women, who form one branch of As-

an invitation to all men on campus,
servicemen and civilians, to be their

dancing numbers together with a
novelty act.
Mixer type dances will be the or-
der of the day, according to Teddy
Morse, publicity chairman. "There
will be several mixer dances in order

people as possible and so that no one
will be left on the sidelines," Miss
Morse; announced.

Junior Project
Play Petitioning-
Hits New High
Petitioning for the central com-
mittee positions of JG Play assumed
record proportions last week when
approximately 70 petitions were re-
ceived and over 100 women signed
up to work on the play.
Late petitions, if accompanied by
an adequate excuse, may be turned
in at the League Undergraduate Of-
fice in the League from 3 p. m. to 5
p. m. tomorrow.
Interviewing for the play positions
will begin at 3 p. m. to 5 p. m. to-
morrow and continue through Fri-
day. Women should sign up for the
time of the interviews on the sign-
up sheets provided in the Undergrad
Office. In choosing a woman for a
particular position, emphasis will be
placed upon her experience and
qualifications. " Interviewing will be
done by the Junior Girls' Project
Central Committee.
Although the heads of the com-
mittees will be selected as the result
of this interviewing, women who
want to work on the various com-
mittees can still sign up on the slips
provided in the Undergrad Office.
The committees are as follows: pro-
gram, costume, dance, music, script,
stage force, ushers, property, scen-
ery, publicity, tickets, and make-up.
Although many good suggestions
for the theme have already been pro-
posed on the various petitions, the
JGP Central Committee is still look-
ing for more. Ideas for the theme
may be put on the same slips.
ed by Florene Wilkins, Assembly
president, who said, "Our dance is
to provide an opportunity for the
Independent League women, who'
make up one of the most important
branches of Assembly, to meet to-
gether at their own social func-
tion."

Soph Cabaret, To Be Discussed
There will be a mass meeting of all
sophomore women at 5 p. in. Wed-
nesday in the League for the pur-
pose of considering the establish-
ment of another branch of Soph
Project.
The present central committee of
Soph Project has been pleased with
the turnout for its hospital volun-
teer service and feels that it is go-
ing so well that the sophomore class
is capableof taking on an additional
project. It will be run by an entire
new central committee while the
present committee will continue to
be in charge of the hospital service.
It has been suggested that the
additional project be an attempt
to revive Soph Cabaret to which
the sophomore class devoted its
entire efforts before the advent of
war. Not only will a traditional
campus event be revived by the
present sophomore class, but it will
give more sophomore women a
chance to petition and become act-
ive in campus activities.
The proceeds from the proposed
revived cabaret would be donated
to some worthy campus fund for
students and petitioning would take
place before the end of the present
semester. The new central commit-
tee will begin plans as soon as it
is chosen, and it is hoped that Soph
Cabaret will be presented toward
the beginning of next semester.
Soph Cabaret, in former years,
took over the League for an entire
week-end and featured floor shows,
plays, dancetroutines, games, coke
bars and even taxi-dancing with
coeds acting as hostesses.
Events commenced on Friday
night, continued on Saturday after-
noon, and the climax was reached
with a gala turnout on Saturday
night. Each year a different theme
was carried out in the various rooms
which the Cabaret took over for
the affair. These themes were car-
ried out to the fullest extent with
elaborate decorations and costumes.

5 p. in. this afternoon at Hill House,

Local Mothers
Asked To Try
Proxy Parents
An appeal to the mothers of Ann
Arbor was made yesterday by the
Child Care committee, sponsors of
the Proxy Parent service.
"We have more than enough coeds
to help in the Proxy Parents, but we
do not have enough calls to use all of
the volunteers," said Naomi Miller,
chairman of the committee, "and we
feel that some of the parents of Ann
Arbor do not know about this service
that the coeds of the University are
offering."
Women to take care of children
are available to local mothers every
afternoon of the week, all day Satur-
day and Sunday and week day eve-
nings unti 10:40 p.m. On the week-
end nights the coeds must be home
by 12:30 a.m. and on Sunday at 11
p.m. It is possible to obtain later
permission on the week-ends for the
coeds if -the request is placed at least
two days in advance.
Transportation to the homes is
expected to be furnished and if the
coed stays out beyond hours, she is
to be seen safely home.
The rates for the coeds are 30 cents
an hour, if they can do homework,
and 60 cents per hour if their time is
otherwise occupied. All calls for the
Proxy Parents may be made to the
Michigan League, 2-3251, in the Un-
dergraduate Office, or to Martha
Lovett, at 2-4547.
