Approximately 35 coeds will
model their own creations at a
style show for home ec students
and their gucbts in the Ag cafe
teria tonight at 8:00. The coeds
are members of both the begin
nine and advanced home ec
classes.
The clothes range from casual
jumpers and skirts thru sophis
ticated date dresses.
Outstanding among the casual
dresses is a navy blue jumper
combined with a navy and white
blouse worn by Helen Wulf. It
makes an ideal class outfit. An
other eyecatcher is Ruth Peter's
gay cotton plaid dirndl definite

at Wilmington, Del.
r This is one of the thirty-five
postgraduate fellowships oiierea
at 29 universities, which is an
increase of 13 over previous years
and for the first time includes
two fellowships in physics, re

in chemical engineering and 28
in chemistry.
Plans Change
Two changes have been made
in the fellowship plan this year.
First, where tuition rates differ,
the company is paying the tuition
in addition to the stipend. And
second, the amount of the stipend
has been increased from $750 to
$1,000. Women as well as men are
eligible, and selection of the re

Taffeta and Peplums.
The most unusual of the date
dresses is that of Carol Garver.
The pencil-slim black skirt is
topped with a black, green and
fushia plaid taffeta blouse. A
large bow of the same material
ornaments the neckline, and tiny
cuffs edge the bracelet length
sleeves. Here's Marilyn Green's
clever idea on how to make a
dress versatile: Make the peplum
and neck ruffles detachable. Her
dress is black with a coachman's
peplum and narrow white ruffles
trimming the square neckline.
Peplums and the bustle effect are
predominant among the date
dresses. Edith Brown's rust drees
with a deftly draped bodice adds
back interest with a bustle bow.
The Ag cseds have a collection
of smooth, smart clothes, and they
did it all by themselves.

Says
Tedesco
"After six decades of develop
ment, the Pan-American policy
has at last reached its climax,"
declared Dr. Manoah Leide-Te-desco,
foreign relations authority,
at a convocation Wednesday
morning.
Emphasizing that the Good
Neighbor policy is not a "fashion
able movement" but a vital front
in the world war today, Dr. Te
desco took his audience on an
imaginary tour of the Latin Amer
ican nations surrounding the
Caribbean sea.
To give his listeners an insight
into the true cultural unity of the
western hemisphere. Dr. Tedesco
presented an analysis of the sa
lient features of each nation as
they are related to the United
States. Using the recent revolu
tion in Panama as an example, he
explained the seeming instability
of South ' American governments
and warned against acceptance
of the current "revolution in the
making" concept of Latin poli
tics. Praises Citizens.
In praise of the perseverance
and skill of the citizens of Hon

according to word from Theater
director Dallas S. Williams.
"Satisfactorily?" wailed Ailis

when this play opens I'll be

that the part of Sabina the maid
requires a great deal of vocal ex

E. F. DuTeau, national secre

"In 1909 it was the 18th univei

Association of American univer

and in a comparatively small
metropolitan area. It achieved a
position of eminence despite li

prestige to the state. Academical

credit to the state. It has re

university that is truly of its
people.
"On the eve of its 76th birth

citizenship, of stands which

The article, which stresses the

which seventeen college women

suit, then again in a monstrosi'--of
