MEMBERS of the Merit-Tutorial
Committee in the League aid
deficient students in finding tutors
and keep the activities files up to
date for the use of students and
campus organizations.-
The Merit section of the com-
mittee keeps a complete file of,
all undergraduate women and the
extra-curricular activities in which,
they have participated. The cards
bear each coed's picture, address,
phone number and class.
With these cards are person-l
nel reports made out by various
chairmen of committees and
heads of other activities. These
personnel reports are used to
compile each woman's activityr
point record.

Panhellenic .

(Continued from Page 1)

Panhellenic has chapters on ev-
'ry campus having sororities and
in addition maintains chapters in
many cities and towns throughout
the country. National Panhellenic
meets biennially to make necess-
ary changes in rules and proced-
ure3.
At Michigan, Panhellenic spon-
sors many activities and projects.
Among these are contributions to
the University Fresh Air Camp,
campus projects such as the Red
Cross, Famine Drive, and United
Nations Relief.
Panhellenic works with As-
sembly, the independent wo-
men's association for the furth-
erance of coed interests on cam-
pus. Together they sponsor
student-faculty teas, and will
plan the Frosh Weekend to be
held in the spring.
Panhel Ball, to be given on Nov.
13, will be open to the campus.
Other functions sponsored by the
organization include exchange
dinners between sororities and be-
tween sororities and fraternities.
An inter-sorority bridge tourna-
ment will also be held this year.
A campus entertainment night,
under the auspices of Panhellenic
will also be given sometime during
the winter.
Individual sororities support
their own projects and favorite
charities, such as "Care." Each
year in January, Panhellenic Rec-
ognition Night honors scholastic
and activity achievement among
the sororities.
Sorority transfers from other
schools are asked by Panhellenic
to. sign up in their office in the
League. Individual sororities give
teas or open houses welcoming
their transfer members in the fall.
Additional information on
Panhellenic is available in
"League Lowdown," a booklet
put out by the Undergraduate
Council of the League and ob-
tainable in the Undergraduate
Offices of the League.
Rushing for sororities at Michi-
gan is "deferred," which means
that rushing does not occur until
the spring semester. The reason
for deferring rushing is to give co-
eds a chance to get acquainted
with the sororities and decide
whether or not they wish to rush.
A C average is required for the
first semester's work to be eligible
for rushing. Rushing covers a two
week period at the beginning of
the spring semester. During this
time interested coeds -get a chance
to meet sorority women at planned
teas and parties.
If a sorority has room for
more girls it may hold informal
fall rushing. However the main
rushing season begins in the
spring term with a series of op-
en houses.
The rest of the functions during
rushing are attended by written
invitation ending with to prefer-
ential desserts.

The reports are also used for the
benefit of the Office of the Dean
of Women, the Social Director of
the League, Judiciary Council,
League Committees and honor so-
cieties, who, by referring to the
file, may find just the coed they
need to work on some activity. The
files are also used as references by
employers of Michigan graduates.
NOT ONLY the activities in
which a coed has taken part,
but alsoj areport on how well she
did the job is kept in the records.
These files are very important and
it is to each coed's advantage that
her card be kept up to date, ac-
cording to Virginia Nicklas, chair-
man of Merit-Tutorial Committee.
All students desiring tutors
.should contact the tutoring serv-
ice at the League and receive the
name and telephone number of
a tutor. Tutors and students
make their own arrangements
concerning the time and place of
tutoring. Tutors'receive 75 cents
an hour and tutoring ends two
weeks before final examinations
begin.
Tobe eligible to tutor, a stu-
dent must have received an A in
the course or a B if it is his major.
Tutors are available at the begin-
ning of each semester for all stu-
dents except freshmen, who may
have tutors after their five-weeks
grades are received.
The bulletin board in the Un-
dergraduate Office of the League
is kept up to date by the commit-
tee. Information on all League
activities may be found there also.
Insaddition to their regular
duties, members of the Merit-
Tutorial Committee have under-
taken the job of setting up an
information booth in the Merit-
Tutorial Room in the Under-
graduate Office of the League.
The booth is equipped with in-
formation on practically every-
thing on campus and in Ann
Arbor that would be of interest
to students.
Merit-Tutorial Office is open
every afternoon during the week
except Saturday. The committee
is an integral part of League ac-
tivities and is an opportunity for
coeds to start out in League activ-
ities and get the "know-how" on
the workings of the organization.
Miss Nicklas will be aided by
four assistants. They are Carol
Tuer, Jackie Zipp, Miriam Cady
and Joyce Gould.

Night Spot
Holds New Talent
Show Every Week
THE CAMPUS CASBAH, student
soft-drink night spot origin-
ated last year, will again open its
glamorous doors for weekly Fri-

weekly floorshows and refresh-
ments. Intimate tables lines the
dance floor providing that touch
of the night club atmosphere.
The orchestra which will be fur-
nished for most of the dances will

the permanent decorations of
the Casbah. Curtains surround
the bandstand with a deep vel-
vet drop over the top with cur-
tains of the same material at
the sides of the bandstand.
STUDENT entertainers provide
new talent for the floorshow
each week. Anyone interested in
participating in the programs can
attend the tryouts held weekly.
Announcements of the time and
place of the auditions will be
printed in The Daily.
The Casbah, a non-profit func-
tion, is a project of the League
Council. Funds are used for im-
provement of the facilities.
In addition to the entertain-
ment provided by the dance,
other facilities of the building
will be opened for student use
on Friday and Saturday nights.

Informal Fall
Rushing Period
Deferred rushing will be the
procedure this year once again,
according to Christine Blair, rush-
ing chairman of the Panhellenic
Association.
According to this program, for-
mal sorority rushing will not start
until the beginning of the spring
semester.
Informal Rushing
Informal rushing in the fall will
be held for those houses who wish
to participate, but first semester
freshmen are not eligible for this
rushing period. It will begin as
soon as organization is possible.
Immediately afterformal rush-
ing in the spring, informal rush-
ing will again be held. All coeds
registered for formal rushing will
not have to re-register for in-
formal rushing.
The Panhellenic Association is
stressing the honor system in pre-
ference to the contact rules sys-
tem.
Conditions
There are three conditions un-
der the contact system, the first
of which is that independent wo-
men are not to enter sorority
houses. Secondly, sorority women
are riot to enter dormitories and
thirdly the two should not strive to
form new friendships. This system
is effective as soon as school starts.
Sororities will strive to create
as informal an atmosphere as
possible during the rushing per-
iod, nevertheless.

the ages of eight and 14 during
two four week periods.
The camp serves a three-f
purpose; to remedy the maladju
ments of small boys who have d
ficulty in adjusting to home e
vironment by offering a vacati
land among other youngsters;
supply reference agencies with i
formation and guidance in t
child's behavior; and to provi
students of education and so
ology with opportunities for pra
tical work combined with theore
ical classroom work.
Plans for student use of t
camp have become a reality in t
past year. Student organizatio
have held picnics, parties a
dances at the camp last sprin
Present plans for student use for
see the camp as a year-arou
student recreation spot.
Tee Skating
The camp borders on two lak
which may be used for swimmi
and fishing in the summer, i
skating and ice boating in tt
winter.
The hilly land is suitable f
skiing, tobogganing in the winte
and for picnics in the spring an
fall. The camp's lodge contai
a large recreation room, with fir
places and a stage which coul
be used for dances by groups
students.
Tentative plans for the cam
include a regular week end cal
endar of University-sponsore
events and a winter sports car
nival resembling the Dartmout
af fair.
Beach House
Contributions and proceeds fro
benefits have resulted in a sub
stantial contribution toward- th
building of a much-needed beac
house for the camp. The projecte
beach house will provide shower
and dressing roois for the under
privileged boys who attend th
camp during the summer. In addi
tion, the first floor of the build
ing will house boat and othe
equipment. When completed, th
boat house could be used in th
winter by skaters.
The Fresh Air Camp Tag Da
will be held again this year. Pro
ceeds from this drive will be util-
ized solely for the benefit of th
boys. Funds to help winterize the
camp for student use are derived
from other drives and private con
tributions.

ond floor, were established for thei
use of students, faculty, and the
general public. Hotel accommo-
dations are especially for the usej
of alumnae. all of whom are life
members of the League. Reserva-
tions may be made for friends of
students as well as for visiting
artists in the concert and lecture
series.
Rooms for project and com-
mittee meetings are provided by
the League at no cost to stu-
dents. Lounge rooms, separate
study rooms, music rooms, and
the third floor League library
are open to coeds at all times.
Traditionally a women's build-
ing, men must be accompanied
by women on the second and
third floors.
IN ADDITION to providing fa-
cilities for general use of Uni-
versity women, the building also
houses the League and Judiciary

Councils in the Undergraduate
Offices on the main floor. Assem-
bly and Panhellenic Associations
are headquartered on. the third
floor.hThe Alumnuae Council and
Social Director's offices are also
on the main floor.
The building was erected in
1929, following an extensive
fund raising campaign conduct-
ed by University women and al-
umnae so that they might have
a center for alumnae and stu-
dent organizations. The cam-
paign began early in 1921 when
undergraduates and the Alum-
nae Council decided to under-
take the responsibility for spon-
soring a building.
The Board of Regents voted to
grant the land later that year, and
the sum of one million dollars was
set as the goal of the campaign.
Every University coed is auto-
matically a member of the League,
and is urged to use all facilities.
