Bright Days
Bring Forth
Qay Clothing E
By JOAN WILK
NOW that Easter has arrived, beenj
enjoyed, and departed, women on
campus are really convinced that
"spring is here" and with it comes
the thought of cotton dresses. play-
suits and pinafores.
FROM all indications, and espe-I
cially the calendar, it won't be too
long before warm weather finally de-
cides to stay, and with that thought
in mind, Michigan coeds are setting
out to buy clothing which will be in
accord with the rise in the mer-
cury.
LOCAL shops are featuring crisp
cottons in delectable shades rang-
ing from a rich coral to a faint blush
pink, as well as other delightful
shades of the spectrum. Materials
are available in ballon cloth, cham-
bray, gingham and piqu6. These may
be found in either plain or figured
stuff, and some few fortunate lassies
have even been able to find clothing
made from elegant eyelet piqu.

At the beginning of the semester a
large group of coeds v luniecred to
set up pins at the alleys,. whih, are
open from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. every
wc kday. Pinsetters receive free
bowling privileges, hut apparently
cutdocr sports have become more in-
teresting with the advent of warm
weather. For the last few afternoons
only a few coeds have appeared to
set pins.
Miss Flint has decided that hence-
forth if the alleys are to be kept
open, anyone wishing to bowl must
set up their own pins, or bring some-
one along to do it. This particularly
applies to those women participating
in the WAA bowling tournament. All
games in the third round of the
tournament must be played this
week.

ANN ARBOR, MICH APRIL ££, 1945


THE 1945 AMERICAN
RED CROSS War Fund
drive ended with every lo-
cal quota filled and city
and county reports still not
completed. The special
group composed of dona-
tions from University Hos-
pital, army and navy per-
sonnel on campus and civ-
ilian students went over
the top with $7,679.98
which exceeds the quota of
$7,400. Members of the
University faculty and
other personnel contrib-
uted a total of $5,834.25
also over their quota. Re-
ports from the Union drive
indicate that campus men
contributed over $700. Of
the fraternities, Sigma Chi
contributed $37 to top the
Alph Tau Omega house
with $33. According to re-
ports incomplete as yet,
Ann Arbor's total stands
at $92,409, which is 116.8
per cent of their quota.
Washtenaw county dona-
tions reached the total of
$168,350 or 125.3 per cent
of the county quota.

THE UNIVERSITY IS IN THE "VALLEY OF DE-
CISION" and must now decide either to retire from the
world into an ivory tower or strike out as a "real uni-
versity devoted to the increase and spread of knowledge,"
President Alexander G. Ruthven said before the Lansing
Alumni Club. He pointed out that the task of adjust-
ment will be more difficult than that of conversion to
war.
It will not mean reconversion to the old, but adjust-
ment to the new. Regarding the future he said, "We and
the returning servicemen know only in a general way
the kind of world they want, but these things are cer-
tain: for better or worse it will be their world; in shaping
it they will encounter new conditions which while less
of a shock to them than to us, will nevertheless require
study.
Listing a four-point program for the achievement of
this goal, Dr. Ruthven said:
1. We must strive for a community of ideas-a general
appreciation of values.
2. We must get at this business at once in the only
way possible-through education; and by education, he
said, I do not mean merely vocational training, the ac-
quiring of job knowledge, but a liberal education. train-
ing in the ability to think.
3. We cannot be satisfied merely with preparing
youngsters for citizenship, but must try to educate adults,
including veterans.
4. We should not confine education work to the school-
room.
Dr. Ruthven emphasized the need for keeping clear the

B.S. from the College of
Engineering here in 1912,
and was active in most en-
gineering college organiza-
tions on campus. Dr. Ken-
nedy, chief surgeon at
Grace Hospital in Detroit,
received his M.D. here in
1913 and took and com-
bined lit-med course.
A DEFICIT OF NEARLY
2,000 JOBS in Ann Arbor
after the war, was pre-
dicted in the "Survey of
Post-War Job Opportun-
ities in Ain Arbor" made
by the members of Prof. A.
H. .Hawley's class in Quan-
titative Sociology. Al-
though a surplus in Ann
Arbor's non-manufacturing
industries is anticipated, it
will not be sufficient to ab-
sorb workers released from
both manufacturing indus-
tries and the armed serv-
ices, the survey states. Tak-
ing a twenty-five per cent
sample of the five repre-
sentative types of industry
located in this area, the
survey shows that employ-
