', SEPTEMBER 17,1952 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE NINE tudent Life.- Classroom by Day, Entertainment at Night * * * * * * What to do in Ann Arbor? As a University town of 47,000 >opulation, the city offers much In good entertainment.. SIX MOVIE theatres provide teady diversion to book-weary tudents. In addition to the two cam- pus theatres, which run current hits, there is the Stud.ent Legis- lature Cinema Guild, which spe- cializes in foreign movies and revivals of artistic value. The Cinema Guild operates only on weekends. Downtown, two theatres provide , steady diet of re-run B films with a revival every now and then or a class A picture several months ate. The advantage here is lower prices. Also downtown is a small thea- re which brings excellent foreign ilms and revivals. A run of Alec Guiness films was shown this pring and Italian and English productions are frequently fea- ured. * * * DRAMA flourishes throughout he ,year. There are the speech lepartment's student play pro- ductions in the winter. There is he Ann Arbor Drama Season in May and June, bringing Broad- way stars to act in smash-hit plays. The Arts Theatre Club, a lo- cal professional acting company, stages "theatre in the round" productions at their third-floor play loft downtown. Specializing in a wide variety of rarely pro- duced plays, they have attracted a wide following among stu- dents and townspeople. And there are various student productions - the Junior Girls' Play, the all-male Union Opera, the Student Players productions, Gilbert and. Sullivan operas and dramas sponsored by, the Inter- Arts Union. Together, they manage to en- sure a play practically every week. MUSIC IN Ann Arbor is accord- ed a top spot in most people's en- tertainment calendar. Besides the series of concerts presented by the University Mu- sical Society - including the Choral Union Series, the Extra Concert Series, the Messiah con- certs, the Chamber Music Fes- tival and the May Festival -- there are frequent recitals by members of the music school faculty, which includes a not- able ensemble, the Stanley Quartet. Students make a lot of music, too. There are numerous choral groups, operating for both course credit and for fun. Students in the music school give recitals in order to meet their degree requirements. And in March, the Inter-Arts Union puts on the Student Arts Festival, a three-day gala event which takes in all students artis- tic work, including music. * * * . LECTURES come with such fre- quency that attending them all would be practically a full-time occupation.- In addition to departmental lectures-which are free-there is the Oratorical Association's lecture series, bringing well- known speakers fromall over the country and abroad. Social life is vigorous except during final exam periods. Tradi- tional highlight of the year is the J-Hop formal dance, a two-day shindig between semesters. To the footloose observer, the University offers its museums and galleries for cultural purposes. * * .* IF YOU aren't 21, tavern life is pr'etty well out, unless you have a new identification trick up your sleeve, because most of the tav- erns keep a sharp eye out for abusers of the State Liquor Laws. And the University Liquor Laws prohibit drinking on cam- pus or in University hous- ing, so you'll just have to stew in your coke till that famed birthday. For those loaded with identifi- cation, there are several student bars downtown where you can get beer, wine and good meals, but Washtenaw County is "dry" (no liquor by the glass) so you have to adjust your taste to beer. But there's plenty of beer-good, bad and dark. If you tire of all these offerings, there's always the Arboretum, if you have a girl. The Arboretum, University-owned, is some several hundred acres of wooded hills, absolutely unlit. Study Explains DrinkHabits The old notion that college students get their indoctrination into drinking at college was ex- ploded during the summer by a Yale University Research pro- gram. The study revealed that four out of every five college men who drink acquire the habit before they enter college. With women, the ratio is approximately two out of three. Other survey . findings showed that the probability that a per- son will drink at all is closely re- lated to whether his or her par- ents drink. Flash Card Section To Include Fall Freshmen I Freshmen will be able to work on the new Block "M" Commit- tee of the Wolverine Club which is arranging a giant student flash card section for the fall football games. Last spring 1600 participating students received seat reservations around the 50-yard line-where the flash card section will be located. Seventy-five freshmen will have an opportunity to work on the committee which will plan designs, prepare publicity and do other work to carry out the operation. IN RETURN for their participa- tion on the committee, the fresh- men will be given choice seats near the special section close to the 50-yard line. Interested freshmen may write to Block "M" Chairman Dorothy Fink at 641 W. Buck- ingham Place, Chicago, Ill. They 'should send a postcard with their name, Ann Arbor address I Try FOLLETT'S First USED BOOKS if known and their Orientation Group number. These people will be given first consideration. Freshmen will also be contacted during Orientation Week through their groups. Block "M" members will be co- ordinated into a working unit next fall. Meetings will be held, movies shown and large membership but- tons distributed. Stunts will be presented at the Michigan State game on September 27, the Illinois con- test on November 1 and the Cor- nell game on November 8. The stunts will be coordinated with the program of the famed Mich- igan Marching Band. The Wolverine Club also plans special football trips to games played away from Ann Arbor. Ar- rangements are being made for a trip to Northwestern for the October 17-18 football weekend, -aily-Jack Bergstrom BUSY NOTE TAKERS COMPRISE MAIN PART OF UNIVERSITY'S EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM 'U' Has 100-Member Symphony Orchestra tj In addition to its bands, choirs and other music groups, the Uni- versity can boast a 100-member symphony orchestra.
