Jan. 22 To 24 Independent Women May Seek Jobs On Central Committee 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 Exchange Positions In Battle For Title Intramural basketball title hopes faded for the seven teams which were forced out of the tournament this week. Delta Delta Delta gained a six point victory over Betsy Barbour Tuesday, 18-12. At the same' time, Mosher I defeated Alpha Xi Delta in a low scoring game, 9-5. Zone III's close win over Couzens II showed a battle to the 5-4 closing score the same day, as Newberry's wider margin of 12-7 forced Adelia Cheever out of play. Gamma Phi Beta II whipped Al- pha Phi 16-6 Wednesday, while Pi Beta Phi held' their position in the tournament through the, default 01 Martha Cook. Stockwell I and Palmer House fought the only tie game of the week Thursday, 16-16, as Alpha Gamma Delta took a decisive lead over Alpha Chi Omega, 23-16. Open House Held Alpha Epsilon Phi will hold the first in its series of monthly open houses from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. today etitioning Will Future Nuptials To Highlight Social Calendar y, M 73w e Wite Wigite4i '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. Decoration Tips; Hel In Room WAA SPORTS SCHEDULE: Basketball: At 5:10 Monday; Palmer Coop. vs. Stockwell I.

I i f 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.

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.
