C oed Housing
By BARBARA McNEILL
At the time of Madelon Louisa
Stockwell, '72, who was the first
woman to attend the University,
housing facilities for women were
practically non-existent.
Although these women were an'
older responsible group and very seri-
ous about their study, they had great
difficulty in finding places to live.
People felt that they were "queer"
members of the student body, and re-
fused to allow them in their rooming
houses. Consequently, the women
were often forced to live in places
where men were also in residence.
However, shortly after she be-
came Dean of Women in 1902, Mrs.
Myra B. Jordan put through a reg-
ulation preventing women from
living in mixed rooming houses.
The sororities gave their support to
this project by agreeing that
they would not consider pledging
women living in unapproved houses.
The second step in the improve-
ment-of facilities for women was tak-
en by the League in 1910, when they
selected nine homes to. be used by
university women, and subsequently
designated a series of others, the
group being known as 'league houses."
At this time, each coed was met at
the time of her arrival in Ann Arbor
and safely settled in her place of
residence by a committee from the
League.
In 1910 and 1911, President An-c
gell and Mrs. Jordan campaigned "
vigorously for donations of dormi-
tories. As a result, the gifts of
room. The fireplace will be lighted
in an effort to establish the season's
spirit.
Co-chairmen for the dance are
George Shaffer and Milan Miskovsky.
Additional chairmen include Jerry
Comer, publicity; Brad Straatma and
Dick Cortright, decorations, Allan
Farnsworth, tickets.
Entertainment, Refreshments Heads
Eugene Sikorovsky and Arthur
DerDerian will be in charge of enter-
tainment and refreshments and An-
drew Poledor and Louis Lapierre,
programs and invitations.
Corsages will be presented to the
women as favors. Entertainment is
planned during the intermission, in
which campus talent will be featured.
In addition, refreshmnents will be
served.
Tickets are to be limited to 450
couples each night, and will be avail-
able to the entire student body.
Patti DuPont Will Be Featured
Frank Tinker and his orchestra,
with vocalist Patti DuPont, will fur-
nish the mus:.c for the dance. Tinker,
featured at xvxeekly Union dances, is
this season's new band leader. He re-
placed last year's band leader, Bill
Layton.
An ex-Navy man, Tinker returned
to campus last spring. The members
of the 14-piece orchestra, service vet-
erans, are for the most part graduate
students completing work begun here
before the war.
Reestablishing a post-war custom,
the Union Executive Council will don
red ribbons on their lapels during the
formal affair. The tradition will be
carried out in all future formal
events.
Helen Newberry Residence and
Martha Cook Building were, an-
nounced in 1913, followed by Betsy
Barbour House and Adelia Cheever
House in 1920. During this period,
control of closing hours in wom-
en's residences was put into effect
and has remained, with modifi-
cations, until the present time.
The first gift of the organized
alumnae was Alumnae House, donat-
ed in 1917 and now known as Mary
Markley House. In addition, the
Alumnae Association has sponsored
Henderson House, which is soon to
be rebuilt to h'ouse 24 women instead
of the present 16.
With ,the completion of the new
dormitory for women near Mosher-
Jordan Halls, apd with increased fa-
cilities in league houses, housing for
coeds at the ,University will continue
to progress, according to Dean of
Women Alice C. Lloyd.
Union To Hold
Record Mixer
Affair Will Be Patterned
After 'Make-believe Ballroom'
The Union Executive Council will
sponsor a cecord mixer patterned
after the daily Detroit radio pro-
gram, "Make--believe Ballroom" from
2 to 5 p.m. today in the Union Ball-
rcom.
The mixer will be the first in the
series of weekly Saturday Matinee
Dances. The affair is open to the en-
tire student body, who may attend
with or without dates. Hostesses will
be present to i'rtroduce the guests and
further the spirit of informality.
Students will be able to listen to
the game over the air, or dance to
records until the teams are in scor-
ing position, as is the custom for
away from home football games.
Emcee Jerry Comer will share the
spotlight with announcers George
Shaffer and Allan Farnsworth. Shaf-
fer is announcing football scores and
outstanding plays, and Farnsworth
will handle farcial commercials. Rec-
ords are under the charge of Pete
Pfohl.
Ed Chase, originator of the
"Make believe Ballroom," granted
permission to the Union to use the
theme of his program and records
of his program have also been ap-
proved.
Future matinee dances will also
feature Comer as-master of ceremon-
ies. The affa.r is being sponsored in
an effort to provide an informal
meeting place for student use. The
pattern of succeeding dances will
follow the Make-believe Ballroom"
theme.
Skits publicizing Soph Cabaret,
which is to be held from 8:30 p.m. to
midnight Saturday, Dec. 7, in the
League Ballr.,om, will be given during
the dinner hour Monday in various
women's dormitories.
The houses ;n which these skits are
to be given are, Betsy Barbour, Couz-
ens Hall, Helen Newberry, Martha
Cook, Mosher and Stockwell. There
will be five coeds in each skit and
they will be take-offs of the nursery
rhymes on which the Cabaret central
theme is based. The skits will be fol-/
lowed by ticket sales in the dormi-
tories.
Paul LaVoie and his orchestra, with
vocalists Jean Regal and Jackie Fish-
er, will be featured at "Soph Tale-
Spin," this year's edition of Cabaret,
for dancing from 9 p.m. to midnight
in the League Ballroom. In addition,
there will be an informal mixer dance
in the Hussey Room and the Kala-
mazoo Room is to be open for bridge
and games. The program also in-
cludes two floorshows to be given in
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Refresh-
ments will be available in the Grand
Rapids Room.
The Cabaret is not strictly a date
affair, as students may attend sing-
ly or in couples. Everything but the
refreshments are included in the ad-
mission price.
The Cabaret, produced annually,
except during the duration of the
war, was revived in 1944 with "Soph
Music Bar." Last year's production,
entitled "Mistletoe Mingle," carried
out a Christmas theme with decora-
tions and costumes.
In former years the Cabaret took
over both floors of the League for an
entire week-end, but recently it has
been presented for one night and has
utilized only the second floor of the
League
