The appointment of Miss Heitsc was made by the Executive Board o the Assembly, composed of the pres- ident and officers, and the faculty ad- viser, Miss Ethel McCormick. All unaffiliated women may peti- tion for the other positions on the central committee tomorrow, Tues- day and Wednesday in the Under- graduate Office of the League. The Executive Board will hold interviews from 3 to 5 p.m. Thursday, and from 2 to 5 p.m. Friday. Miss Heitsch, a resident of Mosher Hall has been especially active on the campus, having served as a fresh- man orientation leader this year as well as the chairman of the League Musicales. In addition, she is treasurer of Mosher House Council, activities chairman of Mosher Hall, a member of the ticket committee for the Jun- ior Girls' Play, and a member of the assembly publicity committee. Last year Miss Heitsch was a mem- ber of the dance group for the Soph- omore Cabaret and the Assembly Ball publicity committee. She transferred from Lake Forest College, Lake For- est, Ill. in 1934. While there she was affiliated with Alpha Lambda Delta honor society. This dance will mark the second annual Assembly Ball ever to be given by the independent women and it is to be the only party given by women during the second semester. It corre- sponds to the Panhellenic Ball given by sorority women during the first semester. Last year's Assembly Ball was attended by more than 300 couples. In spite of the date of the ball coming on Friday the thirteenth, the board scorned the old superstition and selected this time in order to honor the birthday of Miss Kavanagh, this year's president.

Every woman in Ann Arbor who has ever attended the University is a potential member and is urged to pay her dues of one dollar immediate- ly so that she may take advantage of the programs for the remainder of the year. Professor Joseph Haydn will ad- dress the club in February, which will be his first public speech after his return from the Philippines. The March meeting will probably be a luncheon, while in April, Dean C. S. Yoakum; will discuss the new grad- uate school.
