NOVEMBER 9, 1949 ThE AMICHIGAN -AIL~Y- PilOE -ETA' fAssembly Association Organizes) 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 Panhel To Qive Suprise Qifts Away at Ball Adding to the list of special events to take place Friday night at the all-campus Panhellenic Ball, a nationally advertised cos- metic company will present gift Hillel To Dance Informally Under_"Big Top"_Saturday 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. f r .""

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.

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 Tea President and Mrs. Alexander Ruthven will be hosts at tea from 4 to 6 p. m. today at their home. All students may attend.
