Coed Bureau
Will Publicize
Campus Drives
Assembly Speakers' Bureau is the
campus organization of independent
coed speakers; which publicizes cam-
pus drives and events by means of di-
rect contact with coed houses or by
telephone.
Headed by Helen Alpert the Bu-
reau consists of twenty-five women
who visit all dormitories, cooperative
houses, auxiliary dorms, and larger
league houses, giving short talks or
skits concerning the function or drive
being publicized.
Any campus organization wish-
ing publicity through the Speakers'
Bureau may receive it by calling
Miss Alpert at 2-1347. The Bureau
must be given a week's notice for
publicity which entails the mem-
bers visiting coed houses. A two
day notice is the only requirement
for publicity for the Bureau's tele-
phone system.
The only condition laid down by
the Bureau in regard to the events
that it publicizes is that they be of
campus interest and of concern to a
large number of students or faculty.
Assembly Speakers' Bureau recent-
ly helped sponsor and publicize Red
Cross night and is now publicizing
Assembly-Panhel Ball.
Dr. Kenneth G. Hance of the
speech department is the advisor
of the group. He aids the speakers,
giving the- suggestions for effect-
ive speech presentations.

By LOIS KELSO
Women have always been interested
in trying to cover their legs with as
little as possible. Silk stockings, ac-
cording tolegend, first knit for Queen
Elizabeth, were at first opaque but
by 1940 two-thread stockings were
practically invisible. Some scientific
genius then invented nylon, and a
million women rose up and called him
blessed. They also rose up and
stormed any counter where these mir-
aculously sheer, yet durable, hose
could be bought.
No Silk-No Stockings
With the advent of the war, our
supply of silk was suddenly cut off,
and nylon went into parachutes. Am-
erican women found themselves fac-
ed with the dispiriting prospect of
having to wear rayon stockings for
the duration. Rayon stockings make!
the loveliest legs look coppef -plated,
and they show unpleasant tendencies'
to sag, stretch, and wrinkle, espe-
cially in warm weather.
Hurrah For Leg-Make Up
In this moment of crisis, another
scientific genius thought up leg make-
up. The idea caught on like wildfire,
and within one summer women all
over the country were happily paint-
ing their stockings on.
Leg make-up does not sag, stretch.
or wrinkle. No special devices are
needed to hold it up. It does not re-
quire laundering, and does not run,
as most varieties can be removed only
with soap and water.
Practically every cosmetic manu-
facturer in the country makes leg
make-up, and many varieties are very
smooth and easy to put on. Now that
the warm weather has arrived, Ann
Arbor coeds can discard clumsy wool
socks and loafers or saddle shoes for
leg makeup and gay play-shoes.
