AY 3,9 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Decorations at 18th IFC Ball Will Depict Waterfront Life Decorations for this year's IFC Ball, which will be presented from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday, will trans- form the IM Building into a pano- rama of waterfront life. Travel posters and pennants, and murals of typical scenes will decorate the foyer of the building, while a colorful sign over the en- trance will introduce guests to the mood of the dance. The usual picture-taking booths will be specially designed to take passport photos. Refreshments which will be served at a stand across from the picture booths, will be concocted to further carry out the waterfront theme. THE BALLROOM itself will suggest a small city at the edge of the water. A ferry boat scene will decorate the east end of the room and a mural of the skyline at a waterfront will cover the other end. The bandstand will be trans- formed into a wharf, The booths erected by the fra- ternity houses will constitute one of the evening's main at- tractions. Two fraternities will combine their efforts in con- structing each booth. In all, there will be 21 booths which will be patterned after the dives along a waterfront community. Electrically lighted stars sus- pended from the ceiling will add the finishing touches to the scene. Tickets for the dance are now o: sale and may be purchased through representatives in each fraternity.

Four Women Take Honors At Banquet Scrolls citing journalistic achievement were presented to four Detroit women by Theta Sig- ma Phi, honorary women's jour- nalism fraternity at a "Ladies of the Press Banquet," Sunday, at a local hotel. The honored speakers were Helen Bower, music, drama and book critic of the Free Press, Fran Harris, women's editor of WWJ, Melba Harlett, author and play- wright, and Margaret Winthrop, manager of Tech Advertising' Agency and president of the De- troit chapter of the fraternity. * * * "JOURNALISTIC muscle devel- oping makes you strong on the job," declared Miss Bower, "but it has to come the hard way." Advertising was advocate I by Miss Winthrop as "the most ex- citing writing job." Mrs. Mar- lett, author of five novels, point- ed out the novelist first has to live while writing. She recom- mended mystery novels as the easiest start. "There is no writing in televi- sion, so far," Mrs. Harris said. "The actor projects the situation idea of the 'writer'." President Mary Alice Cheney in- troduced the eight initiates. They were Ann Joan Beck, Alice Brink- man, Mary Clements, Dorothea Hess, Joanne Leivo, Nancy Lutton, Dolores Palanker, and Nancy Sayre. Blue Team The Blue team, with their pre- sentation of "Deuces Wild," were the first winners of Frosh Week- end. Winning with a total of 199 points to their opponents' 190, the Blues achieved victory by a very narrow margin. The teams were judged on decorations, program design, ticket design, dues collect- ed, floorshow and the cost of the dance presentation. Judges of the dances were Miss Muriel Efty, house director of Stockwell Hall; Miss Wilma Ste- ketee, assistant business manager of the League and James Jans, president of the Student Legisla- ture. 1 L I COTTON COST CUT: I Lower Prices Will Please Coeds nn sy- 1° " Michiganensian Announces A TRYOUT MEETING -- for Freshmen The Panhel Meeting Panhellenic Association will meet at 4 p.m. today in the League Ballroom.

El A JaCObAOnd - 1319 South University Phone 9533 the last few months due to a gen- eral tightening up in all indus- tries. This year shoppers will get more than their money in the way of styling and fabrics because of technical advances which are be- ginning to affect the whole gar- ment industry. THE WIDESPREAD fallacy, ac- credited to the influence of the Paris designer Dior, that skirt lengths were going up has proved completely false in all price lines. Skirts on all dresses, including those for casual wear with flat heeled shoes, will remain 12 to 13 inches from the ground. Some lines are featuring hems 11 inches from the ground. Most retailers seem to feel that the- proper length is not that which fashion in its whim- sical way is dictating at the mo- ment, but a length which is suited to individual proportions. Skirt lengths on all dresses, re- gardless of size, are about the same. Favorable reaction has greeted the advent of the full skirt in all price ranges. New cap sleeves, which are set in, instead of being made in one piece with the shoul- der, are being popularized. ENSEMBLES HAVE taken the spotlight in sports clothes. Shorts, skirt, bra, and hat can be bought separately in the same fabric. Fine detailing is conspicuous i' all styles. One of the reasons for the trend towards mix and match- ing summer separates is that it enables the buyer in the mid- dle-class price brackets to put her own samp of originality on pieces which are made more cheaply through mass produc- tion. Fabrics which have not been seen since 1940 are returning to the market. Egyptian cottons, Swiss-embroidered organdy and cotton brocades have returned to the spotlight. Irridescent cham- brays, dotted swiss, and a new fabric of rayon, which does not need to be ironed, called piquette, are featured. Colors which are most popular this year are all shades of purple from mauve to plum, sunny hues from daffodil to dark gold, and pristine white. Black will be fea- tured toward the end of summer. All the pastels have proved again to be the "best sellers." eurrent rate on insured savings Extra earnings on Bonus Savings Accounts "k b "Jat cAese offers I ANN ARBOR PHOTO SERVICE CO.
