Here we have twins, one for daytime and the other for evening, both
in a simple, summer style. Tiered skirts, especially flowered glazed
chintz ones, have just come upon us this spring. The design is intended
to glamorize a slim waistline, with its tight bodice and billowing skirt.
The total effect should be one of coolness and crispness, such as we all
hope to attain, even during the sizzling season.

Summerhays
Wins Own Car
In Ball Lottery
Coincidence bordering on incredul-
ity marked the activity of the Senior
Ball committee over the weekend as
Bob Summerhays, '42E, was named
winner of his own car in the much
publicized Ball lottery held Saturday
night.
Having offered the use of the car
for the night of the Ball, Friday,
May 29, Summerhays was quite per-
turbed to win himself, and immedi-
ately put the car up for redrawing.
Wins Three Drawings
Three drawings in a row all select-
ed him as the winner, however, and
it was finally -greed that every
chance had been given other ticket
holders.
"I hadn't thought about driving
the car to the dance myself," Sum-
merhays admitted, "but if I can get it
running I guess maybe Ill try it. I
just hope it doesn't rain, because if
the car had a roof I'm sure it would
leak."
Originally to have been announced
in Sunday morning's Daily, the re-
sults of the grand lottery were held
up by late returns from outlying pre-
cincts, Ball Chairman Tom Williams,
'42E, disclosed, and were not avail-
able until after press time.
Gum Tires Missing
Still missing are three tires off the
"car", stolen early last week and held
for ransom by a party or parties
unknown. Revealing that the tires
are made not of rubber but of used
chewing gum, Summerhays said he
has every confidence that the tires
will be returned.
Small pieces of bubble gum washed
up on the banks of the Huron River
yesterday, however, raised the possi-
bility that at least one of the missing
tires had been destroyed. The Juicy
Fruit and Dentyne tires were re-
covered last week, but the Spear-
mint, Pepsin and Bubble gum tires
haven't been located as yet.
Drama season
Actors' Dogs
Describe Life
By BERYL SHOENFIELD
What kind of a life does an actor's
cog lead?
A tough one.
The answer is supplied by two ex-
otic animals belonging to members
of the "No Time for Comedy" cast,
the S. N. Behrman farce which
opened last night as the 1942 Dra-a
matic Season's initial offering.
The one is star Francis Lederer's
"Ahmed," a lean, buff-colored Af-
ghan hound, representative of a
3,000-year-old Egyptian breed. The'
dark nose and eyes against the light,Q
silky coat, the slender tail that curls i
at the tip, and the really smooth
tuck-up make him delightfully con-l
The other is a jet French poodle
Petites Pommes de Terre
We have learned one thing from the last week which was taken up al-
most entirely by May Festival, and that is, of course, how to go to a May
Festival. The whole thing isn't quite as elementary as it would seem to the
uninitiated May Festivaler; you don't just put on your hat and grab a box
of matches with which to refer to your program in the middle of a number.
May Festival and, ewe suppose, related concerts of the same sort, have built
up around themselves a whole system of etiquette and protocol to which all
must adhere or take the chance of a glove slap across the kisser.
This, then, will be a sort of brochure of instructions to all who plan to
attend the event next year-handy even for those who have read Deems
Taylor and invaluable for the plebeians who haven't had Music 41. (Sendj
coupon for our free illustrated booklet.)
In the first place, be practical. Have a large elbow spike made up with
a husky steel point and use it lavishly. You will probably be sitting next to
someone who is inflicted with what we affectionately term the Creeping
Forearm Complex, and he will begin immediately, on the first number, to
work his horrible, insidious method. This consists of quietly edging his arm
up on the armrest between the chairs until you are sitting in your seat with
your shoulders forward and your hands sort of dangling down and you feel-;
ing like the "before" pictures in the "Vito-Malt Will Build Up Your Spark-.
Plugs" advertisement.
Give him a good lusty jab accompanied by a charming smile, and
both of you should come to an understanding quite early in the evening.
He's probably a Daily editor, there on a comp., anyway, so you need't have
any pangs about the action you may take.
Next, before you even decide, finally, that you will go to the series, get
your hands on a complete listing of the programs. This is the most vital
necessity of all. You see, at concerts there are intermissions, and at inter-
missions everyone expects you to make some exceedingly astute remarks,
and you must have at least one of these remarks on hand for each composer.
Some excellent examples which you may put down in your notebook as
a start for your collection are: "Tschaikowsky? Pooh! (Interpolations here
consist of heavy exhaling of breath and a lifted eyebrow) "-Oh, Tschai-
kowsky's lousy with themes but he never develops any of them!" Or: "Yes,
Wagner is rather nice-" (Here, a Let-Me-Pat-You-On-The-Head-My-
Little-Idiot-Sister smile) "-early in one's musical consciousness one is quite
fond of him." Or, "It's hard to imagine that Beethoven wrote that divine
music when he was deaf, isn't it?".(Biting the lip and dabbing at the eye-
balls.) Those will give you your basic foundation; go on to bigger and better
things from here-and if you get a really good one on Bach, send it to us.
Finally, when you get to the concert and the music begins don't listen too
carefully to the orchestra. Keep one ear fixed, as it were, on what goes on
around you, and the moment you hear the slightest whisper or cough, turn
to the cad and hiss, "Shhhhhhh!" If he's two rows behind you, so much the
better; it will show the extent of your disapproval. And that's just about
all there is to going to a concert.

n Sing Contest
Despite the threatening black
clouds yesterday, there wasn't a drop
of rain to dampen the crowd of some
250 people, who, seated on the hills
at the end of Palmer Field, saw a
group of women from Martha Cook
Building, singing "Oh, Dear, What
Can the Matter Be," win the travel-
ing Lantern Night Sing Cup.
Nancy Filstrup, '43, president of the
-WAA, who presented the cup, an-
nounced Kappa Kappa Gamma, sing-
ing "The Green Cathedral," place
winners and Alpha Chi Omega, "Al-
pha Chi, in third place.
Also, a feature of the Sing was the
awarding by Dr. Margaret Bell, of
the WAA Participation Cup to Alpha
Delta Pi, with 100 per cent participa-
tion and 168 points.
Gamma Phi Beta, with 81 per cent
participation and 138 points, was an-
nounced as runner-up for the cup.
Pi Beta Phi and Kappa Alpha Theta
tied for the third place, each with
133 points. Alpha Chi Omega was
commended, also, for having 100 per
cent participation in the past year.
Clad in caps and gowns, and carry-
ing lanterns, the women of the Class
of '42, flanked on either side by un-
derclassmen, marched' behind 'the
University Band to Palmer Field,
where the affair was staged. On the
field, the groi* formed a huge "M".
Graduation garb
Found To Have
Long Tradition
By BETTY ROSA
Whether you realize it or not, the
gowns and hoods worn by the grad-
uating seniors, faculty members and
trustees play a very important part
in making commencement such an
impressive occasion.
Academic costumes, *which is the
"technical" name applied to the com-
plete outfit of gown, hood and cap,
have been in use in American col-
leges and universities since colonial
times when they were brought over
along with Oxford and Cambridge
customs.
In England, gowns and hoods were
considered ecclesiastical rather than
academic costumes as they were
worn by the clergy for warmth in
the cold churches. The hood was a
carry-over from the friar's costume.
The monks put the alms they re-
ceived into their tippet-hoods, which
were enlarged to provide head cover-
ing or to serve as a cape.
When British universities passed
from ecclesiastical control, the gowns
became brighter and hoods were
chosen as the articles to distinguish
the various degrees and the institu-
tions from which they were granted.
Academic costumes became so
confusing that in 1893 an intercol-
legiate commission was set up to
formulate a definite system of cos-
tumes to be observed in all colleges.
The designer got around the problem
of combining two colors by using a
heraldic chevron in one color and
making the field of the hood the
other color, as in Michigan's maize
field and azure-blue chevron.

Factories are making it hard for
women to avoid getting a job nowa-
days. Bomber plants have hired from
1,500 to 3,000 women in the past six
months to replace the men called
into the service.
There are many jobs to be had in
aircraft factories, but the most im-
portant on the assembly line,
are the ones that require the
dexterous, nimble hands that most
women possess. An example of this
type of work is the job of doing deli-
cate wiring operations on electric
motors, and the setting and adjust-
ing of electric switches which are so
fine that the work has to be done
under a microscope.
Jobs For All!
If you happen to have poor eye-
sight, and consequently cannot do
minded, or have a mathematical
mind, you can easily obtain an office
position. Personnel specialists who
can take over jobs as personnel di-
rector, employment managers, and
training directors are in demand.
These positions offer a good chance
of promotion, and many women' have
done outstanding work in this field,
which once belonged strictly to the
males.
Secretaries Are Needed
No longer will graduates of busi-
ness schools wait long months for
jobs as secretaries, accountants, tab-
ulators and receptionists, for the air-
craft plants offer good paying posi-
tions for them. Every executive must
have a secretary to see that he gets
to appointments on time, and doesn't
forget such things as his wedding
anniversary. It's the secretary's job
to keep the office running smoothly,
come rain or shine,
There are also positions available
as draftsmen or blueprint filing,
clerks, but there is some doubt as to
whether these jobs will continue
after the war.

First-Nighters'
Attend Dramatic
Season Opening
The buzzer sounded for first cur-
tain, the first-nighters took their
places, and the curtain rose on the
first act of "No Time For Comedy,"
which opened last night at the Lydia
Mendelssohn Theatre and played to
a near-capacity house.
Despite the threat of rain, those
attending donned their best "bib and
tucker" and came prepared for an
enjoyable evening. Dinner dresses
were the order of the day, and these
were seen in many and varied hues.
One gracious lady wore a gown which
combined a white background with a
printed lilac theme. Another dinner
dress was white trimmed with red
buttons and epaulets.
Several Ann Arborites planned din-
ners and parties preceding the show.
Included in this group were Mr. and
Mrs Francis La Pointe.
Mrs. P. B. Canfield, Mrs. Evans
Holbrook, Mrs. J. J. Walser, Mrs.
Leona B. Diekema, and Mrs. Howard
Holmes attended in a party. Mrs.
Clare E. Griffen was seen at the
play with her daughter.
Perennial first-nighters, Prof. and
Mrs. C. E. Koella, were present. Prof.
and Mrs. Fielding Yost. prefectly
groomed in formal attire, took their
place to await the opening scene.
The student body was not well
represented, undoubtedly due to the
fact that May 20 is mighty close,
which in other words means finals.
However, those among the notable,
who did brave the threat of grades,
were Jane Baits, '42, and Bob Shedd,
'42.
Prof. Carl Brandt anc his sister,
Miss Margaret Brandt helped to rep-
resent the faculty, in addition to Prof.
and Mrs. James Pollock and Prof.
and Mrs. Wilber Humphreys.
Book Plates Traded
Then too, women who can "sew a
fine seam" are needed to make up-
holstery for plane seats. There's a
job for every type of woman in these
new factories. For example, if you
are interested in food and nutrition,
you can get a job as a dietitian in an
airplane factory to keep the workers
well fed.

Ahmed and "Golly" agree that
traveling the road with the popular
actors is no bed of roses.
Each jaunt means jogging along
uncomfortably in the baggage car.
Each stop means being leashed to
foreign radiators or door knobs or
table legs for endless hours while
the boss rehearses. Each show means
new, people to become acquainted
with, more patting to tolerate.

curling up by the radiator next to
