Beginning with Varsity Night
last night, the judging of displays
this morning and the game with
Minnesota this afternoon, t h e
Homecoming weekend will be cli-
maxed by "Football Fantasy" to-
night.
THIS YEAR marks the 54th
presentation of Homecoming fes-
tivities at the University.
The big weekend was first
inaugurated in 1897 when alum-
ni came home for a football
game with the Varsity.
The first display contest was
apparently held a short time after
World War I but participation
was limited to frateinities.
Train Ticket
Sales To End
Tickets for the Wolverine Spe-
cial to Ilinois wil remain on sale
from 1 to 4:30 p.m. Monday at
the Administration building.
Sales have been extended an
additional day to give students an
opportunity to take advantage of
the offer for inexpensive transpor-
tation to the game which may de-
termine the conference champion-
ship.
Leaving Friday a.m., Nov. 2, the
train will return Sunday evening.
The train will make a seven hour
stopover in Chicago.
It will be Dads' Weekend in
Champaign and a complete round
of entertainment is planned in
addition to the outstanding fea-
ture, the game. The Dolphin swim
show, a Theater Guild production,
the Club Commons big dance of
the year and a pep rally will high-
light Friday night's activities.
Parties are slated for Saturday
night.
EQ To Present

Wives of married men in the
professional medical fraternity,
Phi Chi, numbering about 40, have
organized a club which meets
once every month to promote
friendship among the members.
Trying to find baby-sitters on
the nights of their meetings is
one of the biggest problems for
the wives of members of Phi Chi,
according to Mrs. John Clymer,
president of the wives' organiza-
tion.
Organized three years ago, the
club functions as a social organi-
zation.
Meetings are often centered
around speakers who are experi-
enced in the medical field or are
interested in the life of a doctor's
wife. Sometimes as is natural for
women, the wives turn to bridge.

,Besides functioning merely as a
social organization, the club helps
the fraternity by fixing refresh-
ments and floral arrangements foi
some of their parties.
Last year, the wives made and
filled stockings at Christmastime
for children at Beyer Memorial
Hospital in Ypsilanti. They alsc
filled Easter baskets for children
at the University Hospital.
The club includes, besides wives
of members of the fraternity,
wives of internes and resident doc-
tors.
It is believed that the Phi Chi
wives' club was the first organi-
zation of its kind at the Univer-
sity. Since 1949 when it first
met, other wives of professional
fraternity men have started simi-
lar organizations.
