Parties Held In Novel Settings
Spring Dances Capture Social Spotlight
Spring parties were the byword over the weekend and each organization tried to outdo their rivals with novel ideas for decorations and party schemes. Alpha Delta Pi's surrounded their guests with pink elephants at their spring formal in the Memorial Union ballroom Friday night.
Alpha Chi Omega
The Alpha Chi's danced in a red and white carnival atmosphere at their spring formal at the Memorial Union building last night. Concessions, fortune-tellers and barkers lined the walls. The orchestra pit was a Merry-Go-Round with horses prancing around the outside. Cardboard caricatures of various carnival characters leaned against posts and stood along the walls.
Sigma Nu
A canopy before the Lawrence Country Club led to a real Hollywood premiere at the Sigma Nu party last night. Soft blue lights and silver stars of all sizes set the atmosphere, emphasized by roving spotlights, ferns, and even a rock garden. Pictures of movie stars were set up here and there.

Campus Women Strive For Slender Figures
Stagey Helen Johnson, c'41, advocates eating regularly but moderately and participating in a number of sports.
Women—what do we say about them? Just this: with the faint odor of spring in the air, a girl's thoughts are turned to the figure reflected in her mirror. Does your reflection please you or are you too fat. It is difficult to be attractive if you are as scrawny as a shrub on a rocky hillside, but if you are as large as the hillside, it is hopeless.
Demure Margaret Stookey, fa'40,
believes that not eating between
meals and climbing up the steps of
Ad is the best method of keeping the
scales light.
Flaxen-haired Maxine Miller, c'41,
keeps her figure by following a heavy
exercise schedule which includes
tennis, golf, and dancing.
It is generally agreed that men prefer women with wasp-like waists and slender ankles. $ ^{*} $
There are innumerable ways of achieving a model-like outline. Reducing Chi Omega's lose pounds at a special starvation table. Theta's say that a hard-but-sure way is to refrain from eating starches and desserts.
Auburn-baired Julie Ruth Henry's solution is to eat a lot, sleep a lot, and exercise more than that.
On the other side of the fence. Cecil King, c'42, just eats everything to try to gain weight.
You who are satisfied with your figure, trim it to be lithe and lovely to suit your lilling April mood for where there's a will there's a way.
Mrs. Frank Hanna of Mankato, provincial president of Pi Beta Phi, was a dinner guest at the University chapter of the sorority Friday night.

an account of Mt. Oread Society Kay Bozarth, Society Editor
The last weekend in April could be nothing but typical so thunder clouds darkened the skies over Mount Oread and let go a torrent of rain which slowed down track men in this section of the country but seemed to have a contrary influence on the speed of the social merry-go-round. High school girls here for the annual Play Day shed raindrops like ducks and played with greater vim than shown on last year's sunny Saturday. Nevertheless the rain increased the weekend population in Watson library and many students spent the day working on those "awful term papers."
Dinner guests at the Alpha Tau Omega house last night were Mrs. Charles Scott of Fort Scott, Patricia O'Brien and Betty Warner of Stephen's College, Charles Ottman of Kansas City, Mo., and J. Sherwood Sawyer of Hutchinson.
Weir Pierson of Oakley is a weekend guest at the Kappa Sigma fraternity.
Thursday night dinner guests at the Sigma Chi fraternity house were Dick Chubb, c'43, Bill Cavet, c'43, John Besher, c'43, Carl Unruh, e'43, Mrs. H. Bennett and Marietta Bennett, Ottawa, and Mr. and Mrs. Harley Nelson, Newton.
