NOVEMBER 1T, 1941 _______ _1_CIT TH -IUGAN ~AII F: .... . Spanish Tea . Foir Students To e Tuesday Forty South Americans To Be Guests At International Affair; Dean Alice Lloyd Is Sponsor Under the supervision of Mrs. Ruth L. Wendt, language adviser, and the sponsorship of Dean Alice Lloyd, a Spanish tea will be given from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday in the Grand1 Rapids Room of the League. The purpose of this tear and of all other international teas given dur- ing the year, is to get American stu-. dents in contact with foreign stu- dents and to help them learn about foreign countries. To this end, about 40 South Americans will be invited as guests, and the students will be in charge of receiving them, thus learning to meet people in a foreign tongue, and doing their bit toward promoting the s'good neighbor" pol- icy. Mrs. Wendt pointed out that fluent students and beginners, are never placed together and said that stu- dents will "simply be allowed to speak and will not be corrected." She stressed ,that the teas are for "every- body interested in a better command- ment of a foreign language." Teas Part Of Program The teas are a part o Mrs. Wendt's program to help students in foreign languages become more proficient in speaking their chosen tongue. The rest pf the project consists of lan- guige tables in all women's dormi- tories on the campus except Martha Cook. Mrs. Wendt began with six tables in February, 1940, and has made them so popular that they have since increased to 30. Students in each dormitory or flu- ent'dutsiders, some of them refugees, preside over the tables whose mem- bersare chosen according to their ability to speak and comprehend the Prench, German, or Spanish-which- ever is being spoken. Has Summer Sehedue Mrs. Wendt carries her program through the summer, not only as language adviser to American stu- dents, but a interpreter to the many foreign students who attend Michi- gan then. Last summer she had the interesting experience of taking 50 South American students, of whom only ten percent could speak English, under her wing. She relates that the first thing they learned was what 8 o'clock sharp meant (nobody from South America ever bothers with time), and they were also much struck with the hon- esty, discipline, kindness of America and the fact that Ann Arbor ,was "not at al Hollywood." At present Mrs. Wendt gives indi- vidualized assistance to 250 women every week, as well as directing all of the international teas., ii ________f Torso Dress Is News Coumn i,t Ibi.JANd Elbow Length, Spiwl Mittens Four Schools Will Hold Senior Class Officer Election Tuesday UY onune romrae lILatest Ting the forestry school are Carl Langen- Zipple are the dandidates for presi- Our bouquet of the week goes over Do your fingers feel like icicles bach and Al Yorman and for vice e Ma pr idnt Al erHy the footlights to the too little publi-ar dripping off your hands when you are pres arn e How ar and alph Snyder for secretary, and zize stden plyer'cftAnAr on your way to an early morning James Vlardman.

It's a style-or line, if you please- or even a trend, if you prefer that phraseology. But however you refer to it, there's no doubt that the long torso is dominating the field of wo- men's wear, today. The gown pictured above is just about as smooth an illustration of the long torso in a dress as you can find anywhere. The bodice is character- istically sleek and tight fitting and its lines sweeps down gracefully to where they break low on the hip. Just above the flare of the skirt, the material is gathered evenly into cartridge pleats whose precise new- ness accentuate the lower waistline. Most interesting in detail as ,well as in line, the bodice is circled from neck to hip by rows of elaborately designed braid and is buttoned down the front with self-covered buttons.. A tiny turn-over collar and sleeves whose newness is guaranteed by their suggestion of the dolman at the shoulder and their loose fit through the length, finish a dress that will not only give youi torso a long look, but will also give it a well-dressed look. .hid -for, the funniest drunk scenej een in a long long time as well as i sympathetic performance in the uvenile lead.

They are usually quite short but there are, wristlets to wearhunderneathethem which are effective for keeping snow; and wind on the outside. Everyone likes to don sleek white kid gloves for formal wear but they are better looking than they are practical. Soft angora mittens have both qualities and come in all shades to match or blend with your formal or coat. Velvet mittens with knitted wool linings are also stunning.
