EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the last in a
series of articles on the Michigan League,
its facilities, activities and personnel.
Today's article is concerned with seve-
ral committees which function in con-
junction with League Council.
One of the important activities
conducted by University coeds is ori-
entation for both freshmen and
transfer women. The orientation
committee confers with University
officials on orientation procedure
and introduces the new student to
both the academic and social phases
of college living. Orientation periods
are scheduled at the beginning of
each full semester, and in addition
have been carried on for the sum-
mer program.
At the present time, various cam-
pus drives, such as Red Cross, In-
fantile Paralysis Drive, or Norwegian
Relief are conducted by the treasur-
er of the League Council, with the
aid of two junior assistants. How-
ever, the 1946-47 League Council
will have a special Drives chairman
as one of its members in addition to
the treasurer.
Social Committee
Along the social line, the Social
Committee is responsible for those

the traditional spring dance, and
only dental students may attend. Bill
Layton and his new campus orches-
tra, with Patti DuPont on the vocals,
will be featured on the bandstand at
this semi-formal dance.
Private parties at dental frater-
nities will precede the event. Odonto
means "of the tooth," and the dance
was originated when dental students
believed they should have a closed
dance similar to the Engineer's Slide
Rule Ball and the medical Caduceus
Ball.

smooth-running Ruthven Teas. So-
cial Committee members serve as
hostesses and guides at the teas and
recently sponsored a coed bridge and
fashion show at the League. Dorms
and sororities, under the guidance of
the Social Committee, give teas at
their own residences for foreign stu-
dents on campus. The houses are no-
tified of the dates and specific plans
are left up to them.
This is the season when Merit-
Tutorial committee swings into high
gear with its tutoring service. All stu-
dents desiring tutors should leave re-
quest slips in the Tutorial Box in the
Undergraduate Office of the League.
The committee also keeps a file of
each coed's activities and these are
utilized by campus honor societies
and the League Social Director in
answering requests for recommenda-
tions.
Dancing Classes
Since the war, the Junior Girls'
Project has been the sponsoring of
dancing classes which are conducted
on Monday nights at the League by
a former Arthur Murray instructor.
Enrollment in the course is high and
a nominal fee is charged for the les-
sons.
Hospital volunteer work has been
carried on since the advent of war,
by Soph Project. Many services are
performed for patients at University
Hospital by coed volunteers such as
carrying trays, fixing beds and read-
ing to them. In addition, women
work in the labs and clinics of the
hospital.
Soph Cabaret
Soph Cabaret is another project
manned by sophomore women and
this is presented in the fall at the
League when floorshows, movies, and
dancing are offered to the student
body.
JG Play is the Junior class project
which is presented in the spring se-
mester for graduating seniors. The
entire show is written, directed and
acted by junior women and has been
a traditional event on campus.
Another active group is the Wom-
en's Glee Club which practices in the
League and presents programs at
varied times during the school year.

Our modern culture is extremely partial to the principle
of continuity, holds that events are factorable out of
anterior events without recourse to anything beyond
events. And when we meet a hiatus in the chain -the
discontinuity between animate and inanimate, for example,
or the fixity of the species -we conveniently turn our
faces, and go on building a culture of sheer relativity.
Historic Christianity boldly faces both continuity and
discontinuity -and manages to keep them from fighting,
