THE MICHIGAN DAILY Print Dresses Take Spotlight For Springtime Shops Will Feature Variety of Fabrics In Unusual Patterns If fashion magazines, dress shops and pattern books are any indication, spring is just around the corner. Among the many recent show- ings of feminine fashions are gay print dresses, a welcome change from winter woolens. * * * IF TALENTED, one can make a new print dress. There are all kinds of prints to choose from - flecks, penline, spatterdash, squares, designs and even dots These unusual designs are of- fered in a variety of fabrics. Latest patterns are now avail- able, and if one likes, variations can be added. Whether making or, buying ready-made, the print dresses for this spring promise to be bright, colorful, and flattering. BRILLIANT squares on silk' shantung echo the clean lines of a two-piece suit, dress with its wedge-shaped neckline and double breasted closing. Pen-line print is pretty in a sophisticated way. Tiny sleeves are cut in one with bodice and ' ,yokes. A spatterdash print is wonderfuly effective for a soft afternoon dress with the new cape collar. Polka dots are very young and gay when accented with white. A small geometric print is being shown in many pattern magazines with a deep U-neckline. There is shirring on bodice and hips.

Forestry Club To Give Dance Costumed Couples To Be Casually Clad Blue jeans and plaid shirts will steal the spotlight at the Forestry Club's annual Paul Bunyan "For- mal" to be held from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Saturday in Waterman and Barbour Gymnasiums. At this strictly informal "for- mai" casually costumed couples will dance to the music of Paul Lavoie and his orchestra amidst an atmosphere of red pines im- ported from the Forestry School's woods near Portage Lake. The forest also provided all the lumber used in the construction of the "longest bar in Ann Arbor" which has been built as a replica of the early saloons which were frequented by lumberjacks in the days of old. A DEMONSTRATION of the techniques used in obtaining the materials for this construction will be given during the intermission when sawing contests will be held between three couples selected from the audience. All contestants will be presented with suitable awards for their efforts. Intermission entertainment will also feature a game of "Guth or Consequences" in which a forester by the name of Guth will have the starring role. Foresters, as well as other stu- dents, enjoy these displays of might and talent and, thus, they will have strived to keep alive the tall tales of Paul Bunyan and his legendary power. * * * AS A RESULT, the stories sur- vive of how Paul formed Pike's Peak by piling rocks around his pike pole and built Niagara Falls for a shower bath. Speaking of water, it is said that one of Paul's water wa- gons sprung a leak and formed the Mississippi River, and one day, when he was feeling par- ticularly sad, his tears formed the Great Salt Lake. Another time, he decided that' a state similar to Texas should border the Gulf of Mexico, so he proceeded to toss rocks across the water and form the state of Flo- rida., * * *r Tickets for the dance will be oni sale this week in both the Admin- istration and Natural Science buildings, and they may also be purchased from any Forestry Club member or at the door the night of the dance.- WAA Notices) Fencing Club - Members will meet at 5 p.m. today at the WAB.

CAROL RADEBAUGH Survey Proves Men Illiterates Outnumbered Sometimes the truth hurts, es- pecially when it comes out that in most countries a great majority of illiterates are women. A surveyconducted by the UN commission on the status of wom- en has disclosed such statistics. * * * IT HAS BEEN found that in all countries of the world except Canada, Finland, Sweden and the United States, there are more il- literatesmamong women than among men. In some countries there are four times as many boys as girls in school. Two UN agen- cies are now attempting to help correct these inequities. The UN Economic and Social council has asked UNESCO to aid in developing education programs in under-developed countries and adult, education for women who were denied educational oppor- tunities. * * * THE COUNCIL also asked the International Labor Organization to develop vocational guidance and technical training for wom- en and to attempt to encourage the social advancement of women. There a r e many factors which contribute to the differ- ence in literacy. One factor is the traditional view that mar- riage is the primary purpose of a woman's life and therefore her education is brought to an end. Another reason for the difference is that women are kept too busy with domestic tasks. Often more emphasis is put on the education of men because of the job com- petition in most countries. There is resentment when women enter into this keen competition. 'U' Group To Attend Recreational Workshop To Be Held by State The Michigan Association for Health, Physical Education, and Recreation is holding a workshop today, tomorrow, and Saturday at Higgins Lake.

Students are not immune to the problem of trying to adjust a limited budget to rising expenses, an informal survey conducted by the Women's Division of the In- stitute of Life Insurance has re- vealed. Like everyone else, students are feeling the pinch of rising costs. The survey indicates that tuition in a group of private colleges has increased by more than $200 a year between 1937 and 1949. * * * IN ADDITION to tuition, almost everything else is becoming more expensive, including fees, living costs, clothes, transportation and recreation. One life insurance company has estimated the total cost of a college education as high as $2200 a year, depending on tui- tion costs, fees and the location of the college. In an attempt to balance their budgets, more students are re- ported to be seeking scholarships, hunting for part-time jobs and applying for student loans. JGP Tryouts Tryouts for JGP will be closed at 6 p.m. today. All ju- nior women are eligible to try- out. They are being held in the League. SURVEY EXPERTS say -that other economy measures, more difficult to measure, are un- doubtedly being taken by stu- dents. These include a general scal- ing-down of expenditures for food, recreation and clothing and an up-swing in requests made to families for larger al- lowances. The institute reporting the sur- vey was not ready to blame the slight decline in enrollment in colleges and universities this year on the higher cost of education. Other factors, they say, may al- so be responsible for the enroll- ment drop-off. There are fewer G.I. students receiving govern- ment funds this year, more oppor- tunities for full-time employment and more men entering or expect- ing to enter the armed services.
