League Plans Total Council Re-Structure By PEGGY GREENBERG League Council members have approved a re-structuring of the League Council. In order to implement ideas for better League organization, the membership of the Executive Council will be changed. The office of president will be retained. Four vice-presidents will take the place of the present first and second vice-presidents, the secretary and the treasurer. The vice-president in charge of committees will have the same duties as this year's first vice- president. The vice-president in charge of finance will serve as a financial advisor to the other members of the executive board and the committees and will have an assistant. New Office Created Brainchild of the revamping committee is the new office of vice-president in charge of co- ordination. She will coordinate the activities and try. to integrate the projects of the League with Pan- hellenic Association, the Assembly Association, the Women's Athletic Association and Student Govern- ment Council. The vice-president in charge of class projects will act as an "as- sistant social director" for the class projects of Soph Show, Junior Girls Play and Senior Night. She will have office hours, attend cen- tral committee meetings and handle such things as tickets, pro- grams and make-up for the com- mittees, Add Committee Freshman Projects will be a new committee to be added this fall. The chairman will serve as chair- man of the Burocats, a freshman committee, and as "social director" for Frosh Weekend. A fixed policy for the Interview- ing and Nominating Committee has been set. After this spring peti- tioning period, Executive Council offices will be open to senior wom- en only. All committee chairman- ships will be open to junior women only, except in instances deemed 'special' by the committee and except in the cases of chair- men of the Interviewing and Nominating Committee and of Women's Judiciary Council, senior positions. Bobbie Maier, '59, president of the Women's League, in explain- ing the reason for this policy noted the difficulty each year in getting senior officers who have had pre- vious League experience. With this system there will be more re- sources for officers. Within the committee structure there will be several changes in the constitutional duties and func- tions'of several of the committees. Major changes occur in the Special Projects Committee and in the House Committee. Special Duty The assistant chairman of the Special Projects Committee will be in charge of Homecoming Week- end. She will petition specifically for this position. The House Committee, previous- ly assigned only to cooperate with the business manager of the League in decorating the League building, now has new duties. The committee shall determine' the conduct policy for the Under- graduate Office of the League, shall be the Historian of the League and shall suggest housing improvements to be recommended to the Board of Governors. The assistant chairman will be in charge of the League library.

The various items are contributed by University international students and are displayed in partial conjunction with student lectures to the high school's international relations class. HIgh School Features International Students (. International students at the University have been participating in two projects at the Ann Arbor high school this semester. Several students have addressed a predominantly senior class on international relations at tie high school. The class is conducted by David March, history instructor, and arrangements for the speakers have been made through Miss Helen Tjotis of the International Center. The students have received these talks by visiting students "very well", March said. The visitors dis- cuss the development of their na- tive land since World War II and its relations with the United States since that time. Several of them bring slides to the class. Following the lecture a brief question and answer period is held. Among the visitors who have al- ready spoken to the class are Dr. German DeLarrea, Grad., Lucia Alvez, Grad., Nilda Ormaechea, Grad., Brian Parker, Grad., and Daniel Degois, Grad. Partially coordinated with the classroom lectures is a library dis- play of items from various foreign countries. International students bring the display objects into Miss Tjotis who then arranges the dis- play case in the high school li- brary. Tunisian, Iranian and Latin American exhibits have been shown this year. The displays are not entirely co- ordinated with the international relations class topics because of the difficulty in gathering ma- terial for the case, Miss Tjotis ex- p,lained. Some of the displays have been shown in the International Center hall following removal from the high school. MARY Don't forget GREEK WEEK Mass Meeting Tuesday, March 10 Attention!

"Although final costs have not been set, we estimate automobile transportation, chair lift tickets, food and lodging in kitchen- equipped cabins and three days of lessons to total less than $100," Miss Bronstein explained. The Ski Club has made the spring pilgrimage to Aspen sev- eral times in the past and has sponsored several other trips to Sun Valley, Idaho; Boyne and Caberfae, Mich., and Stowe, Vt.

The women will march en masse to the League, accompanied by a small campus band for dinner in the League Ballroom and the open- ing night performance of' Junior Girls Play at the Lydia Mendels- sohn Theatre. After dinner, the seniors will present a program of skits taken from their class' Frosh Weekend, Soph Show and JGP performances & and the traditional "declaration of status" ceremony around the wish- ing well. In the fceremony, all married, members of the class must blow out a candle, engaged women suck on a lemon, safety pins are giv- to those who are "pinned" and stu-! dents now going steady receive a cork to remind them to "keep plug- ging." All unattached women must throw a penny into the wishing well for each year of their age. After witnessing this year's jun- ior class presentation of JGP, the seniors will gather to sing a song dedicated to next year's senior public in general," the new pro- gram will include exhibits of engi- neering advances in recent years and guest speakers, Generates Idea "The idea for Engineer's Week- end was mainly generated by the three-day open house in the archi- tecture and design school last year' and by Engineer's Week or Week- ends held at Cornell, Minnesota, Nebraska and Michigan Tech," central committee publicity direc- tor Charles Hildebrandt, '59E, said yesterday. Approximately 100 industrial firms have been invited to set up demonstrations and exhibits in conjunction with the student pro- ject. Technical honorary societies and engineering school chairmen also have been contacted to discuss setting up exhibits. Shoulder Costs The Engineering Council and the Michigan Technic have said they would shoulder the costs needed to finance the project. The central committee, charged with setting up the elaborate pro- gram, is looking into the possillity of using one floor of the Univer- sity parking structure to house some of the exhibits. Besides the exhibits, Hildebrandt said the committee would also co- ordinate engineering events that already occur in the spring so that they will take place during the Engineer's Weekend. These include class elections, honorary initiations and the fresh- man-sophomore Tug-O-War. Sev- eral other events that may also be scheduled include guest speakers, and special lectures by faculty members. 1i I1 Il C CC PANDEMONIUM breaks loose In the second act battle Royal between the pirates And the police men when They engage in combat for 0 ETERNAL GLORY and FAME.
