SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1952 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE FIVE SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 195~PAGE FIVE U 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.

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 x 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. -Daily-Don Campbell DIRTY SHIRT--Assistant Dean Peter A.
