THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1947 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- ..'\ 2 \..\W j The Va 8 NI ,,. %i ., ei l ,'b ^f ' -i t , : Z a, ' :r~; Via,. : r .. sP .

The Book Exchange is operated by student volunteers from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. .Students working receive a 10 percent discount on all books purchased from the Ex- change.kAid is urgently needed this week, and all those wishing 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. on t e otf il a 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.

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.
