DRESS OF THE WEEK Seeking the best representative of the typical, day-by-day school going dress, the fashion force sur veyed the campus scene yesterday and selected something more so phisticated than Sloppy Joe, smoother than saddle shoes and knee-high socks. Criterion for class clothes, we decided, was "trim yet feminine and well-tail ored." The "find" was of crepe in a soft, mellow, beige-gold, cut in lines of what is being called "the softer shirtwaist." Trim "waist, a pair of pockets below the shoul der, where the short sleeves were gathered fully, and a small collar sound simple enough, but the skirt! the skirt was stitched all around into many, many sleek, small pleats. Sole contrast: a sash-like belt of deep brown crushed leather, and leather buttons up the front of the same color. As our judging committee saw it, the dress was draped on Jeanne Craig, an arts and science fresh man. Jeanne has dark hair and eyes, skin with a deep glow which was heightened by the dress. In buying her clothes, she likes to stick to "simple things." She be longs to Pi Beta Phi. AWS president addresses frosh Second meeting of Freshman A. W. S. was held yesterday after noon in Ellen Smith hall. Virginia Clemans, president of the Asso ciated Women Students, spoke to the group on the function and pur pose of the organization. Freshman A. W. S. meetings are open to all freshman women. They are held on the ag campus in the home economics building at 4 p. m. and"on city campus in Ellen Smith hall at 5 p. m. every Thursday.

He is founder and secretary general of the American Guild for German Cultural Freedom, is a member of the Catholic Centre party, the Reichsbanner Black-Red-Gold, and was one of the or ganizers of Republican Youth. For a time he was an editorial writer for the Berliner Tageblatt and the Vossische Zeitung. Convocation (Continued From rage 1.) These people came seeking adven ture, escaping oppression, famine, army service, ami saw in America a land of opportunity and refuge. This immigration of the last hundred years broukf. in a dozen new religions, fifty new languages, and hundreds of new dialects," Adamic declared. He explained that the new people who did not settle in foreign sections of the great cities went on the land. Ne braska received its share of Ger mans, Poles, and Bohemians, who became "sturdy citizens." All these immigrants tended to settle in ser tain sections where their fellow countrymen were already located. All of the engineering works of this time were constructed partly by immigrant labor. We don't realize opportunities. The lecturer believes that most of us are unaware of our oppor tunities to create culture from these heterogeneous peoples. "It is TAKE IT FROM A MAN Yea veri ly, for she hath the 'makings7 of a charming girl by Paul Svoboda. The quality of charm is not strained. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath. It is twice blessed. It blesseth him that giveth and him that receiveth. Shakespeare saith something like this a long time ago but he was talking about mercy. We talketh, in case you haven't no ticed, about charm. This double edged blessing evidenceth itself no better than in any sorority dorm or anything above the first floor. Those of us who have entered this no man's land on pretext of replacing blown fuses or other subter-fuses have been "shocked" high time that we take stock of our resources, and try to combine them or Americans will feel less at home In America and the Amer ican dream will become a night mare," he warned. to find those lovely pieces of femi ninity with whom we danced only a few hours before now an oily mess of creams and lotions and nightmarish hairdo's. All for the sake of charm. Thus benefiteth the women. But how doth Cecil College clip coupons on charm? Verily, I say unto you, he reapeth harvests of female vanity. For 'tis because of his presence that the charm cup of women overfloweth and he is able to sup upon the sparing drops that the frugal woman freeth. Clothes do a lot for charm but as one bright lad once puteth it, clothes maketh the woman what she is but not as she should be. Ah, but the artifices of woman! She taketh off nature's gift of eyebrows and replaces therewith a sweeping line of brownish paint. She coloreth the lip with ruby red and her prints are used against (See WOMEN, page 4.) 'Y' extends drive until October 24 The Y. W. C. A. has extended its membership drive until Tuesday, October 24. The members of the membership committee urge women students to become mem bers of the Y. W. C. A. and to help support that organization.
