Football Tickets
Free to Student
Basketball, Other Sports Admissko
Charges Paid for by Tuition Fees
Tickets to Michigan home football games will be given av
"free" to students beginning Monday, Sept. 25, in Barbour Gymr
sium.
The price of the pasteboards actually is included in the tuit
fee, which also covers such items as Union or League members
and Health Service privileges.
THE VALUE of the ticket increases with the length of time
recipient has been in the University. As before, those with the n
semesters in residence will be nearest th 50-yard lin. Freshmen sit
the end zone.
Students can pick up their tickets any time from Monday
until Friday the day before the football opener here agains

tickets are for the whole season, and must be picked up the weel

GROUP SEATING will be al-
lowed under the system agreed
upon last year by the Student
Legislature and the Board in Con-
trol of Intercollegiate Athletics:
Those who want to sit together in
the stadium must present their
cashier's receipts together at the
ticket window.
Each student must pick up his
own ticket.
All members of the group will
then sit in the section where the
one with the least semesters in
residence sits. Seniors who wish
to sit with freshmen forfeit their
chances of sitting on the 50-yard
line; they must sit in the end zone.
IN COUNTING semesters in
in residence, two summer sessions
are equivalent to one regular se-
mester.
Returning students must bring
transcripts to registration so that
the number of semesters they've
been in residence can be certified.
FOR OTHER athletic events,
different systems are followed.
Most of them involve only the stu-
dent's flashing a University iden-
tification card at the gate.
Extension
Service Adds
Enrollment
Catering to an audience numer-
ically equal to the regular student
body, and with the whole state as
its campus, the University Exten-
sion Service takes education to the
people.
EXTENSION SERVICE brought
courses to 21,000 last year. It sent
out 397 faculty and student teach-
ers who lectured in most of Michi-
gan's 87 counties.
The courses offered by the Ex-
tension Service range from art
to zoology. A total of 452 courses
is offered; full college credit is
given for 253 of them.
Courses given in Ann Arbor are
open to students in the University,
though they are of the non-credit
type designed primarily for older
people. Those who are interested
should get in touch with the Ex-
tension Service in the Administra-
tion Building.
FOUNDED IN 1911, the Exten-
sion Service has grown with the
University.
Interest in adult education is
increasing, according to director
Everett J. Soop, and, this growth
is expected to continue.
Courses offered by the Extension
Service are taught by the regular
faculty or by persons approved by
the University teaching depart-
ments.

Musically-minded students have
numerous opportunities on the

University Choir - in addition to
the famed Choral Union - give
concerts during the year.

Dean Walter's Office Serves Students


Headquarters for University
students is the Office of Student
Affairs, on. the ground floor of
the Administration Building.
Presided over by Dean of Stu-
dents Erich A. Walter, it is the
central office of many student
activities, including the Student
Legislature, as well as the source
of various directives regulating
student conduct.
* * *
THE OFFICE IS CROWDED
throughout the day with students
who are requesting eligibility
cards for extra-curricular activi-
ties, getting automobile permits,
checking the social calendar, look-
ing for vacancies in rooming
houses, or maybe reviewing the
account of one of the many stu-
dent organizations.

students on campus.
personal record card for each
The post of dean of students
was formed by the Board of Re-
gents in 1921. This was the first
job of this kind in the country.
THE DUTY OF THE dean of
students is to be "friend, counse-
lor and guide to the student body
with general oversight of its wel-
fare and its activities."
As a result, the Office of Stu-
dent Affairs has become catch-
all for the entire University.,
Even mail clerks who find them-
selves with letters they don't know
what to do with drop them off
at the office.
* * *
IN ITS YEARS of existence the
post of dean of students has ac-

membership in the University Sen-
ate, Council, Conference of Deans,
Board in Control of Student Pub-
lications, Board of Directors of
the Union, Board of Governors of
Residence Halls, and many more.
Back in 1921, the dean's office
was one small room with two
desks in it - one for himself and
one for his secretary.
As the office gathered more and
more jobs, it began nibbling rooms
away from the Registrar's Office
until last year when it moved into
its own office in the new Admin-
istration Building.
Before becoming Dean of Stu-
dents in 1947, Dean Walter had
served as faculty member in the
English department, assistant
dean, and later associate dean of
the College of Literature, Science
and the Arts.

Books Bought,
Sold in Union
At Exchange
Non-Profit Enterprise
Operated by Students.
Students can buy and sell used
textbooks at the Student Book
Exchange - and pick their prices.
The Student Book Exchange is
set up in the Union and operated
as a non-profit organization at the
beginning of each semester by
the Inter-Fraternity Council.
THE EXCHANGE will put a
student's book up for sale at the
price he sets. If another student'
buys it, he gets the money - less
a 10 per cent fee for the Ex-
change's overhead. He is then
paid by check.
If the book doesn't sell, the
student may claim it after the
Exchange closes for the semes-
ter.
Or he can let the Exchange sell
it to one of the local bookstores.
