Various Parties Scheduled For First April Weekend
Students attended the last midweek of the year last night, many went to the play "Distinguished Service," and the rest seemed to flock to the shows. Tonight interested and curious students may walk downtown to see the displays by the stores in the Annual Spring Window Unveiling, which will show new
trends in new clothes. A crowd of more than 5,000 is expected.
March this year stuck to the old saying "Comes in like a lion, goes out like a lamb." The first of April even seems a bit cooler than the last few days of the unpredictable March. Coeds are wondering now if they will have any time at all to wear spring clothes—it looks like the fashion will be from coats to shirt sleeves, from galoshes to hurachies, and slacks to shorts.
The approaching weekend seems to promise many activities. Tomorrow night there are parties at the Methodist church and Watkins hall. For Saturday night the Jay Hop dance is scheduled, and the Kappa freshmen have planned a party.

The "University Mother's Day," which has been an annual celebration for several years, has been canceled as a University function this year, Marie Miller, assistant to the adviser of women, said today. It was pointed out, however, that some of the organized houses will carry out their own Mother's Day celebrations.
The "University Mother's Day" usually occurred during the month of May, and a committee worked out a program of dinners and entertainment. Last year the event took place on May 2.

Three Jobs
Coeds not Frail To Work
By Collegiate Press
Currently the young women are doing man's work, woman's work and the work of college students— a combination they'll tell you most decidedly is no job for the frail. They are Barbara Jenswold and Gloria Nishon.
Each works 54 hours a week in a war factory, studies a course involving 16 hours of classwork alone and does half the housekeeping in the apartment they share.
"As for our social life today," says Barbara, "it's nil. We've figured
April Brings Ideas For Spring Fashions
out there are two hours of leisure left each week. Those two hours are spent trying to get our hands clean and in attending a movie once in two weeks."
The girls were the first women to work in the shop of a local grinder company.
With April upon us, it is time to think seriously of spring and spring clothes. March days were warm at the last, giving students a taste of what is to come, and everyone pulled out old spring clothes or wrote home for them. This spring the fashions necessarily will be simpler and fewer, for as the war is in the second year and more and more material is needed to cloth the
Dinner-Dance For Pharmacists
A dinner-dance, sponsored by Kappa Psi and Kappa Epsilon, for faculty and students of the School of Pharmacy will be held on Friday, at 6:30 p.m., April 16, in the Kansas room of the Union building. A short after-dinner program has been arranged.

Advice to Coeds
There are a great many "I don't know," and "Maybe, but I am not sure," gals trippinggaily through this world. These are the coeds who cannot say no when a young man seeks a date, despite the fact they do not wish his company.
They either make dates and break them at the last minute with excuses that are time-worn and familiar, or double their dates in the hope they can unload the first date before meeting the party of the second part of the evening. Erequently in the latter case a traffic snarl develops.
A suggestion for such young ladies to tell the truth or take the consequences, Miss Helen Markel says:
"If you don't want him now, you won't want him next week, or six months after the war. If you're saving him for a rainy day, he'll still be a washout. So why stall? You have nothing to lose except the last links in a pretty frayed stagline. You will save wear and tear on your nervous system. To say nothing of your reputation.
"If you don't want him, say so. It's so easy, too, once you get the hang of it. Just a simple declarative sentence the next time he asks for a date. It is guaranteed that you will feel like a new woman."

armed forces, superfluous clothing must be cut down.
Slacks will play a major role in fashions this year—they are useful as well as smart. Slacks are ideal to dig in the victory gardens, for hiking and horseback riding, for working, and even for entertaining. A variety of materials go into slacks—wool gabardine and cordnuey to silk rayon.
New spring neckwear has unlimited possibilities. Dickies, collars, cuffs, fascinators, fuchsia, and bows in varied colors with lace, embroidery, and borders make over a suit, a plain dress, or coat. The different soft materials make this neckwear cool as well as becoming.
More and more leg makeup is being used, chiefly because sheer hose is almost an impossibility to buy. Soon enough sun tan can take the place of leg makeup, and it won't be long before coeds will be sunbathing in various spots on the campus, preferably secluded. Hose will be discarded until next fall, when the worry over stockings will have calmed down somewhat. Coeds have only to be thankful that they don't have to wear hose like older women do.
In all types of clothing the accessories are being stressed this year to conserve material. Unique buttons are on the market to change old dresses. Hats, gloves, and bags are
