Of Dance To Be Held March 4
Petiticning for committee positions
on the annual Assembly Ball, to be
held March 4, will begin tomorrow
and will continue until 5 p.m. Fri-
day in the Undergraduate office of
the League, Patricia Walpole, '41,
president of Assembly, has an-
nounced.
Interviewing for central committee
jobs will be conducted by represent-
atives of the Assembly Board Wed-
nesday through Friday, Jan. 22 to 24,
in the Kalamazoo Room of the
League, Miss Walpole added. The in-
terviews will be conducted by the
four officers of Assembly and presi-
dents of each of the four groups mak-
ing up the Assembly organization;
the Leaguc house, group dormitories,
Ann Arbor Independents and Beta.
Kappa Rho.
Freshmen May Petition
At their meeting last week, the
Board representativesdagreed that
freshmen will be allowed to petition,
if they are positive that they will be
eligible next semester. Otherwise,'
the customary ruling regarding pe-
tioning will be in effect.
The Assembly Ball. is sponsored
each year by the independent women
on campus and any non-affiliated
woman may petition for a job on
the central committee. It is not nec-
essary, Miss Walpole said, but would
be a valuable experience to be in-
terviewed, even though not petition-
ing for a central committee position.
Three Co-heads Listed
Chairmanships for the dance in-
clude three co-heads. They are gen-
eral chairman, who also is head of
the music committee, assistant gen-
eral chairman, also in charge of mer-
its, co-chairmen of publicity, tickets,
and decoration, finance head, and
chairman of a committee for patrons
En program.
,,Miss Walpole has asked that all
applicants state their ideas fully and
carefully on the petition blank before
it is handed in, so that the merits
of each applicant can be weighed
carefully and the best possible com-
mittee chosen. Any independent who
wants to work, must petition even
though she does not want a central
committee post.
Intramural Squads

point victory over Betsy Barbour

wider margin of 12-7 forced Adelia
Cheever out of play.

pha Phi 16-6 Wednesday, while Pi
Beta Phi held' their position in the
tournament through the, default 01

'I ____________________________________
This is an open letter tohLeague
House women. As one of the four
main divisions of the Assembly or-
ganization; they're on the spot rightr
now. They're admittedly one of the
weakest links in the chain, and ofj
course everyone knows the truth oft
that old saw about the strength of
any organization equalling its weak-
est link.
For years, League House women
have been kicking that all the choice1
committee positions fall to the dor-
mitory women. The directors of As-
sembly have always vigorously denied
this, but in an effort to offset any
unintentional favoritism, Assembly
sponsored a project last semester and
opened committee positions to all in-
dependents except dormitory resi-
dents.
Opportunity Knocks Again
The response was most disheart-
ening. So few candidates petitioned
for positions that Assembly was forced
to turn over the direction of the pro-'
ject to a permanent Assembly com-
mittee. So let's hear no more about
that!
Petitioning for the biggest Assembly
project of the year starts tomorrow.
You can read about the opportunities
offered on the Assemby Ball Conm-
mittees on this same page, and if
you're at all interested in seeing one
of the nicest campus projects achieve
a deserved success, I urge you most
wholeheartedly to petition.
And if you're at all interested in
seeing that Michigan's reputation as
one of the strongholds of Independ-
ent activity continue, take a little
active interest in the affairs of your
Assembly organization.
Are You A Cynic?
Perhaps you've never been encour-
aged to go out for extra-curricular
activities. Perhaps your world-weary
roommate or your equally world-
weary landlady has inculcated the
attitude of cynicism in you. These
are conditioning factors that dampen
the spirit of anyone interested in
rervice to the campus, as well as fun
for the individual. But please, please,
don't let them gyp you out of half
the fun of your college life.
Assembly is your organization. It
was established and is being main-
tained in your interest. It needs your
help to continue.

EDITH LEVEENE, 40
Betrothals Of Marian Ferguson,
Edith Leveene, Ann Vedder
Are Revealed
Mrs. Dora Leveene of Mount Ver-
non, New York, has announced the
engagement of her daughter, Edith,
'41, to George Nadler, '41, son of Mrs.
Rose Pohly and Mr. Charles Nadler.
The announcement was also made
known at an open house held New
Year's day at Mr. Nadler's home in
Cleveland, O.
Miss Leveene is a member of Assem-
bly Board and was a member of The
Daily staff. She has also done in-
tramural debating for the University'
and worked on various League pro-
jects.
Mr. Nadler is a member of Phi
Sigma Delta fraternity. He was a
member of the Interfraternity Coun-'
cil and at present holds a chairman-
ship on the Senior Ball Committee.
No date has been set for the wed-
ding.
Ferguson-Hindmarsh
Mr. and Mrs. Eric Ferguson of Ann
Arbor announce the engagement of
their daughter, Marian, to John
Hindmarsh, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Hindmarsh of Oakville, Ontario.
Miss Ferguson, '40, is a member of
Alpha Phi, and Scroll honorary soci-
ety. She worked on The Daily edi-
torial staff three years, and held the
position of junior night editor. Mr.
Hindmarsh graduated from McMas-
One of the perennial questions is
again about to come forth with the
changing of semesters and in some
cases the changing of rooms. "What
shall I do, I don't have any place to
put this."
With a little ingenuity though, this
problem can be easily solved. A
clever idea is to visit a furniture store
and purchase a small set of inex-
pensive drawers which will stand
about three feet from the floor. There
are usually four drawersin such a
piece. While there, select a small
stool if your budget will take it. This
can be had in the unfinished wood
for much less and it is a simple mat-
ter to stain it yourself. A round
mirror hung from the wall and a
dresser scarf is all that is needed to
complete the idea. Behold, you not
only have the extra drawer space
but a smart dressing table besides.
As mentioned it is not necessary to
buy the stool. A good sturdy box
covered with a bright material will
serve the purpose just as well.
Another novel idea, if you lack
closet space and have ample room is
to buy a collapsible closet. This
closet stands about six feet from the
floor and is about two feet wide.
Concert To Be Held
Classical pieces will be played at
the regular Union concert hour, from
4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. tomorrow on the
Union Terrace. Beethoven's 5th Sym-
phony and Tchaikovsky's 4th Sym-
phony will be the featured recordings.
