TRADITION TO TV:
'House Spirit' Discussed
League to Exhibit Student Art
(EDITOR'S NOTE-This is the sixth
in a seri s on the Michigan House
Plan of sidence halls.)
By JOHN DAVIES
Everything from house tradition
to television figured in dorm lead-
ers' explanations of the most im-
portant reasons why some resi-
dence halls have a lot of "house
spirit" and others have practically
none.
Most commonly named reasons
given in an informal survey of
dorm leaders were house tradition,
quality of leaders and house gov-
ernments, size of the units and
rate of turnover of the residents.
. * *
"NO HOUSE can have good
spirit unless it has both active
leaders and something in its tradi-
tion-like a high athletic stand-
ing-for its members to be proud
of," the resident advisor of a West
Quadrangle house said.
Ray Litt, '52E, president of
Strauss House and the East
Quadrangle Council, felt that
the proper atmosphere in the
house was necessary for it to
be an active one.
"If a number of men partici-
pate in house activities, there is
a tendency for the others to do so
as well. And freshmen coming into
an active house assume that it's
'the thing to do'," Litt said.
* *, *
IF THE GROUP has something
in common to begin with - such
as being predominantly veterans.
or graduate students, as in Alice
Lloyd Halls' Palmer House - more
spirit is usually evidenced.
Activities the whole house can
participate in also seem to help
house spirit. An East Quad house-
mother, for instance, reported that
a television set has "helped the
men know each other."
And everybody seemed to agree
that there was a large element of
chance involved in forming "house
spirit."
(NEXT-Plans and changes in the
women's dorms)
Forty outstanding paintings by
college students will be on exhibit
today through May 8 in the second
floor lobby of the League.
The paintings which are being
shown here under the sponsorship
of the National Student Associa-
tion and the Inter-Arts Union,
were scheduled to appear last
Sunday, but the exhibition was
postponed due to delay in ship-
ping.
The forty paintings comprise an'
NSA showing which was first ex-
hibited at the national NSA con-
gress last August.
