Handles Advisory Program

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the
third in a series of descriptive
articles concerning the Student
Legislative committee system.)
By NAOMI STERN
The well-received course-con-
tent advisory program initiated
during registration week this
term, was the result of long term,
diligent planning by members of
the Student Legislature Cultural
and Educational Committee.
Plans now being formulated call
for further expansion of the pro-
gram to provide on the spot help
from student experts to freshmen
and transfer students. The possi-
bility of extending the service to
other schools besides the literary
college is also being considered.
Committee members plan to
choose their "experts" from the
ranks of campus honorary socie-
ties.
Movies and Eisler
Other projects falling under the
jurisdiction of the committee
range from a campus poll on mov-
ies to the highly controversial
Eisler-debate issue.
The movie poll was taken last
Fall to help managers of local
theatres select films for revival.
Results have been turned over to
the theatre managers, who have
submitted them to Hollywood of-
ficials to back up the requests.
After unsuccessful attempts to

'ecure official approval Iof a de-
bate in which German Communist
Gerhart Eisler would participate,
the committee has revised the
plans which now provide for a de-
bate on civil liberties, with well
known authorities on the subject
participating.
Students interested in working
with the committee should contact
Miriam Levy, chairman, at 2-4471.
Advisors Sign

Students who want to give in-
coming fall freshmen the benefit

versity Hall or in the Undergrad-
uate Room of the League today

Potential experts in the Student
Legislative course-content Stu-
dent advisory program must sub-
mit petitions at the same places
by 4 p.m. Tuesday. Candidates
will be interviewed by Wyvern,
junior women's honorary society,

Friday.
To qualify as student experts,

age in their field of concentration
and must be upperclassmen.

The West Quad Glee Club, an
organization managed exclusively
by students, was launched early
this semester and has been going
strong ever since.
Organized largely through the
efforts of Gus Rogers, of Wenley
House, the club lists 40 signed
members and has already given a
number of concerts in the West
Quad and elsewhere on campus.
Easter Program
The club presented an Easter
program at Mosher last night and
is giving a similar program in
West Quad tonight. Earlier in the
montn the group was featured on
the Union Open House program.
Proposed activities include par-
ticipation in the Frat Night Sing
and a concert to be given at one of
the local high schools, according to
Ken Sivier, publicity chairman.
Proposd Concert
The high school concert is being

planned to raise funds to provide
for the perpetuation of the club.
To date the club has operated ex-
clusively on a small initial appro-
priation through the office of the
Chief Resident Adviser of West
Quad.
The club is under the director-
ship of Rogers. In addition to Siv-
ier, the official roster includes
Lynn Phelps, president, and
Charles Butler, secretary-treasur-
er.
Committeemen
With the exception of Michigan
House, each house in the quad is
represented by one committeeman.
The committeemen are: Mark
Ardis (Adams), Jim Billingsley
(Lloyd), Arthur Graham (Win-
chell), Ray Ladendort (Chicago),
Norman Mathias (Wenley ). Mor-
ris Passer (Allen-Rumsey) and
Samuel Sargeant (Williams).

LAST STRONGHOLD for the male on campus is the Michigan Union, where only on special occa-
sions may the "fairer sex" enter the "hallowed portals" pictured here.
The present Union Building was completed in 19'0 at the cost of :3.000,000, donated chiefly by
alumni members. Previous to the completion of the present building, "Union members" used to meet
in the old Mimes Theatre, which is located at the side of the Union.

line of soda-bar flies, and, if you
I keep your ears open long enough,
you are bound to hear such ques-
tions as "Who runs thisaplace
anyway?" or ".Where do all the
profits go?" or "Who built the
Union, when, and why?"
Let's take a look at the history
behind this organization, which
boasts a $3,000,000 building, 13,160
student members and 26,400 life
mnembers.
mThe story of the Union is the
story of the gradual fulfillment of
an old. old dream. Back in the

ent of Dream
But the embryo organization
had one serious problem. There
was no meeting place. The men
kept their eyes open, however, and
three years later, with funds ob-
tained from student activities and
alumni contributions, they bought
the Judge Cooley house, which
stood on the site of the present
structure.
Since then, the Union has been
in the process of constantly out-
growing its quarters. In 1912 the
Union constructed the building
that is now the Mimes Theatre,
thus acquiring a larg~e meeting
room and dance hall and expand-
ing dining facilities.
The biggesttday, though, for the
founders of the Union came in
June, 1916, when President Hutch-
ins turned the shovelful of earth
that officially started the con-
struction of the present building.
