By JOSEPH R. MILILLO
Union Staff Member
Our University of today has many
old traditions. Of all those tradi-
tions, Homecoming is one of the gay-
est, most colorful, and liveliest of
them all. It is during Homecoming
that the fraternity and sorority
houses are given a good cleaning
and beauty treatment and are then
lavishly decorated with posters and
banners. It is then that the stu-
dents. on campus get together to
show their parents and guests the
campus and to give them a taste of
college life.
It all began in the early spring
of 1930; when Mr. Albert Donohue,
then president 'of the Executive
Council of the Michigan Union
thought of having a celebration to
which the parents of "the students
could be invited, something that
would arouse the interest of the
parents.
But the end of the semester was
drawing near and nothing could be
done about it until the beginning of
the next semester. That September,
a large meeting was called to which
fourteen different campus organiza-
tions, including the University, were
invited. Mr. Donohue then proceed-
ed to tell the gathering his ideas and
plans.
Everyone ' immediately became'
interested and it was decided to
form a committee for the purpose
of forming definite plans from the'
ideas submitted. The committee
was given the title "Committee for
the First Annual Homecoming,"
Awith Mr. Donohue as chairman.
Miss Eleanor Cooke, president of
the Michigan League, as vice-chair-
man, and H. O. Warren of the Union
an; Daily as secretary. At first, a
simple ordinary May Day was sug-
gested, but so much enthusiasm was
shown that it was decided to make
Homecoming a three day affair, thus
enabling more activities to be placed
in the schedule.
After all the plans had been com-
pleted, it was necessary that all the
parents, alumnae, and guests be
invited to the Homecoming. This
might seem like an ordinary job, but
in reality it was a tremendous task.
Seven thousand personal letters were
typed and sent from the student
offices of the Union. These letters
were sent to the parents of those
students living within a radius of
five hundred miles of Ann Arbor.

Sports Cubs
Will Meet
Those Interested in Skating
Or Becoming Officials Invited
Newest of the WAA Sport Clubs,
the Officials Club, under the mana-
gership of Irene Turner, '46, is be-
ginning a new season with plans that
will make every member a competent
sports official.
Every coed on campus is eligible
to become a member of this club.
which will hold its first meeting at
4:30 p.m. tomorrow in the WAB.
"The University needs student of-
ficials badly," said Miss Turner,."and
those coeds who have obtained a
rating of 'National' may charge a fee
for officiating at games. This ex-
perience in sports supervision will
also be useful for those women who
are planning to be Girl Scout Girl
Reserve leaders or a counselor at a
camp, Miss Turner continued.
To obtain a rating of 'Intramural.'
it is necessary to have officiated at
at least two games under the super-
vision of the Dept. of Physical Edu-
cation for Women, and to have taken
and passed with a score of 75 to 85,
the written exam. Those women who
obtain a score of above 85 are
entitled to the title of 'National'
rating. These are recorded at the
headquarters in Washington.
"With the Volley ball and Basket-
ball tournaments coming up,". Miss
Turner concluded, "those coeds who
have attained their ratings will be
very much in demand as officials and
can perform a very real service for
themselves and for the games."'
Embryonic Sonja Henies and other
figure skaters will have an opportun-
ity to meet with the WAA Sponsored
Club at 5 p.m. Monday in the Fen-
cing Room of the Barbour Gym.
The only prerequisites for mem-
bership are a pair of figure skates
and the desire to learn, according to
Ruth Wineberg, '46, manager of this
club.
Meetings will be arranged on Mon-
day and tynes for instruction and
practice will be given.
Faculty Women

according to Ann Schutz, publi-
city chairman.

Coed Volunteers Brighten Lives
Of Lonely Hospital Patients

Age: 5.

Department: Surgery.
"Here, nurse, see that pretty white
doggie? I've got a doggie waiting
for me to come home. I'm going
home soon."
"Sure, Pat, that's a nice doggie."

the children's ward of University
Hospital, recovering from an opera-

brain resulting from it.
Children Need Attention
She is but one of many children

she was admitted, her whole head
was full of long blond curls, but

Other young patients in the chil-
dren's wing have arms, legs, or en-
tire bodies in casts. They read, make
model airplanes, and even feed each
other. They're cheerful, regardless
of their condition.
Ask any volunteer where she'd like
to work, and she'd probably answer,
"pediatrics." She'll tell you that
working with youngsters, seeing how
they overcome their handicaps, know-
ing that some face life without a leg
or arm, helping to ease time which
lays heavily upon them, makes her
realize how fortunate she is.
record case histories and see people
the country over who come to be
relieved of pain and suffering.
Some coeds wheel patients to the
x-ray department or clinics, and still
others work on private floors where
there is also an acute shortage of
nurses.
Must Be Conscientious
Sophomore women are especially
urged to support their class project,
but only women who fully understand
the vital importance of the work will
be accepted.
Soph Project's central committee
has stated that coeds must realize
that it is their duty to be reliable,
conscientious, and thoroughly re-
sponsible.
Both hospitals need workers. They
depend upon them. Won't you help
Pat and others like her? Won't you
volunteer?

of all sorority social chairmen at 3

more definite plans may be made re-
garding exchange dinners among the

with half of the members of another
until each sorority has exchanged a
