TUESDAY, APRIL 3, 1951 THE MICHIGAN DAILY WAGE MF T~lE MTCH(~AN flA1.i..1E 1 __ FACULTY MEMBER Students Meei League Get-Togethers Over Coffee, Cookies Marked by Informality Coffee and cookies, professors and students-these are the in- gredients the student-faculty cof- fee hour committee uses to make informal get-togethers for both the students and faculty on cam- pus. The student-faculty coffee hour is held at 4 p.m. every other week in the Grand Rapids Room on the second floor of the League. At each coffee hour one or two de- partments of the university are honored. THE BUSINESS administration faculty will be feted on April 18, and all the departments of the natural sciences will be honored on May 2, when, weather per- mitting, the coffee hour will be held outside on the League lawn. Informality is the keynote of all the coffee hours. Students have an opportunity to talk to their professors over a bridge table or while listening to re- corded music. "The professors always come in full force, but the students are the ones who shy away," said Pat Olson, chairman of the commit- tee. zS FETED: t Professors at Coffee Hours Favorite Gem Sign of April Diamonds Valued For Brilliance, Color By JO KETELHUT With engagement parties be- coming more prevalent on campus with the arrival of the spring sea- son, a mention of April's birth- stone-the diamond-seems parti- cularly appropriate. In legend the diamond is credit- ed with bringing the wearer ma- terial good luck and marital hap- piness. As far back as the history of the diamond ring can be tra- ced, it has been the emblem of purity as well as of a plighted troth. *-* YT ITS natural state the gem seems merely a charming, curi- 1-0y napect stone, occasionally surface-frosted. It takes skillful cutting to reveal the unusual light of the stone. In cutting the stones, gem experts cut many faces, or fa- cets, so that brilliance and pris- **-4;- colors will be reflected, giving the diamond its great ana sparkle. All diamonds are crystallized carbon and are, chemically, the simplest of all gems. A fine gem diamond is as clear in color as a drop of the purest water.

The purpose of the coffee hours is to give the students an opportunity to meet their pro- fessors and other members+ of the faculty on a strictly in- formal basis. Miss Olsen said that is a won- derful chance for a student to find out first hand about a course> he is contemplating taking. * *C * ASSEMBLY and Panhellenic Associations and the Union com- bine to sponsor the student-fa- culty coffee hours. In past years the Union and League held their own separate coffee hours, but this year they combined so that better facilities could be used. The central committee, under the leadership of Miss Olsen, is composed of Harvey Howard, Harry Newman, Renee Pregul- man and Diana Khowry. Among the students, serving as hosts and hostesses are Connie Brizman, Mary Jo Perry, Charles McAlpine and Joan Pierce.

DIAMONDS WHICH are entire- ly diffused with color such as deep blue, red, pink, violet and green are rare. The deep canary yellow diamonds, and those of black, brown and other such shades are. >very seldom found. Like nature, no diamond is absolutely perfect, for if it is very highly magnified, the mi- croscope will reveal in every dia- mond some works of nature's formation of the original ma- terial. Diamonds are the hardest of all substances, and are the result of centuries of great pressures exert- ed on organic materials. * * * INDIA WAS the center of the diamond world for hundreds of years. Then South Africa and now South America have become im- portant diamond areas. Except in India, the diamond was practically restricted to the adornment of kings until early in the fifteenth century, when fa- shionable ladies of the Western world discovered its allure as per- sonal ornamentation. Although large stones are rare, there are several gems which be- cause of their size and brilliance have become world-famous. Excelsior, discovered at Jagers- fontein, South Africa in 1893, weighed 96912 carats uncut. It was later cut in ten smaller stones, ranging in size from 13 to 68 car-. ats. By KATE RADOVAN "It's time for a change!" Spring rains definitely assure one of the end of a long winter, and cause coeds to begin worrying about spring outfits. * * * WITH AN eye on the weather change and a hand clasping a slim pocketbook, the wise college wo- man will take advantage of the forthcoming spring vacation to build a new wardrobe. Most department stores are now featuring a wide selection of light-weight fabrics, and have received a new stock of springfashion patterns.

Honored guests at the tea will be members of Chi Phi, Psi Upsi- lon, Sigma Delta Tau, Wenley House and Jordan Hall. and gabardine suiting to filmy or- gandy may be purchased. Print- ed cottons and silks, pique, broad- cloth, chambray, faille and rayon have proven to be favorite fabrics in past years. * * * PATTERNS today are easy to follow and even the coed with lit- tle sewing ability can turn out an, almost professional looking gar- ment-and at about half the cost. One of the main concerns in picking out a design will be to choose one which is suitable. The button-front dress has pro- ven its practicality because it is easily laundered. Striped materials, especially in cool colors such as blue and green, are slimming as well as "sum- mery." Open necked dresses tied with a soft bow of matching fab- ric will affect a V-shaped 'line. LINEN OR chambray will make a simply cut dress with scalloped collar and pockets which may be worn to classes. For travelling or theater wear, a sophisticated button-down- the-side fashion is appropriate. The collar is high and buttoned at the side and the design is sleeveless. Puckered cutton, which requires no ironing, may be made into a low-necked, V-cut, sleeveless par- ty outfit. * * * A BRAND-NEW cotton cloth woven to look tucked all over is suggested for a square-necked sun dress with a short-sleeved waist- length bolero. Two other styles which allow for sun tanning are the print halter dress with bolero and the round- neck back-wrapped creation which closes with a low V-back and three buttons below the waist. Spring formal woes may be al- leviated by making a drifting eve- ning dress of silk organza. A tri- angular midriff front with shirred bodice and high back with a straight-cut across the neckline is suggested. 115 Libe OPEN 8:30-5:30 DAILY minimum 50C Read and Use Daily Classifieds r I A LAUN -RY SERVICE 12c.each additional pound All your clothing laundered, FLUFF DRIED and NEATLY FOLDED LOW EXTRA CHARGE- for finishing these articles SH I RTS, additional ...... ....17c (Full dress shirts and silk or wool sport shirts slightly higher) HANDKERCHIEFS ........... 3c SOX pr .. . .. ... .. .. . ... .. . .. 3c just Phone 23-123 Varsity Laundry will PICK UP and DELIVER for men ,tndle I West rty St. NTow.. ! : f i.
