S . i (President Ruthven Will Address New Students At lill Auditorium Today As OrientationWek Opens NO doubt this morning you had breakfast with a gal from Vancouver, and probably you'll have lunch with someone else from Tucson and in be- tween times sandwiching in meetings with the adviser. Life at Michigan has already started for the busy freshmen! And by the time a map of Ann Arbor resembles more than a spiderweb of lines, and by the time you've been persuaded to subscribe to the local rag (adv.), patient advisers will have whisked you through sessions with faculty advisers, lectures, tests and more walking. Then just before rushing descends upon you, you are given a chance . . . just a fighting chance, mind you to master the technique of registration. For your sakes, thank goodness it only comes once when you're a new freshman. And sometime when you aren't looking, they stack a name card up against your chest and proceed to take a picture. Smile your prettiest; but dont worry, it probably will haunt you throughout the year . . . the officials call it an identification (ha!) card. In The Swing of It. Then just before classes begin and during the next two weeks, remem- ber to put on your prettiest face, your smartest clothes, dig up a smooth conversational line, and you're 'in' as far as rushing is concerned. NOTE: your hostesses have been through all this too. Just bear up until the end. And then the football season opens with our° annual tussle with Michigan State. Ask any Michi-" ganman who's going to win! And if you want to have more fun, try walking back with the band up State Street, and sing with the rest when the band strikes up the "Victors" in front of the Union. And then homecomingweekend when all the fraternity' and sorority houses dress up and vie for the best decorations.' But wait until you go to the Union Formal, the first BIG dance of the year, where you'll see everyone you know . . . and even more you don't.; But soft lights-. . . music, sweet and hot . . . it's too good to miss.

Last year, two gals Advisers Plan New Program For Transfers Jean Van Raalte To Head Committee;' Reception And Tours Scheduled Transfer students this year will be provided with a program separate from that of the freshmen as has not been the case in former years, Jean Van, Raalte, '40, head of transfer or- ientation has announced.

Student advisers will meet with their groups from 2 to 4:30 p.m. to- day in the League Council room to plan programs and discuss any prob- lems the transfer students may have. Transfers are invited to attend the program which willbe given at 8 pm. today in the Hill Auditorium where President Ruthven, Dean Alice Lloyd and Dean Joseph Bursley will speak. Campus Sight-Seeing Tour A sight-seeing tour of campus will be conducted by advisers for the transfers tomorrow. Dean Lloyd will hold a reception for men and. women transfers at 8 p.m. tomorrow at the League. Entertainment in the ball- room will follow. Registration will begin Thursday, and advisers will be present in Bar- bour Gymnasium to help transfers arrange their schedules. Thursday night a program describing the year's- activities will be given. A moving picture of "You and Youth and I" will be presented by the Ann Arbor Alumnae. In order to provide convenience in eating during this week, and in order that they may become acquainted with one another, the Russian Tea Room at the League has been reserved for transfers and their advisers, Miss Van Raalte said. Advisers Listed Students who will assist Miss Van Raalte wlil be: Elizabeth Baldwin, '40; Helen Brady, '40; Helen Carter, '40; Marjorie Forrestel, '41; Mary Louise Finney, '41; Doryce Helfrick, '40; Janet Homer, '41; Betty Lom- bard, '41; Martha McCrory, '41SM; Helen Louise Mosher, '40; Mary Jean O'Donnell, '41; Virginia Schwegler, '41; Florence Signaigo, '41; Jean Thompson, '40; and Hilda Van Tuyl, '40.

MARY FRANCES REEK BARBARA BASSETT f; Women's Hour Is Newest Feature; American Folk Dances Will Be Offered All activities in the new fall pro- gram of the International Center, in- cluding several new features, were announced recently by Dr. J. Raleigh Nelson, counselor to foreign students and Director of International Center. The general plan of regular weekly events includes the Sunday evening supper and program, the Monday eve- ning movies, the Wednesday evening musical program, the Thursday after- noon tea, the Thursday after speech class and the Friday night recreation night. To Hold Woman's Hour A Women's Hour, at which a brief" talk will be given by a specialist on a subject of interest to women, will be one of the additional projects planned for the Center. The athletic program will be under the direction of Lilburn Ochs, new director also on the staff of Intramural Sports. Prof. Nelson will also review certain books which he regards as valuable for students desiring to gain an un- derstanding of American customs. Through the courtesy of Henry Ford, the Ford dance orchestra and director will give instruction in American folk dances which were a characteristic feature of early Ameri- can life. Bookshelf Planned Furthermore, a collection of care- fully selected books on American life will constitute the beginning of' a library on the shelves of the south alcove in the Lounge to be called. the Assembly President Head Of. Panhellenic even came through with a taxi-at-the-door for their men. Then just before Christmas holidays, eighteen days this year, Soph Prom takes place. They say politics has left the M campus, but they don't know. When you start to watch the elections of dance officers for the freshmen,' sophomore and junior dances, THEN you know what I mean. And another big ball not to be missed down in the I.M. Building is Interfraternity Ball, with booths 'n' all. But if you've decided that alarm clocks just weren't meant for you, and that all you profs are 'nice eggs', you'dJ "- better change your mind. In those three weeks before, finals, after vacation, everyone goes on library dates and all those Joes and Janes with saddles and highwater trousers l1_ or saddles and plaid skirts start haunting the study halls- But there's one thing to be glad. for . . . J-Hop comes right after exams. The' best dress, the best man, two smooth orchestras, ultra programs, and not a worry in the world and maybe a house party. And if you don't make it this year, next year, it'll probably be even better. Much More Second Semester . . Second semester opens right smack after J-Hop, and everybody goes around making new resolutions as far as classes are concerned. But there are some people who make life miserable by brag- ging-about the four 'pipes' they managed to pick. And the rest of us go around hoping the professors have revised the courses!?ftj Frosh Project and Soph Cabaret buzz around in their littul sweet way, and everybody goes for a 'job', no matter how lowly. And later on, JGP, the "Junior Girls' Play" bursts into bloom with the usual hero and heroine stalkin" the boards. And then in spring come the myr- iads of dances. Crease Ball, when the lawyers go berserk and the engineers' Slide Rule Dance, held on the same night. Capitalist Ball, when all the Business Ad-schoolers get together . . . Then Med. School's Caduceous Ball when the dr.s-to-be celebrate on the night before Washington's birthday . . .. a vacation, you know . . . Architect's Ball, the only costume dance of the year . . . Odonto Ball where the dentists forget all drills 'and pick axes . . . Military Ball when all the ROTC-ers do fancy drill work . . . and Assembly Ball, when the independent women have a chance to even up , things with the men. Michigras, fair-deluxe of Michigan, comes late in the spring. Here's your chance to zoom around -, on loop-o-planes, go through infernos, throw at all1 manners of things, and even a bur-lee-Q!! More fun... And spring of course. If one went skiing and tobogganing in the winter, now's the time to go on; picnics and eat billions of ice cream cones. Hey I ' . careful there . . . exams are on their way . . . and this warm weather can do things to people's_ minds. They're Just College Students.. . And just what doesn't happen to the average U ofg M-ers mind when balmy breezes start blowing. It used to bewilder the taxi drivers, but now they don't blink an eyelid when a few "youngsters" in pink shorts and white nighties and lollipops pile in. In fact it's just another house celebrating with a baby party!!? And what's a shipwreck or two 4 Y among friends . . , with water guns to make it more , * fun? Then speaking of water . . . it doesn't take a water gun to keep most of the inmates of Ann Arbor wet. If Assembly Has Booth In Main League Lobby Independent Women Plan Annual 'Fortnight'; Tea To Be Given October 13 Assembly, campus organization for independent women, will provide an information booth in the main lobby of the League during orientation week for freshman and transfer women. The object of this booth is to answer any questions which these women may have, and to assist the new students in becoming acquainted with the campus organizations for women. Members of Assembly will be available at any time this week to show new students around the League. Frances Nevin, '41, is in charge of the booth, with Virginia Van Wagoner, '41, assisting. The booth will also be provided during Independent Fortnightewhich will begin Friday, Oct. 13 and will continue through Friday, Oct. 27. Janet Sibley, '41, will be general chairman of this Fortnight, Margaret Van Ess, '40, dormitory assistant, Betty Zunk, '42, leaguehouse assist- ant, and Jean Tenofsky, '41, correla- tions chairman. Independent Fortnight will for- mally begin with Assembly Tea, Fri- day, Oct. 13, in the League Ballroom. All new women students who are not pledges or members of sororities are especially invited to this tea, Mary Frances Reek, '40, president of Assem- bly announced, but all independent women should plan to attend. Betty Roberts, '40, will be general chairman of the tea. Sororities Plan To Use 12-Day Rushing Period Panhellenic Desk Will Be In Miss McCormick's Office; Booklet Issued Panhellenic Association will start its rushing season under new rules Saturday, under the direction of Bar- bara Bassett, '40, president. The re- vised rules, which were made last spring, limit the intensive rushing period to 12 days, from Saturd through 'Wednesday, Oct. 4, instead of the three-week period which has been customary in the past few years. There will be a registration fee of $1.50 to be paid by each prospective rushee by noon Monday at the Pan- hellenic desk in Miss McCormick's office in the League. Payment of fee entitles her to a Panhellenic booklet containing important information re- garding each of the sororities on this campus. Instituted last year, the payment of a fee was first designed to limit the number of girls going through rushing to those who were interested in pledging. Secretary Appointed Stephanie Parfet, '39, last year's Panhellenic president will act in the capacity of rushing secretary and will be at the booth from 9 a.m. to noon, and from 1 p.m. till 4:30 p.m. every day, along with Panhellenic repre- sentatives, to receive fee and to offer any information requested by rushees.

Rushees need not reply to the printed tea invitations, but they are told in their booklets that they must accept or refuse any' other invitation enclosed, at Open House Saturday or Sunday or by telephone Sunday evening before 11 p.m. It is made clear to them that if they cannot reach a sorority by telephone that evening, they must let the house know the next day.

The hall is named for Madelon L. Stockwell, '74, the first women to enter the University, and is located south of Mosher-Jordan and east of the Women's Athletic Building, at the corner of North University and Ob- servatory Avenues. The 390 women will be housed in 354 rooms, which are still in the process of being con- structed and decorated. Built as all the dormitories on campus are, for comfort and modern convenience, Stockwell Hall will in- clude two large dining halls, a recrea- tion room in each wing, and kitchen- ettes and laundrieis in the basement. Its convenient location near Palmer Field will enable its residents to en- joy athletics at close range, as do the women in Mosher-Jordan.. Want A Sandwich? Take A Day Of f And See If You'reLucky By MARGARET WALSH, Eating crackers and cheese in your own room may sound like a starving poet, but we sometimes wonder if it might not be preferable to trying to wrangle a meal from one of the fa- mous lunch spots of Ann Arbor the first week of school. With upwards of eight thousand students all eating on the town until dormitories, League houses, and oth- er residences start serving meals, res- taurants resemble a madhouse on a Saturday night. If one is among those fortunate souls who manage to get in the door at all, hopes of get- ting something to eat run high-but not for long. Suddenly spying your last year's roommate at the back table, you contemplate the possibili- ties of plowing your way through the throng to share his chances of get- ting a lunch. But the impossible looks terribly forbidding at times, and you settle it with a shriek in his direction. Cure Ham While You Wait suddenly realize that the ham has to be cured before you get it. Another three years, at least! Cokes are a wonderful institution, and have often been known to stand in for a meal, though your family doctor may have different ideas. It is at least obtainable before you meet your unhappy end through starva- tion, and it's a great life-most of us want to live. Too Much "Beer Barrel" The "Beer Barrel Polka" is a won- derful song, and personally, we are all for it. But even a classic like that loses some of its intangible charm after the first 3,000 times you hear it, and 10 times during one meal is almost too much. If only we had a nickel, we might play something new, but even at that, if we did have one, some "Beer Barrel" fan would have two, and beat us to it. Such is life. Meals in the same place day after day get awfully boring, but it's the true answer for being happy and "Wholesome"-maybe it isn't so bad I
