Delta Delta local scholarship are
due at 5 p.m. tomorrow in the
Office of the Dean of Women.
The $120 scholarship will be
awarded to any junior woman that

now, who is working towards a
B.A. degree, who shows evidence of
superior citizenship, has the fi-
nancial. need and has at least a
2.86 average to date at the Uni-

S* * *
THIS SCHOLARSHIP is not to
be confused with the general
scholarship, open to all women
students on campuses where there
are Tri-Delta chapters. The local
schsolarship will be awarded to a
University of Michigan junior,
only.
Scholarship awards are made
annually, usually in the spring,
with the cooperation of the Dean
of Women's Office. Made up of
contributions from the alliance
and local collegiate chapter, gifts
to the scholarship fund are
matched by the national Delta
Delta Delta dollar for dollar.
Iota, the local chapter of Delta
Delta Delta, obtains the majority
of its funds through the annual
benefit bridge, given last Saturday,
which is put on for the alliance,
alumnae and friends, and the tra-
ditional spring musicale,
THE DELTA Delta Delta Com-
mittee on Awards will again be the
sole judge of the respective merits
of the applicants, with the sug-
gestions and approvals from the
Dean of Women's Office and the
local chapter.
Successful candidates will be no-
tified before school is out in June,
and the scholarships will be award-
ed to them at the beginning of the
term for which the awards are
granted.
Application blanks are still avail-
able at the Office of the Dean
of Women, 1514 Administration
Building.
Located in Union
Students desiring a ride home
or to the vacation spot of their
choice may still seek aid at the
Union's free Travel Service.
This service, conveniently locat-
ed in the main lobby of the Union,
endeavors to match up students
wanting rides and those desiring
passengers, to the mutual advan-
tage of both.
Blue driver cards and red rider
cards are provided for thie students
to fill out. They are filed alpha-
betically according to the state as
soon as they are received.
The cards are matched immed-
iately after the necessary number
of riders for a driver is obtained.
The Travel Service then contacts
the driver, so that he may call his
prospective riders.
The driver is asked to inform the
service if he has the correct num-
ber of passengers. This is requir-
ed in order to avoid matching one
rider with more than one driver.
A map has been placed above the
counter of the Travel Service so
that drivers and riders may tell at
once what cards are already in.
In this way they may easily deter-
mine their relative chances.
