Annual Spring Dance
_.
Petitioning for the seven Assembly
central committee positions for the
Assembly-Panhellenic Ball, which is
to be held this spring, will begin to-
day and continue through Saturday
for all eligible independent women.
The positions which are open gen-
eral chairman, publicity, decorations,
music, tickets, patrons, and finance.
The .Assembly chairmen will work in
cooperation with Panhel chairmen
who will be chosen later.
Dance is Coed-Bid
The tradition of giving the Ball as
a joint affair was started last year
when Assembly and Panhellenic Or-
ganizations presented "Boulevard
Ball," featuring Jerry Wald and his
orchestra.
The dance is unique in that it is
the only all-campus event to which
coeds invite men. This spring Mich-
igan coeds may once again pay back
the men by having them as their
guests for the largest women's affair
on campus.
Petition Ideasf
Ideas for the theme of the Ball
or for any committee positions are
to be included in the petitions and
preferred positions must be designat-
ed. All independent women are urg-
ed to take an active part in organ-
izing and giving the Ball and are
urged to present ideas and plans by
means of their petitions.
Petitions may be obtained in the
Undergraduate Office and in the
Kalamazoo Room of the League. Peti-
tions are to be brought to the inter-{
views.
Interviewing for Assembly positions
for the Assembly-Panhel Ball will be
held from 3 p. m. to 5 p. m. Monday
through Thursday of next week. The
interviews will be held in the Assem-
bly Office in the Kalamazoo Room.

Booklet Aids
Working Coeds
For the college woman interested in
working her way through school, Mrs.
Mary C. Bromage, assistant Dean of
Women, has written a booklet design-
ed to help and inform these coeds on
the best, way to go about it.
The booklet, entitled "Underwrit-
ing Your Own Education," was pub-
lished by the University Press be-
tween semesters, and copies have been
distributed to all Michigan high
school principals and University
alumni associations.
Emphasizing the need for careful
planning of outside work for the stu-
dent, Dean Bromage explains the
many ways in which the Office of the
Den of Women can help in securing
part-time work for coeds who must
earn their expenses.
Copies of the booklet are available
now free of charge in the Office of
the Dean of Women.
There will be an Assembly Board
meeting for all dormitory house
tresidents at 5 p. m. today in the
Kalamazoo Room of the League.

Members of the tryout staff are
given instruction in all types of
writimg from straight news copy
