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.

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.
