Well . . . there were just loads of others there . . and if you were not among them you should plan to be there next week-end.

In the upper left hand corner Mary Rall of Grosse Pointe is talking over the excitement of Freshman week and registration with Marguerite Ganzhorn of Ann Arbor. In the top center picture Jenny Petersen of Detroit is welcoming a few minutes' rest between dances, while the vivacious smiles of Blanche Tobin of Douglaston, N. Y., and Anna Belle Haag of Toledo in the upper right corner seem to indicate that they are enjoying themselves watching the dancers. Blanche should feel right at home at Michigan since both her sister Anne and her brother Richard, who was editor of The Daily, in 1932, attended Michigan. Nancy Dall of Libertyville, Ill., in the left centmr picture, was snapped just as she was leaving the Ethel Fountain Hussey Room, and Marian Baxter of Grosse Pointe, center, smiled for the photographer as she waited patiently for her date. Though Marietta Arner, right center, lives in Ann Arbor, campus life is as new to her as to the other freshmen, and she is glad of the opportunity to meet her classmates socially. In the right lower corner Nancy Saibert of Oak Park, Ill., who is interested in learning all about women's activities at Michigan, is chatting things over with Miss Ethel McCormick, social director of the League. Miss Alice B. Lloyd, dean of women, will open the series of lectures planned for freshmen women tomor- row in the Lydia Mendelssohn Thea- tre when she speaks on "College Con- duct." The second lecture of the series is to be given by Dean Wilbur Humphreys selecting "Highlights of the Campus" as his topic." Orientation week reached its climax when approximately 500 incoming women attended the banquet, treas- ure hunt, and dance Friday night in Departing from the usual proce- dure, Mrs. Mansur Jurdak has accom- panied her two sons from Beirut, Syria, to Ann Arbor where they are enrolled as seniors in the Engineering College. Many Syrians have attended the University but this is the first time known when any of them have brought their mother along. The three are living in an apart- ment near campus where Mrs. Jurdak is keeping house, occasionally cook- ing native dishes when American food becomes too tiresome. In attempting to follow American customs for the first time in her life she is doing her own housework, something unheard of in a land where all manual labor is done by servants. George and Fuad Jurdak have both received their Bachelor of Arts de- -.,-..-,, 'I-, , -.' o n orTTnivra c ir changed to Michigan because they felt that here was a better example of true American life. As for Ann Ar- bor, they find it charming. The pro- fuse green foliage here proves a de- lightful change from the sandhills and desert surrounding Beirut. Mrs. Jurdak intends to take in all the opportunities offered by the Uni- versity that she can - the Choral Union Series, Play Production's offer- ings, lectures and the facilities of the library. The football games prove to be a great attraction but these Syrians find it comparatively uninteresting contrasted to the soccer game played i +har - nnia n9Arnrr,.nr t Contemporary Collection Is Placed In New League Library Thenew League Library composed of 1000 volumes of the best contempo- rary literature was opened officially yesterday to students and alumnae.
