MARY RIGGS
* * *~ *

League Official B et hrot e d

Mr. and Mrs. Samuel H. Riggs
of Grosse Pointe Woods have an-
nounced the engagement of their
daughter, Mary Genevieve, to
Frank Robertson Dawson, son of
Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Dawson of
Easton, Pa.
Miss Riggs is a junior in the
School of Education. She is chair-
man of the Womens' Judiciary
Council, a member of Scroll and

affiliated with Kappa Kappa
Gamma.
Mr. Dawson was graduated last
year from the School of Business
Administration at the University
of Missouri. He was a member of
the varsity football team and is
a member of Phi Gamma Delta.
The couple are planning to be
married June 17 at the Congrega-
tional Church in Ann Arbor.

Anyone who's looking for a
member of Women's Judiciary
council will not find her sitting
with a stern face and black robes
in a bleak courtroom.
"That's out," according to Ju-
1iciary Chairman Mary Riggs, '50.
"You'd, be more likely to find
Council members visiting women's
houses and dorms. Counseling wo-
men and seeing that house and
University rules function smooth-
ly is one of our biggest jobs."
"IN FACT, we've even given ad-
vice on 'how to get along with
your roommate' and 'how to start
student government in a league
house' ", she said.
The Council, of course, also
handles cases involving infrac-
tions of rules. "But we work on
the principle of preventing
when we can, rather than met-
ing out punishment."
Coeds on the Council have a
chance to make an age-old fem-
inine talent-looking into other
people's business-pay dividends.
* * *
IN ORDER TO enforce regula-
tions fairly, we must investigate
thoroughly every case that comes
before us," Miss Riggs said.
So each Council member gets
all the facts on cases 'of rule
infractions reported in her dis-
trict. (Women on campus are
divided by the Council into six
of these districts.) Only after
this is done is the case consid-
ered at a hearing.
Petitioning for senior positions
on the Council will be open until
Friday afternoon, and petitions
may be obtained now at the
League Undergraduate Office. All
junior women with scholastic el-
igibility may apply for the posts.
Honorary Sorority
Initiates Sixteen
Mu Phi Epesileon, national hon-
orary music sorority, held its in-
itiation Sunday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. Paul Kemf.
Those initiated are Elsie Bell,
Carol Eagle, Joanne Green, Col-
ette Jablonski, Lillian Johnson,
Mrs. Gladys Kohl, Mary Lown and
Margaret McCall.
The list continues with Vivian
Milan, Delores Oates, Jennie Par-
ker, Lennette Schaffer, Ruth
Spore, Barbara Stolz, Dorothy
Webb, and Joan Zg.pf.
Ribbon Tricks
A picot edged ribbon in an un-
usual shade forms an interesting
decoration for a suit jacket, es-
pecially if it is held in place with
a large pin.

With the fashion world's return
to the fads of the twenties, con-
fused cries are being heard on all
sides as to just how and when the
female population originated their
current trend to the shorter hair
cut.
Back at the beginning of the
era now known as the "roaring
twenties," much serious thought
and discussion was aroused by the
feminine invasion into that pre-
viously private male sanctum, the
barber shop.
Introduced by Irene Castle in
1916, the short hair cut was first
tried out by courageous mothers
tired of braiding and curling their
daughter's hair each day. Realiz-
ing the advantages their daugh-
ters were enjoying with this new
found freedom, the mothers then
decided to convert the style to
their own use.
* *,*
HAVOC THEN BEGAN to reign.
Courts, the press and churches
commenced to speak out against
this shunning of the mantle of
womanhood with one sect excom-
municating members who had
shorn their locks. Divorces became
abundant and the courts found
themselves with a thriving busi-
ness. One family in Kansas called
their mother unchristian after she
had paid her visit to the barber.
Since there was no other
place to go, the women natur-
ally invaded the barbershops,
an act which aroused no end of
discussion in the masculine
world. Declaring that the moral
standards of the country were
being lowered considerably, the
men were also irked by this
abrupt intrusion of their priv-
acy.
They furthermore did not ap-
preciate having to wait in line
while their favorite barber was
busy shearing the locks of some
rash supporter of the new fashion
movement!
* * *
IT IS TRUE that the creations
which emerged from these shops
were far from beautiful, but they
were new and different! Styles
were strictly limited to either a
straight dutch bob worn with
equally straight bangs or else the
shingle originated by Ina Claire.
If curls were desired, the poor wo-
men could resort to permanents,
but these were all day sessions
which ended up in the customer's
looking like a frizzled-haired na-
tive of the south seas.
The theory of the bobbed hair
bandits began to abound due to
the fact that many of the wo-
men being sent to prison at that
time were sporting the short

mid - western prison asserted
that this was proof that women
who cut their hair were certain-
ly not helping to raise the mor-
als of the country.
Over in England, the new fad
ran into farther difficulty with
the royal family prohibiting Prin-
cess Mary to follow the trend of
fashion. Wearers of the short hair
cut were even banned from ap-
pearing at coirt!
* * *
WITH THE INTRODUCTION
of the cloche hat in 1922, more
and more women began to realize
that this conservative, but chic,
creation would not fit over the
enormous braids, buns and rolls
which they were wearing.
T-" 19ry7, the Tnternational
Hairdresser's Association final-
ly conceded that the style was
here to stay, but this move did
not include the numerous towns
in Germany which levied special
taxes on women who cut their
hair. The women retaliated by
refusing to cook!
The year 1928 saw Antoine of
Paris endorsing the brief hair cut
and manufacturers were forced to
admit that it was safer for factory
workers. By 1929 the war was fair-
