Leonides
Approves
Forum Plan
Leonides voted at their final
meeting of the semester last night
to approve the recommendation
set forth by All-University' Cabi
net for a series of programs to
■enlace the Community Forum.
The plan as suggested by Cab
inet provides that students be as
sessed fifty cents a semester or
one dollar a year through student
fees to defray costs of obtaining
performers. In addit-'on, students
would be charged fifteen cents
for each performance.
Leon’des members were in fav
or of these proposals and suggest
ed that this series would probably
receive strongei student suppor'
than the Community Forum pro
gram if a more oopular type of
entertainment were provided and
if more prom'nent celebrities
were scheduled for performances.
Leonides members also favored
either having the programs in
Recreation Hall or providing for
two performances of each pro
gram in Schwab Auditorium.
The series of programs will be
scheduled for the fall and spring
semesters of next year on a pro
bationary basis if approved by
Cabinet. If the series proves to
be successful as far as student
support is concerned, it will be
continued. If not. the entire plan
of a program to support the Com
munity Forum will be discarded.

cation from Pittsburgh, submitted

Style Notes
Flowers Become
Fashion Leaders
By INEZ ALTHOUSE
Collegian Society Editor •
Flowers seem to have come ,nto their own this spring as an
accessory in women’s fashions. Though an old favorite in adding
that touch of spring about this time of the year, they have taken
on a new and more versatile popularity.
Imitation roses, daisies, and other spring flowers have long been
worn in the hair. But now the fashion world has come up with a
special type of flower—one th:u
is wired to bend and clamp around
a pony tail. No pins are needed to
hold this decoration in place.
Another innovation combines
the recently popular neadband
-y.'t'- a 'd'cle of flowers. Cn the
head, the creation resembles a
tiara of flowers Little combs on
siuiS of cne headband hold it
firmly in place.
v Flowers have also taken over
the jewelry world this spring.
Flower chain necklaces with
matching earrings are fast oecom
ing favorites, as are flower brooch
es with matching earrings.
Several other accessory items
are taking on “new looks,” too.
The latest news in belts is the
transparent belt, either plain or
trimmed with metal or pastel dec
orations.
A hew “straw-stretch” belt is
also on the market. This belt
comes in pastel shades, and re
sembles the formerly popular
waist cincher. It is made of a fine
straw, and dressy in appearance.
Hats this spring appear, on the
whole, to be fairly small. Here,
too,.flowers are playing a big part.
Many of the recent millinery cre
ations are the smaller, clamp-on
type that fit on the top of the
head.
The detachable collars, so pop
ular with the sweater set during
the winter, are still leading fash
ion items. The collars vary from
the high, man-type collar to the
