We,  the  women  students  of  Michigan  State 
College,  have  organized  ourselves  into  an  asso 
ciation  which  is  called  Associated  Women  Stu 
dents.  We  have  voted  upon  regulations  which 
we  agree  shall  be  administered  in  this  coming 
year  with  the  cooperation  and  approval  of  the 
Dean  of  Women.  by  a  Council  and  Judiciary 
Board,  as  elected  from  our  members. 

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

Dean  Elisabeth  Conrad 

We  in  the  office  of  the  Dean  of  Women  have 
been  busy  this  summer  with  preparations  for 
these  Fall  days  when  new  students  and  upper 
class  students  would  again  come  to  Michigan 
State  College  campus.  Now  that  you  are  ac 
tually  here,  we  say  "Welcome"  to  each  of  you. 
r  hope  you  have  had  a  good  summer  and  that 

you  ",re  coming  with  plans  and  enthusiasm  for 
the  work  ahead  of  you. 

To  the  new  students  I  extend  an  especial 
greeting.  We  of  Michigan  State  are  glad  to 
have  you  at  this  college  with  its  traditions  of 
democracy,  friendly  cooperation,  and  loyalty  to 
high  ideals  which  have  been  built  up  by  previ 
ous  generations  of  students.  We  believe  you 
also  will  find  here  real  opportunities  for  aca 
demic  training  and  happiness. 

There  will,  undoubtedly,  be  new  and  some 
times  difficult  decisions  to  make.  Rememher 
that  the  staff  in  this  office  is  an  advisory  group 
maintained  for  your  benefit.  Please  come  in 
often  and  consult  with  us  as  friends  who  are 
sincerely  interested  in  each  of  you.  The  office  is 
busy  but  we  shall  be  glad  for  the  opportumty 
to  become  acquainted  with  you .

This  system  has  been  devised  to  relieve  a  few 
of  the  heavily  burdened  individuals  and  to  offer 
to  others  the  opportunity  to  develop  leadership 
while  on  campus.  It has  been  found  that  when 
any  of  us  attempt  too  many  activities,  we  can 
not do  justice to  them  all.  The  points  below  are 
based  on  the  time  and  responsibility  involved 
in  the  various  activities.  The  provisions  of  the 
system  are  carried  out  by  a  Point  Limitations 
Board  which  is  composed  of  members  from 
women's  organizations  on  campus.  Any  upper 
classman  is  not  allowed  to  carry more than  fifty 
points.  A  freshman  is not  allowed to carry more 
than  twenty  points. 
If  any  woman  is  offered 
the  opportunity  to  carry  an  additional  activity 
or office  which for  a  limited  time  will mean  that 
her  points  exceed  her  limit,  she  must  consult 
the  Point Limitations  Board  before  accepting the 
new  responsibility.

Dear  Sally  Jean: 

'Scuse  me  for  not  writing  sooner,  but  I've 
been  rushed  to  death  ever  since  I  arrived  here. 
State  is  even  more  wonderful  than  I  dreamed, 
and  I  feel  so  much  at  h ome  already. 

My  room  is  just  darling,  Sally,  and  the  girls 
in  the  dorm  are  super-swell!  My  "roomy"  is 
especially  nice-I  know  you'll  love  h er,  too. 

Freshman  Week  was  heaps  of  fun.  Here  are 
some  of  the  highlights,  Sally  Jean :  Meeting  my 
ad viser  the  first  day  and  also  my  "big  sister" 
(who wrote  me  those  chatty letters  all  summer); 
'.'exchanging" parties with 
other  d orm s  (boys,  too); 
str utting  around  in  my 
new  pajamas  at  our  p.  j. 
party  h ere;  hearing  Pres 
ident  Hannah  at  one  of 
our  class  convocations; 
learning  the  Alma  Mater 
song,  "M.  S.  C.  Shadows ," 
and  the  fight  song. 

I  was  so  excited,  t oo, 

when  I  classified  for  my  first  college  classes, 
and  d anced  with  some  very  smooth  men  at  the 
mixer  Friday  night,  and  rode  dow n  to  the  Ann 
Arbor  game  on  a  special  State  train. 
I  really 
expanded  my  lungs  cheering  in  the  midst  of  all 
those  green  freshman  pots,  but  I  was  very  prim 
and  ladylike  at  the  introductory  sorority  teas 
Sunday. 

Oh,  Sally,  I  could  go  on  and  on  forever,  but 
I  have  a  "coke"  date  with  an  ultra-handsome 

sophomore  now,  so  I'll  sign  off  with  oceans  0:(. 
love  from 

JOYCE.

Hi,  Sally  Jean! 

This  is  a  belated  note  to  tell  you  that  I  was 
so  glad  you  could  spend  that  week-end  with 
me last month.  We did  have fun  at that "change 
about"  radio  party,  didn't  we? 

I'm  busy  as  usual  studying,  selling  Spartans 
(our  college  magazine,  you  know) ,  attending  Y 
meetings,  and  playing  field  hockey.  Last  week 
end  after  the  football  game  a  crowd  of  us  had 
it  was  heavenly  singing 
a  steak  roast,  and 
M.  S.  C.  songs  around  the  fire. 

Speaking  of  fun,  did  I  tell  you  about  the 
sophomore-freshman  games 
and  the  barbecue  at  night? 
There  was  a  dance,  too,  and 
I  met  so  many  people 
I 
knew.  State  is  the  friend 
liest  school! 

I'm  in  all  the  fore - m on 
tioned  activities  as  a  result 
of  my  trip  to  the  Coed  Car 
nival  with  my  Counselor. 
Honestly,  Sally  Jean,  the  organization  booths 
were  all  so  cute  and  ingenious,  and  the  cider 
and  "dogs"  were  delicious! 

Tonight  I'm  going  to  my  first  college  lecture 

15 

with  Jim.  Edwards  Weeks  is  the  speaker,  and 
1  know  he'll  be  interesting. 

Do  write  soon,  Sally,  and  just  think,  before 
long  I'll  be  home  for  Thanksgiving  and  then 
Christmas! 

Love, 

JOYCE.

Dearest  Sally  Jean: 

Here  1  am  in  the  middle  of  my  second  term at 
State  .  .  .  how  fast  the  time  has  flown!  This 
term  is  going  to  be  the  busiest  yet,  what  with 
formal  dances  and  basketball  games  and  such. 

Guess  what!  1  already  have  a  date  for  the 
J-Hop  (I do hope  they  give  us  as  darling  favors 
as  those  "newsy"  compacts  last  year)!  And  the 
soph  prom  and  interfrat  ball  were  thrilling,  t.oo 
-see what  a  whirl  I'm  in! 

I'm  also  hoping  to  help  on  the  staff  of  this 
term's  play  in  Fairchild  theater.  They  have  one 
every  term,  you  see,  and  in  the  spring  it's  a 
Shakespearian  drama.  College  is  just  one  con 
tinal  state  of  excitement! 

Gotta  scurry  over  to  the  library  now  and  do 

some  much  needed  outside  reading. 

Lovingly, 

JOYCE.

Dear  Sally  Jean : 

Your  letter  h as  been  collecting  dust  for  ever 

so  long,  but  I  have  thought  about  you-lots. 

I've  been  wanting  to 
tell  you  all  about  the 
May  Morning  Sing, 
which  was  held  at 
Beaumont  Tower  Ma y 
1.  The  night  b efor e 
the  two  women's  hon 
or 
societies,  Mortar 
Tower 
and 
Board 
Guard,  serenaded  the 
dorm  with  their  dark 
gowns  and  lighted  candles. 
It  was  so  breath 
t aking,  and  Sally  Jean,  my  next  door  neighbor, 
was  tapped  into  Tower  Guard .  We  were  all  so 
h appy  for  her! 

The  campus  is  so  fresh 
and  green  n ow.  Every  Tues 
day  " Roomy"  a nd  I  see  our 
best  men  march  in  the  mili 
tary  p arades.  They  look  so 
proud,  and  so  are  we  (of 
them). 

There  are  so  many  things 
to  do  in  the  spring  here. 
Hiking, canoeing, tennis,  rid-
ing,  golf-oh, it's  all  so  won 
d erful!  The  fraternity  and  sorority  sings  will  be 
held  in  the  bandshell  in  a  few  weeks,  and  I've 
heard  they're  beautiful. 

Time  for  dinner,  so  I'll  stop  now.  But  I  prom 
ise  you  that  I'll  write  much,  much  sooner  next 
time. 

JOYCE.

Dear Sally Jean: 

Oh,  I'm  so  happy  that  you're  coming  to  State 

next  year!  You'll  love  it,  I  know! 

Tonight  is  annual  Lantern  Night,  and  I  can 
hardly  wait  for  it  to  arrive.  All  the  upperclass 
men  carry  lighted  lanterns  from  the  gym  to  the 
bandshell  where  each  class  passes  them  down  10 
the  next.  It must  be  a  lovely  sight! 

Senior  Week  is  actually  here,  with  its  senior 
play,  water carnival,  commencement,  and  gradu 
ation  parade.  How fast  m y  first  year  at M.  S . C . 
has  gone! 

I  sort  of  hate  to  say  goodbye  to  this  new 
home  of  mine  for  even  a  few  months,  but  you'll 
be  here  in  the  fall  to  enjoy  it  with  me,  won't 
you? 

All  my  love, 

JOYCE.

There's  a  niche  for  you-and  maybe  two  or 

three-in  activities  at Michigan  State  College. 

Some  M.S.C.  organizations  are  just  for  fun, 
some  for  development  and  service,  and  some  in 
recognition  of  achievements.  Many  you  can  just 
join,  and  for  others  you'll  need  certain  qualifi 
cations. 

Here  are  some  samples  from 

this  year's 

menu : 

Women's  Athletic  Association,  Green  Splash, 
M.S.C.  Outing  Club,  for  you  who  like  activities 
really  active. 

Student  Club  ,to  pr o 
vide  you  with  inexpensive, 
c rea t i v  e  entertainment 
to 
varying 
dances  every  Friday  night. 

from  picnics 

Y.W.C.A.,  Spartan  Wo 
men's  League,  stu den t 
Christian  Union,  for  girl 
students  who  have  ideas 
to  develop.  Home  Economics  Club,  International 
Relations  Club,  and  a  host  of  others  bound  up 
with  your  favorite  courses. 

Publications  if  you  like  the  pounding  of  a 

typewriter  and  have  a  nose  for  news. 

A  Cappella  Choir,  or  the  big  chorus,  if  music 

is  your  meat. 

Studio  Theater,  if you like to  dabble  in  drama. 

And  for  a  feather  in  your  cap,  start  working 
toward  the  professional  and  honorary  groups 
which  qualified  students  are  invited  to  join. 

20 

Early  in  the  fall,  many  of  these  or.ganizations 
will  present  to  you  a  cross  section  of  their  pro 
grams  in  a  p anorama  of  a  Day  in  a  Coeds'  life. 
Until  then,  shop  around. 

the  season,  and 

If  sports  are  your  meat,  and  you  were  the 
champion  bowler  or  baseball  player  or  volley 
ball  player  in  high  school,  then  you  will  feel 
right  at  home  in  W.  A  A,  that  is,  Women's 
Athletic  Association.  All  year  long  W.  A  A. 
follows 
the 
girls  take  part  in  v,olleyball, 
bowling,  basketball,  swimming, 
dancing,  fencing,  baseball,  ten 
nis,  golf,  and  archery.  And  at 
the  end  of  the  year,  they  fin 
ish  off  with  a  big  spring  picnic. 
And  what's  b est  of  all,  anyone 
may  belong  to  W.  A  A  All 
you  have  to  do  is  to  like  sports  and  come  out 
for  them. 

If you  live  at  home,  either  in  Lansing  or  E ast 
Lansing  or  in  some  neighboring  town,  the  Town 
Girls'  Club  is  the  place  for  you.  This  recently 
organized  group  aims  to  promote  a  friendlier 
feeling  among  town  girls  and  to  help  them  to 
adjust  to  college  life  when  they  do  not  live  on 
the  campus.  They  have  a  special  room  all  their 
own,  too,  on  the  fourth  fioor  of  the Union build 
ing.  They  can  go  there  and  study,  relax  or 
freshen  up,  whichever  they're  in  the  mood  for. 
If  you're  a  town  girl,  don't  bemoan  the  fact 
that  you'll  be  left  out  of  college  life.  That's 
what  the  Town  Girls'  Club  is  for-to  see  that 
you  aren't  left  out  of  anything. 

21 

So  over  and  over  again  you've  told  the  fam 
the-men-you're-Ieaving 
ily  purse-holder  and 
behind-you  that  it's  an  education  you  crave 
from  Michigan  State  College?  We  believe  you. 
In  fact,  so  wholeheartedly  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 
Inevitable  cor 
you  know  but  whom  you  know. 
ollary:  One  would  do  well  to  know  the  right 
people.  To  do  that  you've  got  to  look  worth 
knowing,  so  your  first  home-work  should  be 
"mind  your  appearance." 

FRESHMAN  ORIENTATION:  LYour  }our 
years  at  college  can  be  a  gradual  des~Y into 
Avernus  (freshman,  look  this  up)  or  a  perse 
vering  climb  to  gr;ater  maturity,  character  and 
leadership  ability/. (you  know 
what we  mean);  ,t', up  to  you.  ~~'
0 '  get  started  upward  in  your 
four  college  years  you  should 
know 
the  essential  do 's  and 
don'ts  of  college  dress  and 
etiquette;  you  should  be  &0 
confident  of  what  to  do  and  how  to  dress  that 
For  instance,  you 

,  ~,,_ 
:r J. 

The  answer  to  rambunctious  freshman  mix 
ers  is  fairly  cool  clothes  and  shoes  that  leave 
your  feet  most  unconscious, 

Receptions  call  for  good  but simple  togs,  a  silk 

23 

crepe  with  social  significance,  or  a  becoming' 
wool. 

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,  per 
haps  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 : 

error, 

1.  A  slip  straggling 
under  your  skirt  is  a 
cardinal 
and 
even  Gertrude  Steins 
aren't  excused  there 
fore .  So,  if  your  skirts 
are  short  (warning 
w  a  t  c h 
college 
the 
mode  for  fall),  make 
your  slips  correspond 
ingly  short. 

2.  Full  skirts  aren't 
as  subject  to  sit-itis  as  straight  ones;  but  both 
thrive  on  occasional  pressings,  as  do 
types 
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  oth~  species  of 
flatties  till  they're  actually  white; but  we  do 
hint  at  an  occasional  session  with  the  shoe 
cleaning  fluid . 

24 

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. 
Plain  neck  lines  are  best,  as  we  wear  gobs  of

collars  over  sweaters  also  make  a  neat  effect.

we'll  even  be  wearing  cotton 
ones 
this  year,  but  at  least 
they'll  be  warm-that's  some  consolation.  How 
ever,  bare  legs  can  be  exposed  during  Spring 
term  and  in  actual  sports  participation. 

Wear  below-waist-Iength  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.

Skirts,  sweaters,  and  flat  shoes  comprise  the

infinite  possibilities  and  variation.

NEVER  OVERDRESS:  "Athletics"  means  foot 
ball  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  casual  campus-wear,  but  when  we  follow 
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  11 
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  h ave  to  worry  on  this  score. 

MODERN  GREEKS:  You  guessed  it-rush 
ing!  This  course  is  not  important  to  everyone, 
but  for  those  of  you  who  decide  to  take  in  some 
rushing  parties,  "what  to  wear"  will  loom  im 
portantly.  The  answer  is,  wear  what  makes 
you 
look  up-to-date  but  not  flashy.  Which 
m eans  hat,  gloves,  and  purse,  m aybe  with 
steaming  your  black . velvet  or  colored  velveteen 
with  the  fetching  lace  collar  and  cuffs;  or  per 
haps  it  means  donning  your  wool  best-looker. 
Avoid  over-elaborate  d res s

A  couple  of  tips  to  help  the 
know 
good 
you'll  make: 
If  you  don't 
smoke,  don't  be  embarrasses 
scornful.  A 
and  d on 't  be 
simple  "Not  now"  or  "Thank 
you,  no,"  serves  better.

SeCQnd,  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) 
outfit,  complete  with  hat,  gloves,  and  purse,  will 
see  you  through  a  strenuous  rushing  season.  For 
the  preference  dinner,  you'll  want  either  a  din 
ner  dr ess  or  your  "strictly  formal"  with  its 
matching  jacket  or  bolero. 
Interesting  costumes 
may  also  be  composed  of  evening  skirts  with 
demurish  blouses  or  sophisticated  sweaters. 

ETHICS :  Sunday  church  will  also  find  you  in 

the  outfit  that  took  you  to  rushing  teas . 

MODERN  DRAMA:  Yum  . . .  formal  parties 
.  .  big  name  bands  .  .  .  luscious  four - course 
dinner  .  .  .  a  made  for  you  evening  gown  .  .  . 
fellows  disguised  by  tuxes  .. .  blind  dates  . . .  
exciting  new  men  .  .  .  powdering  your  room 
mate's  back  .. .  borrowing  and  lending  every 
thing  you  own  .  .  .  surely  college  social  life  is 
modern  drama,  especially  winter  term. 

For  the  gala  occasions  you'll 
feminine  and 
be  your  most 
appealing  self 
in  a  creation 
dreamed  up  just  for  you  .  .  . 
Maybe  it  will  be  silk,  maybe 
velvet,  brocade,  taffeta  or  silk 
jersey  .  .  .  If  you're  the  tall, 
languorous  type,  play  up  your 
charms  with  sleek  satin;  but 
the  best  cue  for  freshmen  is  to  emphasize  the 

27 

naive  and  sweetly  youthful line-a touch  of  ruf 
fles,  ribbon,  or  rosebuds.  Black  velvet  evening 
wraps,  softened  by  white  bunny  fur  on  hood  or 
collar  remain  the  heavy  favorite,  but  we  sug 
gest  you  look  into  the  long  wool  coats  before 
investing.  We  noticed  two  especially  impres 
sive  numbers,  one  red  with  scintillating  gold 
p a illettes  sprinkled  along  the  shoulder  line  and 
down  the  front,  the  other  a  collarless  biege. 
Also  noteworthy,  but  not  necessary,  for  evening 
are  fur  coat s,  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  life  isn 't  all  glamorous  J 
Hops  and  Senior  Balls,  Soph  Proms  and  Frosh 
Frolics;  you'll  find  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  d ay-time  date 
where  you  see  how  long  you  can  dawdle  over 
one  coke,  you'll  wear  the  usual  skirt  and  sweat 
er  combination;  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  es-

28 

sen se  of  college  clothes'  smartness:  Dress  sim 
ply,  suit  the  occasion,  and  don't  d ress  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.
