SpiritHigh at 'Beat State' Rally
Football Fans
Follow Band
From Urion
Seven thousand rollicking Mich-
igan students sang, cheer e d,
rocked cars and marched to the
glow of torches in the season's first
big pep rally last night.
With the aid of a score of speak-
ers, cheerleaders and the March-
ing Band, students roared encour-
agement to the football team
housed in the golfcourse clubhouse
nearby with thunderous roars of
"Beat State."
THE MOB began to mingle around
the Union at 7 p.m., waiting for
the rally to begin by rocking cars
and busses. After the arrival of
the cheerleaders and students
armed with flaming torches, the
crowd let loose with lusty cheers
f and songs.
Gasoline was thrown into the
gutter in front of the Union and
ignited, lighting up the throng
with a bright orange glow.
After some preliminary shouts,
songs, and assorted sirens created
a constant roar, the milling stu-
dents followed the Michigan
Marching Band down State St. to
Ferry Field where a blazing bon-
fire and a short program awaited
them.
MINGLING in the crowd was
the Figi Marching Band and an
ambulance, as it wended its way
to the athletic field.
One stunt planned by the
Wolverine club went awry when
a truck carrying some bales of
hay and a crated lamb got a
flat tire and sat out the festivi-
ties in a gasoline station.
At Ferry Field, former All-Amer-
can Al Wistert, '51, urged the
crowd to cheer the team on to
victory in today's fracas. Emcee'dj
by Dave Brown, '53, with music
by the band and some expert ba-
ton twirling, the program includ-
ed jokes by Howard Willens, '53,
SL president, and a survey of the
football situation by Leo Fisher,
sports editor of the Chicago Her-
ald-American.
The "Cow College Chant." writ-
ten and sung by a chorus con-
sisting of Dave Belin, '54 L; Rog
Wilkins, '53; Karl Hasselwander
'54L and Irv Stenn, '55L was
quickly taken up and sung by the
hugh crowd.

ROLL 'EM UP--Emcee Dave Brown, '53 obeys the shouts of the
seven thousand students gathered at yesterday's "Beat State"
rally and rolls his khakis to the knees. A surprise feature at the
program was the sensational baton-atics of the Marching Band's
two twirlers, Bill Modlin, '54 and Floyd Zarboch, '53 A&D. Cheers,
songs and speakers highlighte'd the spirited evening.
Daily Staff Among Activities
en To Campus Women
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first
in a series of articles about wom-
en's activities at the University.
By PAM SMITH
One of the many activities open
to women on campus is the Wom-
en's Page of The Daily.
In order to join in the extra-cur-
ricular fun and gain valuable ex-
perience in the newspaper world,
coeds need only show a genuine in-
terest in writing.
* *
TRYOUTS on the Women's
Staff receive a semester of training
in -writing stories and headlines,
and after about a month on the
staff each tryout is assigned one
or two small beats for which she
is responsible.
During this period each tryout
signs up to work night desk
once a week from 4 to 7 p.m.
While on night desk she writes
headlines, rewrites stories and in
general helps the night editor.
After the tryout period the coed
becomes a sophomore staffer and
assumes more responsibility.
s . .
HER BEATS become larger and
more interesting and when she
works night desk she is responsible
for seeing that all stories and pic-
tures assigned are in the copy
drawer.
All soph staffers attend a
weekly meeting designed to train
them for night editorshbs.
At these meetings the sophs re-
view the style rules, and practice
making up pages. Learning which
stories should be given the lead
spot and which headlines look
best for each story takes skill and
practice.
AFTER SUCCESSFULLY com-
pleting her sophomore training, a
coed is eligible for a paid appoint-
ment as night editor.
Each night editor is respon-
sible for putting out the Wom-
en's Page one night each week.
She must edit all the copy, if
necessary cut it to fit properly,
decide what headlines to use, and
arrange the page so that it looks
best.

A NIGHT EDITOR, after she
has completed five academic se-
mesters, is eligible for a senior ap-
pointment as Women's Editor or
Associate Editor.
The Editor and her associate,
among other duties, assign beats,
write a critic sheet on each
night's page, supervise the entire
staff, and keep close track of all
sociAl events and women's activi-
ties.
Several times a year the Wom-
en's Page puts out a special sup-
plement. These supplements offer
a change from regular straight re-
porting and all members of the
staff are urged to contribute fa-
shion features, job notes and any
other interesting articles they
may think of.
IN ORDER to become staff
members, coeds need only academ-
ic eligibilty and a real interest in
the paper.
Any women interested are
urged to try out for the staff
this semester. Coeds may con
tact the Women's Editor at the
Student Publications Building
any time next week.
Editor of the Women's Page is
Lorraine Butler and the Associ-
ate Editor is Mary Jane Mills.
The night editors on the staff
are Marilyn Campbell, Bea John-
son, Kathey Zeisler, Roberta Mac
Gregor, and Nan Reganall. An-
other night editor will be appoint-
ed this fall.
I-Hop, formerly A-Hop, the first
all-campus dance of the year, will
be presented by Assembly Associa-
tion and Inter-House Council
from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Saturday,
Oct. 11, in the League Ballroom.
The annual dance has been pre-
sented asA-Hop for four years by
Assembly Association and the As-
sociation of Independent men.
However, this year Inter-House
Council a new men's organization
will takt the place of AIM.
THIS CHANGE warranted a
change in name, so I for Inde-
pendent was substituted.
I-Hop will be presented the
night of the Michigan-Indiana
football game. It will be open
to all students and affiliates are
especially invited.
The dance will be informal and
late permission has been granted
to coeds until 1:30 a.m.
* * *
PROCEEDS from the dance are
given to a charitable organization.
In 1950 they went to the Phoenix
Project and last year they were
given to the University's Fresh Air
Camp, which provides camping ex-
perience for underprivileged chil-
dren. They will be given to this
same organization again this year.
When the dance was present-
ed in 1950, it had as its theme
'Moon Midst," and transported
couples from the common, f a-
miliar life of today to a fantas-
tic, unreal world among the
mountains of the moon.
In the center of the ballroom a
rocket ship was poised ready for
take-off and around the sides of
the room were murals depicting
imaginary scenes of the world of
the moon.
* * *
PROGRAMS were designed to
illustrate the "out of this world"
theme.
About the room, concession
booths and the photogarphy
booth lent themselves toward
creating a mystic and unreal
atmosphere.
That year the system of having
two orchestras play for the dance
was initiated and was continued
last year and will be used again
this year.
* *, *
BY HAVING two orchestras the
committee felt that there would
be music which would appeal to
everyone. A combo provided
"swing" for listening or dancing
and slow music wasbplayed for
dancing in the main ballroom.
The 1950 dance featured the
music of Johnny Herberd's or-
chestra for those who liked it
hot and fast, and Hugh Jack.
son's music was provided for the
couples who like their music
slow and dreamy.
Last year the theme of the an-
nual affair was "Kick-Off." It
was presented after the Indiana-
Michigan football game, and fea-
tured scenes familiar to all stu-
dents on the day of the big game.
* * *
ALONG the sides .of the room,
bleachers were placed, on top of
which there were pennants of
some of the team's traditional
football foes.
Big yellow chrysanthemums,
traditionally worn by loyal Uni-
Versity supporters, supplement-
ed the football theme and meg-
aphones were scattered around
the ballroom.
Several other rooms were deco-
rated and music piped to them
where couples could find enter-
tainment and relaxation.
A LIFE-SIZED University coed
and her companion complete with
slickers and droopy helmets,
caught in an Ann Arbor monsoon,
were represented in cardboard.
Couples were enabled to walk
down State Street and not leave
the League, because the con-
course represented the Univer-
sity's main drag, complete with
the Arcade, Angell Hall and
various street adornments, in-
cluding fire plugs and stop
signs.
The campus would not have
been complete without the Arb,
and so this too found its place on
the second floor of the League. A
room was decorated and chris-
tened the Arb Room with shrubs,
appropriate signs, and a quarter
moon to set the mood.
TWO WISE OWLS with twin-
kling eyes kept a close watch on
the couples.
A certain Liberty street tav-.
ern, familiar only to those over
21, was present, although al-
tered somewhat by serving re-
freshments unknown to the
establishment.
A dormitory with typical men's
accoutrements such as ties, ciga-
rettes, shaving equipment and the
like were duplicated in one half
of a room and perfume bottles,
lipsticks, evening clothes and typ-
ical coed accessories adorned the
other half.
* * *
BOB ELLIOTT and his band
provided the music for dancing,
and a roving combo from Detroit
offered intermission entertain-
ment.
The general chairman for this
year's I-Hop is Gail Hyman, and
she will be assisted by the other
committee heads. These posts
are divided between men and
women, because the dance is be-
ing co-sponsored by these two
organizations.
Decorations chairmen are Sue
Alderman, Mimi Blau, Ronald
Dalton and Dan Peterson. Finance
and orchestra are being handled
by Della Galloway and Jerry Park-
er.
