In accordance with its new policy, PACI will coordinate the work of "Final Fling," PACI's last T- dance of this semester, will be held from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Thurs- day in the ballroom of the League. The theme will be "Bluebook Blues," and 10 hosts and hostesses, selected from the PACT organiza- tions, will officiate at the dance. the four organizations in regard to charities, dances, general parleys and any other projects which these groups may sponsor.

Representatives on the central com- mittee are Charlotte Thompson, '43, and Patricia Hadley, '42, from Pan- hellenic; Jean Krise, '42, and Miss Lyman from Assembly; Emil Misura, '43E, and Strain representing Con- gress; and Ted McClogan, '42, and Bourquin from Interfraternity Coun- cil.

They will also bring sug- gestions from the individual organi- zations for improvements or changes. The PACI members will also bring reports of the committee's activities to the Panhellenic, Assembly, Con- gress and Interfraternity Council meetings. , Concert To Be Given For Faculty Women The Little Symphony Orchestra, directed by Thor Johnson, will give a concert for members of the Fac- ulty Women's Club and their guests at 3 p.m. Wednesday in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.

Representatives of the Assembly Board who will conduct the inter- views include the four officers of Assembly and the president of each of the four groups making up the organization. Officers, besides Miss Walpole, are Elizabeth Lyman, '41, vice-president, Betty Hall, '41, secre- tary, and Anne Crowley, '41, treas- urer. Presidents of the groups are Jean Krise, '42, of the Ann Arbor Inde- pendents; Frances Nevin, '41, of dor- mitories; Barbara Ann Freidberg, '43, of League houses; and Sara Jane Hauke, '42, of Beta Kappa Rho. Miss Walpole stressed the valve of interviews. "Even though a per- son didn't petition for a chairman- ship," she said, "the experience of being interviewed will be valuable for future occasions. Although it was necessary to petition for committee jobs, it is not required that one be interviewed except for committee chairmanships. Central committee positions open for competition are general chairman (music), assistant general chairman (merits), co-heads of publicity, tick- ets and decorations, finance, and chairman of the patrons and pro- gram committee. Applicants are re- quested to bring their eligibility cards to the interviewing. i 1 f t x 3 c t A t t After awakening the children wan- they could do nothing about it any- der into the gingerbread house of how, but I think the campus felt it the forest witch who tries to push failed by not doing what it could Gretel into the oven.

Is it skating at the j jArboretum ... orl The largest liner in America until the recent building of the "America" was not quite the palace of luxury that it had been while taking vaca- tioners to Europe. Everyone was subjected to the in-! conveniences, even Toscanini and Helena. Rubenstein and former Am- bassador Kennedy's children. Such celebrities, who add interest to every ccean voyage, made other passengers who had left homes abroad or had vacations interrupted realize that there were, literally and figuratively, all kinds of people in the same boat. Celebrities Pep Things Up 4 Toscanini went around being very silent, but a friend of his wife's, Aus- trian actress Eleanor Mendelson, gave many interesting and laudatory accounts of him. Miss Rubenstein was quite "the life of the party," and Miss Kennedy started the soliciting for a fund for the families of sailors lost at sea. Everyone did his bit to make an unusual situation a plea- sant one, and the only solemn mo- ments were when everyone crowded into the smoking room at night to hear the European and American news broadcasts. Some passengers were leaving their homeland to seek refuge in an un- known country-and they were happy in realizing their good fortune to es- I cape the war. For the cruisers who were on their way to sunny California. a very plea- ,sant winter trip had come to a quick end. Parties and entertainment for them had at least started but for us no formalities were even begun. How could the program be elaborate if many of the people had lost their filled suit eases and trunks in the scuffle of trains with no set schedule and cars with no gasoline that existed after the war had started? How could it be elaborate if people were leaving Euroue probably never to see it again as they left it?
