Michigan League which serves as the headquarters for the Women's War Council, the women's alumnae association and other committees. itEvery coed enrolling in the Univer- sity automatically becomes a mem- ber of the organization and is en- titled to use any of its facilities dur- ing her stay. Upon graduation, a coed receives a life membership. Created and preserved by many classes of graduates and undergrad- uates for the participation and en- joyment of the campus, the chapel,' ballroom, lounges, theatre, club rooms, accomodations and cuisine have become integral parts of the establishment. Undergraduate Office Hub of coed activities is the under- graduate office located on the first floor. Here are found the office of the president of the War Council and the head of Judiciary Council, the files of the merit committee, the council room and bulletin boards with the notices of campus activities posted regularly. Across the hall is the office of the social director, Miss Ethel McCor- mick, and at, times rooms on the first floor are opened to the WACs; WAVEs, Spars, and Marines for 'recruiting purposes.

One of the main attractions of the building is an informal garden, open to men only when accompanied by a League member. Surrounded by a high stone wall, this spot, with its trim shrubbery, flowers, and shade trees, provides a cool meeting place for coeds and their friends. A favor- ite place for garden weddings, the garden is also the scene of many teas and receptions. Chapel Scene of Weddings Students and alumnae often re- turn to Ann Arbor to be married in the League chapel, dedicated to Charlotte Blagden, president of the League in 1925. Many of the honor societies hold their initiations there. On weekends, the main ballroom becomes the scene of some of the campus' main social events. Tea dances, school dances, Assembly and Panhellenic Balls and weekend dan- ces with local orchestras are held here. Class project mass meetings are usually held in the ballroom or one of the smaller club rooms. Theatre Included Seating 700 pepole, the Lydia Men- delssohn Theatre, located in the League, is the scene of the plays produced by the Michigan Repertory Players and Play Production. Mov- ies, speakers, and class programs, such as JGP, and so forth are often held there also. The campus surgical dressing unit is located on the second floor of the building as are the Ethel Fountain Hussey and Grand Rapids rooms which contain pianos, easy chairs and sofas for the enjoyment of members.

Freshman Women: In the case of plays , which run throughout the week, -freshmen are expected to at- tend on week-end nights. Permission New Students Asked To Make Dying Spirit a Roaring Flame By PEG WEISS Women's Editor, Summer 1944 An observer in Ann Arbor might parody the remark of a famous football coach of the Irish who, upon entering his team's dressing room during half- time of a losing game, cut his pep talk to one sentence.- "Pardon me," he said, "I thought this was the Notre Dame dressing room." During the last three semesters we might well have said, "Pardon us, but we thought this was the University of Michigan campus." If we could stay around for another semester or so, we might be eating these words, served up by the new freshman class. OR we might not. For the entering freshman will find himself in the midst of a genuine campus revival ... . revival of the spirit which will push our war activities down the home stretch, renew the gay old times at week-end dances and parties, pack the stadium and the field house, and revive the fun and college spirit a few of us can't help but remember. We'd like to be throwing you a "flaming torch," but we aren't-it's only a match. We're just beginning to pull out of a prolonged slump during which the University has been an academic skeleton with only a faint sem- blance of life. Wartime depletion of the male population is our best excuse, but is it quality or quantity we need? The decrease in our numbers is a poor excuse for a decrease in effort. We only "live" once ... in college. College life is unique. You are a citizen of a limited and exclusive world, and living ii this world is fun .. .if you care to take it that way. And make It that wavy. The directions are simple. 1. Go to the forthcoming rally campus leaders will hold. Pick out your spot in campus activities and see what you can make of it. 2. By being cynical you aren't being sophisticated. You're only making a pest of yourself. Criticize, but criticize constructively. The campus is breathing again, and you're the doctor. Welcome, Doel for all late . campus functions not listed above must be obtained from the Office of the Dean of Women. Latenesses: Any lateness of 30 minutes or over makes it necessary for the offender to appear before the Judiciary Council. Social Probation: Any woman who violates the house rules and is brought before the Judiciary Com- mittee may be placed on social pro- bation,, during which time her hours will be restricted. The Jap radio reported the other day that a double ration of "Saki"- a Jap counterpart to alcohol-will be issued to the members of the Jap fleet for their "overwhelminghdefeat inflicted on the American fleet." There has been a hitch reported in the plan. No Saki. Tutorial Committee Aids Scholarship The War Council tutorial service will begin five weeks after the begin- ning of the ..fall. term, it was an- nounced by Bette Willemin, head of the orientation-tutorial committee. Persons who wish to be tutored must sign up. with the committee during the first five weeks of the term, Miss Willemnn said, and tutors will be secured for the courses de- Tutors must have received an A or B in the course, and have prefer- ably taken the course within the past year.

WIse senior women's honorary Coeds Use for the CASUAL MISS Plain Makeup "Be yourself" is the order of the day for coed facial make-up and hair style. Thick, streaked foundations are banned by the, smartest coeds who rebel at dickie collars grimy with sticky cosmetics. Purple lipstick and black nail polish are also on the blacklist. A good brand of carefully selected face powder, cream rouge, non-greasy lipstick and mascara (applied with a light touch) are the requirements for a degree in grooming. Clean, shining hair, representative of frequent shampoos and brushings, is the most popular "crowning glory." Feather cuts have replaced the long straight hair-dos. The exotic, the Hollywood-imitation coed is no long- er the cutie of the classroom. "Around Pd '-I the Cloclk*" -IN S Sweater and skirts to- gether again like cokes .,N and dates.
