Today; Initiates To Wear Navy Blue ". ..Look out, worthy junior, we may tap you!", the song of Scroll Society, was heard after hours yes- terday as 20 senior women in caps and gowns made the rounds of sor- ority houses to tap 18 "worthy jun- iors" to be seen following their initia- tion at 7 a.m. today garbed in navy blue and wearing their new gold Scroll pendants, symbolic of their service to the University.

'' V 1 r - ' )rtAn a a I I i 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. Excellent Positions Are Offered WomenI n Neu ,Bomber Plant 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. 9 * Ue in . dRand 6fn.jementi Mr. Albert J.

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. "1 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. i At a meeting at 5 p.m. today in the such fine, close work, don't get dis- League an election of officers will be couraged.

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. 'WELL," sighed Golly, shaking the corded fringe out of his eyes and curling up by the radiator next to the stage door, "I've been at this four-and-one-half years, and I'm re- signed." But Ahmed, still a juvenile, thrust his pointed muzzle into the air and howled. -AS EVER-- IS THE PLACE TO BUY SHFET MUSIC Through the years Lyon & Healy has become the headquar- ters for sheet music of all kinds.
