Leadership School To Begin
Institute Training Program
Newer Look
By PAT SMITH
Spring coats and light toppers
embody the highest style points
of the 1950 spring fashions.
There are few radical changes
in coat fashions this spring, but
there are some interesting modifi-
cations. Coats are generally very
full and roomy with big sleeves.
Many have belts and can be worn
with or without to give variety.
RAGLAN SLEEVES are being
featured this spring which make
the coat more comfortable when
worn over suits. The full drop
sleeve is also popular. This style
is carried out by a smooth drop
shoulder effect and a -yolk across
the back.
Some of the more dressy coats
are featuring puffy push-up
sleeves which have a full arm
and tight cuff. Many of the
sleeves shown are braclet length
and some are very short and
above the elbow of a semi-coat.
This dress-like style can be
worn as a dress or, in cooler
weather, as a coat over a dress.
Large wing-pointed collars give
a flying send-off and big conspi-
cious pockets add the finishing
touches. Perky stand-up collars
are also being featured with large
lapels. White pique is shown on
collars and cuffs to dress up the
coat a bit.
* * *
NEW HIP-LENGTH jackets are
just the thing to give last year's
suit the new look. Bright contras-
ting colors are featured with suits.
Many- of the jackets may be worn
straight or belted. A flared back
is again popular this spring.
The full short sleeves and
push-up sleeves are very sty-
lish in the jacket. These short
mull jackets billowing over a
pencil-slim skirt are just the
thing to give the stylish top-
heavy look of this spring.
The casual coat of this spring
follows the trend of the season. It
is large and full with huge con-
spicious pockets. It has full rag-
lan sleeves and big flowing collars.
It is worn with a belt which may
be buckled or merely folded over
in a neat knot.

,A
Valuable experience in leader-
ship and personnel training is be-
ing offered to University women
who are interested in counseling
a select group of high school girls
during summer vacation.
Wolverine Girl's State, which
will be held from June 19 to 27
this year, is a convention present-
ed annually by the American Leg-
ion Auxiliary for outstanding high
school students chosen from all
over Michigan. The program is
designed to familiarize the girls
with present-day vocational op-
portunities for women and to stim-
ulate a deep interest in the devel-
opment of home and community
life.
* * ,
COEDS WHO would like the
opportunity to work as counselors
during the convention may apply
now at the League with Miss Ethel
McCormick, and will be called for
an interview after spring vacation.
"Applicants should be equip-
ped with leadership abilities, re-
creational skills, a live interest
in the welfare of girls, and pre-
ferably have camp or playground
experience," said Miss Miriam
Brown, chief counselor for Wol-
verine Girl's State and resident
director at Jordan Hall.
Counselors will receive $20 as
remuneration plus room and
board, and will be able to enjoy
many of the privileges and facili-
ties of the University while parti-
cipating in the program.
EACH COED will be assigned
to a town consisting of about 14
students. There will be a total
of 238 girls forming 17 town units.
These girls will stay at Stockwell
Hall during the convention.
Regular members of the Uni-
versity staff will offer instruc-
tion and demonstration in house-
hold arts, home economics, hos-
pital work, dramatics, fine arts,
physical education, dietetic and
actual experience in governmen-
tal procedure and its functions.
Recreational and athletic re-
sources of the University will be
placed at the girls' disposal, so

Spring Season
.Features Navy
Navy takes over again this
spring in the fashion world.
Whether it be the newest style
in spring coats, long or toppers,
suits of the traditional type, or
the latest in snappy bolero outfits,
navy blue heads the list.
* * *
IN FABRICS with a hard finish
such as the old favorite, gabar-
dine, the navy color gives that
sleek, tailored look for which
many a damsel strives.
Light weight wools, used more
in the dressmaker type of suit,
are also very flattering in navy
and that soft, draped look is the
result.
Navy is also featured this year
in the latest fashions in coat de-
sign and materials. Coats of light
weight fleece and the new suede-
like fabric in navy blue are re-
ceiving a top popularity rating.
* * *
THE BOLERO costume is one
of the most effective means of
wearing navy blue to the best ad-
vantage. A vivid contrast between
the blouse worn under the bolero
jacket and the navy blue of the
suit creates a spotlight effect.
The boleros vary in length,
some of them swing from
the shoulders while others fit
smoothly.
