FRESHMAN
QUERIES
;i
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second
in a series of articles in which the Of-
fice of the Dean of Women answers
questions asked by freshmen women
during the orientation period.
Question: "What arrangements are
going to be made for students living
in dormitories who have classes from
noon to 1 p.m.?" Answer: The dormi-
tories will serve lunch at 11:15 a.m.
to those women who have noon
classes. Any women with noon classes
who also have 11 o'clocks should
come to the Office of the Dean of
Women so that special arrangements
may be made.
Question: ."Do scholarships pay
room and board as well as tuition?
Ahe there any requiremnts for schol-
arships other than scholastic achieve-
ment, and are any offered to out-of-
state students?" Answer: Each col-
lege in the University has its own
scholarships, many of which are not
limited to students living in Michi-
gan. For these cash scholarships a
student should apply to the dean of
her school. These scholarships are
awarded on the basis of scholarsh-ip
and need.
Women who have earned a B aver-
age or better and who need financial
help may come to th Office of the
Dean of Women for further informa-
tion concerning scholarship aid. The
Office refers eligible candidates to
the Student Aid Foundation in De-
troit. There are also certain dormi-
tory room "and board scholarships
available each year for which appli-
cation may be made in the Office of
the Dean of Women.
Question: "For what activities are
first semester freshmen eligible?''
Answer: Freshmen women are not
eligible for any extra-curricular ac-
tivities except the Freshman Girls'
Glee Club. A student must complete
one semester of work (15 hours) with
no grade below C and with one grade
of B or better before she is eligible
for activities.
MICHIGAN COEDS-have always danced in traditional productions

Sophomore Women Have Given
Traditional Cabaret Since 1927
IVI I
By JEAN WHITNEY
Soph Cabaret, a traditional event
on campus, is written, acted, directed
and produced by sophomore women,
and financed by their class dues. °
The first Cabaret, "Bungling Bros.
Circus,"'-complet with pink lemonade
and a sawdust arena, was presented
in 1927. "The Great Sophomore Sis-
ters Incorporated, Amalgamated, and
Consolidated Circus," had clowns, a1
menagerie, musicians, a side show1
and trapeze acts which featured
"sensational and original feats and
acts of reckless daring." It was pre-
sented in connection with the An-
nual League and Church Bazaar in
Sarah Caswell Angll Hall.
The Cabaret was such a tremen-
dous sucess that a repeat perform-
ance was staged in 1928, which
"outmatched the nearest rivals
with the versitality of the acts and
the magnificent glamor of the per-
former's costumes."
The Cabaret became a yearly proj-
ect for sophomore women from this
time on. In 1934 the "Pseudo Psilly
Psymphony" was presented with
Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Betty
Boop and other cartoon characters
as main attractions. Grand Central
Station was the theme in 1935 with
"All Aboard" the title, and a
streamlined train as the main fea-c
ture.
In former years, Soph Cabaretc
took over both floors of the League3
for an entire gala weekend. Floor-t
shows, plays, dancing, games and1
coke bars were featured Friday
night, Saturday afternoon and the
climax was reached Saturday
night. A different theme each year
was carried out to the fullest ex-
tent with elaborate decorations and
costumes.
The Cabaret was revived with
"Soph Music Bar" in 1944, after be-
ing suspended during the war years.
An orchestra was featured in the
ballroom for dancing, and a stage
show, "Swing's the Thing," and movie
were given in Lydia Mendelssohn
Theatre.
