Seven Posts Open
On Ball Committee
Petitioning and interviewing for
Assembly positions for the tradi-
tional spring Assembly-Panhel Ball
will be scheduled from 3 p.m. to 5
p.m. tomorrow through Thursday in
the Ralamazoo Room of the League.
There are seven central committee
positions for the Ball which are open
to independent women. The first is
general chairman whose duty it will
be to coordinate all the ideas of her
committeemen and to set up an
effective organization. The general
chairman will choose the theme of
the dance and it is essential that
she include a theme idea or ideas in
her petition. The other chairmai-
ships are those of publicity, decora-
tions, finance, tickets, music, and
patrons.
The success of the dance de-
pends upon the work of the pub-
licity committee. The publicity
chairman should include in her
petition definite plans for an ac-
tive publicity campaign, introdu-
cing poster and newspaper ideas.
The position of decorations chair-
man demands ingenuity, because
wartime conditions dictate minimum
use of decorations. If programs are
decided upon, the publicity commit-
tee will plan them. The finance
chairman is in charge of the budget.
All bills and expenses are managed
through her committee.
Tickets are chosen by the ticket
chairman, who arranges their print-
ing and sale, working with the pub-1
licity chairman. Her petition should
include detailed plans of sale organ-
ization which will reach all coeds on
campus.
The music chairman secures the
orchestra and ar:anges details con-
nected with the orchestra's arrival.
The coed at the head of the patron
committee draws up the Lst of
dance patrons and takes care of
the invitations. Identical chair-
men, representing Panhel Organi-
zation, will be chosen later.
All independents are urged to peti-
tion for central committee positions.
Petitions may be obtained in the
Undergraduate Office and in Miss
MacCormick's office in the League.
Petitions are to be brought to the
interviews, and each woman peti-
tioning is asked to sign up for an
interviewing time on the slip which
will be posted on the Assembly Office
door in the Kalamazoo Room. An
additional slip will be posted for
women who do not desire to petition,
but who wish to work on the com-
mittees for the Ball.

To Servicemen
By FRANCES POPKINS
Making the serviceman's worries
its own, the Red Cross Home Service
Department acts as a combination
legal, personal, and medical adviser
and guiding angel to our men in the
armed forces, no matter where they
be or how small their problems may
seem.
The Red Cross, as well as the
military, knows that a worried sol-
dier is a poor risk on the battlefield
and in the specialized training neces-
sary in this mechanized war. From
the time a man is inducted, he is
eligible for the services which the
Home Service provides.
Financial Assistance
If the inductee finds that his going
will put too much of a financial
strain on his family income, he may
apply to the Red Cross for tempor-
ary assistance and information re-
garding allowances, government ben-
efits, and allotments for his family.
The Home Service Department of
the Ann Arbor Red Cross handles
approximately 600 cases monthly,
many of which include service of
this type.
A last hope for anxious families
who have not heard from their par-
ticular serviceman in months lies in
the information the Red Cross can
furnish them as to his whereabouts
and welfare. Many families in Ann
Arbor have received news of their
sons who have been prisoners of war
through the reports of the Red Cross
Field Director who has visited his
prison camp.
Social Histories Used
When the military and naval au-
thorities are trying to decide ques-
tions of furlough or discharge, or
medical diagnosis and treatment,
they may call on the Red Cross for
a "social history" of the man in
question. This information is a most
detailed summary of the service-
man's background, and is obtained
from the family. It is used especially
for the information of the medical
officer when the man has been found
to be emotionally unstable.
All these services and more com-
prise the never-ending work of the
Red Cross Home Service Depart-
ment, which is dedicated to assisting
our fighting men in every way that
it can.

Campus-Wide
WAA Tourney
Will Be Held
A campus-wide ping pong tourna-
ment sponsored by WAA will begin
tomorrow with the games played off
within the individual residences.
Athletic chairmen in each house
should take care of the tournament
for their particular group. That in-
cludes telling the coeds in their hou-
ses about the tournament, making a
tournament chart of the scheduled
games to be played and seeing that
the games are played off within the
time set.
From these tournaments which will
be held within women's residences
two women will be selected to repre-
sent each league house or sorority.
five girls will represent the smaller
dorms, and ten women will repre-
sent Stockwell, Mosher and Jordan.
Lists Turned In
A list of all those who are to rep-
resent their houses in the tourna-
mnent must have their names, addres-
ses and telephone numbers turned
into Barbour Gym not later than
Friday, March 24. The slip should
also indicate the house being repre-
sented and may be placed in a spe-
cial box at the gym.
From this list of names, a tourna-
ment chart will be made out and
posted inrthe gym. Deadline dates
for the rounds of play will be set
and all games must be played before
that time.
Rules May Be Obtained
After the game is played, the win-
ner being decided by two out of three
games, the person who wins must
post her name in the bracket for it
and also indicate the scores by which
she won.
Facilities for playing ping pong
can be found at Barbour Gym, Hillel,
WAB and some of the dormitories.

copy at Barbour Gym. Any questions
that might arise will be answered by

New Project To Qive Christmas
Cheer To Servicemen
The mention of Christmas for
those at home seems rather pre- to be
mature but Christmas plans for those coeds
overseas are right in season. > and a
Men on all fighting fronts need ject.
and deserve the best that people at Woi
home can give them. Adding to their boxes
meager Christmas cheer was one of of the
the undertakings of civilians last be an
year and will be continued again.-
this year.
Plans are being made to start
the project on campus. All coeds
who can do artistic work, espe-
cially art students, are urged to
take an active interest in the pro-
ject as soon as the detailed plans
are announced.
Last year Christmas cards and
decorations were sent overseas in
boxes which supplied 320 units of
servicemen with original Christmas
cards to send to their family and
friends at home. Soldiers, sailors
and marines in isolated and out-of-
the-way places have no means of
obtaining the desired cards except
through shipments from this coun-
try.
In addition to the cards, all of
which were handmade, clever dec-
orations for tables were sent. Small
pert three dimensional figures
brightened up food trays, yuletide
pictures for bulletin boards radi-
ated cheer. Tired battle-worn fa-
ces lifted upon seeing small evi-1
dences of Christmas as they re-
membered it at home.
So few cards and decorations were
made and they proved so popular
that the work of supplying them is
Junior Women
Finish Tryouts
For Class Play
"Swing those hips-front, side,
back, side." "Try the scale a little
higher." "Would you read that part
again please?" These were some of
the sounds which drifted from the
Grand Rapids Room of the League
Wednesday. Thursday, and Friday,
when approximately 150 junior wo-
men tried out for the cast of Junior
Girls play.
Tryouts and judges were good-
natured throughout the ordeal. They
remained undaunted even when the
Women's Glee Club claimed the
Grand Rapids Room as its regular
practice room, and tryouts had to be
moved en masse upstairs to another
room.
Acting Tryouts
Carol McCormick, director, and
Wanda Mathias, assistant director,
heard the acting tryouts. Prospec-
tive actresses used the first scene of
the play for their reading tryouts.
Before testing the women on the
parts, Miss McCormick explained the
setting of the play and the character
types which the tryouts would read.
Using choral music and the musi-
cal scales as their criterion, Masaka
Ono and Anne Crossley, co-chairmen
of the music selections, judged -the
singing tests.
Variety of T'utines
The dan( tests were the most
amusing and :he most strenuous of
any of the tryouts. Jayne Gourley,
dance chairman, put the dancers
through a variety of routines-from
clapping their hands to rotating
their hips. Besides making the try-
outs do many diverse things, Miss
Gourley tried to issue the different,
instructions as fast as possible so
that she would be able to tell which
women could catch on to the dance
steps the fastest.
