Campus picnickers have definite ydecided that the odds are against them, and if they are ever to have perfect days for outings and steakfrys, they will have to catch the weather man napping.

Organized groups on the Hill closed their social season this weekend. Delta Chi's entertained their guests at a formal dance at the chapter house Friday night with Dale Brodie's band furnishing the musical element. Spring flowers decorated the house and punch was served to dancers out of doors. Pi Kappa Alpha's and their dates danced under Japanese lanterns to the music of Clyde Smith and his band. Spring flowers and willow branches entwined on lattice work surrounded the walls of the dancing room of the chapter?

For hot summer days when it's almost a commandment to look cool and fresh, linen is the answer. This creation is a crushless suit of pale oyster beige, adorned with gold buttons and huge pockets.
Pre-Marital Tests Show Cupid Afraid of June
HARRISBURG, Pa.—(UP)—June, traditional "rush month" for Dan Cupid—may be just another month in Pennsylvania for the little heart-blender.
The reason, it appears, is that the Keystone State's new premarital medical examination law became operative May 17. The law, passed b bythe 1939 legislature, provides that persons wishing to be married must first present a physician's certificate showing they are free of syphilis in
Marriage license bureaus in the commonwealth's 67 counties did a land-office business during April. In Philadelphia, alone, the number of marriage licenses issued totaled 1,517, an increase of 354 over the previous month and 360 more licenses than were granted during April, 1939.
It was believed the upward trend prior to the effective date of the law was caused by persons with a somewhat confused idea of what the new
act provides. Some couples, it was believed, advanced their marriage plans rather than submit to the pre-marital tests.
The decrease in marriage licenses in Pennsylvania is no exception among states enacting pre-marital test laws.
Marriage licenses declined 20 per cent in New Jersey during the first half-year of the pre-marital tests in that state. In Oregon, slightly more than 400 licenses were issued during the first three months of operation of the law.
Data and Ideas Not Given Out By Travel Bureaus What To Wear If You Go Vacationing
If you plan to spend most of the time in the saddle, levis or blue jeans worn with plaid wool shirts are best. A bandana scarf, ten-gallon hat, and Western boots complete the outfit, which can also be worn for camping trips and hikes into the mountains.
Whether you are seeing the National parks, dude ranching, or just taking to the country for your summer vacation, you'll need some information that the travel bureaus never put in their descriptive literature—what to wear.
Dining and dancing at hotels and lodges calls for formal clothes, and new summer formal dresses are gay and spirited. Combining white pique and sharkskin with stripes or huge floral prints, many designers favor the voluminous skirt and bare midriff. Hooded jackets are destined to become more popular, being worn with formals, afternoon dresses, and play clothes.
Scaling cliffs and fishing in pine-fringed lakes and mountain streams are better sports if the outfit you are
wearing is sturdy and practical. A wool garabardine slack suit with a broad shouldered jacket of matching tweed is appealing and wearable.
A favorite traveling companion will be one of those handy kits that looks like a knapsack, and carries
everything you need from suntan oil and medicated bandages to your guidebook and lunch.
Clothes that you will wear en route in the automobile or on the train are preferably of jersey or seersucker, because they resist wiling and do not require pressing after they have been unpacked. A whipcord topcoat of room dimensions with saddle-bag pockets is another essential, and it can be a match-mate with all your resort togs.
The Kansas Highway Patrol urges that you drive with care each and every day—don't court traffic courts.
