SUNDAY, JUNE , 1945 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE F IVE fissembly Organization Builds Plan For Consolidation of Independents _ ___ _ _ Assembly is planning a program for next year to unify all indepen- dent women on campus and to ac- quaint them with their opportunities in activities. "Independent Fortnight", a series of events designed to familiarize in- dependent women with the purpose and organization of Assembly, inter- viewing and petitioning processes, and all activities, will begin with a mass rally held on the Monday of the third week of the fall term. Dean Alice Lloyd, Miss Ethel MacCormick, and members of the Assembly Board will be introduced. Assembly Board To Visit Houses During the next two weeks the Assembly Board will visit every dor- mitory, auxiliary dormitory and lea- gue house, presenting talks and skits. In many instances the residents of the houses will be combined so there will be fewer houses to visit. The climax of Independent Fort- night will be Recognition Night when all independents will honor their classmates who have made outstand- ing records in scholarship and activi- ties. Recognition Night Committee1 Helen Alpert, Assembly president, recently announced the members of Central Committee for Recognition Night. Ellen Hill, Martha Cook, is General Chairman, while Margery Harrington, Betsy Barbour, is Assis- tant Chairman. Publicity will be handled by Dolores Massey, Stock- well, while Alice Berberian, Stock- well, will be program chairman. Fran- ces Popkins, Stockwell, is finance chairman, and Margaret Thompson, Stockwell, is in charge of patrons. Dorothy Wilhelm, Betsy Barbour, ____ a d d: i , .. I . is in charge of arrangements, assis- ted by Carmelita Fisher, Betsy Bar- bour. Judith Pregerson of Tappan House is Ticket Chairman, and Shirley Hansen, Martha Cook, is in charge of War Activity awards, with Norma Coppersmith on her commit- tee. Sarah Simons, Stockwell, will handle Scholarship awards. Doris Trimpeter and Betty Rosenblum are member of the Ticket committee. At Recognition Night an appren- tice speaker will be heard, Wyvern, Mortarboard, and Senior Societies will present skits, and Senior Society will tap new members. This will be the only all-independent affair spon- sored by Assembly, and it is hoped that every independent woman on campus will attend. Membership Cards Added In order to give women tangible evidence of their membership in As- sembly, membership cards will be introduced, and the Assembly song will be used more extensively next year. Assembly plans for new social ac- tivities next year include league house dances, intra-dormitory par- ties, bridges, and teas. "We have an enthusiastic Board for next year and each one of us is willing to work very hard toward making Assembly a strong and active organization of which every inde- pendent can be proud, but an organi- zation is only as strong and active as its members," Helen Alpert, As- sembly president, said. "If all independents give us their full support and cooperation, we promise them the best year Assembly has ever had," Miss Alpert concluded.

Latest Swim Suits Feature Gay Prints; Novel Sarong Skirts "Brief-but-beautiful" is the idea which has been followed through by designers in the 1945 parade of bath- ing suits, and the new models are perfect for either a swim or a tan session. Most of the new suits are two piece and feature baby pants, diaper-drap- ed skirts, or a sarong wrapped skirt, borrowed from South Sea sirens. Checked and flowered suits are in the limelight and may be obtained in such exciting combinations of color as blue with fuchsia, pink, aqua, or lime with black, and ice-blue with royal. The one piece princess style suit is still in style for the more con- servative, and can be found in either cotton or sharkskin Solid colors predominate in this type of Wuit and white or sunshine yellow is especially attractive. A new one-piecer, how- ever, is highlighted with bands of brightly colored print on a white background.

Voluntary Honor Code To Replace Contact Rules in Formal Rushing BEST FOOT FORWARD Contact rules during the pre-for- mal rushing period have been com- pletely abolished, according to a recent announcement by Nancy Jef- ford, Panhellenic rushing chairman. "They were abolished because we want independent and sorority women, to have as much free contact as pos- sible, as much as they normally would if rushing were non-existent." Miss Jefford continued. Because the formal rushing period will be deferred until the second semester, all sororities will abide by an honor system during the first semester, and this voluntary honor .code will govern all contact between sorority women and prospective rush- ees; Newly appointed members of the Panhellenic rushing council include Rita Kallman, Sigma Delta Tau; Lois Cothran, Alpha Chi Omega; Lou Wellman, Zeta Tau Alpha; Monna with fooltlets Sizes 9-11 Lisle and tricot rayon 25c - 35c a pair Lee Clarke, Alpha Omicron Pi; and Barbara Longway, Kappa Alpha Theta.
