THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE FIVE Coeds Announce Show Themes Mimes Alumni Members Y"% I 1 11 I A (" 0 . s.* * * Frosh To Vie For Honors DuringEvent By JANET SMITH Every spring the Ann Arbor campus witnesses a breath-taking race. Under the title of "Frosh Weekend," two teams of freshmen coeds, the Maize and the Blue, put on a floorshow and a dance. At the end of the competition, the win- ning team receives a plaque as proof of its ability. The starting gun in the 1953 race was fired this morning with the announcement of the theme chosen by each team. These themes, kept secreteuntil now, were chosen by the central com- mittee of each team. "IT'S OUT of this world!" say Maize team committee members, in discussing their theme, "Jump- in' Jupiter." Realizing that when the sec- ond semester rolls around, stu- dents get bored with school and tired of this everyday life, the Maize team thought that per- haps minds might wander to the outer space. Some students might even think it would be exciting to take a trip to one of the planets. * * * SINCE THE Maize team cannot manage to take the campus off this earth, they decided to do the next best thing - bring Jupiter down to Ann Arbor. Space men, robots and flying saucers have been used by Two Sororities To Award Prizes Applications for the Delta Delta Delta Scholarship and the Kappa Delta Alumnae Scholarship are due at 5 p.m. on Wednesday in the Dean of Women's office.

Applications for both scholar- ships are available in the Dean of Women's Office. -Daily-Harvey Price FROSH WEEKEND ... Miss Ethel McCormick, social director of the League, fires the shot that sets off the race between the Maize and the Blue. Competing for top honors in this years Frosh Week- end, to be held from 9 p.m. to midnight April 17 and 18, the Maize team will present "Jumpin' Jupiter," while the Blue team has chosen "Whirled Series" as its theme. 5how Interest The "ole college spirit" that is unique with members of the Mimes, organization was illustrated re- cently in a letter sent to Harry Blum, president of the campus group from Frank A. Kapp, a "chorus girl" in "Michigenda," the first Union Opera Production. In the letter, Kapp expressed his wish to be included in on all Mimes' activities. Kapp said he was Costumes and Scenery Chairman for "Culture," the other Union Opera production in December of 1908, and General Chairman of the "Koanzaland" ex- travaganza in 1909 as well as a "chorus girl" in the first show in 1908. A pioneer in founding the "U" opera club, the Mimes, Kapp and several other Union men got to- gether while working on the latter two operas to discuss forming a club. When Kapp was General Chair- man of "Koanzaland" the Union sent him on a trip to visit other opera organizations such as the Black Friars at the University of Chicago and the Triangle Club at Princeton. "Our conversations didn't get very far," said Kapp, "because the activities of our Senior year in- terfered no end." Although the Mimes organiza- tion did not become a reality while Kapp was a student at the Uni- versity, he was made a member of the group when it was founded in 1912. The song, "When Night Falls Dear," which came from the "Michigenda" score was large- ly responsible for the success of the male show and the Union Operas that have since become a traditional event at the 'U.' Other Mimes Alums showed in- terest in the organization as they attended the Mimes banquet re- cently. William B. Tippy took a plane In Activities from New York to attend the ban- quet while Orwin Sanborn travelled from Detroit. Tippy appeared in the 1929 pro- duction, "Merry Go Round," and Sunborn played in the "Top of the Morning" show with Thomas Dew- ey. Also present at the Mimes din- ner was Lionel "Mike" Ames who had the "female" lead on the 1923, 1924 and 1925 Union Op- eras. The 1924 extravaganza, "Cotton Stocking," probably the most successful opera, toured 18 cities that year and had a sell out at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. Many Michigan college songs have originated from the opera. shows such as "I'll Ne'er Forget My College Days" from Koanzaland and the "Fire Song" from "Con- trary Mary" in 1913. At first the opera club presented short plays and skits as its function was to further dramatics and play productions at theiUniversity. When the club began to confine its efforts on satires and mimicry of local and national personalities, the club adopted the name of "Mimes" taken from the word mimicry. The first Union opera revenues were used to help build the pres- ent Union building. '4 A new League Constitution which would center all power in a representative body to be known as the Women's Senate was ex- plained by League President Phyl- lis Kaufman at a special Board of Representatives meeting held yes- terday. Under the new plan the senate will have final power over the pro- jects as well as the legislation of the League. * * * AS EACH member of the Senate would automatically become a member of an Assembly Council or Panhellenic Association, I 5. Legislate on Issues concerning all women. WHILE THE League Council currently consists of Executive and Administrative Board and repre- sentatives of associated organiza- tions, the groups will be consolida- ted under the new plan into a Pro- jects and Executive Board. The Executive Board would then be composed of officers of the League, the presidents of As- sembly and Panhellenic Associa- tions, the chairman of Judiciary Council and Interviewing and Nominating Committee Rifle Club Members of the Rifle Club will meet tomorrow and Wednesday only on the rifle range at WAB. Meetings will be held at the regular times aft- er spring vacation. 1 Under the present constitu- tion the same information some- times has to be presented at six different meetings, The proposed Senate which will replace the Board of Representa- tives will have major functions if the new Constitution is approved, They are the following: 1. Approve the League's budget. 2. Approve projects initiated by the League Council. 3. Approve appointments made by the Executive Board. 4. Refer projects to appropriate organizations for study or solu- tion.

"In the spring, a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of . . . baseball!" And so do the coeds, as the Blue team proved when they chose as their theme for Frosh Weekend "Whirled Series." * * * ra * * * WITH THE Grapefruit League in full swing and every baseball manager in the country lining up his players for that all-importantj opening game, the Blue team de- cided to go along with the trend too. So when students see coeds hurrying toward the League in baseball outfits and swingingt bats, it isn't that they've signed up with the major leagues. It is just the Blue team complet- ing their plans. Coeds and their dates attending the Blue team dance will find themselves in the "old baseball park," complete with stands, bill- boards and pop corn vendors. Tickets, programs and publicity will carry out the atmosphere of this favorite spectacle. Scroll The Scroll Honorary Society will hold a meeting at 2:15 p.m. today in the' League. All mem- bers are required to be present. POSTERS, WHICH are begin- ning to appear all over campus, will inform students that this year's Frosh Weekend is to be held from 9 p.m. to midnight April 17 and 18 in the League Ballroom. Each team will decorate one half of the room so that couples attending each night will have an opportunity to see all decor- ations, regardless of which night they attend. Ted Smith and his orchestra is slated to play both nights. Dressy dresses and heels will be in order for women attending these annual boy-bid dances. Tickets are $1.50 a couple for each night.
