Hank Schmidt, vice-president of the Engineering Council, would lhave headed the Engineering Ball Cornmilttee by virtue of his position as -Bob Milnor, editor-in-chief of the Technic, would automatically have headed the Slide Rule Ball. As the two affairs have been combined Schmidt and Milnor are co-chairmen. Other tommittee members are Joe Linker and Bill Powers as ticket chairmen, John Clipert, ballroom chairman, Rupert Straub, orchestra. Dick Passman and Al Bek head the publicity committee. Bek is the new- ly elected president of the engineer- ing school senior class. All engineers are looking forwardl Wo one of the highlights of the eve- ning which will be the return of their missing slide rule, according to Bek. The prized possession has been missing since the last Slide Rule Ball, and rumors indicate that the lawyers are guilty of the theft. The lawyers are expected to appear shortly be- fore midnight. "Although the Engineers could not. select their queen we are certain that she will be there," Bek said. He also reminded the men that corsages are not permitted. The USO dancing class for serv- icemen will be held at 7 p.m. today in the ballroom of the USO Club. All servicemen are invited to at- tend. The class will be taught by Lt. Flegal and doors will be closed at 7:15 p.m. 40 The regular Friday night dance will begin after the class, 8 p.m. to midnight. All. servicemen and junior hostesses may attend. Mortar Board Initiates 15 Senior WonmI To the melody of "Thy Ideals," members of Mortar Board, national honorary society for senior women, stalked the campus in their tradi- tional caps and gowns Tuesday night, invading sororities and dormitories for the members tapped at installa-; tion. The new members, elrted on the basis of outstanding scholarship, leadership and service, were then ini- tiated in the League chapel and re- ceived their pins, small mortarboards with the Greek letters Pi Sigma Alpha inscribed on them. An infor- mal get-together followed the initia- tion. Those initiated were Patricia Coul- te', Chi Omega; Shelby Dietrich, Kappa Kappa Gamma; Harriet Fischel, Chi Omega; Cornelia Groef- sema, Betsy Barbour; Marjorie Hall, Martha Cook; Betty Harrison, Mar- tha Cook, and Mary Ann Jones, Kappa Alpha Theta. The list continues with Margaret Laubengayer, Alpha Chi Omega; Jean Loree, Chi Omega; Natalie Mat- tern, Kappa Kappa Gamma; Deborah Parry, Gamma Phi Beta; Evelynj Phillips, Adelia Cheever; Marjorie Rosmarin, Alpha Epsilon Phi; Ann Terbrueggen, Martha Cook, and Bet -I ty Willemin, Alpha Chi Omega.

As a result student's faces are blossoming out everywhere with tans (for the lucky ones), burns (for the. unfortunate ones), and freckles (for, alas, both kinds.) On a typical sunny afternoon lawns are strewn with Michiganites after their quota of vitamin D. Blankets are spread out, books scattered lazily about, and shoes often kicked cas- ually off--truly a peaceful sight. Dormitory sun porches are also in the limelight this time of year. For. after all, where else could you get a tan, the daily gossip, and your lessons all at the same time. Perhaps we'd better just leave it with a tan and gossip. No matter how you look at it the sun is -good for you so get out in it. After all, there are only 1,000 sunny hours in Ann Arbor a year (it's a fact), so let's not let any be wasted. Dancing in the League Ballroom ,Gill be discontinued today and to- morrow because of the Slide Rule and Unions Balls, according to League officials. Help Shortage Remains Acute, At St. Joseph's By SERENE SHEPPARD No institution has felt the acute manpower shortage as strongly as the hospitals. Today, when the health of every individual is so important to the war effort, the lack of help in these hospitals constitutes a grave danger. The Michigan coeds have failed to recognize this danger. St. Joseph's Hospital has repeatedly asked for coed volunteers: yet up to date it has received little support. Mrs. Wanzig, head of the volun- teers at St. Joseph's, says, "Coeds are vitally needed to carry trays during meal hours from noon to 2 p.m. and from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. However, any other time will help out. Assis- tance in the nursery, clerical work, and ward duty are the tasks which require coed help." No costume is necessary. No regu- lar hours are required. There is no preliminary orientation. Coeds may go over at a convenient time and begin their work. The need for volunteers is so great that the requirements have' been re- laxed to remove all possible excuses. How can anyone fail to recognize the urgency of the situation? With this, urgency in mind, it is the duty of every coed to cooperate wholeheart- edly in alleviating the shortage at St. Joseph's. '47 Corps To Close Clean-Up Week Today Official inspection at 4 p.m. today of the nine sections on campus, clean- ed by the '47 Corps, will bring Cam- pus Clean-Up Week to a close, ac- cording to Estelle Klein, '47, chair- man of the Freshman Project. A prize in the form of a tin can trophy will be awarded to the fresh- man dormitory or league house whose campus section is judged the cleanest. Those comprising the inspection com- mittee will be Dean Erich A. Walter, Miss Ethel A. McCormick, League .Social Director, Monna Heath, '44, and the members of the Freshman Project Central Committee.
