Student Book Exchange Faced
With Critical Housing Problem
The Student Book Exchange,
campus organization designed to
aid students in the sale and pur-
chase of textbooks, is threatened
with immediate liquidation unless
new business quarters can be
found.
The Game Room of the Michi-
gan League, where the Book Ex-
change has been located for three
terms is now needed for women's
activities, and if new offices are
not provided the student organiza-
tion must be disbanded.
The Book Exchange is attempt-
ing to sell as many books as possi-
ble this week. In the event that
liquidation must occur, students
having texts remaining in the Ex-
change will be notified and may
collect the books at an arranged
time.
Sales are continuing this week
per usual, however, and text books
are still being accepted. Books
for freshmen courses are urgently
needed; especially history 11 and
12, political science 1 and 2, chem-

to noon and 1 to 5 p.m. Monday
through Friday. .Students working

to help should report at the offices
in the Game Room of the League
where they will be given instruc-
tions in procedure by present
members of the organization.
The Student Book Exchange is
a member of the National Associa-
tion of Student Book Exchanges,
and is governed by a Board of
Directors, composed of both facul-
ty and student members. The
faculty is represented by Dean W.
R. Rea, Prof. John Lederle, Mar-
vin Tableman and Miss Ethel Mc-
Cormick.
Students are represented by
Charlotte Bryant, Michigan Lea
gue; Marjery Pino; Sidney Zilber,
Alpha Phi Omega; Allan Farns-
worth, Michigan Union; Ken Bis-
sell, and James Risk.
Personal Touch
Face decor dismalia with a grin
and use the personality of the
owner as a guide to brighter, more
comfortable, interesting rooms.
The tailored type will want
plaids or. checks, simply made,
which prove more serviceable than
light, fluffy, dust collecting frills.
Drapery left overs can be utilized
as chair covers, window seat cov-
ers or as a ruffle around the bul-
letin board.
Sport Clubs
Initiate WAA
'47 Program
Year's Project Includes
Gym-Jams, Michigras,
Traditional Lantern Night
With the initial meetings of the
sports clubs the Women's Athletic
Association will launch the fall
program.
Eighteen sports clubs are the
medium through which the WAA
promotes healthful living in
Michigan women. The volleyball
tournament which will begin
Monday is one of the many team
sports with interhouse competi-
tion. Individual sports such as
badminton, bowling and riding
assist each participant in attain-
ing skill in her sport.
Gym-Jams, Michigras and Lan
tern Night are a few of the all
campus projects sponsored by the
WAA. Gym-Jams are held dur-
ing the year and are open to the
entire campus. At these events
opportunities to play volleyball,
badminton and ping-pong are
provided for all students. Bridge,
shuffleboard and dancing are also
included on the program.
Michigras is one of the largest
projects sponsored by the WAA
in conjunction with the Michigan
Union. For two days Yost Field
House becomes the site of a large
carnival. The traditional Michi-
gras parade is presented as ex-
citement mounts and houses pre-
pare for concessions and shows at
the carnival.
The traditional Lantern Night
climaxes the WAA's year's activi-
ties when all women residences
and sororities prepare ;songs in
honor of the graduating seniors.
The Line of March with seniors
in caps and gowns begins the fest-
ivities as the group proceeds
around the campus led by the
University Marching Band. Win-
ner of the 1947 song contest was
Alpha Chi Omega.
The WAA Participation Cup is
awarded the same night to the
house attoining the largest part-
icipation in sports. Gamma Phi
Beta is the newest recipient of
this award.
Among the clubs sponsored by
the WAA are i ndividual sports
clubs: archery, rifle, badminton,
bowling, fencing, golf, outing, rid-
ing, swimming, tennis, and dance
clubs. Tournaments are sponsored
by the basketball, softball, and
table tennis clubs. As the colder
weather comes the hockey and
ice skating clubs will begin acti-
vities. The Camp Counselors Club
will sponsor discussions and help
for prospective and experienced
counselors.
For times of club meetings the
League Lowdown and the Daily
may be consulted throughout the
semester. Additional information
may be obtained by calling the
clubmanagers listed in the League
Lowdown.
Tryouts Needed
Coeds interested in trying out
for the Women's Staff of the
Daily should contact Joyce John-
son at the Student Publications
Building or call 22591.

By JEAN WHITNEY
WITH SKIRTS LENGTHENED, hips padded and coats by Omar
the tent maker, thus hoping to have achieved the "New Look,"
coeds have returned en masse to Ann Arbor.
The "New Look" is most noticeable on campus in the longei
skirts. These skirts are either slim and straight with fly-fronts, side
slits and other such details, or they are fully pleated or circular,
cut on the bias.
To be completely the latest fashion the skirts range anywhere
from ankle length to 14 inches above the floor. Complications
have already arisen from the new longer length. Stepping up high
curbs and getting in and out of buses, streetcars and cars has
proved hazardous in the long straight skirts.
But full skirts also have their disadvantages. A high wind spells
disaster to the coed wearing a full skirt, while those cut on the bias
have a tendency to sag around the hemline creating a rippled effect.
ON THE TALL, slim, fashion-model type of woman longer skirts,
if not too extreme, are definitely attractive. But on the shorter
coeds the long skirts make for odd appearances.
Another feature of the "New Look" is the suit jacket with padded
hips. Women formerly spent many a grueling hour at hip reducing
exercises and massages. Now, with padded hips in high fashion,
Swedish masseuses are threatened with extinction.
The hour glass figure has returned, accentuating hips and
wasp waists. Besides hip-padding fashion experts have re-intro-
duced the old-fashioned'4boned corset, much to the discomfort
of fashion-minded women.
New coats have also been designed for the tall woman, as are
most styles. Long, with full backs and hoods, they create a tent-
like impression, resembling something from Act 1, scene 1 of Macbeth.
THE "OLD LOOK" is also in evidence. Coeds who purchased that
new college wardrobe long ago now sport a tell-tale line around
the hems where skirts have been let down.

Sport Managers
Meeting Planned
For Tomorrow
W o m e n 's residence Athletic
Managers will meet at 5 p.m. to-
morrow in the W.A.B.
Every dormitary, League house
and sorority house must be repre-
sented. If a regular manager has
not been elected, tentative repre-
sentatives should attend.
All WAA club activities will be
explained at the meeting and the
new League House zoning will be
announced. Changes in the sys-
tem of awarding the participation
cup on points will be discussed.
Every house will be asked to
hand in a time preference for the
volleyball tournament to begin
Monday. The time choices are:
Monday through Friday at 5 p.m.,
7:20 p.m. and 8:15 p.m. Each
team will be required to have a
timer or a scorer or both to be
eligible for the tournament.
Ann Arbor women and those liv-
ing in private homes should report
to the athletic office in Barbour
Gymnasium before Thursday to
be placed on a team.
The formula for keeping hair-
brushes stiff and in good condi-
tion is to wash them frequently
and rinse them in extremely hot
water and then very cold water.
