men, was founded for the purpose
of giving recognition to the work of
outstanding students, and giving
encouragement for future achieve-
ment.
Membership is based on scholar-
ship. Any male student with an
average equal to half A and half B

Organized at Willia mand Mary
College on Dec. 6, 1776, PHI BETA
KAPPA is the oldest of all Greek
letter secret societies. The belief of
the founders that a knowledge of
the basic laws which govern the uni-
verse is necessary to good living was
reflected in both their motto and the
character of their meetings. The
Michigan chapter was founded in
1907.
The purpose of the society is tc
recognize and encourage scholarship
and cultural interests. Taking this
into consideration, the Student Elec-
tions committee makes a careful
study of the entire University record
of all the candidates to determine

high and the relatively few elected

Coed Laughs at
Foolish Fashions
By NANCY GROBERG
Editor's Note: This is a Groberg classic
on college fashion which we believe
bears repeating. It was first printed
in the Daily on November 2, 1943.
- Contrary to the claims of promi-
nent fashion authorities-that fash-
ion is spinach-common observation
tells us that there is little more to
.it than that..
Indeed, if fashion is spinach, then
the Michigan coed is a victory gar-
den and Ann Arbor is a veritable
hotbed of vitamins. No, fashion
won't be spinach until things get a
lot worse than they are now-now-
and when that day comes the chances
are that we'll be wearing slacks all
over the place.,
Some prominent coeds maintain
that fashion is hash-and they can
prove it. The Michigan coed, they
point out, divides her time between
trying to look like a man and trying
to look like a woman. Thus, in her
more masculine moments she slou-
ches around town, moccasins beat-
ing a delightful tatoo on the pave-
ment, coat flung open to October
breeze (system flung open to pneu-
monia), trouser pleat in her skirt,
(c'est la guerre, but c'est also the
Michigan , woman's idea of what a
well-dressed skirt will wear.) and
something terribly tailored in the
;ay of a blouse hanging out of some-
thing terribly tailored in the way of
r blazer.
only womel of more than" freshman
rating may belong.
Architecture:
Students from the upper third of
,heir class scholastically and who are
tn the School of .Architecture and
Design are eligible to membership in
Alpha Alpha Gamma, the national
aonorary society in architecture and
,he allied arts. The society was
founded to promote interest in var-
ious forms of art and hold meetings
very two weeks.
Tau Sigma Delta , is an interna-
tAonal honorary fraternity in archi-
ecture and its allied arts whose aim
s to produce men fit for the profes-
sion with a concept of duty toward
society.
Engineering:
TAU BETA PI is the national sen-
.or engineering honor society in the
engine school which is similar to Pi1
Beta Kappa in the literary college.
It represents the highest honor that
-an be accorded to an engineering
student.
The organization was founded in
New York University in 1919, and the
local chapter-the second of national
3rganization-was founded in 1925
to stamp .approval on meritorious
work of engineering students and to
encourage young alumni.
ETA KAPPA NU is the national]
3lectrical engineering fraternity
which was founded for the purpose
of promoting closer cooperation
among students and others in the
profession. It admits to member-
ship only-those who by 'their attain-
nrents in college or in practice have
snanifested exceptional interest and
ability in electrical engineering.
QUARTERDECK SOCIETY, one of
the oldest engineering societies on
:ampus (was formed in 1909), is an
honorary invitational society of the
Department of Naval Architecture
and Marine Engineering College of
Engineering.

versity Sailing Club, whose member-
ship is open to men and women whc
are or want to become acquainted
with the ways of the wind and the
water.

tion are a scholarship rating in the

War Council.
If there were a doubt before, it's
dispelled by the Daily staff. Two
energetic members of the distaff side
have held the position of managing
editor for the last four semesters.
If a woman had been appointed
managing editor several years ago it
would have made a banner headline
. . . today it's taken for granted.
And then there is the sports staff
some more women. Last year
saw a woman associate sports editor.
The business staff has experienced
similar revolution, and the women
have run it since a year ago at this
time.
Even dating has been affected, and
the independence of the coed has
become an accomplished fact when
she takes her Friday night date home
to the barracks, kisses him good
night, and treks home with hours to
spare. Women once felt themselves
restricted by "keeping hours." War-
time has turned the tables.
