An annual event since 1904, this year's JGPlay will be the fourth of the completely original presen- tations, written, directed and pro- duced solely by junior women. The play is presented in Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre three times, and according to tradi- tion, the first presentatlon of the play 'for seniors only,' and the remaining performances to a regular audience. In former To Apply for Scholarships Coeds may apply for a number of scholarships and prizes award- ed annually to qualified women students in the University. On the basis of good citizen- ship, scholarship, and need, the variousdormitories award schol- arships. Although they are or- dinarily intended to meet the needs of students who have already made a record at the University, they are occasionally awarded to a new student whose credentials are exceptional. Alumnus Scholarship Entering freshmen who are residents of Michigan are eligible to apply for the Michigan Alurfl- ni Undergraduate Scholarships, valued at the total of the semes- ter fees. These are renewed as long as the completion of study ix the University is satisfactory. Ap- plication should be made to the secretary of the University of Michigan Alumni Club in the ap- plicant's home city or district. A goal to strive for is the win- ning of one of the three Ethel A. McCormick Scholarships which are awarded each year. These are given to second semester junior women who have a scholastic av- erage of at least 2.7 and have par- ticipated in extra-curricular ac- tivities. $100' Awards The awards of $100 each are payable at the beginning of the next full semester during which the recipients are on campus, and are given for one year unless the winner fails to meet the require- ments at the end of the first se- mester. days, the play traveled to De- troit to play for parents of the coeds.

Be- fore curtain time, exerpts from the last JGPlay are presented by the oriuinal cast.' Novel feature of Senior Night activities is the parade in which married women ii light candles, en- gaged coeds u(k lemons, pinned women wear straight pins, and unattached coeds throw as many penties as they are old into the wishing well. T""e th"me of the play is kept secret until its initial presenta- tion f;r the seniors. The play is financed by class dues. A mass meeting will be held dur- ing the fall semester for all women who wish to assist in cowmittee work or appear in the production. Gini Campbell is the chairman of this year's Junior Girl's Play. For se~ver'al years the plays were written by graduate stu- dents. alumni, and even profes- sional writers. "Take It from There," "There's Room for All," and "The Best Years," staged in 1945 through 1947 respectively were produced solely by junior women, as will be this year's production. The first production was a sim- ple play presented by six junior coeds in Sarah Caswell Angell Hall in :arbour Gymnasium. The fol- lowing year, "Every Senior," was staged "For the warming and moral awakening of the senior girls." In 1912 a second performance, whicn was open to all women on campus, was given. "The Come- back" in 1915 was performed in Detroit. The play was not opened to men in Ann Arbor until 1923 when it was staged at a local theatre. From 1922 to 1928 the pro- ceeds from the play were added to the League building fund. JGI'lay was very elaborate at this time, many times having a week'sr1.1.since 1920 the play has been presented in Lydia MVendellsohii Theatre. Junior Girls' Play is entirely un- der the direction of junior women. Miss Ethel A. McCormick acts as advisor. Junior, Senior Coeds Eligible For Awards Junior and cenior women stu- dents at theUniversity as well as graduate students are eligible to apply for loans according to Mrs. Mary C. Bromage, Associate Dean of Women. In addition freshmen and soph- omores who find themselves faced with unexpected emergencies may become eligible. Loans are made after consideration of the stu- dents' needs and resources in re- lation to the cost of University education "Whereas there was relatively little demand for loans during the war years," Mrs. Bromage stated, "the academic year 1947-48 shows a decided increase in the amount of money which students were forced to borrow." This can be attributed to mounting costs and occasional loss of income due to unemployment or family crisis. The Office of the Dean of Wom- en is able to work out the period of repayment to fit the students' program. Application blanks are available in Barbour Gymnasium upon request 4> Bromage Asks for Inquirinc Minds in Modern Students Today's student should bring an inquiring mind and a susceptible imagination with him when he. comes to college, according to Mrs. Mary C. Bromage, Associate Dean of Women. In addition, he should possess the will to work and should have the encouragement of his family and teachers if he is to achieve the objectives of a modern college education. Dean Bromage cited these ob- jectives as: First, the acquisition of a new perspective that comes from the study of other peoples, places and times. This should give the stud- ent an insight into "his own turb- ulent times." Second, the increased enjoy- ment of life which accompanies the development of familiarity with literary, musical and artistic masterpieces. Dean Bromage said that human nature cannot fulfill itself unless the individual is stim- ulated to a greater capacity for self expression. Third, the development of an awareness of social responsibilities and the obligations of citizenship which Dean Bromage termed "in- escapable in a democracy." Fourth, discovery of the stud- ent's own field of special interest "Only knowledge induces the kinc of self-confidence that betokens a discipline of mind whereby ideas are founded on facts, not prejud- ices. It is this sort of knowledge self-acquired, and not wealth, in- herited position or prestige, whicl opens doors in America." Fifth, the opportunity to acquire a. wide circle of friends, represent- ing other races, nationalities anc religions. Related to this is the cultivation 'of a well-rounled self development in social activitiew and sports. Finally, provision for acquiring a basis for "that kind of human relationship upon which an en- during home life can be built." Dean Bromage summarized her comments on what student: should get out of college by ob serving that "a college' degree no longer means four years in ivy clad towers far from the stress and strain of world affairs." POISED FOR THE SWIM-But there's not much room to paddle around for these typically pulch- ritudinous University women. Campus women are conducting a drive to replace this two-by-fqur "Barbour Bathtub" with a really adequate swimming hole of their own. At present, the women can stretch their muscles full length only by using one of the two pools on which men have first priority. League Holds Classes for Men in Dance Coeds To Receive Free Instruction Ballroom Dancing may not be listed in the University Catalogue, but that doesn't mean that stu- dents, both men and'coeds, can't learn to dance or to improve he two-step that carried them through their high school days. Dance classes, sponsored by the League, offer an opportunity for an hour a week of instruction from an ex-Arthur Murray expert to men for $4 each eight-week courte. Coeds may receive lessons free while acting as hostesses and assistant teachers. Dancers are divided into three groups - beginners, intermediate and advanced, and instruction is based on the ability and prefer- ence of the class. Classes are held in the evening in the League Ballroom. An- nouncement is made in The Daily at the beginning of each session as to the time and place of registra- tion and of tryouts for the ad- vanced class. Casses are limited to 65 man and an equal number of women. Fall Fashions Promise Colorful, Curved Look for Col eg&Bound By RICCA SUMMERS Fall fashions tempt the eyes and pocketbooks of American women with their ingenious styles and imaginative colors, the latter indicating a geunine feeling tone for this bright season. The lady-like look of natural shoulder-lines, small waists and curved hips and bosoms remains, highlighted by a galaxy of excit- Coeds May Obtain Baby-Sitting Jobs The Office of the Dean of Women has issued a call for baby- sitters-a job that has more than financial remuneration to recommend it. Students whose pet peeves in- clude an uncomfortable library nd a noisy house, will find study appeal in the baby-sitting position. Parents usually have the young- ster or youngsters in bed before the arrival of the baby sitter who can then sit down to an undis- turbed evening of book-cracking. Coeds who wish to baby-sit may put their names on the list in the Office of the Dean of Women. Householders who wish to take advantage of the baby-sitting service may call at the same of- fice. Office hours ,are Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 12 noon and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. ing and unusual colors and rich fabrics. Black, the ever-popular, will stand aside for tones of brown ranging from coffee to butter- scotch to beige. Grey, which en- joyed a revival last season, has be- come oh-so-versatile, with shades from cloud to near-black. Reds, warm and heartening in the autumn coolness will be used extensively. Lipsticks of orange and maroon will be right up there in the best of style. Contrasting these colors are the variety of deep shades which will make up a large part of the fall wordrobe. Mossy greens, luscious plum and black- brushed blues will be seen in sports as wellas dress clothes. After dark clothes will compete with the moon and the stars for romance. Clothes of gold, irides- cent and metal failles and taffeta will light up the night. Stiff moires, and that darling of queens, brocade will lend themselves to foi'mal wear par excellence. As for fabrics, there will be plen- ty of tweed for the college set. Carrying out the dictum of dark- er colors, many tweeds will have blac:t'as a basic color, ofter with flashes of tangerine, pink or pal- est green to accentuate them. It will be a warm and exciting fall in women's clothes.
