These new Michigan coeds come to us from all parts of the globe-from our own hemisphere-Iceland, Can- ada, and South America-to the Far East-India, China, and the Philip- pines. Most of them formerly at- tended universities in their respective countries and are graduate students here in varied subjects such as chem- istry, public health, economics, edu- cation, and English literature. They will return to their native countries to work after completing their edu- cation here. A few of them have rooms in the dormitories here, some live in Willow Run Village, and some in private homes, but all add a note of color and cosmopolitanism to the campus. A few more students from India ar- rived within the past couple of days, but very shortly we will find them rushing to classes as matter-of-fact- ly as our own seniors.

Leagudet L odo Faen Ailties Studen.ts With Wol rrteri's Act iq/'ities 875 Women Are Oriented This Semester About 650 freshmen women and 225 transfer coeds, including many vet- erans, comprised the orientation group this year, according to Joan Schlee, chairman of freshman orien- tation and Lois Iverson, chairman of transfer groups. Sixty-one advisors, all upperclass- men, were needed to conduct the freshmen women through last week's activities. The program, designed to acquaint the new students with the intricacies of Michigan life, included a rally at Hill Auditorium to meet the various deans; an assembly in Lydia. Mendelssohn where skits from Soph Dean of Women, Alice C. Lloyd will address the second and last orientation meeting of freshmen women to be held at 4:30 p.m. to- day in Rackham Auditorium. At the meeting, which is part of the freshman orientation program, student social customs and regu- lations will be discussed. Dean Lloyd and Mrs. Mary C. Bromage, Assistant Dean of Women, will also answer questions about the social and academic life at the University which have been asked by the freshmen women. Cabaret, JGPlay, plus addresses from Dean Lloyd, Ellen Hill, Jean Louise Hole and numerous other campus leaders were presented. On Saturday, to culminate the week's intensive program, the Union sponsored a mixer from 2-5 p.m. for all freshmen men and women. For the transfer women and their 19 advisors the program was very similar, except that the organization was entirely independent from the freshmen. This is the first time an attempt such as this has been carried out, and, according to Miss Iverson, was very successful. The transfers were also introduced at various meetings to those 'U' fac- ulty members and students who would prove most helpful. Together with the transfer men, the women at- tended a special meeting at which Provost Adams spoke, the cheerlead- ers performed, and student policies were discussed by the leaders of the Union, League and Judiciary Coun- cil. A voluntary acquaintance bureau was temporarily established for transfer women and veterans. Blanks were distributed upon which indi- vidual preferences were made, and these were matched. The boys were given the coed's name and telephone number, and from then on it was out of the hands of the advisors. 'Michigan Diag' To Go on Sale "Michigan Diag," the short-cut beaten path to campus custom and conduct etiquette book, put out by the League Social Committee, will be placed on sale the middle of next week at the campus diagonal. The pamphlet was distributed to new coeds during orientation week, and will now be available to all wom- en. This is the first of its kind to be edited by and for coeds, and thus far it has been received with a great deal of enthustasm. The editor is Betty Needham '46, assisted by Dorothy Wantz, '46 and Estelle Klein. Cleverly illustrated by Joan Read, the booklet contains hints of do's and dont's of campus social life. Among them are class etiquette, garb, dating, traditions, activities, and rallies. Stressing social finesse, the editor writes, "Custom is the result of pat- terns of living and tradition passed down from one class to another. Herewith are collected some of the rules and regulations, as well as the, customs and traditions, that make you, the University women, a part of Michigan, and Michigan a part of you." Ball Petitions Due Saturday in League Petitions for posts on the central committee for Panhellenic Ball are due Saturday, according to Margaret Gage, president of Panhellenic Asso- ciation. Interviews for petitioners will be held from 2-5 p.m., Monday, Septem- ber 30, and Wednesday, Oct.. 2; and from 2-4 p.m., Thursday, October 3. GIRLS ... You've noticed my little Knit Shop empty and forlorn, but I am in nicer, lighter quarters over Aiexan- , der's Drug Store, 725 North Univer- sity, still selling Botany yarn, and making cardigans out of slipovers, and mending sweaters. Van Akkeren Knit Shop By JOAN WILK "The League Lowdown," published by the Women's League Council, is an informative booklet about wom- en's activities which was distributed to freshman women during the past Week. Additional copies are still available in the Social Director's Office of the League and any coed who is inter- ested in joining an activity is urged to obtain one of the pamphlets. The "League LowcT own" is pub- lished and distributed yearly by the Council to familiarize Michigan coeds with all campus organiza-_ tions open to them and to acquaint them with the various functions of the groups. The 1946-47 edition contains an introductory section concerned with the facilities of the Michigan League Building which is the center of wom- en's activities on campus. Several pictures of the library, ballroom and Council members are included. Of special interest is the section of the Women's Judiciary Council which contains a descriptive section regarding the function of the offi- cers and committee members, the du- ties of the electoral board, and cam- pus regulations and house rules. The hospital service, a newly formed committee is explained in an- other section of the booklet. Among this group's functions are the Percy Jones Hospital Service, the University Hospital Service, and the Hospital Volunteer Service. . Women and men may serve as entertainers at Percy Jones Hos- pital and University Hospital. Au- ditions will be held in the League Building and notice of the dates when these are scheduled will be published at a later date. Women may also volunteer as host- esses who entertain the patients. They must be interested in games such as gin rummy, checkers and bridge. Hostesses will be interviewed at the League during the first few wreeks of the semester. Notice of in- terview times will be announced later. Volunteer hospital workers are also needed at both University and St. Joseph's Hospitals. These coeds work in wards, in clinics and in labs. At- tendance at two orientation meetings are required of each volunteer and women work four hours per week at either hospital. Coeds will be givenj an opportunity to register at an early date. Also included in the booklet is the Social committee which will hold a mass meeting within the next few weeks for women who are interest- ed in working on the committee. The committee sponsors the well- known Ruthven Teas which have become a tradition on campus. So- cial committee workers serve as hostesses at the teas which are in- formal affairs open to all students on campus. . Houses will also take turns giving open houses and' teas for foreign stu- dents at Michigan and men at Willow Run have invited women to dances during the first few weeks of the se- mester.
