After the initial speeches the NANCY FILSTRUP Above is a picture of the Michigan League, center of women's activities on campus. Here in the luxurious ante-rooms are held the meetings of the League Council, the members of which organize and supervise various activities for the University'swomen. Dances open to the entire campus are held each Friday and Sat- urday night during the school year in the League ballroom, and student plays and recitals are presented in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Michigan LeagueIs He adquarters Of.Activities For All Women Classic Clothes Are Suggested For Freshmen "What shall I wear to classes? to football games? on dates?" Clothes is the question for freshman women, and this is a partial answer. Sweaters, sweaters, sweaters, and skirts for school. Pick cardigans or slipovers; pick them plaid or plain; but pick lots-you can't have too many. Vary the schedule with dick- eys and an occasional blouse and you'll have the basis of your college wardrobe. And choose saddle shoes or some other flat-heeled substitute. Union, League Dances Michigan girls dance their week- ends away at the Union or League. That means at least one date dress and high-heeled shoes, comfortable ones. You'll walk wherever you go, and you'll walk back. For campus or for cutting up bring a couple of woolen sport dresses and at least one good suit. You'll wear them and wear them and wear them. and always feel right. Formal dances will be fewer this year and still fewer next. Anything goes, from dinner dresses to very, very. We suggest you bring what you have and spend your time, and mon- ey, on things you'll get more use out of. Good tweeds, for instance, while they are still available. Cold Ann Arbor Winters Ann Arbor winters are cold and rainy. Make your winter coat a warm one and bring a good raincoat too. And mittens and scarves and boots and kerchiefs, no matter what the fellows may think of them. Hats you'll wear to sorority teas and never again at the U. of M. And slacks are fun, but not on campus, please, In general classics are your best bet. Leave the frills for big city life. Make your clothes the kind you can wear' next year and the year after if you have to. You might. Don't forget ankle socks, the more varied the better. Match them up with your sweaters, and invest any extra allowance in more. A good warm ski suit may come in handy around or near Ann Arbor, and at any rate, one can always find use for the jacket. After all this, if you still have money in your pocket, a good wool evening wrap is the thing to in- dulge in.

Scholarships Given Students Qualified women' students in the University are eligible to apply for a number of scholarships and prizes awarded annually for assistance o reward.

Occasionally these are given tc a new student whose credentials are exceptional, but ordinarily they are intended to meet the need of stu- dents who have already made a rec- Student Cabbies Suffer At Every Turn 'En Route' By ROBERTA MANTO "Okay, lady. Show me how to get there." A student cab-driver is talking to his passenger. While waiting for fall classes to begin, he is picking up a little extra money during the hot- weather season. But the cab-driver unfortunately isn't exactly "big- time"-he doesn't know Ann Arbor beyond Angell Hall. He has been cruising down State Street for the last hour, has breathed his fenders between twohcars with- out scraping much of the paint off and he is pleased with himself. A lady waves her handkerchief at him from a corner and he pulls over. She 'gets in and asks him to take her to a street that isn't on the Mp he carries. So he says: "Okay, lady. Show me how to get there." Be Nonchalant This is just one of the problems the student cab-driver must solve. "Once your passenger sees you're afraid of his double chins," the stu- dent cab-driver confided to us, "he orders you around like a poodle on a leash. If you ain't nonchalant, you don't belong in the cab business." "What about tips?" we asked our hero. "Cinch," he said. "You gotta give 'em the bell-boy look sometimes and study the polish off your shoes, but most of the people will tip if you let 'em talk to you." "How's that?" we asked. "Most people are lonely, believe it or Ripley," he said. "Look at it this way. They been working all day and the boss had. a fight with his wife last night. Or they been riding a hot train for ten hours. Put yourself in ,heir place. Wouldn't you be lonely too?" We admitted he had something there. Then we asked the question that first started us asking questions. 'What do you think of college stu- gents as fares?" Student Nonentities "We cabbies don't think of college Students either as fares or as charac- ters," he said. "We usually pick 'em up at night after the Summer Prom 'r something like that and we're in ,he mood to talk to our own class by 'hen. But what do they do, I ask you? "In the first place, they're too tight o tip. In the second place, they cud- Ile in a corner and never pay atten- tion to us. We wouldn't mind it but fhter all we're human beings too and e like to be noticed." We took it he didn't like college 3tudents as fares. Freshman Women Should Provide Now For Future Honors Women may start as early as their freshman year to work for honors for scholastic excellence at the Uni- versity. Membership in Alpha Lambda Del- ta, freshitan honor society for wo- men, is open to students who achieve a record of half A's and half B's in their freshman year.
