AwardI Petitions To Be Accepted Beginning Today Petitioning for the three $100 Eth- el McCormick scholarships, awarded each year to outstanding junior wo- men, will begin today and continue through noon Saturday in the Under- graduate Office of the League, where petition blanks may be obtained. The Executive Council of the League Council will interview those petition- ing Thursday, March 12. The scholarships will be granted on the basis of ability and leadership as exemplified by participation in the women's activities under the merit system, character, scholarship and need. The McCormick scholarship fund' is supported by the student activities of the League with each class pro- ject contributing a large percentage of its earnings to this fund. In addi, tion to the questions asked each peti- tioner on the application blank, two letters of recommendation concern- ing the applicant's life and character are requested. Each applicant is asked on her ap- plication blank for information about any honors or awards received previ- ously, her extracurricular activities and how her years in school have been financed. Each woman must also write a brief statement regarding her plans for the future and what kind of work she wishes to do after the completion of her college course. The winners of the scholarships last year were Rosebud Scott, Lois Gish and Elizabeth Ann Walker. Curtailments Are Necessary In All Fields By BETTY HARVEY Total warfare today is exactly what the words imply-no longer does the man at the front do all the necessary and important work. For every sol- dier in action there are ten people behind him supplying him with things from guns to butter. The national economy is construc- ted so that the natural slack of re- sources can not all be utilized or put into action. Guns and butter can come from no one but the consumer. The consumer can fight the Axis as effectively as the man at the front by cooperating with the economists willingly and cheerfully. Pinch Hurts The public has already felt the pinch of curtailments in the tire and automobile supply of the country. In smaller articles, however, the pinch does not yet hurt; but rumors of fu- ture shortages have sent (onsumers, women especially, to the nearest gro- cer or department store to buy up a good supply "just in case." Curtailments are a necessary part; of winning the war and the hoarding of those articles curtailed, impedes1 the flow of goods, already distributed by the shift of goods to war purposes. Substitutes Are In Lisle stockings are fast becoming an accepted substitute for silk in every woman's wardrobe. The woman of today is an ingenious person and will undoubtedly find adequate sub- stitutes for every curtailed product. Leather boots for rubber, solid colors for prints (dyes are vital for their chemicals), and pearls and shell jew- elry for metal. Well, a comforting thought in look- Yes, we know that slacks are pretty much taboo for general campus wear, but there are lots and lots of times when they do come in handy around the dorm or the sorority house, or for that matter on the spring picnics and walks which will come thick and fast ere long. The slacks pictured here are of the strictly man-tailored type, with knife press and narrow cuffs. The plaid shirt is just as strictly tailored except for the slightly full long sleeve. It adds a color contrast to the quiet browns, navy blues, or grays in which this slack outfit may be found. Just in case you want something a little less tailored and a little less sombre in color, thre's a rayon fab- ric made up into smoth, cuffless slacks with a jerkin of matching color and material. It has deep patch pockets and can be worn with your favorite skirts too. If you're the definitely daring type, there's a new outfit of tapered plaid wool trousers, to be worn with a "sloppy sweater" or a tailored blouse. Or how about a complete slack suit in gray menswear flannel? Petitioning For WAA Positions Will End Petitioning for positions on execu-' tive board of WAA will continue until 5 p.m. tomorrow, at which time all petitions must be turned in to the desk of the Women's Athletic Building. They may be obtained at the desk of the. W.A.B. in the office of Barbour Gymnasium, or on the WAA bulletin board of the Under- graduate Office of the League. Interviewing will be held from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Thursday, 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Friday, and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at the W.A.B. Stomp' Offers Novel Prizes Defense Stamp Holders To Get Local Merchants' Contribution For the few scattered men who feel that beautiful women aren't attrac- tion enough for the "Defense Stomp" -3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Thursday in the League Ballroom-and vice ver- sa, the elaborate door prizes to be offered will make it practically im- possible .for anyone to stay away. The local merchants have really been more than generous with dona- tions for this affair. For the women there will be perfume, linen hand- kerchiefs and much "prioritized stockings coming from campus shops. Prizes Offered And for the men who hold that charm, grace and even patriotism couldn't bring them to a tea dance, the committee is offering wallets, Argyle socks, ties, shirts and other essentials contributed by the better local men's stores. "All you have to do," Bud Cox, '42, general chairman, said, "is dance with the right person." In an at- tempt to clarify his rather obscure statement, we'll go through this "right person" process again-most intricate process to say the least. Get Right Partner Upon entering the ballroom, each person receives a sealed envelope- one color for the women and another for the men. Inside of some of them are defense stamps. Whenannounce- ment is made (~half-way through the afternoon) to open the envelopes, the man dancing with the woman holding a defense stamp receives a door prize and the same applies to the woman dancing with the man holding a stamp. In other words, let your intuition guide you to the right person and while following its guidance you have a good opportunity to become ac- quainted. There will be approxi- mately 30 hostesses to help keep things rolling. Besides, patriotism is all the thing nowadays and you will be making a definite contribution to national de- fense by simply attending. Gordon Hardy, '42SM, and his new ten-piece band will furnish the music. Society Members To Sell Carnations Senior Society members will sell white carnations in the League and in the various dormitories to those planning to attend Assembly Ball this Friday. Women may obtain the flowers at the League desk, where they may also obtain tickets to the dance. Resi- dents of Mosher Hall may get theirs from Jean Hubbard, '42, who is also in the dormitory; those in Jordan Hall may obtain them from Betty Partenfelder, '42; those in Martha Cook from Elizabeth Luckham, '42; those in Betsy Barbour from Doro- thy Anderson and those in Helen Newberry from Peg Sanford. Ann Arbor Independents can be supplied by Jean Krise or Doris Cuthbert. Daily tryouts for the women's staff are reminded t there will be a meeting at 3:30 p.m. today in the Publications Building. Petites Pommes de Terre The Love Is A Beautiful Thing department is taken up this week with "Pay Off," a charming institution of one-year standing which we are told is a tradition. This dance is expressly designed to help the females pay off their J-Hop dates; it seems like a rather commercial proposition, but we are told that this is not the case-it is a beautiful thought. At any rate, the dance is characterized by the absence of J-Hop dates-it's all right to go to J-Hop with just any old burlap sack-people understand. Couples who were paying off and being paid off, respectively, included Hilda Johnson and Tommy Booth, Barbara Jenswold and Don Folkman, Joey McGrath and Fred Marble, Sally Walsh and C. Freeman Alexander, Sue Wood and Pete Hogg, Conny McLeary and Dale Chamberlain, Jean Whittemore and Bruce Renaud, Janet Veenboer and Bob Bartlett. Charlotte Conover and Reynold Kraft, Lois Fromm and Hugh Ayers, Betty Lou Duval and Frank Powers, Jean Cordell and Elmer Hitt, Jane Kelsey and Bob Mantho, Joan Reutter and Dave El- E-dridge, Jean Mills and Bud Cox, and Louise Keatley w +~~ and Whitey Fraumann. U t onfusion . ,.. The Department of Utter Confusion-you may have noticed, incidentally, that the only way we can get a New Yorkerish tinge to this whole business is to just lift their stuff and superimpose it-however the aforementioned department is occupied this week with the newly-formed syndicate of Sapp and Gel6. Both are on The Daily, and we know it's against the rules to give publicity to the Publications Building or its settlers, so henceforth these two people shall remain nameless, except as Sapp and Gele. Well, this apartment has in it these two boys. It also has in it two square feet of space, one small stove, one small icebox, a Modern Library Giant Edition of Ulysses, well-blackened on the edges in certain specified parts-or "parts," and two cots, necessarily in a partly vertical position. The whole thing is typical and sort of funny in itself, but the culmina- tion of a certain amount of annoyance caused by the cramped quarters came the other night when Geld-he of the Mississippi Gel6s-dragged out an old Southern remedy for a cough he was developing in the form of a Spanish onion and something which shall remain nameless except as a cough syrup. After preliminary attacks of asphyxia, Sapp gagged a bit, gave up trying to study his Poly Sci and flunked the quiz the next day. It isn't that either of them are sensitive about it or anything, but mentioning the scene which followed-on which we shall draw a merciful curtain-to Gele, especially, is sort of like asking Goering about the winter sports at Moscow. Developments O Slide Rule ball IT Plans Shrouded In Deep Secrecy The presence of two bona fide cigarette girls at this year's Slide Rule Ball, to be held Friday, March 27, in the Union Ballroom, was indi- cated yesterday when the news leaked out following a secret meeting of Ball committee members. A usually reliable source divulged the information that the girls would be "appropriately attired," and would dispense defense stamps as well as the usual cigarettes, cigars, chew- ing gum and other wares. ' Secrecy shrouded other develop-, ments of the meeting, but it was hint- ed that further revelations may be expected daily, and that startling publicity stunts will soon be the rule rather than the exception in the en- gineering college. Abandoned because of insufficient methods to carry it out was a sure- fire plan to release several thousand balloons, every fiftieth one to carry a complimentary ticket to the Slide Rule Ball. Chairman of the ball this year is Burr J. French, '42E, editor-in-chief of The Michigan Technic, engineer- ing college publication sponsoring the dance. Freeman Alexander, '43E, Technic circulation manager, is chair- man of the publicity committee. ,,,,.

The Coke Bar will continue to draw on its reserve of gingerale in lieu of cokes, but will serve coffee and cookies as usual.
