Committee To Start Plans- For Senior Night Program Members of the Senior Night central committee, newly appoint- ed by the Interviewing and Nomi- nating Committee of the League, will soon start plans and prepara- tions for the traditional evening to be held in March. General chairman is Mary Marsh, whose duty it will be to coordinate the activities of her chairmen and plan the traditional march. IN PAST YEARS the line of march united the women before a banquet in the League, and the first JGP performance, given for senior women only.' Assistant general chairman this year is Bev Brown. Her job will be to make arrangements for the dinner and assist the general chairman in any pos- sible way. Tickets for the event, which is the last gathering of graduating senior women, will be handled by Sally Traverse, chairman of the ticket committee. * * * SHEILA FRENKEL, decorations and program chairman, will guide her committee in designing and constructing table decorations and programs for the entertainment during the banquet. Entertainment chairman this year is Peg Zager. Her job will be to choose and plan the eve- ning's program after the ban- quet. In past years excerpts from the graduating class' Frosh Weekend, Sophomore Cabaret and Junior Girls Play were given, and sen- iors reminisced about activities duringtheir college days. * * * NANCY KARNISCHKY and Peg Logan will take over the publicity for Senior Night. Their job will be to get a large audience out for the program. Again~ this year one of the traditionsof Senior Night will be carried out. This ceremony requires married' women to march to the stage in the League Ballroom where the banquet is held, and blow out can- dles. Engaged women must suck a slice of lemon, and coeds who are pinned turn in their prized pins for a safety pin. Those women who have remain- ed free in the matrimonial race will toss a penny for each year of their age in the wishing well to be erected on the stage. The climax of the evening will come when senior women march to Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre to ivitness the premier performance of Junior Girls Play. In 1951 the theme of the eve- ning's entertainment was "From Rosebowl to Rosebowl." Descending upon Ann Arbor's campus last night and Wednesday night were many groups of stu- dent carolers. Early retirers were reawakened by strains from favorite carols being sung under the windows of dormitories and other housing units throughout the campus. * * e MANY groups took advantage of the 11:30rp.m. permission on the two nights to combine, forces in caroling. Sometimes occupants of the houses being entertained by the carols would join in with the caroling group. Santa Claus, paying a visit at the time at a Christmas party, came out in his regalia to join in the sing at one house. The hospitals are never forgot- ten during this season. Carolers from the Michigan Christian Fel- lowshipwere admitted to Univer- sity Hospital Wednesday night and helped to bring a touch of Christmas to the patients on all floors. * * * SOLOISTS were often chosen to help with the songs while the "chorus" hummed in the back- ground. Since men could be in wom- en's residences until 11:30 p.m. on the two nights, tired carolers trouped back to many of the houses for refresments. Hot coffee and cocoa were favored drinks and popcorn balls, ap- ples, and Christmas cake helped to restore energy. Wednesday night Beta Theta Pi combined with the Delta Delta Delta's in a caroling party. * * * CERCLE FRANCAIS, Sociedad Hispanica, and Deutscher Verein held a party Wednesday night also with entertainment in a Rus- sian style to round out the in- ternational flavor. Refreshments were served and then the first two groups went to sing their songs in French and Spanish. Since the members of Deutscher Veein had celebrated for the hol- idays the previous evening, they remained behind. The women of Newberry and the men from Gomberg House found that they weren't too tired to return to sing around Newberry's piano and be enter- tained by one of the cast from Union Opera. Chi Phi's were among other groups to have caroling parties Wednesday night as was Colle- giate Sorosis, Delta Upsilon, Hins- dale-Hayden house and Klein- stuck House. * * * MARTHA COOK joined with the Lawyer's Club to carol Wednesday night and the women from Kappa Kappa Gamma car- oled with the Sigma Alpha Epsi- lon house. Other sororities and frater- Board nities to team up for singing were the Phi Gamma Delta's and the Kappa Alpha Thetas. Prescott house and Hinsdale house continue the list of carolers. Among fraternities caroling Wednesday were Phi Kappa Sig- ma. Sigma Chi, Sigma Phi, Theta Chi, Tau Delta Phi, Theta Delta Chi, and Theta Xi. The University Lutheran Chap- el members also met to carol. The list continues with carolers of last night including Acacia, Al- pha Phi Alpha, Delta Chi and Arts Chorale. Alpha Gamma Delta women and men from Kappa Sigma caroled together last night also. Other voices to fill the air were those from the Delta Chi, Lamb- da Chi Alpha, Phi Delta Phi, Sig- ma Phi, Stockwell Hall, and Straauss houses. Announces Ticket sales will begin the week after Christmas vacation for the annual J-Hop, which will be held on one night only this year, Fri- day, Feb. 6. F r o m Wednesday, Jan. 7, through Saturday, Jan. 10, reser- vation holders will be able to pur- chase their tickets, after which time the reservations will be in- valid. * * * JUNIORS, seniors 'and graduate students may purchase tickets on Monday and Tuesday, Jan. 12 and 13, and from Wednesday, Jan. 14 through Saturday, Jan. 11, any- one may secure tickets until the limit of 1,800 is reached. With J-Hop returning this year to a one night dance, the committee has decided to limit the number of students purchas- ing tickets in order that the I-MW building will not be filled to over capacity. Names of the two bands to play for J-Hop will be released imme- diately after the Christmas vaca- tion period. * * * FOUR O'CLOCK permission will be granted for the dance on Fri- day night, while women are re- quired to be in their houses at 2 a.m. on Saturday night. However it is hoped by the J-Hop committee that this will make no change in the tradi- tional J-Hop weekend during which fraternity parties, after- dance breakfasts and the usual' festivities will still be held. Dancing will take place from 9:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Friday night and tickets will not be sold at the door. * * * GROUPS HAVE already reserv- ed booths for the traditional af- fair, which must be chaperoned by at least one couple, chosen from the Hop patron list, the ap- proved list of fraternity chaper- 0 ones, or from the University facul- ty. Student groups wishing to have parties on J-Hop weekend must receive approval from the Office of Student Affairs, fol- lowing the usual procedures. Chaperones are subject to the approval of the Dean of Students. Two married couples, or one c'ouple and the chaperone in-resi- dence are required as chaperones. Arrangements for housing wo- men over night during J-Hop weekend in men's residences must be separately approved at the Of- fice of the Dean of Women. The Dean of Women must also approve a chaperone-in-residence for fraternities occupied by wo- men guests. The selected chaper- one is to be in residence for the entire weekend and is not to at- tend the dance. Fraternities are closed to callers during the hours a group attends the Hop, except for fraternities housing women guests. The houses may reopen for breakfast if de- sired at 2 a.m. Women must be in their resi- dences before 4 a.m. and frater- nities occupied by women must be closed to members promptly at that hour.
