SUNDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1951 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE SUNDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1951 PAGE TEREE ________________________________________ I I 'i' College SHAPE UP: Photogenic Coeds Adorn 'U' Booklets By DIANE DECKER University women deserve ad- vance warning that it always pays to look their best, in the dorm lunch-line, in classes and even walking across campus. Special Publications' men might be looking them over, and nice looking girls are the ones they pick to adorn the pages of the innum- erable pamphlets and booklets which they publish to give pros- pective students a good look at the University. DICK HUFF and Fred Mon- crieff are the two "pub-men" on whom the load of picking photo- genic models falls. They station themselves at strategic spots and look over the campus crop of wo- men. Then, a secretary takes over to make the approach and ask the prospective model if she'd like to pose. "It's a little easier for a strange woman than for a strange man to make an advance," Mon- crieff explains. Right now, Special Publica- tions is preparing a booklet on dormitory housing, to show available facilities to interested students. During the past week, Huff and Montcrieff have been on the lookout for models. Photogenicdwomen get their * names recorded and when a Pic-. ture is scheduled, they are con- tacted and asked to pose. This is. just a small part of the job of the publications bureau, however. BEFORE preparing a booklet,; editor Alice Beeman obtains from the department sponsoring the publication a written record- of what they want included. This is adapted to a "saleable" vein, and the art editor, Huff, begins to lay-out the booklet and approxi- mate costs. After interminable intervals of discussion between the sponsor and the editors, final plans are1 laid for the publication and it goes to press. In addition to informative book- lets, Special Publications puts out a "house-organ" for the faculty,] which tells what's going on in the Administrative circles, the finan- cial report and a monthly letter to high school principals. The biggest feather in SP's cap1 to date is-receiving a "best collegeR publication of 1951" award for a; booklet entitled "Research in En-1 gineering and the Physical Sci-r ences."a Homemo PRE-CHRISTMAS CHORES-B Lundy, '54, spray the Prescott economical dormitory decoratin . * Limited Bud Christmas In By MIKE WOLFF Ingenuity was the byword at East Quadrangle's Prescott House and other men's dorms this week as slashed budgets forced imagin- ative planning for a typical "ho- mey" dormitory Christmas.

In previous years the individual houses were allowed 'almost unlim- ited purchase orders at local stores. Many houses spent more on decorations than they had an- ticipated under this plan, accord- ing to Leonard A. Schaadt, Busi- ness Manager of the Residence Halls. One of Prescott's major prob- lems was getting the large candles they wanted. As those proved too expensive to buy, they were final- lyusuessfullytcostrucwhte fro drai pusu and caroard cyln- ders. The cylinders come from lin- oleum rolls and were donated by a local hardware store. When plans to secure tile blocks from the Angell Hall construction area were thwarted by an observ- ant watchman, the men decided to use painted pie tins as the bases for their candles. At present, Prescott is holding Its nose over a two-foot paper- mache snowball that emits a very disagreeable odor due to the vast amounts of glue used in its con- struction.

Sponsored by the Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity, the con- test will invite the men to make their candidate as horrible as possible. A variation of the contest held by other chapters of the nation- wide organization, students and faculty will be able to pick their winner during the week which will end with Michigras. From the beginning of next se- mester until the final ballot cast- ing, the sponsoring men's housing units will be at work showing their candidate to the campus. The last week, a booth will be set up by the service organization on the diag. Here, they will dis- play huge replicas of each mask, under which there will be a huge covered jug. Voters will show their decisions by putting money into the jug un- der their choice. All the money contributed will be donated by Alpha Phi Omega to charity and any of the over- head costs will be paid for by the organization.

Its chief purpose is to bring together a representative cross- section of students, administra- tion and faculty so that mutual problems can be openly and frankly discussed, according to James Robertson, Assistant Dean of the literary college. "Which does not mean that nothing ever results from these meetings," Dean Robertson added. "Changes in the counseling ser- vices among other things recom- mended by the conferences have been instituted in the college and teachers have been influenced by student opinion expressed there," he stressed. After the meeting is over, a sub- committee will be organized from among students present which will draw up a report of the general trends of discussion. The report will later be present- ed to the college for consideration and action.
