ing the Caduceus emblem in red will
be distributed as favors.
Caduceus Ball is sponsored annu-
ally by Galens, local honorary medi-
cal service fraternity. The first
dance was held in February 1934,
when medics decided that the medi-
cal school should have a closed dance
similar to the Engineers' Slide Rule
Ball.
The dance received its name from
the universal medical emblem, the
Caduceus. A staff with coiled ser-
pents and topped with wings, the in-
signia was originally the staff of
Hermes, Greek deity, messenger of
the gods. It was later adopted by the
U. S. Army as a Medical Corps em-
blem.
Caduceus Ball is traditionally lim-
ited to medical students and members
of the medical faculty. Chairman of
this year's affair is Ken Repola, with
Harold Leuben, Robert Dobbie, and
Ed Sundell acting as committee
chairmen. All committee members
are seniors in medical school and
members of Galens.

STUDENTS ONLY:
League Introduces New Policy
f/ . ,
By BETTY HAHNEMAN
The Grand Rapids Room of the
League is now open every night for
informal dancing and games, as a
part of the League Board of Gover-
nors' new policy of designating a
greater portion of the rooms in the
League Building for student activi-
ties.
Other rooms which are to be used
solely for undergraduate functions
are the Hussey Room and Game
Room on the second floor, the A, B,
C, D, and E Rooms on the third floor,
the Russian Tea Room on the main
floor, and the laundry room in the
basement.
Dancing to a juke box is featured
in the Grand Rapids Room from 8
p.m. to midnight Fridays and Satur-
days, from 7 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Sun-
days, and from 7 p.m. to, 10 p.m. week
nights. Card tables are also avail-
able in this room for those who pre-
fer bridge and other card games.
The Hussey Room serves as a study
room, and is furnished with tables
and chairs and additional comforta-
ble furniture. Since this room is
solely for study purposes, students
using it must maintain silence in it
at all times.
The Game Room will serve as a
workroom for campus project where
undergraduate men and women may
work on posters and other publicity
projects, and where they may leave
their materials.
The A, B, and C Rooms are avail-
able as projects rooms for women's
activities such as JGPIay and Sopho-
more Cabaret. The D Room now
serves as the Assembly Office, while
the Panhellenic Association Office is
located in the E Room.
According to .Miss Ethel McCor-
mick, League Social Director, a spe-
cial feature of the new policy is the
designation of the Russian Tea Room
as a place where students who must
bring their lunches may eat. The
only stipulation governing the use
of this room as a lunch room is that
it must be left exactly as it was found
by students eating there. Kitchen
facilities are available for the prep-
aration of tea or other beverages,
Miss McCormick added.
"The League Library is being ex-
panded from a browsing' library into
a study library. Many new books for
literature courses are now in the li-
brary, which is open to all women
students," Miss McCormick contin-
ued. The library is located on the
third floor of the League Building.
The Kalamazoo and Henderson
Rooms on the third floor are now re-
served for use by alumnae groups.
All undergraduate groups wishing to
arrange for the use of rooms should
check with the Undergraduate Of-
fice or with Miss McCormick to see
whether rooms will be available at
the time of their meetings.
