New Fall Program -
Fall orientation will follow a
new program set up this year by
a four-member Orientation Study
Committee.
The Committee plans to start a
summer orientation session to in-
clude some 1200 freshmen who live
within a 250-mile radius of Ann
Arbor.
The program will extend over
a six week period and keep each
student at the University for two
days. He will take tests, pay fees,
receive counseling and register.
Two men and two women will
be interviewed by University offi-
cials for the summer leaders at a
later date. They will be required
to spend six weeks at the Univer-
sity and will each be paid $250.
The first two days of fall orien-
tation will cover all freshmen who
didn't come for the summer ses-
sion, says Linda Green chairman
of Women's Orientation Commit-
tee..
Social Orientation
The rest of the period will be de-
voted to social orientation, she
continues. Leaders will introduce
newcomers to the University with
its different extra curricula activ-
ities and will explain the part they,
can play in each.
Women who have questions
about the new program, may con-
tact Orientation Committee mem-
bers in the League undergraduate
office or call Miss Green at 4016
Stockwell Hall.
PEARLS TO DIAMONDS:
Precious Stones Reveal Significant Meaning
Diamonds are sparkling on that
significant left finger and future
June brides are anxiously await-
ing the month of June.
The importance of certain pre-
cious stones is difficult to over-
look, especially the diamond,
which is April's birthstone and
symbolizes innocence.
Attributed to the sun as its gem
of light, the diamond inspired
even primitive people to a new be-
lief in the existence of an un-
quenchable flame and of incon-
querable virtue. As far back as the
history of the diamond can be
traced, this symbol of innocence
has been. appropriate as a sign
of plighted troth.
Gem Fortunes
Except in India, the home of
fabulous gem stone fortunes, the
diamond was once reserved for
kings and emperors. Many of the
world's greatest diamonds, their
histories surrounded by legend
and intrigue, are now set in
crowns and royal services.
The Cullinan collection, for in-
stance, cut from the largest dia-
mond ever found, is now part of
the British crown jewels. Other
valuable diamonds, such as the
Great Mogul and the Mattan,
have mysteriously vanished.
Diamonds are crystallized car-
bon and, chemically, they are the
simplest of all gems . . , yet the
hardest substance known to lnan.
A fine diamond is as clear in color
as a drop of the purest water,
World Supply
Those diamonds which are en-
tirely suffused with color, such
as deep blue, pink, violet, green
and red, are very rare. Africa sup-
plies the world with diamonds.
Although the diamond is of-
fered as a sign of "plighted troth,"

considered a love stone. The emer-

Health and Longevity
June is the month of the pearl,
the alexandrite and the moon-
stone- all signifying health and
longevity.
The pearl has been described as
one of the most exquisite of gems.
Long before they realized what it;
was, the ancients were enchanted
by its delicate beauty and lovely
sheen. With more imagination
than science, they decided that
pearls, were created when dew
drops were caught in an oyster

Labor Depart ent SuErveY Reveals
mp ta cofCoe ds' 1ofEducaton

ot.
The question of the importance-
of a college education for coeds,
which was once regarded as a
waste of time, is now taken for
granted. I
Today we see an increasing
number taking the advantages of
a college education, according to
a report from the Institute of Life
Insurance.
Back of this increase is the big
population change that has oc-
curred since the end of World War
II. It narrows down to a lot of
child en who will soon be compet-
ing for an education at various
colleges In the next decade or so,
it appears that dur youngsters
will outpace even the most inten-
sive plans for college expansion.
College-Bound Coeds
With pressure developing be-
cause of increased enrollment,
college-bound coeds may have to
step aside in favor of men, since
men are the prospective bread-
winners of future families. A col-
lege education has become a
necessity for them in order to earn
an adequate living for their wives
and children. This pressure is
likely to become more acute due
to the rising costs of college.
One of the overwhelming finan-
cial questions facing parents is the
cost of putting their children
through college. Many parents,
realizing this burden before their
youngster first begins donning his
freshman beanie, begin planning
for college funds.
F u n d s accumulated through
stocks, bonds, insurance and com-
pany savings accounts aid parents
in their long-range plans for col-
-lege.
Some people say that since most
girls get married sooner or later
and become busy raising families,
they fail to see the value of a col-
lege degree for them.
Survey Report
The answer to this argumentt
comes from a report compiled by
a group of women college gradu-
ates. Not long ago the Women's
Bureau of the United States labor
department asked several thou-
sand college women about them-
selves.
According 'to the survey four-
fifths of the women were working
at jobs in which they have been
trained. Thus the popularity of
secretarial training schools has
reached new heights.
Only a minority, said the survey,
was interested in a career. How-
ever the career women trend is
becoming even more promising as
more fields open their doors to the
"weaker sex."
Temporary Employment
Almost half of the women inter-
viewed said that they considered
paid employment as a temporary
activity between school and mar-
riage.
As far as these women are con-
cerned, it seems that a college
education, is something to be de-
sired because it is valuable in its
owia right -not just because it
can lead to a job and a business
career
The women emphasized the use-
fulness of their college experience
in helping them in their present
,or future roles as housewife or
mother. -
Community Contributions
Within half a year after gradua-
tion, these women were already
making worthwhile contributions
to their community, according to
the report.' They found nearly
three-quarters of all the women
active in an organized group.
Stated the report: "In their
roles as workers, homemakers and
citizens, the recent women gradu-
ates were undertaking adult re-
sponsibilities. They were turning
their special skills, their trained
minds, to the service of society,
as well as to the fulfillment of
their individual aims."
