Bill Sawyer and his orchestra, as tradition dictates, will furnish the music. There will be funny songs by Big John, and sweet warbling by Gwen Cooper and Bob Holland, and specialty numbers by the orchestra, Sawyer promises. New Year's will be celebrated with all the trimmings. Tables will be' set around the room and on each will burn a candle. Favors from paper caps to toy whistles will be passed out to dancers at midnight, to make the celebration more lively. Sawyer has announced for the benefit of departing students, that reservations can be made now at the+ Union desk. The dance will be semi-7 formal this year (or next year) and the tickets have been priced at $2.75 per couple. Four Are Initiated Theta Phi Alpha sorority an- nounces the formal initiation of four new members; Betsy Burkheiser, Ruth Parsons, Marie Camp, and Rosemary Ryan. The initiation was followed by a Christmas dinner. Members of the Detroit alumnae were present. New members were enter- tained with an informal Christmas dinner party, Sunday, Dec. 15.

But it isn't a rest from the minute they set foot on the train. If, for instance, one is taking the special to Chicago with the plush seats (more uncomfortable than any- thing ever imagined), he knows that he must get to the station about two hours before train time to be sure to have a place to put his coat and hat. Once that is done, he begins to roam the aisles to find someone to drag into the diner with him. Up and down the aisles he sways, bump- ing into 10 or 12 other people who of' course are going the opposite way. Onto the next car, nd the next car, and the next, ad infinitum, or so it seems, he travels. Finally his search is rewarded and he is confront- ed by a pal who deigns to accompany him to the diner to drink cokes. A1 pack of cards is taken along, "just in case." They reach the diner just in time to snatch the last available table from beneath the other fellow's nose. Cokes are ordered, cigarettes are lit and the session is on. This is at the beginning of the train journey, but even if we look in several hours later, the situation is the same. Now, however, the cards are in use and there are more than two people at the table. All attempts to skirt the table to get into the next car are foiled before they begin. Anyone who might desire something to eat must be content with the candy bars occa- sionally called through the cars as the tables in the diner are all so crowded with coke-drinkers and card- players, that service in the form of food is an impossibility. So the hungry travelers simply tighten their belts and makestheir way back resignedly to the other cars. And when our friend finally decides that his stop is almost upon him, he breaks up the card game at the cru- cial point (it would be!) and if he is successful infiiding his coat, he is really a lucky vacationer! To Play AtDance Bi I I Sawyer BILL SAWYER Beta Kappa Rho Reveals Plans Group's Purpose To Be Social; Game Fest, Dan e To Be Held Beta Kappa Rho, newly organized group for wholly or partially self- supporting women on campus, has announced that Sara Jeanne Hauke, '42, has been elected as president for the coming year.

On Feb. 22, the group is staging an informal dance called "The Minuet." The theme of the dance will be car- ried out with waltzes and minuets. Ri MfIN'S IEYE VIEW The advertising staff just yanked a couple of inches from the page, hence the column today. Or did you know this was only used to fill up extra space? Will Furnish Music At Dance No Membership Requirement Will Be Needed For Occasion; Tickets Will Be Priced At $1 .25 Sprigs of mistletoe will help create the holiday spirit for vacationeerss who come to the All-Ann Arbor Christmas Party from 9:30 p.m. to 1 p.m. tonight in the Vnion Ball- room.

"Big John," lovely Gwen Cooper and Bob Holland will all be there to add their special talents to the fun and music. Membership Cards Not Needed For this occasion, the Union has put aside their customary member- ship requirement, so that no one need show a membership card in order to buy a ticket. The tickets are priced at $1.25. This dance, like the regular Union dances, will be informal. The staff of the Union has an- nounced that its main purpose inI planning this dance, other than tol give a fitting sgnd-off to vacation, is to give Season's greetings to Ann Arbor residents in the form of music by Bill Sawyer and his orchestra. Patrons Are Named Up to now the people of Ann, Arbor and vicinity have only had the opportunity of listening to the music over the radio, and have not, because of the lack of membership cards, been able to attend the dances. Patrons and patronesses who have been invited to chaperon the dance are Prof. and Mrs. Bennet Weaver, Dr. and Mrs. George R. Moore, Mr. and Mrs. Clifton Dey, 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. Dorothy Ketc Aid, By RHODA LESHINE In a tour of the University Hospital, conducted by Dorothy Ketcham, di- rector of the Social Service depart- ment, thistobserver paused in reflec- tion on the ninth floor where thej occupational therapy headquarters are located. This is the place where the occu- pational therapist aids the patient in adjustment to his new environment, by weaving together the threads of his life into a satisfactory pattern. The occupational program is carried out under medical supervision, ex- plained Miss Ketcham. "Occupational therapy," she com- mented, "is primarily concerned with the vocational and occupational in- terests of both the young and old patients. It involves the philosophy of using all the capacities of the in- dividual." Playrooms, schoolrooms, libraries and recreational rooms compose part of the equipment with which the oc- cupational therapist at the Univer- sity Hospital works, she stated. Foremost among the qualifications of a physical therapist, said Miss Ketcham, is that of stability-as well as a sincere liking for people. She pointed out that "a college educa- tion is encouraged as a pre-requisite for occupational therapy because the woman graduate has a broad grasp and the basic equipment necessary for success in this field." "The American Occupational The- rapy Association, which sets the standards for the profession, strongly recommends added study in a train- ing school of occupational therapy, Miss Ketcham added. There are several schools in the country, she related, where courses are given in crafts, anatomy, design, metal work, etc., which meet the de- mands of the profession. "State re- quirements must be met because pub- lic funds are being used in many of the hospitals," she disclosed. "In the teaching division," she mentioned, "there may be specialized fields." While examining the school rooms, she pointed out that they are used for the children who are able to come on their boards or in their wheel chairs for short periods of in- struction. Each student continues his lessons from the point where he left off be- fore entering the hospital, she said. "We attempt to reduce the difficul- ties and-reach attainments as far as we are able." Miss Ketcham emphasized the need for the occupational therapist to bridge the gap of time, that the pa- tient must spend in the instiution, with the normal experiences which he will again encounter on the out- side. "Most of the patients," she remarked, "will return to school or to work within a year." Enthused about the work accomp- lished through Galen Funds derived ro ;1the annual drive that was held w .o w eek1s ago on campous, Miss Ket- chami eagerly indicated that the shop rooms and library are main- tained by these proceeds. She ex- plained that it is in these rooms .that the occupational therapist is able to constructively teach new vocations and avocations adapted to the indi- vidual patient.

Cold Weather Causes Hardiest To Don Hats, Caps, Kerchiefs .... 7 17111 IIH I illi. Since that little drop of mercury insists tpon hovering consistently below freezing, even the hardiest are putting their heads under cover, in the shape of either hats, close-fit- ting caps, or kerchiefs. Kerchiefs rate high in popularity, but the knack of wearing them without looking like a refugee from the steerage presents a real problem. I Peasant-style kerchiefs are the ones most frequently seen. They look gay and pert if a girl lets her pompadour and a few side-curls peek out. It is when every hair is tucked out of sight that that steerage look appears. Scarves may vary from big flowered squares to plain colored tri- angles. The advantage of the square is that when tied, one corner rests on your top-curls. In case of rain or snow this can be pulled up to protect them more completely, but the tips of the curls will still show to flatter face contours. Some girls can wear their scarves turban-style with all their hair un- derneath. The effect is stunning and can be enhanced by earrings if the turban is worn with a date-dress or an evening dress. Hollywood says you have to be a Crawford or Joan Bennett type to carry this off suc- cessfully. In that case, there are stars among the campus women, for Sociological Group To Hold Convention Four members of the Sociological Department of the University will attend the American Sociological So- ciety convention to be held in Chi- cago during the Christmas holidays. Professor Richard C. Fuller has been appointed chairman of the Sec- tion on Sociological Theory and So- cial Problems. Professor Robert C. Angell will also be present at the convention. Mr. Amos Hawley plans to present a paper on the general topic of eco- logy, while Mr. Richard R. Myers will also present a paper to the con- vention on the "Natural History of Social Problems." NI wanc Lonave an air of mystery about them. Chiffon that falls softly about the face then extends on down to waist or even knee length can be worn gracefully by slender women, tall or short. The last word is inevitably, but in- evitably about neatness. Pressed scarves look so much nicer than those that have weathered rain, snow, and trips stuffed into pockets with no] subsequent beauty aid from the iron. - - - - -- - -\' ~ ,' '7 \' N~ > N a number of beautifully-worn tur- bans have been seen.
