Many of the skirts and blouses can be bought separately, but have been carefully color-match- ed to appear as a dress when worn together. Match-mates can also be found in nylon, wool and cashmere sweaters. A boon to the coed's ironing problem are the new gypsy skirts and "dark fall cottons" which need little care. They are gaily full skirts made with two rows of gathering guaranteed to eliminate ironing. The dark cottons are also made of crease-resistant materials to save time and money. A greater variety of colors is now available in sailcloth play- clothes, which can be worn year 'round. Once considered strictly a working costume, the new sail- cloth separates have been dressed up with novel twists, such as the Eisenhower-jacket style and huge s|other-of-pearl buttons scattered about generously. The sailcloth is available in bright hues of green, blue, red, yellow, orange, brown, purple and also comes in black' and light blue. Denim, too, has been dressed up, almost beyond recognition. A full white evening denim skirt, decorated with three huge wild fishes, reminiscent of the popu- lar felt skirts, and a scoop-necked pastel denim evening blouse make a striking combination. Fall versions of the collegiate "boy" shirt blouses are being shown in short and long sleeves with man-tailoring touches. They come in all sorts of striped, polka- dot, plaid, prints and plain de- signs. Tight-legged toreador pants and bermuda shorts have also grown extremely popular with college women. Pedal-pushers and jeans are worn to picnics, wiener roasts and games, too.

Homecoming Work About the first week in October, student carpenters will be busy with hammers, saws; boards, and paper-mache in preparation for the judging of the now traditional homecoming displays. Each year the men's and wom- en's residence halls and fratern- ities and sororities on campus con- struct a display to signify in some way the strength or victory of the "Michigan" team over the visiting team for that particular game. The opposing team isn't always from the same school, and it may be a conference or non-conference game. Student designers pick and use the school colors of the "ene- my" together with the Univer- sity's maize and blue, in bold, bright colors. The teams' "nick- name," such as the "Woverines" for Michigan, is also used to ad- vantage in the displays. Most of the work is kept under cover until the morning of the homecoming game, and then it is brought out into the open and the campus is dotted with exhibits. Trophies First, second and third place trophies are awarded to the three best displayst inthe men's divi- sion and the three most outstand- ing in the women's division. Hon- orabley mentions are also given. The displays are judged on origin- ality, appropriateness, artistic de- sign, neatness and execution. This year the homecoming game will be the Minnesota-Michigan game on Saturday, October 23, which is the traditional rivalrous game for the "little brown jug" that dates back to 1903. "WISHFUL THINKING"-Members of last year's Homecoming Committee are doing some "wishful thinking" in hopes of getting the traditional "Little Brown Jug" back in the University show- case at the Union. The game will be played October 23. CHARLESTON CREW-Any student can learn to dance the Charleston like this. The League sponsors dance classes which are taught for beginners and advanced persons, as well as for stu- dents attending in couples or alone.

If offers the women who want training in or- ganization and opportunity for ser- vice to the University community, a chance to express themselves. Through these experiences at the League, qualities of leadership are developed that should assist wom- en in becoming leaders in civic and national affairs after they leave college.

Cottons and skirts and blouses are appropri- ate dress for coeds for the first few games, with sweaters, heavy woolens, stadium boots and color- ful blankets in order for the end of the season. I Try FOLLETT'S First I Coming from Philadelphia, Miss Landers "loves music and partici- pates in hockey, tennis, golf and swimming" during her spare time. This summer she has been work- ing in the cathology. laboratory of a hospital. By MAGGI BOYLE Homecoming seems to be the forgotten holiday as far as historians are concerned. Old records indicate that the traditional Saturday football game, with dance following it, the dis- plays and all .that goes with home- coming as the students know it now, dated as far back as 1897.. Then the alumni came back to the University to play the varsity team. Beyond those facts, the why and wherefore of the event is a mystery. IFO Alumni Association officials have expressed thebelief that the Inter- Fraternity Council has had some- thing to do with its beginning. An old issue of The Daily stated the IFC formerly established the of- ficial annual Homecoming Day in 1933. Officials at the IFC office seem to think that it may have grown out of the old Founders Day, a day when graduates affiliated with campus fraternities came back to College FGshiofls For Fail " $ USED BOOKS at "BARGAIN PRICES WELCOME TO THE CLASS OF 1958 AND FORMER STUDENTS VISIT US FOR ALL YOUR NEEDED ACCESSORIES 0 BATES BEDSPREADS & DRAPES 0 DRESSER SCARFS B LAUNDRY BAGS O SHOE BAGS * SMALL THROW RUGS * BATH TOWELS & WASH CLOTHS *DBLANKETS 9 SHEETS & PILLOW CASES Mademoiselle .Wra qitte Picks Thenm ia'pti Wlle Has Them.I Those yummy campus fashions for fall ... you saw them in Mademoiselle Maga- zine-you'll find, them exclusively at MARTI WALKER, the campus fashion shop at U. of M.
