By JOAN WILK
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the third in a
series of articles concerning the Michigan
League, its facilities, activities and organi-
zation. Today's discussion deals with As-
sembly and Panhellenic associations.
"Panhellenic and Assembly work
together with full, natural and spon-
tancous coopera ion," stated Miss
Ethel McCormick, social director of
the Michigan League.
Panhellenic is the organization
which represents the eighteen campus
sororities, comprising a membership
of about 725 coeds. Assembly, in ex-
istence for eleven years, has con-
stantly grown to include 125 local
houses comprising a membership of
approximately 3,500 independent
women.
Membership Cards
Assembly, occupying a new office
on the third floor of the League next
to the new Panhellenic office, initi-
ated a new system of membership
cards for all independent coeds dur-
ing the fall .<emester. The cards are a
means of having tangible evidence of
the kind of interest displayed in As-
sembly by independent coeds.
Zone dances are held once a month
for league houses. Two or three zones
plan each function and a central com-
mittee of independent women is ap-
pointed. All men on campus are in-
vited to the monthly open houses
which are held in the League Ball-
room.
Another activity of Assembly is its
Speaker's Bureau, which is formulat-
ing plans to do publicity work with
the Veteran's Committee. The speak-
er's bureau is open for the use of any
campus organization and all league
houses are covered by the speaker's
bureau.
Assembly Activities
Assembly Recognition Night to
honor independent women who have
been outstanding in activities, was'
held last fall, climaxing Independent
Fortnight. Independent Fortnight
was designed to acquaint Independent
women with the activities of Assem-
bly. Teas are also held for new As-
sembly board members.
After a brief orientation meeting
in the fall, each league house and
dormitory president repeats an oath
and is presented with a miniature
gavel at Presidents' Installation
Night. Assembly also has an active
personnel committee which maintains
a file on all independent women on
campus, noting their interests and
talent. In the event that any com-
mittee needs workers, it makes use of
the files in obtaining women. Activi-
ties chairmen, handling work of the
dorm and league houses, tabulate
hours contributed by coeds in campus
activities.
Sponsors Samynona
Sumynona, an organzation of coeds
living in private homes, is also spon-
sored by Assembly. Any women Wn-
terested in the organization are asked
to come up to confer with Assembly
Board members. Assembly, headed by
Helen Alpert, maintains office hours
on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on the
third floor of the League.
.This spring, Assembly and Panhel-
lenic will present their annual Assem-
bly-Panhellenic Ball, jointly spon-

Nancy Jeftord, rushing chairman, I tengt- of t - othetofea
stated that "The rushing fee, cut in poor roommate from r ep
half this semester, pays for all invita- sition between the d aenr t -
tions, pledge cards, bids and prefer-
ence cards. The fees also provide for
a paid rushing secretary. Money from
rushing pays the expenses for rush-

Honors Outstanding Women
Panhellenic also held Panhellenic
Recognition Night last semester, when
awards presented for women out-
standing in activities, and to sorori-
ties high in scholarship. Panhellenic
which also held a bridge party last
term for all senior women, main-
tains contact with the National Pen-
hellenic Congress.
Panhellenic meetings are held
every Tuesday in the League, and so-
rority women are reminded that they
are not closed meetings. Any soror-
ity woman is invited to attend. So-
rorities send two delegates in addi-
tion to the sorority president. At
these meetings; announcements are
made to the sororities since it is their
purpose to maintain contact between
the houses.

The office, on the third floor of the
League, is open from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
