Big Sister Plan for Freshmen
Transition into the turmoil of
college life was made more simple
and painless this year with the in-
auguration of the new and better
Big Sister program sponsored by
., the Assembly Association.
This program was organized for
the purpose of assisting both the
staffs of the various residence
halls and the freshmen women.
More specifically, the Big Sis-
ters would assume some of the re-
sponsibility of "training" the
freshmen. In other words, they
would help their 'Little Sisters'
learn their new responsibilities in
regard to their dormitory and to
the campus in general.
THE BIG SISTERS could give
that extra personal touch to the
somewhat impersonal and fore-
,oding tone that dormitory life
has for the newcomer. It would
be their task to make the fresh-
men feel truly at home in their
new surroundings.
According to the new program,
the Big Sisters assume three
main obligations toward their

Little Sisters. These are to guide
the freshmen in her charge in
the fields of scholarship, con-
duct and activities.
Concerning scholarship, the pri-
mary aim of the Big Sister is, of
course, to have all her group mem-
bers pass their courses. In pursu-
ing this aim, it was suggested that
the Big Sisters give their charges
pointers as to the best methods of
study (formulated by long expe-
rience on their parts).
WITH REGARD to conduct, it
is thought that the various rules
and regulations involved in college
living could be most effectively
taught the freshmen by a fellow
student. Moreover, the problems
of social decorum are more freely
discussed in an everyday, informal
atmosphere than in a stilted inter-
view surrounding.
Finally, the Big Sisters will
acquaint the members of her
group with the various activities
which the dorm and campus in
general have to offer.
Even though the freshmen are
ineligible to participate in most
campus activities their first semes-
ter, they will be better able to de-
cide which activities they wish to
join as a result of such prepara-
tion.
Hillel's fall dance which will be
presented from 9 p.m. to midnight
Saturday, Nov. 12 in the League
Ballroom will offer couples an
evening of dancing under the "Big
Top."
Decorations, favors and refresh-
ments for the evening will be pat-
terned after a gay circus theme
and the ballroom itself will be
turned into a veritable circus. A
huge canopy will envelop the room
transforming it into the interior
of a circus tent.
Large cardboard silhouettes in
the form of animals and grin-
ning clowns will cover the walls.
Dance programs will also reflect
the "Big Top" atmosphere. They
will be small replicas of the striped
circus tent.
In place of the familiar strains
of the calliope will be the dance
music of Ken Norman and his or-
chestra. Intermission entertain-
ment will be extra feature of the
evning.
Hillel's social committee has an-
nounced a change in plans regard-
ing the affair. The dance will be
informal rather than formal as
originally announced.

Theta Xi Couples Eat, DanCe7
Make Merry in French Cafe f
J a cok -onl_
By PAT SMITH
Those seeking to spend a pleas-
ant evening in a quiet little French
cafe last Saturday found their
wish fulfilled at the Cafe des TX.
This bit of Paris in the heart of
Ann Arbor was found by entering
"sewer conduit No. 1" (in the form
or the basement entrance to the
Theta Xi house) and following it
down to soixanee neuf on 10th
Avenue.
Here the guests advanced for in-
spection and after giving their
names and being recognized as be-
ing properly dressed, they were al-
lowed to enter.
THE COUPLES were privileged
to drift into the dimly-lighted,
smoke-filled Place Pigalle where
a form of dancing was taking place
oruthey could just stroll down La-
Rue des Grues.
Those who sought to quench
their thirst could enter a quaint
room on the lower level by
crawling through a narrow
opening. Here they could sit in
the soft glow of candle light at
tables covered with red and
white checkered table cloths.
Shouts of "garcon" brought
several questionable looking char-
acters eager to be of service run-
ning to the tables.
A VERY TALENTED artist wan-
dered among the people and
sketched some of the celebrities
present.
Just one casualty occurred
when a slight misunderstanding
caused Dick De Bolt to pull out
his revolver and shoot his adver-
sary who was immediately car-
ried out.

Room.

invited to practice at the Union.
A jazz band straight from a Pa-
risienne night club leaded its bit
towards the evening's festivities.
Its soft pleasant, melodic strains
could be heard for miles around.
* * *
THE BAND was so exceptional
that most of the time the numbers
were quite recognizable. The mu-
sician were Dale Bock on the
clarinet Robert Shanahan play-
ing the cornet, Orrin Gulley at the
piano, and Don Hall on the trom-
bone.
The Messieurs were all dressed
as French sailors with bell-bot-
tomed trousers, flashy striped
T-shirts, cravats, sashes, and
berets.
They completed the picture by
wearing side burns and numerous
scars on their faces. The mesde-
moiselles were dressed as gun
molls.
Bev Young won the prize for the
appropriately dressed woman and
Dick De Bolt took honors for the
men.

Ruthven will be hosts at tea
