Coed Activities
To Be Tallied
On New Basis
Panhel, Assembly Announce
'Point System' Will Be Used;
Merit Group To Keep Records
Panhellenic and Assembly Associ-
ations have replaced the system of
giving coeds credit hours for the
work they have done in extra-curric-
ular activities by a new point sys-
tem.
All the points are for one semester
or for the duration of a project. The
points for League activities are
League Council president, 12; Judi-
ciary president, 12; League Council
members, 10; Judiciary secretary, 9;
Judiciary members, 8; Judiciary
aides, 2-4; junior assistants, 5-7;
committee members, 0-4; dance cap-
tains, 3-5 and Dance Committee
members, 0-2.
The list continues with Soph Cab-
aret and JG Play positions, general
chairman, 10; JG Play director, 9;
central committee chairman, 7-8; as-
sistant chairman, 5-6, and commit-
tee members, 0-4.
Points for Assembly and Panhel-
lenic positions are president, 10;
officers, 7-8; house presidents and
league house presidents, 2-4; other
house officers, 1-2; committee
members, 0-4 and rushing aides,
2-4. Women working on student
publications receive points as fol-
lows: heads, 10; sub-heads, 7-8
and members, 4-6.
Points for balls and recognition
nights are chairman, 7; central com-
mittee, 5-6; committee members,
0-3; J. Hop and Senior Ball; chair-
man, 8; central committee, 6-7 and
members, 0-3.
The pints for WAA are presi-
dent, 10; officers, 5; club heads, 4;
members, 0-2 and Lantern Night
and other similar WAA activities
have points the same as for balls
and recognition nights. Coeds in
the Choral Union, orchestra or
band receive 4 points for each of
these activities.
Campus club presidents receive 5
points; officers, 3 and members 0-1.
Points for the Student Religious As-
sociation are president, 10; officers,
7 and various chairmen, 5. Honor
society officers receive 5 points and
members, 4. Women in academic
honoraries receive 2 points. Pointsr
for Student Government are presi-
dent, 12; members, 10 and other of-
ficers receive points the same as the,
League Council.
When points are from 2- the
number each coed receives is de-
cided from the personnel sheets
which presidents and committee
chairmen hand in. This is one of1
the reasons why these sheets are
very important, according to Judy
Rado, chairman of the Merit-Tu-
torial committee of the League.
The points each woman receives
go toward her individual credit. They
are also used for house competitions
and in recognizing coeds and any-
thing else that the hours formerly
went for.
Miss Rado urges that all house
presidents turn in their activity
sheets as soon as possible. These
sheets have all the activities each
coed has participated in since she
entered the University.

Of Soap Supply
The American public can look for
no immediate improvement in the
soap supply situation.
Until the present fat shortage is
relieved, soap will remain a hard-
to-get commodity.
Causes of the fat shortages are
many. Chiefly at fault is the scar-
city of meat. The principle source
of fat for making soap is tallow,
which is obtained as a by-product
of the meat industry. Since only a
small fraction of the normal num-
ber of meat animals were sent to
market in recent weeks, the supply
of fat available to soap producers
has been correspondingly low.
Moreover, large quantities of tal-
low and other fats normally reserved
for the soap industry have been lost
to the black market. Another reason
for the shortage of fats is that im-
port of foreign fats is still far below
the pre-war level.
Almost 11 million men and wom-
en in the armed forces have re-
turned to civilian life. These peo-
ple were formerly supplied with
soap outside the civilian quota,
yet since their return there has
been na corresponding government
increase in the amount of fat al-
lowed to the.soap industry for
civilian production. Consequently,
the per capita allowance of soap
for this country has decreased.
Housewives and all others are
urged to help in relieving this critical
situation. The salvage of used fats
during war time raised the soap sup-
ply more than 10 per cent. Such a

WELCOME ALUMNI:
Annual Homecoming Dance
Will Be Held in IM Building
PACE F'IVE
"Welcome back, alumni," will be
the theme of the Homecoming Dance;
first big all-campus dance of the
year, to be presented from 8:30 p.m.
to midnight Saturday at the Intra-
mural Building.
Ticket sales for the Dance were
closed yesterday, since the commit-
tee reported a sellout. However, stu-
dents may still purchase tickets for
the Varsity Night show, to be pre-
sented Friday, at the ticket booth in
University Hall.
The dance will climax the Home-
coming Weekend activities which
center around the Illinois-Michigan
football game. An informal affair,
the Homecoming dance is open to all
students on campus. Decorations and
programs will follow a football theme.
The Student Legislature Varsity
Committee is sponsoring the entire
weekend. Bill McConnell is general
chairman of the dance. ,
Elliot Lawrence and his 20-piece
orchestra will play for the annual
dance. Lawrence and Jerry Mulligan
do the original arrangements, and
the band plays many of Lawrence's
own compositions. Rosalyn Patton
and Jack Hunter are the vocalists,
and Alex Fila is featured on the
trumpet.
The band has played for numerous
college proms and was recently voted
the third most promising band of the
year by the annual College Music
Poll. His arrangements blend popu-
lar styling with symphonic tone.
Willow Run Dorm
Chooses Officers
The Willow Run Dormitory for
women veterans and graduate stu-
dents recently elected officers at a
house meeting, and Dr. Ruth Dun-
ham, a graduate student, was chosen
president.
Sally W. Gill and Mary Lou Wald-
ner were elected social chairmen,
and Ann Jewett and Phyllis Lloyd,
athletic directors. The west corri-
dor of the dormitory held open house
for the rest of the building to show
how the rooms have been decorated.
Vets To Give
Blackcat Ball
Surrounded by an atmosphere of
spooks and goblins,' students, will
dance to the music of Frank Tinker
at the Blackcat Ball to be given from
9 p.m. to midnight, Friday, November
1, in the Union Ball room.
Skirts and sweaters will be in or-
der at this informal dance sponsored
by the Veterans Organization on
campus. Tickets are priced at $1.50
with a 50% discount for all members

A program of entertainment has
been planned for intermission in-
cluding group singing, Hallowe'en

Removal of Fabric Restrictions
To Cause Little Change in Style

(Continued from Page 1)
American women would not want to
wear Paris fashions. American de-
signers may be influenced somewhat
by general style trends in Paris, but
they will not rely heavily upon them.
Instead they will use the new free-
dom to express their own individual-
ity.
Designers will now be free to exer-
cise their creative ability without re-
gard to the amount of material used.'
This will result in a wider selections
of styles for the American women and
much less uniformity. Authorities
believe that the first change will be
toward longer skirts, but that trend
is already evident in fall clothing.
Fuller Skirts
Skirts will probably be fuller, and
plentiful pleats will soon be featured.
Fuller sleeves, more drapery, ruffles,
capelets, and longer jackets are prob-
able style trends. These changes will
come about gradually, since the
American public is fairly conserva-
tive and will have to be educated to
the changes.
Fuller evening skirts and full-
lenth evening wraps will now be pos-
sible, and manufacturers will again
be able to sell three-piece ensembles.
Ann Arbor stores are in agree-
ment in hoping that the style changes
will not necessitate an increase in
price. Most college students are con-
servative buyers who budget their
wardrobes, and a price increase
would probably discourage buying.
Price Rise Feared
One woman student, when asked
about the results of the new styling
freedom, said "While a change is al-
ways welcome, it will be unfortunate
if prices are increased to any extent.
The average college coed cannot af-
ford to replace her wardrobe if radi-
cal style changes result."
Another student said that she
hoped that the changes "Will not
make present wardrobes obsolete, but
the wider variety of styles made pos-
sible will be welcomed by most wom-
en. Many of the present styles are
skimpy because of material restric-
tions, and the revocation of L-85 will
probably remedy this."
The American Veterans Commit-
tee will present the second in a ser-
ies of aftern- n dances from 2 to 5
p.m. tomorrow in the League Ball-
room.
The dances are open to all Uni-
versity students and no dates are
necessary.
To Be Honored

Faculty Women's Club will open the
year with a series of informal teas

Thursday, October 24, and Friday,
October 25.
