Plans for the year's activities will be discussed, and new advisers will be introduced to the WAA board members.

Jerry Edwards and his orchestra will be featured at the first Veterans' Dance of the season to be held from 8:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. today at West Lodge in Willow Run.

Guests for the dance will include nearly one hundred coeds from dor- mitories, sororities and league houses. Transportation will be provided for those leaving from campus.

Will Be Held Every Week Students, Veterans Will Meet At Informal League Affairs; Oct. 16 To Be Opening Date The American Veteran's Committee will sponsor a series of afternoon dances from 2 to 5 p.m. every Wed- nesday in the League Ballroom, and the first of these dances will be given Oct. 16. The AVC hopes to make these dances a campus institution where men and women students may drop in after classes and dance to records. Because of League restrictions, no refreshments will be served in the Ballroom, but the League coke bar will be open. The decorations will be the same as those of the Campus Casbah. An effort will be made to have hosts and hostesses at the initial dances to introduce women students and veterans. According to Art Kaplan, AVC dance committee chairman, "The need for a place on campus where coeds and veterans may meet in an informal atmosphere has been made more apparent this term than ever before. The sharp line between men and women's midweek activities has been a handicap in this respect. We are initiating these Wednesday after- noon record hops to give both sides of campus the opportunity to get to know each other better." Sorority Transfers Sorority women who have trans- ferred this semester and have not yet contacted their chapter on cam- pus may do so by calling the chap- ter or depositing a slip with name, address and phone number on it in the Panhel box in the Undergraduate Office of the League. v By BLANCHE BERGER A tisket-a tasxet-so you've lost your yellow basket, Parker 51, or wallet!! Why be irritated? Light an Old Gold and drop into Room 1 Uni- versity Hall. There, at the Lost and Found desk, are turned in all articles found throughout campus, except those found in the Union, League, 'or Hos- pital. In returning something to the office, the student may accept a claim check for that article. If no one has called for it within a period of two months, it goes to the finder. How- ever, many students do not take out claim checks for the articles they re- turn and such things, if not claimed by the owners in the specified two month period, are sent to the Hospi- tal Social Service. There the things can be distributed to those who are in need. Everything imaginable is brought to Lost and Found including coats, hats, mittens, scarfs, books, glasses, pens, jewelry, wallets, themes, and bluebooks. During the winter it is overrun with mittens and scarfs; in Fall and Spring with raincoats. Valuable watches, bracelets and pens are also returned to the office, much to gratification of the own- ers. However petty losses are more commonly returned. Any library books found are imme- diately sent over to the Library; vet- eran requisition books without names go to the Cashier's Office. At the present time there is a box of lost blueprints, cards, registration mate- rial, letters and papers. Anyone who has lost such articles during regis- tration period is urged to claim them. If names are written upon arti- cles returned, Mrs. Siewars contacts Read and Use the Classified Directory the student as soon as possible. Therefore, the safest policy is to write your name plainly in all books (scratching out all previous ones), notebooks, papers and in wallets. The majority of the diversified things turned into the office event- ually find their way back to the own- ers, much to the satisfaction of all concernd.

The booth, which is sponsored by the Merit-Tutorial Committee, will furnish answers to questions con- cerning League and Union activities, campus clubs, sororities, fraternities, scholarships, concerts, dances, Ann Arbor activities and anything else that will be of interest to students. "It is really the thing we've needed on campus for a long time," Judy Rado, chairman of the committee, said.

These slips should be left in the Merit-Tutorial box in the Undergraduate Office. To be eli- gible to tutor, a student must have re- ceived an A in the subject or a B if it is his major.

FRESHMAN QUERIES EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the third in a series- of articles in which the Office of the Dean of Women answers ques- tions asked by freshmen women during the orientation period. Question: "What is the comparison of the expenses of a woman student who belongs to a sorority and one who remains independent? Answer: Sororities cost about 100 dollars more for the first year because of the initiation fee and pin, and about 60 dollars each subsequent year for dues. The room and board for those living in sorority houses is just a trifle higher than that of wom- en living in dormitories. Question: "If you are not a soror- ity member does it make you ineligi- ble to hold offices or does it limit your activities on campus?" Answer: Our two associations for women, Assembly and Pan Hellenic, make it possible for both independent and sorority women to hold offices. Sorority women may not hold offices in Assembly, and independent women may not hold offices in Pan-Hellenic Association. Mortarboard, a society honoring women for their participa- tion in extra-curricular activities, is usually made up of almost equal numbers of independent and sorority women. Question: "If a student chooses to remain independent the first year or two, can she possibly get into a soror- ity later on?" Answer: Yes, it is quite possible. However, since sororities do not take as many upperclassmen as freshmen, a student's chances of getting into a sorority are less if she remains inde- pendent for the first two years. Commemoration Founder's Day, Alpha Phi will hold a dessert for ac- tives and alumni at 7:30 p.m. tomor- row at the chapter house.
