We,  the  women  students  of  Michigan  State 
College,  have  organized  ourselves  into  an  asso 
ciation  and  have  voted  upon  regulations  which 
we  agree  shall  be  administered,  with  the  cooper 
ation  and  approval  of  the  Dean  of  Women,  by  a 
Council  and  Judiciary  Board,  elected  from  our 
number. 

The  purpose  of  our  organization  is  to  help 
establish and  maintain high standards of conduct, 
both  social  and  moral,  at Michigan  State College. 
We  will  strive  to  attain  that  purpose  by  conduct 
ing  ourselves  in  such  a  manner  that  we  can  be 
truly  willing  to  have  all  girls  adopt  and  imitate 
our  ways.

Each  fall  A.  W.  S.  sponsors  the  " Co-ed  Carni 
val"  at  which  time  all  organizations  and  clubs 
on  campus  in  which  freshmen  women  are  inter 
ested  have  booths  and  explanations  of  theIr  ac 
tivities.  You  may  sign  up  at  their  booths  for 
any  of  the  organizations  you  are  interested  in 
Jommg.  Your  Counselor  will  call  to  take  you 
to  the  Carnival.  This  year  A .  W.  S.  is  holding 
the  carnival  both  in  the  afternoon  and  evening, 
and  freshmen  are  welcome  to  go  both  times. 

A.  W.  S.  has  just  completed  this  year  a  town 
girl's  room,  up  on  the  fo urth  floor  of  the  Union 
building.  It is  complete  with  comfortable  chairs 
for  studying,  couches, 
lockers,  and 
even  an  iron  so  that  girls  who  live  in  Lansing 
or East Lansing may  freshen  up.  The  town-girls 
have  a  regular  organization  and  A.  W.  S.  wants 
you  who  live  in  town to  feel  that  it  is  yo ur  room 
and  for  your  convenience. 

lavatory, 

A.  W .  S .  also  has  a  new  office,  located.in  the 
Administration ' building,  just  across  from  the 
Dean  of  Women's  office.  Here  we  have  our 
filing  cabinets,  phone,  mailbox  and  desk,  with 
a  part-time  secretary.  We  hope 
to  u se  our 
office  as  a  clearing  house  for  campus  activities 
this  year. 
During 

is  busy 
the  entire  year  A.  W.  S. 
helping  other  women's  organizations  carryon 
their  activities  but  each  spring  term,  during 

11 

Senior  week,  one  night  is  set  aside  for  A.  W.  S. 
and  one  of  its  outstanding  events.  That  night  is 
Lantern  night,  held  Tuesday  during  Senior  Week 
of  Spring  term. 

Lantern  Night  was  originated  by  Mrs.  Herman 
Halladay,  the  wife  of  the  former  secretary  of 
the  .college.  She  first  imagined  the  beauty  of 
seeing  a  procession  of  girls  winding  across  the 
campus  walks,  carrying  as  they  walked,  lighted 
lanterns.  Today  her  dream  is  a  reality  and  one 
of  the  most  prized  traditions  of  A.  W.  S. 

Each  class  forms  one  part  of  the  procession. 
The  seniors  are  led  by  the  president  of  A.  W.  S. 
a nd  the  members  of Mortar  Board  lead  the  other 
classes. 

The  procession  form s  just  a t  sunset.  After 
winding  through  the  sunken  gardens,  we  gather 
before  a  platform  erected  in  the  Forest  of  Arden 
at  the  foot  of Beaumont Tower,  where  the  presi 
dent  of  the  College  bids  farewell  and  goodspeed 
to  the  Senior  Class.  Following  this  ceremony 
the  president  of  A.  W.  S.  for  the  next  year  is 
in st a lled,  as  well  as  the new presidents  of  Mortar 
Board ,  Tower  Guard ,  and  Panhellenic  CounciL 

To  conclude  the  ceremonies  the  seniors  pass 
their  lanterns  to  the  juniors;  the  juniors  to  the 
wphomores;  the sophomores to the freshmen  who 
have  not  carried  lanterns  in  the  procession,  thus 
signifying  the  passing  on  of  class  responsibilties. 
Every woman  student is privileged  to  take part 
in  this  beautiful  ceremony,  and  each  year  as  our 
college  grows  the  procession  of  women  students 
grows  longer  and  longer.  Next  spring  you,  too, 
may  be  a  part  of  Lantern  Night.

Sept.  29-Jean,  that's  my  'roomy',  diary,  and 
I  are  so  glad  we  paid  our  rushing  fees  in  ad 
vance  because  today  we  dressed  in  our  extra 
special  outfits  and  went  teaing  at  all  the  sor 
orities.  We  managed  to  get  around  to  all  the 
houses,  and  the  girls  were  all  so  nice  to  us.

has  finally  come.  First  day  of  classes  in  a  real 
college.  But  oh  my,  am  I  loaded  with  home 
work.  My  profs  seem  nice,  though . 

Oct.  5-My,  this  weekend  just 

flew  away. 
Jean  B.,  Jo,  and  I  went  to  the  Michigan  game 
at  Ann  Arbor,  and  the  State 
fellows  carried  off  their  goal 
posts.  But  best  of  all,  I  had 
a  perfectly  wonderful  time  at 
the  Victory  Dance,  and  with 
the  Michigan  State 
one  of 
fellows,  too. 

Oct.  22-Today  we  made 
peace  with  the  lordly  sophs. 
My,  what  a  duckin g  they  got.  Marge  and  I 
went  with  a  bU!lch  of  girls  to  the  barbecue.  It 
was  such  fun,  and 
the  hamburgs  and  cider 
were  the  best  ever.  A  freshman  pot  ( Diary, 
that's  a  green  hat)  m issed  the  bonfire,  so  Jack 
got .it  for  me  for  my  collection.

Feb.  14-0h,  wonder  of  wonders! 

I'm  going 
to  the  J-Hop  next  weekend!  We  have  four 
o'clock  permission,  and  I've  heard  rumors  that 
the  favors  and  decoratio ns 
are simply darling. Last year 
they  gave  white 
leather 
evening  bags.  This  will  be 
the  first  year  it's  been  held 
in  the  new  auditorium. 

Feb.  19-Jean  and  I  went 
to  our  first  tea-dance  today. 
Tea-dances  are  held . in  the 
afternoon,  diary,  and  you 
can  go  right  from  cla ::ses.  Ray,  a  junior  I  met 
last  week,  called  up  and  asked  me  to  go  to  his 
fraternity  dinner-dance.  He's  a  smooth  dancer 
and  seems  like  lots  of  fun. 

Feb.  23-Gee,  midterm  grades  come  out  to

So  over  and  over  again  you 've  told  the  family 
purse  holder  and 
the-men-you're-Ieaving-be 
hind-you  that  it's  an  education  you  crave  from 
Michigan  State  College?  We  believe  you. 
In 
fa ct,  so  whole-heartedly  do  we  believe  that  it 
is  knowledge  for  which  Freshmen  coeds  come 
to  college  that  we  hanker  to  initiate  you  into 
all  its  vital  branches  at  once.  Following  is  a 
sampling  of  your  most  important  courses,  the 
ones  you  should  aim  for  an  "A"  in. 

LOGIC:  The  major  premise:  it's  not  what  you 

know  but  whom  you  know. 

Inevitable  corollary:  one  would  do  well  to 

know  the  right  people. 

To  do  that  you've  got  to  look  worth  knowing, 
so  your  first  homework  should  be  "mind  your 
appearance." 

FRESHMAN  ORIENTATION:  Your  four  years 
at  college  can  be  a  gradual  descent  into  Avernus 
(freshman  look  this  up),  or  a 
persevering  climb 
to  greater 
maturity,  character  and  lead 
ership  ability  (you  know  what 
we  mean);  it's  up  to  you.  To 
' get started upward  in your four 
college  years  you  should  know 
the  essential  dos  and  don'ts  of 
college  dress  and  etiquette;  you 
should  be  so  confident  of  what 
to  dre?s  that  you  can  forget  it 

to  do  and  how 
yourself. 

For  instance,  you  ought  to  know  that: 
The  answer  to  rambunctious  freshman  mixers 
is  fairly  cool  clothes  and  shoes  that  leave  your 
feet  most  unconscious. 

20 

Receptions  call  for  your  best  togs,.a  silk  crepe 
with  social  significance,  or  a  velvet  charmer 
whose  derriere  isn't  luminous. 

Visiting  the  library  and  taking  freshman  tests 
demand  that  you  haul  out  your  wool  or  tweed 
skirt,  odd  jacket,  cotton  shirt,  and  saddles.  Or 
if it's sweltering hot  (first  weeks  always  fool  us), 
you'll  be  able  to  wear  summer  duds,  p erhaps 
that  dark  cotton  sheer  you  were  smart  enough 
not  to  pack  away. 

HOME  ECONOMICS:  You  may  not  be  a  Home 
Economics  major  (three  to  one  you  are,  though) 
but  we  all  have  to  memorize  a few  Home  Ec 
principles.  F'rinstance: 

1.  A  slip  straggling  under  your  skirt  is  a 
cardinal  error,  and  even  Gertrude  Steins  aren't 
excused  therefore.  So,  if  your  skirts  are  short 
(warning-watch  the  college  mode  for  fall), 
make  your  slips  correspondingly  short. 

2.  Full  skirts  aren't  as  subject  to  sit-itis  as 
straight ones,  but both  types  thrive  on  occasion 
al  pressings,  as  do  dresses,  etc.,  but  the  ironing 
board  won't  be  your  chief  love  at  college. 

3.  We  wouldn't  dare  suggest  that  you  clean 
your  saddles,  moccasins,  and  other  species  of 
flatties  till  they're  actually  white,  but  we  do 
hint  at  an  occasional  session  with  the  shoe 
cleaning  fluid. 

4.  Clean,  press,  and  repair  last  fall's  clothes; 
it's  not  at  all  necessary  to  get  new  clothes  for 
college.  The  dress  that  hasn't  worn  out  after 
four  years  in  Senior  High  will  be  brand  spank 
ing  new  to  your  college  friends. 

5.  Simplicity is  the keynote  in  campus  dress. 

21 

Piain  neck  lines  are  best,  as  we  wear  gobs  of 
scarves,  and  amusing  costume  jewelry.  White 
collars  over  sweaters  also  make  a  neat  effect. 

ANCIENT  HISTORY:  This  includes  the  study 
of traditions and your chief assignment will be to: 
Wear  stockings  always,  even 
under  your  bright  anklets.  This 
has  a  two-fold  purpose:  first,  it 
pleases  the  Dean  of  Women 
and  your  profs,  and  more  im 
portant,  it  makes  our  legs  ap 
pear  half  way  decent.  H ow 
ever,  bare  legs  can  be  exposed 
in  actual  sports  participation. 

Wear  below  - waist  - length 

coats  over  riding  pants. 

Don  shorts,  culottes,  slacks  and  ski-pants  only 
for  sports;  on  campus  they  must  be  covered  by 
a  full-length  coat. 

Wear  a  knock-about  felt  hat  or  go  bare 
headed,  just  as  fancy  or  your  psyche  moves  you. 
Skirts,  sweaters,  and  flat  shoes  comprise  the 
traditional  campus  costume,  a  costume  that  has 
infinite  possibilities  and  variation. 

NEVER  OVERDRESS.  When  in  doubt,  trust 
to  the  informal  and  simple.  But  always  be  at 
tractively  neat; 
conventions 
conclaves 
overrun  our  campus,  and  visitors  are  much  im 
pressed  by  spruce-looking  coeds. 

and 

ATHLETICS:  "Athletics"  means  football 
to 
M.  S.  C.  coeds .  Four  times  during  fall  term  we 
all  go  to  Macklin  Field  and  exude  pride  for 
Bachman's  boys.  For  home  games  we  cheer 
in  casu al  campus-wear,  but  when  we  fo llow 

22 

our  eleven  to  rival  stadiums  we  splurge  a  bit. 
Thus,  the  Michigan  game  is  apt  to  mean  fairly 
high-heeled  shoes,  your  three-piece  suit,  and 
a  really  snappy  hat.  Good  looking  wool  frocks 
with  top  coats,  or  tailored  two--piecers  are  also 
smart. 

Phys  Ed  courses  usually  have  regulation  suits, 

so  you  won 't  have  to  worry  on  this  score.

MODERN  GREEKS:  You  guessed  it  -

-
rushing!  !  This  course  is  not  important  to  every 
one,  but  for  those  of  you  who  decide  to  take  in 
some  rushing  parties,  "what  to 
wear"  will  loom  importantly. 
The  answer 
is,  wear  what 
makes  you  look  up-to-date  but 
not  flashy .  Which  means  hat, 
gloves,  a nd  purse,  maybe  with 
steaming  your  black  velvet  or 
colored  velveteen  with 
the 
fetching  lace  collar  and  cuffs; 
or  perhaps  it  means  putting  on 
a  silk  crepe,  or  donning  your 
wool  best-looker.  Avoid  over-elaborate  dress 
which  buries  the  fact  that  you  have  poise  and 
shining character. 

A  couple  of  tips  to  help  the  good  impression 

we  know  you'll  make: 

If  you  don't  smoke,  don't  refuse  cigarettes 
with  a  holier-than-thou  "I never  smoke."  "Not 
now"  or  "Thank  you,  no"  serves  better. 

Second,  it's  an  invaluable  asset  if  you  can 
carryon  an  intelligent  conversation  after  the 
preliminary  cross-examination  and  chit-chat, 
but  don't  do  all  the  carrying,  listen  too. 

Again,  one  good  looking  (but not  sensational) 

23 

outfit,  complete  with  h at,  gloves,  and  purse,  will 
see  you  through  a  strenuous  rushing  season. 
For  the  preference  dinner,  you"ll  want  either 
a  dinner  dress  or  your  "strictly  formal"  with 
its  matching 
Interesting 
j acket  or  bolero. 
costumes  may  also  be  composed  of  evening 
skirts  with  demurish  blouses  or  sophisticated 
sweaters. 

ETHICS:  Sunday  church  will  also  find  you  in 

the  outfit  th a t  took  you  to  rushing  teas. 

MODERN  DRAMA:  Yum  .  .  .  formal  parties

. . .  borrowing  a  knock 
out  hat  or  wide  red  belt 
.  .  .  surely  college  social 
life 
is  modern  drama, 
especially  winter  term. 

For  the  gala  occasions 
you'll  be  your  most  fem-
inine and appealing self in a  creation dreamed-up 
just for  you ... Maybe it will be silk, maybe vel 
vet,  brocade,  taffeta  or  silk  jersey  ... If you're 
the talliangorous type, play up your charms with 
sleek  satin;  but  the  best  cue  for  freshmen  is  to 
emphasize  the  naive  and  sweetly  youthful  line 
a  touch  of  ruffles,  ribbon  or  rosebuds.  Black 
velvet  evening  wraps,  softened  by  white  bunny 
fur  on  hood  or  collar  remain  the  heavy  favorite, 
but  we  suggest  you  look  into the long  wool coats 

24 

in vesting.  We  noticed 

before 
two  especially 
impressive  n umbers,  one  red  with  scintillating 
gold  paillettes  sprinkled  along  the  shoulder  line 
and  down  the  front,  the  other  a  collarless  beige. 
Also  noteworthy,  but  not  necessary,  for  evening 
wear  are  fur  coats,  capes,  and  quilted  taffeta 
wraps. 

A  few  daring  people  wear  elbow  length  kid 
evening  gloves  with  formals,  but  the  angora 
mittens  you  spent  the  summer  knitting  will  be 
quite  as  perfect,  and  much  less  over-awing  to 
the  men . 

But  college  social 

isn't  all  glamorous 
life 
J - Hops  and  Senior  Balls,  Soph  Proms  and  Frosh 
Frolics;  you'll  find  that  your  movie  or  dancing 
dates  play  just  as  exciting  a  part  in  Modern 
Drama.  Your  "good"  dress--perhaps  a  princess 
style  silk  crepe  in  your  most  becoming  color  or 
your  "fetchingest"  wool-will  be  your  choice 
for  these  dates. 
If it's  a  day- time  date  where 
you  see  how  long  you  can  dawdle  over  one  coke, 
you'll  wear  the  usual  skirt  and  sweater  com 
bination;  the  same  goes  for  library  dates. 

-

And  so  it goes  - _ - We  could hint that snuggly 
Dr.  Denton  pajamas  are  coed  favorites,-that  a 
housecoat  of  some  description  is  a  "must",-that 
you'll  never  be  sorry  for  pair  on  pair  of  vivid 
anklets  -
- but  by  now  you  don't  need  this 
pony.  For by now you've figured  out the  essence 
of  college  clothes'  smartness:  dress  simply,  suit 
the occasion,  and  don't dress beyond  your  means. 
The  girl  with  one  carefully  filled  clothes  grip 
can  look  as  smart  as  the  girl  who  blows  in  with 
twelve  trunks;  it's  just  a  matter  of  selection.
