Local stores are featuring cot-
tons this spring that are suitable
for all sorts of occasions from
sports events to the most dressy
parties.
A complete ensemble for sport
and casual wear is included in one
designer's collection.
* * *
THE OUTFIT is made of a fine-
screened cotton, printed to look
like tweed and processed so it
never needs ironing. It has been
made into a full skirt, little-boy
shorts and a plain sleeveless blouse
that' ties in a sailor's knot at the
neck.
Also in the collection is a blue
and white butterfly printed
dress with slim shoulder straps.
The dress turns into a bloomer
suit when the skirt is removed.
For the golf enthusiast, manu-
facturers are showing smart dress-
es with action sleeves and backs.E
These come in stripes, checks and
solid colors and have caps to
match.
LOCAL STORES are showing a
sleeveless top and full skirt of un-
pressed pleats made of striped cot-
ton shirtings for casual wear.
A light blue sleeveless dress
with a Peter Pan collar and
tucked bodice and a bright yel-
low dress with a scoop neck-
line spiked with white are also
being shown.c

iations are popular this year. OneC

On How T
By MARILYN MILLER
As Commencement and summer
vacation approach, coeds becorne
concerned with securing perman-
ent and temporary employment.
A proper method of conducting
such a campaign includes interest
and enthusiasm in the work ahead.
When selecting firms at which an
application will be made, one
should not be afraid to use "con-
tacts," because friends and rela-
tives can be very helpful in re-
commending one for a position.
* * *
ONE MAY also apply at an em-
ployment agency as these estab-
lishments usually have long list-
ings of potential employers. News-
paper advertisements offer many
opportunities, as well as the Bur-
eau of Appointments in the Ad-
ministration Building.
The more firms applied to the
better the chance is of securing
the desired position. When the
list of companies is complete,
one should find the name of the
personnel director or preferably
the department head to whom
the application will be made.
Letters of application are pro-
bably the most important part of
getting a job. One can write in
an individual style because it is
not necessary to follow well-known
forms.
* * *
SOME EMPLOYERS advise
never asking for the job in a letter.
It is better, they say, to request
an interview, giving the employer
a choice of time and date.
All ability and experience
should be listed specifically, A
neatly typewritten letter never
fails to make a good impression
Ion the reader.
Instead of including statistics
and qualifications in the body of
the letter, a data sheet can be
used because it is easier to pick

Coeds Adjourn to Lawns

IT IS recommended that the
coed take a copy of the data sheet
which was included in her letter
so that the employer can be re-
minded of this information.
During the interview an alert,
straightforward manner is ad-
visable. Employers prefer the 4
interview to be a two-way pro-
cess, and usually encourage the
applicant to ask questions, be-
cause it indicates a genuine in-
terest in the job.
The employee should be clear
as to the duties, in order to decide
whether the job is one she will be
capable of undertaking and en-
joying. When going into the in-
terview, she should have some idea
of the prevailing rates in the field
so that the salary can be discussed
fairly.
When a job is not taken, it is
a good idea to write the employ-
er a note thanking him for the
interview in order to be remember-
ed favorably. If the job is secur-
ed, however, one should live up
to the employer's expectations and
learn the work so well as to be-
come invaluable.

It's a lucky old sun that shines
these days on the Michigan cam-
pus as the coeds gather their
blankets and suntan lotions in an
attempt to use their free after-
noons to capture the much desired
golden tan.
Strolling by the women's dorms,
walkers can see numbers of coeds
stretched out on colorful blankets,
attired in bathing suits or halters
and shorts.

THE SUNBATHERS, perhaps to
soothe a guilty conscience, take
books along with cards and port-
able radios outdoors with them.
Strains of music are heard every-
where, but the books remain un-
opened.
More important to the sun
worshippers than "timespend-
ers" is the choice of a sun lotion,
Many students prefer the wel-
known commercial products, while
others use their own concoctions
or none at all. One of the favor-
ite home-made lotions is the baby
oil and iodine or salt water solu-
tions.

EASIER TO acquire and use
is cocoa butter. Leda Cosmenco,
'56, says, "it is the best thing for
suntans because it is a substance
closest to the natural oil of the
skin, and also it smells nice. It
really keeps your skin from dry-
ing,"
Other devices for regulating
the sun's effects are the reflec-
tors used by the coeds. Dark
glasses, cotton pads, reflectors
made out of cardboard and the
commercial plastic cup-eye-
shades, are all employed.
Bathing caps are used to keep
the sun worshippers hair from dry-
ing out. However, one of the
women's accessory manufacturers
has brought out a puckered nylon
cap which the girls use both at
night and at sun time for looking
pretty while the hair it in pin
curls.

COMFORT has also become an
important part of the sun bath-
ing ritual. Old blankets and pil-

lows are seen strewn over the
grass. A favorite position is to
sit facing the sun, leaning against
a building, pole, or tree.
To get the opinions of the
"practitionersr," some of the sun
bathers were interviewed. Bonny
Fidler, '56, an Alice Lloyd resi-
dent, exclaimed, "What do I use
to get a sun tan! Nothing; just
the sun and a bathing suit."
A little more informative, Mar-
ilyn Schwartz, '55, advised the use
of some of the better suntan 10-
tiohs, although she considered salt
water the best thing to use.
Miss Schwartz, who spent her
Christmas vacation in Florida,
is adding to the tan she received
then. "I was the first one on the
beach at nine, and the last one to
leave when the sun went down.
Right now I'm keeping up on my
tan and down on my studies."
A word to the other easily-tan-
ning blondes was given by fair-
haired Paula Limberg who humor-
ously advised, "Just lie. in the sun
ten hours, get burned, and then
you'll peel for the next week.
Seriously, I never spend more than
two hours in the sun at first, get-
ting the first tan gradually."
Why all this fuss over getting
a glowing tan? It might be that
