THUSDAY, MARCH 10, 1949 THE MIHIGAN DA L-Y '"Tit ,. r ...... . - i _ .. League Petitions For Soph Posts Senior Women Due Tomorrow O Contrary to current thought, the floorshow of Sophomore Cabaret is not a separate division, but an essential part of the annual Cab- aret, for which freshmen petitions are due tomorrow. Included among the floorshow positions are the director, assis- tant director, script chairman, dance chairman and her assis- tant and the costumes, makeup, ushering and music chairman, and stage manager. The director's job is that of the head of the floorshow committee who knows what is going on be- hind the scenes as well as in front. She and her assistant conduct try- outs with other members of the committee as well as doing general direction. Women petitioning for this position should state what ex- perience they have had if any, ac- cording to M'4ary Caroline Wright, chairman of the interviewing com- mittee.- * * * SUPERVISION of script writ- ing and preparation of the script for the use of the cast is the re- sponsibility of the script chair- man and her committee which is optional. A sample of the work of women petitioning for this would be welcomed by the interviewing committee if possible. The dance chairman and her assistant help hold try-outs for dancers and work on routine training. They plan and direct the dances. Previous experience in dancing or teaching dancing is necessary for these positions, according to Miss Wright since these committee members are responsible for making up the steps. Women interested in dress de- signing or a corresponding field would find their main interest in1 Economists To Be Guests The second Student - Faculty Hour honoring the Economic De- partment will be held at 4 p.m.' this afternoon in the Grand Rap-3 ids Room of the League. Any and all coeds who are in- terested in promoting a more in-' formal atmosphere between them- selves and the faculty, or those1 who are interested in economics, are cordially invited to come. The hour is spent drinking cokes and eating potato chips while in-' volved in any sort of fascinating' conversation. If this proves inade- quate, guests may engage in a game of ping-pong, bridge or in observation of the television set. The hostesses for this afternoon are members of Alpha Kappa Al- pha and will include; Pat Penman, Edwina Dickerson, Barbara Stew- art, Margaret Stevens and Bar- bara VanDyke. These social hours are spon- sored jointly by Assembly and Pan-Hellenic and the committee in charge of the hour is made up of five representatives from each.I Hostesses are chosen from a dif- ferent women's campus group for each week's gathering. Sophomore Cabaret in the Cos- tumes committee. The costumes chairman designs and supervises the making of all costumes as well as purchase the materials with her assistant who helps her in all work. Sketches can be submitted as an example of the work of women petiticining for this job. * * * EXPERIENCE IS also a neces- sary prerequisite for the coed holding the position of makeup chairman. She will purchase the materials, train the committee members, arrange a make-up schedule for the cast and super- vise the makeup during eah per- formance. Main points of trial of the ushering chairman will be get- ting commititee members and training them, while she herself will be head usher during the performance. Planning and directing the sing- ing in coordination with the dance chairman are the jobs of the music chairman and her assistant. It is helpful but not necessary for this person to be in music school. The assistant to this post obtains an accompanist, holds try-outs with the chairman and helps in train- ing choral groups. * ~* * THE STAGE manager and her assistant supervise the stage crew, take care of sceneries and proper- ties, and are in charge of lighting effects and props. Sophomore positions with an eye to the future include five ju- diciary aides, two interviewing committee members, and three dance class captains. Good experience for possible ju- diciary committee members can. be gained by sophomore aides who work under present committee members in checking sign-out sheets and reporting to the com- mittee member over them. The League constitution and president's reports are good sources of information for fresh- men interested in this work. Be- sides ideas on routine work, peti- tions for these positions could contain ideas for other jobs to be given judiciary aides. SOPHOMORE interviewing committee members are responsi- ble for work identical to that of the upperclass members. They help decide position holders, in reading and grading petitions and sitting in on interviews, as well as do other workndelegated by the chairman of that committee. Experience in wrking with women around the League as well as experience in meeting and working with men in their classes is available to dance class cap- tains. Ideas for making the commit- tee more informal and general improvements will be welcomed from women interviewing for these posts. Sophomores working in this ca- pacity help formulate plans, get hostesses, and serve on the com- mittee. In these positions as well as others, ideas for improvement are useful.

In 1944, Miss Curtis won the Sullevin award as outstanding athlete of the United States. Since this award is usually given to outstanding men athletes, it was an unusual feat for Miss Curtis to win it. While in Ann Arbor, the cham- pion swimmer is slated as a guest of Kappa Alpha Theta. Her stay here will be very limited due to a rush schedule, but it is hoped that her short stop will be sufficient to give University coed swimmers some good pointers in swimming form. * * '* A FORMER University of Cali- fornia student, Miss Curtis left after three years there when go- ing into the Olympic meets. Fu- ture wedding plans as well as her career as a professional swimmer, now hinder her return to school.
