Handbags "Dramatic" This Season
This spring print dress with its stiffly starched collar can be worn in the late spring months as well as appearing under that new Easter coat now.
Handbags, those useful articles that hold all a woman's belongings, are going dramatic this season. They are larger than last year and are made of many materials and in all shapes.
Patent leather is the dominant material. Often it is combined with gabardine, again it is stitched with a contrasting color, but this year it is supple because bags are soft. Other drapable materials used are suede in bright tones, cape, chiffon moreco, doe, snake, and kidskin, which are molded or shirred into textured surfaces.
Width at the bottom is the current feature in bags and out of that theme the triangle and the long shallow rectangle have been developed. Top handles are popular, varied by pannier handles, which are perpendicular loops that spring up from the center of the frame, and bracelet handles, a wristband on one side from which the bag dangles.
Frames and closings are tricky, being worked out with rows of little mirrors, with interlocking plastic balls, enamel bowknets, butterflies, or hooks-and-eyes of metal.
Black and navy bags are most popular now but as the summer months approach, pastels will appear. Later on the white bags will be supplemented by high colors in prints and embroidered fabrics showing Mexican feeling. Linings and fittings are colorful with bright red the favorite hue.
As the season advances, many woven and knit fabrics will appear on the scene. They will include faille, sharkskin, grasgrain ribbon, prints, hopsacking, crepe, sheer woolens, and jersey. A fashion which has prevailed this winter in southern resorts is likely to reappear in the North, that is bags of straw that match hats, not only as to fabric and color but also in shape and size.
'Y' Drive to Aid Chinese Students
Plans are being made to start a drive early in May for the Far Eastern Students Service fund for Chinese student relief, Eda Paddock, Y.W.C.A. secretary, announced today. The drive will be sponsored jointly by the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A.
The student co-chairmen for the work are Alice Ann Jones, c'41; and Charles Wright, fa'42. A steering committee composed of Maurine Mong, c'40; Betty Kimble, c'41; and Henry Werner, adviser of men, will complete plans for the campaign.
Paul Moritz, who was graduated last year from the University and was sent by the National organization of Y.M.C.A. as an exchange student to China, is directing this drive from Shanghai.

The Edna Osborne Whitcomb scholarship, granted to women students majoring in English and interested in creative writing, is to be awarded for the second time this year. The scholarship, which is for $100, was divided this year and granted to Laura Holste, c'41, and Jane Raup Robinson, c'41, at the end of the first semester. Increased funds have made it possible to offer the scholarship again this semester. Announcement of the winner will be made at commencement and paid in September.

Reluctant students, returning to school after the Easter vacation, were confronted with mid-semester examinations which will slow down the social life until the grades are turned into the Dean's office April 3.
This fellowship is open to graduate students interested in advanced study in the field of comparative literature.
Members of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity celebrated their return to school Monday night with their annual sweater and slack party. The Fijis and their dates went to Brown's Grove for a picnic supper followed by dancing at the chapter house Clvde Smith and his band played.
