At the close of the program, new

Gym-Jams, Planned
Continuing the year's program, the
WAA will sponsor two rec rallies.
Gym-Jams are scheduled for Nov.
22 and March 21 at Barbour Gym-
nasium and will be open to the en-
tire campus. Stags or couples may
play volleyball, badminton, ping-
pong, quoits, bridge, and shuffle
board or participate in either old-
fashioned square dancing or modern
ballroom dancing.
Interhouse tournaments are also
carried on during the year. Every
house enters teams in the volley-
ball, basketball and softball all-cam-
pus playoffs. Volleyball games will
begin Sept. 30, basketball on Dec. 2
and softball on April 14.
The house which has the highest
participation in athletics is awarded
the Participation Cup at Lantern
Night, held annually in May. Scores
are based on the percentage of in-
dividual and team sports participa-
tion for each house, and on the suc-
cess which teams and individuals
have had in interhouse competition.
Kappa Kappa Gamma holds the Cup
this year.
Lantern Night Explained
Lantern Night is the annual
women's sing contest held either at
Palmer Field or in Hill Auditorium,
PRESIDENT JEAN BROWN
depending on the weather. The
event, in which 30 women from every
organized women's residence com-
pete, is preceded by a line of march
led by the University Marching Band.
Senior women wear caps and gowns
and carry lanterns. Helen Newberry
was awarded first place in the sing
last year for the second consecutive
time.
This year marks the reversion of
the WAA to its prewar schedule. The
schedule will be divided into four sea-
sons, so that more women will be
able to participate in an increased
number of activities..

Women Attend
"Vital' Forum
EDITOR'S NOTE: The following "mas-
te iece" was written by a member of
the Daily sports staff who prefers to re-
main anonymous. The outburst came as
a result of an over the shoulder glance
at the college issue of a well known
women's magazine.
"MISSMATRIMONIALBAIT," the
magazine for stupid young women,"
recently conducted its annual College
Forum to bring into focus for the
college woman, the most vital of
peacetime problems - the college
man.
For months, MJSSMATRIMON-
IALBAIT had been planning its
Forum, (to Reader Anasthasia
Zilch: Forum is not a derivative of
Forumal). The war was over at last
New and challenging problems, but
not college men, followed. The
campus was changing overnight
into a controversial buzz about
lasting nylons, internationally edu-
cated (the ones who whistle in 4
languages) men, and their pro-
curement.
Young people everywhere were
breaking out in a rash of challeng-
ing queries, such as: "If you can't
make it Friday, how about Satur-
day?"
MISSMATRIMONIALBAIT took
the campus pulse, and couldn't help
noticing the stunning assortment of
exquisitely designed wrist watches
cunningly blended into perfect har-
mony with milady's summer apparel.
MISSMATRIMONIALBAIT felt
the delicious throb of indecision
and decided to bring together a
group of young women, (something
that proved nearly impossible until
someone suggested bringing a
group of young men along) to par-
ticipate in a discussion of ways
and means to bring about the re-
subjugation of the returning male
after his 3 or 4 years of freedom.
After a lengthy four-hour discus-
sion in which nothing was accom-
plished, the Forum recessed for lunch.
The need for another session was
eliminated when the Forum mem-
bers were caught in a traffic, the
cause of which, as they soon discov-
ered, was one young lady neaty at-
tired in an extremely tight fitting
yellow sweater.

SHE KNOWS THE SECRET OF A'
COLLINS WELL-PLANNED WARDROBE
Every girl knows how important a couple of COLLINS
wool classic dresses are for school, for afternoon dates
and "Rushing."
She knows how essential a COLLINS colorful basic
skirt is to her wardrobe-whether she prefers plains or
plaids she loves to change it by adding a beautiful COL-
LINS sweater one day, or a bunny soft Angora the next.
She knows an impeccably tailored suit is a "must"
in her wardrobe. A suit than can be dressed up with a
sequin studded scarf and kidskin gloves or "down" with
a tailored blouse and pigskin" gloves. "With those early
football games in mind."
And of course for her "big moments" she has a basic
date dress that sparkles aglow with her Eisenberg jewelry.
These and her Coats, Jackets, and all the accessories
necessary to make a College girl happy can be found at
COLLINS, headquarters for the correct college clothes.
