Congress Plans
Cleaning, Pressing, Shoe
Repairs Are Included
Under 'Booster' System
In an effort to ease the strain of
the student pocketbook, Congress, in-
dependent men's organization will
inaugurate this fall a Booster Card
plan under which students will re-
ceive special discount rates on such
services as cleaning, pressing and
shoe repair. Sale of voucher cards,
which entitle the student or faculty
member to the special rate, will be
held from 2 to 5 p.m. today in Room
306 of the Union, according to Phil
Westbrook, '40, President of Con-
gress.
The Booster Card Plan, which was
worked out by Westbrook and Jack
Hoover, '40, chairman of the activi-
ties committee, will offer discounts
up to 30 per cent on such services as
cleaning, pressing and shoe repair.
Cleaning and pressing services for
holders of the Congress cards at
contracted agencies may be obtained
at a 30 per cent discount from the
established Ann Arbor price scale.
Shoe repairing and men's furnishings
and clothing will be given at a 10
per cent discount.
Cards To Cost 50 Cents
- The income from the cards will be
used to supplement the Congress
treasury in the support of such pro-
jects as tutorial systems and a schol-
arship fund. The cards, to be offered
to students and faculty for 50 cents,
will be distributed during Orientation
Week in Room 306 of the Union.
Congress was organized in 1936 to
give independent men the opportuni-
ties and privileges available to fra-
ternity men. Experiencing a rapid
growth, Congress now ranks among
the larger campus organizations.
Plans have been made that promise
close cooperation with the Union and
the. Interfraternity Council.
During the year Congress sponsors
a number of educational social and
sports programs including such di-
vertisements as afternoon dances,
Sunday suppers, and intramural
sports programs. Organization of
men's rooming houses and the spon-
sorships of tutorial systems also rate
among the organization's activities.

tive and District Councils the former

treasurer, committee chairmen, and

the 10 districts into which the in-
dependent men are divided.
Westbrook is this year's president;
Doug Tracy, '40E, and Jay Rockwell,
'40, executive secretaries, Roland
Rhead, '40, secretary-treasurer; Hoo-
ver, chairman of the student welfare

CLASS of '4
WELCOME!
College isn't so fear-
some as it seems the
first day. You'll be get-
ting a lot of advice on
what to do and what not
to do. When it comes to
shirts, ties, shorts, hand-
kerchiefs and collars
you'll do well to heed
advice about buying
Arrow. Two out of three
college men wear Arrow
shirts. They're tops on
every campus because
they fit better, wear
longer and look smarter.
See the local dealer
today and stock up for
the semester.
