Fourth Annual Independent Ball
To Be Set as Army Welcome

Bob Strong and his orchestra
will play for the fourth annual
A/A Hop crowd which will spend
the hours from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.
tonight dancing in the IM Build-
ing.
The dance will be the first in-
formal, all-campus affair of Mich-
igan's fall semester. Sponsored by
the Association of Independent
Men and Assembly,the unaffiliat-
ed women's organization, the
dance will have as its theme,
, Welcome Army," honoring the
Army Cadets who will challenge
the Wolverines on the football
field this afternoon.
A/A Hop is primarily a bene-

Committees, like the rain, fall
fast and furious upon the coeds of
our campus; oftentimes overlooked
in the mad scramble of activities,
but still one of the most important
of these is -the League Merit-Tu-
torial Committee.
Having the elevation of scholas-
tic averages as one of its main
functions, the committee recruits
all people who wish to serve as tu-
tors.
* * *
STUDENTS working in this ca-
pacity must have a 'B" average in
their subject if it is their major
and an "A" if otherwise.
On the merit side of the ledg-
er, each and every woman's po-
sition on campus is recorded
and kept on file in the Merit-
Tutorial office, located behind
the main desk in the lobby of
the League, for future reference
for judiciary and interviewing
councils, honor societies and fu-
ture employers.
Women who work in the office
keeping these files have ample op-
portunity to learn about all of the
campus activities in which they
may participate,
* * *
THEY BECOME acquainted
with the requirements for each
position and thus know those jobs
in which they may be interested in
the future and what is expected of
them in these posts.
All sophomore, junior and
senior women possessing eligi-
bility cards may sign up for this
committee at a mass meeting to
be held later in the week.
At this time, all those interested
may sign their performance of
time and day to work, since each
member must spend (one to two
hours a week in the afternoons fil-
ing the personnel reports and
points received for such a job.

fit dance. Each year the proceeds
are donated to the University
Fresh Air Camp. These funds are
used in the operation of the camp
which cares for a group of over
200 underprivileged young boys
during the summer months.
THE YOUNGSTERS are gen-
erally maladjusted socially and the
camp attempts to provide them
'with healthful guidance and ex-
periences.
Proceeds have also been used
to winterize the camp so that
University students may make
use of the facilities for social
functions.
For the first time, houses have
been invited to set up booths to
allow weary dancers "sitting this
one out" to rest comfortably dur-
ing the evening. The booth with
the most novel decorations will be
awarded a prize.
THE DEAN OF Women's Office
has granted coeds attending the
dance late permission.:
Tickets will be available at
the door.
Patrons for this year's A/A Hop
include: President and Mrs. Alex-
ander Ruthven, Dean. and Mrs.
Erich A. Walter, Dean and Mrs.
Walter B. Rea, Prof. dnd Mrs. Ar-
thur Bromage, Dean Elsie Fuller,
Dr. and Mrs. Arthur Eastman and

men and women, will hold its first
meeting of the year at 7 p.m.'
Monday, in the Dance studio of
Barbour Gymnasium.
Inez Miller will manage the
club's activities again this year.

exercises in "Adage" or studies inc
balance. This consists in a succes-
sion of slow movements performedr

Coed Library
Proves Study
In Comfort
Too few coeds realize that they
possess an ideal study spot all
their own, the League Library.
Seats of all shapes, sizes and
depths are situated throughout the
room so that even the coed with
the most unusual sedentary study
habits should be able to make her-
self comfortable.
Those who enjoy studying minus
their shoes, in jeans or curled up
in their favorite contortion can
make themselves right at home in
the Library.
THE LIBRARY on the third
floor of the League has an ex-
tensive book collection lining its
walls. Though most of the books
are not texts or for the classroom,
there are quite a number of novels,
dramas and books of poetry which
are used in University English
courses.
The coed stronghold also has
an outstanding selection of cur-
rent novels, and has magazines
for casual reading and encyclo-
pedias for reference work.
Beginning this semester, a radio
will be provided in the room so
that coeds may listen to the away
football games with their dates on
Saturday afternoons.
* * *
OPERATING the Library is the
League Council. The League vice-
president, Dorothy Fogel, *orks
closely with the librarian, Miss Ida
V. Jenks, in its supervision.
Miss Fogel has welcomed sug-
gestions from women for the
improvement of the Library's
facilities or schedule.
The Library will be open at the
following times during this semes-
ter: Monday to Friday, 1 to 5:30
p.m. and 7 to 10 p.m.; Saturday,
(except on home games, when it
will be closed) 1 to 5:30 p.m. and

By JAMES GREGORY
With stray wisps of hair emerg-
ing from under ill-fitting Stetsons
three coeds disgtiised more or less
as menrushed Theta Delta Chi
fraternity.
The female rushees were an un-
qualified success-simply because
their disguises fooled no one.
"Schuyler Van Deusen," replied
one coed when asked what her
name was. "Herman Fink," an-
other answered. The third rushee
stoutly insisted that she was
Thaddeus Q. Quicksand, but in-
vestigation revealed later that she
usually went under the name of
Diane Bull, '52.
THE OTHER TWO coeds con-
fessed to being Ginny Jobes, '52,
and Ann Diller, '51.
Apparently tired of life in
their sorority house, the three
crashed a Theta Delt smoker
wearing baggy pants, sport coats
with padded shoulders and ex-
pressions of irresistible feminine
curiosity.
The Theta Delts met the trio on
the porch. Too gentlemanly to ad-
mit they saw through the dis-
guise, they nevertheless haddto
deny the visitors admittance. The
Dean of Women, they feared,
might not go along with the joke.
"Fellows, it's really much cooler
out here," they insisted.

/

r

UNDAUNTED THE COEDS
watched the smoker through front
windows and considered the men's
invitations that they pledge im-
mediately.
Several of the men suddenly
decided that they were short a
roommate, but the coeds were
too interested in the smoker to
think about housing at the mo-
ment.

Their unfamiliar garb, whose
ownership they refused to disclose,
presented several problems. One
woman's tie was untied. Striving
to achieve a neat Windsor knot,
she asked, "Is the wide end sup-
posed to be longer than the short
one'?"
ANOTHER RUSHEE'S problem
was more elementary. "I can't
button this shirt!" she complained.
