ilURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1948 THIE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE FIVE Local Recreational Facilities Provide Fun, Entertainment ' r, Indoor recreation poses the problem after the beer kegs and insect, lotion are stored away for the winter. For those who are satisfied with the less sophisticated atmosphere of the Michigan campus, the Uni- versity offers a great deal in the line of recreation-nothing like Leon and Eddies, but fun none- theless. Indoor Sports Except for the skiing in the Ar- boretum, most of the winter's rec- reaticn will be confined to the in- dooratmosphere. The University operates its own ice-skating rink, the Coliseum, with special student rates which bring skating up to the level of a poor man's sport. University hockey and basket- ball teams keep the sports fans busy during the majority of the winter months. Unfortunately, the traditional football schedule runs into the others almost every Saturday night. It has been said that sports fans go broke from wearing out coins by flipping them to see which games they ought to attend. The campus male has the aquatic advantage over the coed with, luxurious swimming pool at the Union. Coeds have embarked upon a campaign to raise funds to build a swimming pool for women but until that bright day comes when coeds cease to envy the men's pool, the Barbour Gymna- sium bathtub will have to do. Tradition has it that a railing had been set up around a chip in the cement; when a heavy rain filled the space, the result was the coed pool. Michigan women find themselves endowed with a most phenomenal ability - one magic stroke in any direction and they can zoom across the crevice to the other side. It doesn't make for po- tential Esther Williams' graduat- ing from the University. Formals Dancing will return to the fore among campus social events, when the Union and the League.start off their Friday and Saturday night dances. Frank Tinker will be featured at the Union and the League's Campus Casbah will again present its night-clublike entertainment. Traditional formal dances will again make their appearance and crowd anyone's social - calendar. The Union will present two for- mals along with its annual Open House. Slide Rule, the engineer's Ball, J-Hop, the junior's debut, Senior Ball, Odonto Ball, the dentist's get--together, Caduceus Ball, med students semi-professional fun, Crease Ball, the lawyer's sum- mons to his ladies' fair and many others will be up and coming. In addition to all these, sorority and fraternity house will haul out their welcome mats for their pledge formals and private dances. Fraternities will substitute record dances for their beer picnics. The highlight of the season -will be J-Hop, Outdoor Sports For those students who are still inclined to brave the elements, Palmer Field has concrete tennis courts which can be used in any dry weather. A slight fee is charged for the use of the courts. The city has golf links and a rid- ing stable; bicycles can be rented at several local bike stores. If there is enough snow, there will be outdoor skating at nearby Barton Pond and Burns Park skis and toboggans will no doubt be making their outdoor appear- ance at the Arboretum. Collectively, recreational facili- ties are unusually good for a town the size of Ann Arbor and the University sports enthusiasts may find a good deal to occupy them- selves. Too much, they may real- ize, come up around mid-semester exams. STHEY!

The woman's outfit was considered to be most representative of the college coed on the University of Michigan campus. Chances are that this same woman's skirt is an elegant 10 inches longer, the waistline has been nipped in and the shoulder and hip line more pronounced but softer. Envious upperclasswomen have always been able to tag the in- coming freshman-their clothes are always so bright and new. But it takes a great deal of careful planning on the part of the, entering coed to chcose her basic wardrobe for the next four years with an astute combination of practicality and imagination. Fundamental to all coed's wardrobes is the sweater and skirt combination. College coeds reject the baggy sweater of their high school days. preferring that trim smart look to the ostentatiously casual one. For the more formal occasions, it is best to choose dresses with an eye to your own personality not particularly the latest rage in styles. Ann Arbor women are not extremists-their clothes are tasteful but simple. The practical coed has to keep in mind that some of her clothes will have to last for a longer time than it takes for designers to con- jure up the pronounced pads and doodads that make the fashion magazines cange month in and month out. Traditional formal dances stud the social calendar in Ann Arbor and these formals usually call for a minimum of two even- ing gowns. The best plan is to have an all-out formal and one which can be chan-ed easily to meet the occasion. We would sug- gest an evening skirt for those that have to keep to a minimum be- cause these skirts .can be so adaited as to present a different appearance each time. Ann Arbor is cold in the winter-these "cute" lightweight toppers should be confined to the advertisements. A warm winter coat is essen- tial and the ones they have been designing in the last year fit the bill and have th additional factor of good looks. If it is raining anywhere in the world yo: can bet that it is raining in Ann Arbor so the rain- coat, hat and waterproof boots are standbys. Some of the matching combinatio,)s being sold are goodlooKing and practical, but most women find that the novelty is trying wnen they have to wear the out- fit so often. Blue jeans may have been a "must" in the bobby sox set, but at the University they are strictly functional. Jeans are essentials for the Arb and Island picnics and the Saturday afternoon bicycle date. Otherwise, coeds shun their use in classes and libraries. First impressions at the University are important and good taste in clothes can make yours a successful one. But the coed does not dress up to her outfit, rather the coed's activities dictate the choice of her clothes. Women Qet Inside Dope On 1Ev'ents Michigamua, JGP, cuts and bolts, Union Opera, IFC, Michi- gras, BMOC-these are phrases which roll off the tongues of the University students about to begin another year and which instantly force the newcomer to keep mouth closed, eyes and ears open and face set in a confident pose of comprehension. "What can I do-and quick-" asks Miss Newcomer, "to be able to open my mouth without sticking my saddle shoe in it?" There are several answers we can give in the short-answer method. Daily Subscription - First, subscribe to and READ The Daily, where complete, stu- dent-written and published ac- counts of every campus event will be found. Second, take every advantage of Orientation Week, which is care- fully planned and carried out by students themselves not because they want to start school a week early, but because they remember how it felt as freshmen to be given a week to gain a foothold and gape to heart's content before the onrush of complacent returning thousands. Third,plug in the roommate's radio every Saturday morning and tune in to the local station WPAG. "Campus Quarter," produced by the combined efforts of the Union and the League (men's and wo- ien's organizations), presents each week a story, play or discussion of some phase of campus tradition. Traditions Subjects of last year's programs included such topic as "Black Friday," the traditionalsfreshman doomsday no longer practiced, football rallies and snakedances, famous University faculty mem- bers and graduates, the various honorary societies and the history ' f Michigan's famed Union Operas, which were nationally reviewed and hailed, and which are being revived after a long lapse. "Campus Quarter" first made its debut in the fall of 1946 when it was entitled "Michigan Maize." It is now written, directed, acted and produced by students. Opportunities are offered to stu- dents eligible for extra-curricular activities in the fields of research for material and details of tradi- tion and publicity for the show as well as acting and writing. Nancy Culligan, publicity chair- man of the League, is co-chair- man of the program and leads all women interested in working on the program. Daily . . (Continued from Page 1) tegral part in all women's campus activities in reporting news of campus events. The Woman's page is not a society page but a news page containing articles of inter- est to all coeds. All second semester freshmen and undergraduate women are eligible to sign up for the Women's Staff tryout program providing their grades merit an eligibility card. Previous newspaper experi- ence is not necessary, but women who have had experience on high school or other college papers are especially urged to come out for The Daily. By MARY ANN HARRIS Ah-ah-ah-ah-Don't touch that dial! Don't turn on your roommates' radio to your favorite quiz show, even though you know that an 8 p.m. study break would be good for her. No, don't drag her by the hair to the sandwich shoppe. So,, she doesnjt want to go. You may be interrupting her well planned schedule, even though you have yours under control. Someone has said, "it's the little things that count" and it is "the little things" that become the big things in dorm living. Advice on how to have and hold a good roommate contain more do's and don'ts than the familiar parental parting words to college going off- spring. But illustration and ex- planation of some of those im- portant "details" of group living may give the newcomer to the "house" a better picture of living with that peculiar creature called the roommate. Borrowing Roommate trouble often stems from a host of minor irritations grouped under the inoffensive little title of borrowing. Even though you know she won't miss it, resist that temptation to take that kleenex, lipstick, eyebrow tweezer, tennis ball, bobby pin, toothpaste, water glass, iodine, bubble bath, boot creme, shower cap, sunglasses and almost any- thing of "no value." The first violation in this line always comes in a desperate "pinch" but later, borrowing comes more easily and soon roommate is supplying all those innocent little needs. When roommate revolts, don't be surprised because those little things amount to money and amount to trouble. Keep the well known "be prepared" motto in your mind and stay out of room- mate trouble. Neatness Another source of stress and strain with living companions is neatness and cleanliness-two old fashioned words repeated often under parental wings, but easily forgotten when "away at school." Maybe you can live with yourself in a continual state of chaos, but roommate may not. At least keep your untidyness on your own half, third or fourth of the living quar- ters-and better yet, make it a point to pick, up everything now and then. Men-always a problem and even a greater one when room- mate horns in. Don't share the same man - notwithstanding all advice to the contrary, all such schemes end in disaster. Do try now and then to get her blind dates-instead of the girl across the hall. Don't try intimate con- versations with her date on the phone-even if he wants to know whether she snores! Do give the correct information, according to her desires, as to where she is or isn't-and to the right persons. Above all, listen sympathetically to all her tales of woe and joy-- and spin a few of your own-and all should end in peace-or semi- peace. 41 Dormitory Living Requires Tact, Consideration for Roommates LOCATED AT 514 E.
