Miss LeBron said that, today, as always, it is difficult to say how one may proceed to break into the field of fashion. "Fashion design schools usually have scholarships which are an entering wedge into business," she recommended as one way of finding the path leading to the gates of 'achievement in design. Skethk ing' Taleit ValuabIle "Designers who are capable of sketching often use this as a first step by obtaining a job as a sketch- er in a designing house," was another illustration that she offered in meth- ods "to break in." "These women usually work right with the designers and follow through all steps in the making of each original," she fur- ther explained. Miss LeBron pointed out another step which she said to be the hardest of all-to get a job as a sewer or finisher in a designer's workroom and to work "up the ladder." Contests Are Important "There are some agencies," Miss Le-} JGP Compositions Will Be Recorded As an added incentive to all youth- ful composers, the central commit- tee of JGP has agreed to record the best songs'used in the annual musi- cal comedy. Anyone who wishes to submit mu- sic for the play, which will be pre- sented next semester and is entitled "Jumping Jupiter," may obtain syn- opses of the script from Phyllis Wat- ers. Would-be composers who lack technical musical knowledge but who have ideas for songs are urged to persuade a musician to write the number down for them. Vacation Sports Fun Is Continued Herej Christmas is the time when sports aren't crowded into "spare moments;" they're the main entertainment for the holiday season. Headway in winter athletic , tech- nique needn't be stopped on return to Ann Arbor, however. Bron revealed, "that employ young designers to make sketches of their own ideas in fashions for the coming season. Many full-fledged designers buy these sketches from the agen- cies." Another path on the success road she listed were the opportunities the leading fashion magazines frequently offer. Miss LeBron stressed the neces- sity of taking advantage of contests open to the college woman in de- signing, for business keeps a sharp eye on the winners in these com- petitions, she feels.
