These five groups are the women's dormitories, the Ann Arbor Inde, pendents, the League Houses, Beta Kappa Rho, m~ade up of wo- men working and attending school! and the cooperative mouses on cam- pus. Committees of Senior Society members have been appointed to plan the programs for these groups and all of the nembers will partici- pate in them. Programs Present Activities The programs will present to the individual groups the kinds of activi- ties open to independent women onf camnpus. They will also show to some extent the averages of the different houses and dormitories as to the amount of their participation, and the activities in which they took part. Five committees, made up of three women each, have been delegated to plan the events. The dormitory committee consists of Peggy San- ford, Jean Hubbard and Emilie Root; the Beta Kappa Rho committee of Mary Virginia Mitchell, Rosebud; Scott and Donna Baisch; and the League House group, of Betty Walk- er, Elizabeth Luckham, and Pearl Brown. Know yourself! There's a scribe cc -n our midst who claims that person- ality always shows up (and we do mean up) in the hair. It's not only that you're definitely blonde, brun- ette, or red-head, or definitely not any definite head, but it's the way you wear that crop of curls. For instance, if you've had that same long bob with a kick curl over the forehead for the last 10 years youj might as well know that you're noth- ing but a dyed-in-the-wool conserva- tive. Ninety per cent of all college girls are in this category. However, the brave souls who have attained positions as campus style leaders have set the pace for newf coiffures. fc cv pc th sc m m C: sp to bh SBy MARGARET AVR BYo MARh a RteTaeY o Chinese dollars to Chinese relief!

To Be Costumed You will attend the first formal dance of the season, and move among dancing Chinese couples wearing au- thentio costume, in an atmosphere created by oriental decorations. You may win a door prize, and you will surely receive a program favor de- signed with oriental characters. Miss Lynne-Lee Shew, Chinese fashion authority from Chicago will arrange the fashion floor show to be given during the intermission. Fash- ions from the Ching dynasty to pres- ent times will be included with models from campus parading authentic cos- tumes. Scarf Dancer Featured Rith Ann Koe, a scarf dancer from Chicago, will offer interpretations of the Chinese ballet, in elaborate cos- tume. That is a glimpse at the home re- lief aspect. But the heart of it all, the situation which is really dependent upon campus cooperation to the ut- most, is over in China where one $2.00 ticket buys fifty Chinese dollars worth of food and lodging. Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Fulford of Ann Arbor announce the engagement of their daughter, Virginia Elaine, '41, to Floyd Duane Harrison, '42E. Miss Fulford is now teaching in Ovid, Michigan. Mr. HaIrison, son of Mr. and Mrs. William J. Harrison of Kalamazoo, is a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Mrs. Ruth Rouse of Escanba an- nounces the marriage of her daugh- ter, Elizabeth Guntley.

The topmost hat has a new irregu- larly shaped crown and its wearer can truly be said to be topped by flying colors with respect to the pert bow and trailing ribbons. Cut along "classic" lines, the hat on the lower left has appeal be cause of its unusual snap brim. The bright cluster of feathers at the back render it suitable and be- coming with almost any outfit. The more dressy hat on the right has an "off the face" tilt" yet its turned down brim gives it smar.- ness. The wide velvet bow and flowing veil add a touch of fem- ininity. Hats in general-and here's proof-trend toward conservative- ness this year, much to the delight of our masculine friends, and yet are subtly' smart without being ec- centric. wind do the combing is all the care that's required.

Co-ops To Haye Program The program for the Ann Arbor Independents will be handled by Jean Krise, Doris Cuthbert and Rho- da Leshine, while Dorothy Anderson, JPeggy Polumbaum and Mildred Cur- tis will plan for the cooperative houses. The activities demonstrated to the independent women will in- clude publications, athletics, League work and individual house activities. The airn of the entire Independent Fortnight is to interest the unaffili- ated women on campus in the activi- ties offered during their college life, and to increase attendance at the Assembly Banquet, which is the first big event of the independent year and which also concludes the Fort-, night programs. Senior Society Taps Sometime during the banquet, Senior Society will tap five new members to add to its present ranks. The members wear caps and gowns during the ceremony and the follow- ing day, new members will be seen on campus wearing the traditional white collar and blue ribbon. Assembly and Senior Society plans for the coming year were also an- nounced by Miss Scott after a recent meeting of the officers. The annual Come Across Dance will be held the week-end before Christmas vacation and will be, as usual,. an informal affair. The honor society members will also be entertained by Dean Alice Lloyd, Nov. 17. Conference Is Planned' Plans for a conference of inde- pendent women from the Big Ten universities, are also being made. Problems of independent activities and organizations will be the center of discussion. There will be women attending from' Purdue, Ohio State, Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, Chicago, and also Wayne University and Michigan State College. The tenta- tive dates set for the conference are either January or the early part of March. Qood Marks Can Earn Qirls, Good Money In case some lucky woman has an A entrenched in the B's on her blue print, we have an idea. How would you like to make that A earn some money for you? All's you have to do is take a fel- low student, who seems to be having a difficult time with your pet subject, in hand and for 25 cents an hour see that she doesn't flunk exams. It makes you feel important (not that you're not), provides a couple extra cokes and in the scholastic vein, it keeps the subject fresh in your mind when it could so easily suc- cumb in deference to one you're tak- ing now. All of which sounls even better now that. it's in black and white. Well, all interested-and you really should be because any minute now thrughout the year. The classes will begin Oct. 14 and will continue each Tuesday evening with the beginners meeting at 7:30 p.m. and the inter- mediates at 8:30 p.m. in the League Ballroom. Miss Ethel McCormick, social direc- tor of the League, and Miss Barbara Maclntyre, assistant social director, will be the instructors and will teach the fox-trot, waltz, conga and rhum- ba according to the ability and pro- gress of the group. Three dollars will be charged for the series of eight lessons. Any girl interested in working on this committee is urged to attend this meeting, Miss Johnson said, and those present must have their eligibility cards. In case of inability to attend, call Miss Johnson, 4441. Appointment Made Announcement has been made of the appointment of Kay Jones, '43, as assistant costume chairman of the Theater Arts Committee. .. Designers Find Inspiration For Fashion In History, Newspapers And Vacations, <. SHORT HAND A NECESSARY PART OF YOUR EDUCATION - For fuller lecture notes. " For part time and summer employment. " For 'more certain employment after graduation. " For congenial defense work in the army or industry. Hamilton Busines ollege 27th year William at State There's nothing new under the sun I -at least not in so far as basic fash- ion trends are concerned. In fact, it seems to us that fashion designers, the leading couturiers and milliners, are practically the world's worst plagarists. The source of a designer's inspira- tion is rarely his own brain. His ideas are mostly adapted from the fashionsl of other peroids or other countries, with the addition of such definitely modern touches as the zipper and the use of synthetic fabrics. Is History Student How does the average designer go about getting his ideas, then? First of all, he is probably a keen student of the history of costume; he knows all about women, at least what they have worn, from Elizabeth's farth- ingale to Alexandra's bustle. And when he is devoid of ideas just like a night editor who is told to con- tribute a feature, he simply pulls a sleeve here and a neckline there out of the pile of outmoded styles rele- gated to moldy attic trunks or musty museums, uses them in a new com- bination suitable for the modern fe- male, and there he has an original (?) creation. - Tires Of Frills Tired of frills and furbelows, some smart person becomes a big-wig in ,the kaleidoscopic world of fashion by simply reverting to the classic, simple lines of the Greeks, to convince sus- ceptible women that they could be statuesque Junos in softly draped chiffon. Or another couturier gets himself and his creations plastered all over the fashion magazines by appealing to our romantic natures with hoop- skirted, hand-spanned waisted, bil- lowing formals in which to glide around the dance floor with Victorian dignity. Capitalize On Calamity Capitalizing on the war and other news of interest, designers are con- stantly introducing peasant touchesE garnered from the authentic costume of the particular tiny country that suddenly is thrown in the limelight by Hitler's latest conquest. The Nazis took over Austria, so' what happened? No more Salzburg festivals, no more winter sports cen- ted in the Tyrol after the Anschluss. So we brought the Tyrol to us with the help of Lanz and the ski experts,' and we wore beflowered skirts and embroidered blouses until the world's attention became focused on some other spot.} Mrs. Simpson Inspires1 ican woman to they spent their va- cations on South American cruises -and returned home full of ideas from Spanish mantillas of beguiling black lace to Mexican huaraches for the college girl to slop around in. Chinese Suggest Housecats Chinese houseboy coats of rich silk and richer embroidery, Dutch girl caps, broomstick skirts from the In- dians of New Mexico, and harem skirts from Turkey are all from the pretty fertile grab-bag designers.like to dip into. Shades of a by-gone era are the fashions of the forties: Bustles, bas- ques and leg-o'-mutton sleeves from our grandmothers, while we're bor- rowing tunics, ostrich plumes and peg-tops from our mothers. Then there's the sheath-like silhouette of the mad twenties, only now the un- flattering line is alleviated by a beltI to show where the waistline is. Hide your hair under a cloche, the best-loved hat of the women who in- vaded formerly exclusively masucline occupations in search of careens fol- lowing the war and women's suffrage -that's what stores and magazines are telling us now. Yea Npt rKnnx I .ou iever now One never really knows what to ex- pect when Hattie Carnegie, Sophie Gimbel, Mainbocher, or some other supposedly creative couturier exhibtis a new collection. It all depends on the headlines or on where the de- signer went on his vacation-I-on what fad, even going back to the Egypt of Cleopatra, he decides to revive and publicize!
