Lane Hall To Sponsor Art Exhibit

The Indian art display, formal-
ly opened by President Harlan H.
Hatcher Tuesday at the Lane Hall
Library, presents a varied picture
of art patterns in India, both Pld
and new.
Open from 2 to 9 p.m. today and
tomorrow, the exhibition features
objects contributed by Indian stu-
dents and the Indian Trade Center
in New York.
Oldest of the things shown are
two paintings of the Mughal per-
iod, depicting historical scenes.
Both are estimated to be 500 years
old.
Illustrate Trends
Prints of paintings by Kanu De-
sai and Vilvamangal illustrate
trends in contemporary art.
Several landscapes, done in In-
dia by former student Dilip Jamda,
are also included in the painting
display.
Intricately hand-carved jewel
boxes, vases and religious figur-
ines, done in ivory, occupy a large
section of the exhibition.
Ivory Carvings
Among the religious carvings'
are delicate ivory and sandalwood
renderings of Lord Buddha, Lord
Krishna and the Goddess of
Wealth.
Clay portraits of Mahatma
Gandhi and Lord Buddha also
demonstrate the important reli-
gious influence on Indian art.
Hand-carving has been tradi-
tionally important and the ob-
jects "featured are illustrative of
the kind that have been produced
for centuries. A tiny seed, con-
taining ten smaller, carved ivory
elephants, demonstrates the abili-
ties of the Indian artisans.
Practical Art
Illustrating the more practical
side of artwork, the exhibition has
colorfully striped bedsheets and
tablecloths, practically all hand-
woven, and several pairs of em-
broidered Rajputana shoes.
Colorful hand-made fabrics, done
in cotton and silk, interwoven
with gold and silver thread, are
also shown, some a hundred years
old.
Variations in architecture are
pictured by photographs of the
old sections of India and also the
more modern parts, where West-
ern ideas have been influential.

UP IN THE CLOUDS:
Woman E
By ROSE PERLBERG
When Dorothy Lewis says she's
up in the clouds with her job, she's
not exaggerating,
For the past eight months, pert,
blonde Miss Lewis has been work-
ing as stewardess for a national
airlines.
She entered training last June,
two weeks after graduation from
the University of New Mexico. "I'd
majored in education," the slim
stewardess said, "but somehow I
didn't like the idea of such a rou-
tine job,"
Flights Always Differ
Her flying duties are far from
routine. "One flight is never the
same as another. There are al-
ways new faces, new challenges."
Airlines don't take just any ap-
plicant into their training course.
Miss Lewis described the qualifi-
cations a woman needs:
"I had to be between 20 andi

to like and if you're not suited
for it," she shrugged and smiled,
"it really shows."
Most of all, Miss Lewis enjoys
being able to make people happy'
and comfortable.
Helps Passengers
Many people who get on the
plane are worried, perhaps an-
noyed about something or gener-
ally in a bad mood. It's our job
to divert their minds and help
them to enjoy at least this much
of their trip.
"You have to exert yourself,"
she admits, "but the satisfaction
gained makes it really worthwhile."
Like all others, Miss Lewis' job
has its ups and downs. And the
"downs" come in the form of the
hours. She has a contract that
says she can fly an 85 hour a
month maximum. But in the
smaller print the fact is empha-
sized that these 85 hours must be
measured from when the engines
are turned on until they are turned
off.
Gets Some Compensation
"That's why stewardess' faces
always grow longer when a plane
is delayed several hours," the vi-
vacious blonde laughed. "How-
ever, we do get some compensa-
tion for the time we spend with
our passengers when the plane is
not in actual flight," she added.
On the more attractive side of
the pay scale, Miss Lewis men-

to 5 feet 8 inches tall, weigh be-
tween 100 and 135 pounds and have

fl, e ,O1'tj"I also had to pass a rigid phy-
sical examination, which included
having 20-40 vision," the attrac-
tive stewardess said, "as well as

tioned that stewardesses receive
expense money to pay hotel bills
and other extras when away from
home base.
Aside from the experience of
meeting persons from all over the
world in all walks of life, many
would-be stewardesses are attract-
ed by the traveling aspect.
Join-See the World
"In our profession the maxim
'Join-and see the world' is truly
applicable,". Miss Lewis declared.
She remarked that women can
change bases every six months be-
fore the work begins to get' bor-
ing.
Miss Lewis' flight run is far from
reaching the state of boredom for
her. When she says, "We enjoyed
having you with us. Come back
soon," one feels that she really
means it.
Scholarship
Applications for the Student
Activities Scholarship given by
SGC can be picked up tomor-
row at Quonset Hut A or 113
Administration Building.
A total of $450 will be award-
ed to students on the basis of
participation in campus acti-
vities and financial need. Ap-
plicants must have at least a
2.5 scholastic average to be eli-
gible for these scholarships.

The centennial and pledge formal of Theta Chi is also being
held that evening. A picnic will be held in the afternoon; dinner
will be served at the Golden Apples Room, and the formal dance will
be at the League with Hal Singer playing.
Roman Toga Party
The popular Roman toga party is also being planned by two
fraternities for tomorrow. Phi Sigma Kappa and Delta Sigma Pi
will convert their respective houses into Roman villas with appropriate
furnishings.
From Rome, the scene switches to Italy and particularly Vienna.
There, Alpha Delta Phi will hold their pledge formal, "Moonlight in
Vienna." Gondolas will dominate the scene and waiters will be
dressed as the drivers. Charles Hatset will provide music for dancing.
Taking advantage of this beautiful spring weather, Chi Phi and
Sigma Kappa will have a picnic tomorrow afternoon. Alpha Epsilon
Pi is also moving outdoors for a party in the form of a barbeque.
However, a little work by the couples attending will be expected, as
this is also. a Michigras float-building party.
Deserts of Arabia
Two members of the Four Freshmen will be at Phi Kappa Psi's
dance also being held tomorrow evening. The setting will be the
deserts of Arabia and the music will be by John Hodges and his Band.
Tau Delta Phi is planning their annual Tau Delta She party
for this weekend. The men's dates will go through Hell week, ini-
tiation, and various other rituals during the course of the evening.
However, they will have the opportunity of pulling pledge pranks. The
penalities for pulling these pranks weren't revealed though.
If anyone feels like relaxing and taking it easy, Phi Kappa Tau
has the perfect party, "The Sloppy Party" Costumes are just what
the title suggests-sloppy. Records will provide the music and an easy.

Will Attend 'Mikado'
Since the "Mikado" is being presented this weekend by the Gil-
bert and Sullivan Society, men of Kelsey house and their dates will
attend tomorrow night's performance and then return to South Quad
for an informal dance.
Gangsters and their molls will be seen lurking at Triangle fraterni-
ty just before their "Slumming It" party, The inside of the house
will be decorated to resemble a Michigan Avenue dive in Chicago.
"Swing your partner and do-si-do" will be heard coming from
Allen Rumsey house at their square dance tomorrow evening. How-
ever, the noise from the Delta Sigma Phi house won't be so promin-

The cheerful stewardess is very
enthusiastic about her profession.
"I wouldn't trade the experience

says earnestly, blue eyes shining.
