Homecoming
Dance Tickets
Now on Sale,
No matter what the weather is
like outside, autumn will have
come to the IM Building on Oct.
21, where the annual Homecom-
ing dance is to be held from 9
p.m. to 1 a.m.
The dance which has been
named "Autumn Maize" is being
planned about a theme which will
create an atmosphere of fall in
the air.
The bandstand will be decorat-
ed in brilliant autmun hues, and
about the rest of the room there
will be other decorations in keep-
ing with the theme.
PROGRAMS are also being de-
signed to feature this theme.
Claude Thornhill and his or-
chestra will provide the music
for the event. Thornhill, who is
said to have one of the most
outstanding orchestras of the
year, is a versatile musician and
presents a program of music
which is planned to appeal to
all. He has some hot and fast
music and also some of the slow,
dreamy type.
Homecoming cups will be pre-
sented during the intermission.
THE COMMITTEE for the
event has announced that it will
be a dressy dance. Women are re-
quested not to wear flowers.
Tickets for the dance are on
sale at the Administration
Building and may be purchased
from any student legislature
member. The price is $3.60.
Committee for the dance is com-
posed of Hugh Greenberg, general
chairman; Nancy Coleman, deco-
rations; John Osmundsen, re-
freshments; Herb Ruben, tickets;
Jim Moran, publicity; Judy Sin-
clair, patrons; Jeri Rich, pro-
grams and Bob Vogt, buildings
and grounds.
LaCrosse CIu
MeetsToday
The Indians could do it and so
can members of the WAA La-
Crosse Club.
LaCrosse is a modern version of
an old Indian sport. It is similar
to hockey, but an attempt is made
to keep a ball off tht ground. The
hard rubber ball is about the size
of a baseball.
It is thrown and caught in
throng pouches on the end of 3'
to 4' sticks. The sizes of the pouch-
es vary according to the position
held by the player.
The sport is largely a running
game.
The WAA LaCrosse Club is a
relatively new club started three
years ago, and one of the few such
clubs in the mid-west. This game
has been chiefly an Eastern sport.
The first meeting of the club
will be at 4:30 p.m. today at the
WAB.

All the tradition and history of
the Scots--of their bagpipes and
highland flings, of their kilts and
coats-of-arms-is reflected in the
story, of the tartans of Scotland.
Celtic tribes, living during the
Roman conquest of the British
Isles, were noted for their excel-
lent weaving of woolen cloth and
for the many colors which they
used in its manufacture.
THE DYES which were obtain-
able chiefly from plants, resulted
in colors which were distinguish-
ing in their quiet beauty.
These colors lend a taste and
dignity to the old tartans which
have to some degree been lost
since modern synthetic dying
processes have come into use.
Different colors and patterns in
tartans grew out of the desire of
each clan to have its own distin-
guishing design. Kinship in an-
cient Scotland was very important,
and everyone wanted to show to
which clan he belonged.
AT FIRST tartans were district
tartans since each clan had a cer-
tain district which it could claim
as its own. As the clans increased
in size and branches, a different-
iation was desired between the in-
dividual families of the clan. A line
or two was added, one color was
changed and a new family tartan
came into being.
An excellent example of this
is the Campbell tartans. Besides
the original clan design, there
are several family tartans which
were derived from this ancient
one.
Clans usually.had more than one
FROM CELTS TO COEDS:
Tradition, Legends of Scots
Reflected in Colorful Tartans
tartan. There was a bright tartan
for dress and feast occasions and
one of darker hues, although of
the same design, for hunting and
working. *
THERE WERE several hundred
of these ancient clan tartans which
can be traced back to the days of
the fierce, warlike tribes of Scot-
land. Each has a colorful tradi-
tion woven about its origin and
history.
Besides the tartan, each clan
also had a particular crest. Like
the tartan, it was designed as a
distinguishing mark of the clan.
The Wallace clan, for example,
which was made famous by Sir
William Wallace, the great Scotch
patriot and warrior who refused
to do homage to Edward I and who
was brutally executed by this king,
has on its crest a right hand clad
in armor, the hand brandishing a
sword.
The Scotch are proverbially well
known for their great thrift, and
the story which has grown up
around the history of the Scot-
tish tartans has made ther'm a peo-
ple rich in legend and tradition.
-Daily-Alan Reid
HOOT MON-Tartans which reflect the history and tradition of the ancient Scots are popular
among Michigan coeds this fall in skirts, jumpers and suits. Wearing plaids in the pitcure above
are, from left to right, Jan Ayers, Barabara Ellic ott and Pat Ford.

Coeds will be dreaming in tech-
nicolor this winter if they are not
able to resist the new eye-blink-
ing shades for slumber wear.
The latest word in cotton paja-
ma circles is color-royal blue,
Chinese red, emerald green and
brilliant lime are pushing aside
the traditional pink, blue and yel-
low of the conservative sleeper.
* * *
COTTON FLANNEL has also
gone all out for color this year
with green-taken from the top'
of a billiard table-topping the
list. Tattersall and houndstooth
check flannel will also put in an
appearance in domitories.
Chief reason for the empha-
sis on bright, but dark colors in
sleepwear this fall is the grow-j
ing demand for at-school or at-
home lounge clothes.
Realizing that the average coed
clothes budget is very limited,
manufacturers h a v e expanded'
their double-duty theme for sleep-
wear by creating new sleeping in-
novations in nonboudoir colors to
give them maximum utility.
* * *
NEW AND DIFFERENT sports-j
wear fabrics have been introduced
in the tommiecoat styles. Faded
blue denim which has been quilted
for the first time, will take its
place among sleepwear.
Corduroy and another fabric,
poplin, will make their appear-
ance in double-duty coats that
can be used as cover-up robes
indoors and as a jacket over
skirts or slacks outdoors. Both
styles will feature flaring backs,
flap pockets and convertible col-
lars.
For the coed who is inclined to
sleep until the last minute, thet
new pajama apparel is an aid for3
that frenzied rush to class. Cotton
pajamas are designed with blouse
tops made like a man's sport shirt
with an ascot.-
Another original design is the
lumberjack pajama with a tatter-
sall check shirt top, knitted waist;
band and solid color pants.-
The Chinese influence, which
has returned this fall, predomi-
nates in the tommie group. Sets
consisting of a Chinese print cot-,
ton sleeping or lounging pajama
and a three-quarter length robe
'will be a popular item among dor-
mitory dwellers.

opinions ... plus the whole blow-by-blow account of Michigan State's
