League Petitioning Remains Open

Group Plans

Claude Thornhill Orchestra To Provide Music

Interviews
Scheduled
Next Week
Help wanted-No experience ne-
cessary!
Although experience helps if
you're interested in petitioning for
a job on the Women's League, the
Interviewing and Nominating
Committee stresses that it is your
enthusiasm, interest and ideas for
the position that really count.
* * *
THERE ARE still many fill-in
posts open at the League for which
interested women may petition.
These petitions are obtainable
from house activities chairmen
and are due in the Undergraduate
office of the League.
Interviewing will be held Mon-
day, Wednesday and Thursday,
and coeds may sign up for an
interview when they return their
petitions.
At these interviews, the Inter-
viewing and Nominating Commit-
tee discusses the woman's peti-
tion with her and asks any per-
tinent questions about the post.
FOR THESE interviews, the
coed should be prepared to give
a summary of her plans, organi-.
zation and ideas for improvement.
She should also remember that
not all the members of the com-
mittee will have read the petition
so she should not hesitate to re-
peat anything she was written.
Students who want help with
their petitions may obtain as-
sistance from the activities
chairman of the house, who can
explain something about the
post and help with the writing
of the petition.
Members of the Interviewing
and Nominating committee will
also be available during their of-
fice hours to help women organize
their petitions.
TWO OTHER valuable sources
of information, found in the Lea-
gue Library, are the President's
Reports and copies of petitions
submitted in previous years.
Topics usually included in the
petition are experience, includ-
ing high school activities, col-
lege activities qualifications, and
perhaps any subjects you have
taken that might pertain to the
job.
You should also include the
duties of the job as you under-
stand them, and the organization
of your committee and methods
for carrying this out.
IF YOU HAVE any criticism of
the job as it has been run, include
that along with suggestions for
improvement. A

and Nominating Committee this

Jan Vorheis, Dawn Waldron and

World University Service, which
coordinates funds collected on!
campuses throughout the world for!
destitute students, will sponsor
"WUS-Capade," a carnival Friday,
November 20 in Lane Hall.
Organizations all over campuses
are being urged to put up booths
for the vent, which is similar to
Michigras on a smaller scale.
Such things as refreshment
booths and chance games are in-
cluded in the plans for the carni-
val, the proceeds from which will
go to WUS.

ANOTHER EVENT in this year's
intensified campaign will be a
bucket drive scheduled for Oct.
28. One of the groups that has
shown a great interest in WUS
projects is the Sociological De-
partment which has volunteered
to take over a bucket for the drive.
Proceeds from these and other
projects are used for such things
as building tuberculosis sanitor-
iums and health clinics, and sup-
plying textbooks and food and
clothing.
Funds are collected on campuses
all over thenworld and allocated to
where the need is greatest. Lately,
most aid has been going to stud-
ents in Asia.
WUS, organized several years
ago as World Student Service
Fund, is sponsored internationally
by the World's Student Christian
Federation, Pax Romana-IMCS{
and the World Union of Jewish
Students.
* * *
IT IS administered by a head-
quarters staff in Geneva, Switzer-
land, and works closely with agen-
cies of the United Nations, non-
governmental university organiza-
tions and national unions of stud-
ents.

A featured event during home-
coming weekend, the annual all-
campus dance will be sponsored by'
the Student Legislature.
MUSIC BY Claude Thornhill!
and his orchestra will provide the
downbeat for couples attending the'
traditional dance, while the Hal-
lowe'en theme will prevail in the!
decorations and programs.
Although the dance will not1
be formal, coeds will have a
chance to show-off their best
"dressy" dresses.
Claude Thornhill, who was fea-
tured at the Homecoming Dance
in 1950, has a life of musical ex-
perience behind him. At the age of
six he gave his first recital, and
from that time on he has devoted
all his time and effort to music.
* * *
ACCORDING to publicity chair-
man Bob Apple, Thornhill's music
is planned to appeal to almost
everyone. He plays the latest
numbers, as well as the best of
the hot and jumping music.
In 1951, "Football Fantasy"
was chosen as the theme of the
annual dance. Three - dimen-
sional figures, banners, cutouts
and streamers carried out this
idea. That year couples danc-
ed to the music of Elliott Law-
rence.
Last year Tommy Dorsey play-
ed for "Aumun Nocturne" which
was held a week after homecom-
ing, in order to secure a name{
band.
,IALLOWEEN and autumn
scenes, murals around the walls
and a mirrored sphere in the
center of the ceiling provided the
decorations.-

The homecoming dance has
been an annual event following
the homecoming football game
for many years.
Aside from the dance itself, this
year marks the 54th presentation
of Homecoming festivities at the
University.
* * *
THE BIG weekend was first in-
augurated in 1897 when alumni
came home for a football game
with the Varsity.
The original of the traditional
homecoming displays at Michi-
gan is so ancient that no one

knows exactly when it was be-
gun. There is no evidence of
any house decorations back in
1897.
Just before the first World War,
however, there is a record of a
contest for displays which was

Competing with Michigan State
College and Albion in a round
robin hockey tournament, the
Women's Athletic Association'
Hockey squad came out on top
with 2 wins and 2 ties in its first
contest of the season.
Approximately at the same time
The WAA Tennis Club was op-
posing a team of hand-picked
players from MSC on the Palmer
Field court.
* * *
IN THE TENNIS matches Judy
Strena of State beat Jan Goodman
6-0, 6-1; Helen Whitaken, Michi-
gan defeated Elaine Loo 6-3, 7-5;
while MSC's doubles team compos-
ed of Mary Ellen Weighe and
Joyce Broo topped Pat Burkel and
Judy Slater.
Other Michigan victories were
garnered by Lillian Silverberg
over Stona Jeffrey and Mary
Dumbrique, who defeated Joyce
Wilson.
The Hockey Club's wins were
over Albion, 1-0; and MSC 2-0.
The organization, who's manager
is Donna Westerlund, also battled
the two visiting teams to score-
less deadlocks.
*. s
FOLLOWING the hockey and
tennis matches all the participants
got together for an informal tea
in the lounge of the Women's
Athletic Building.
Both managers, Miss Wester--
lund, and Joan Hyman of the
Tennis Club felt the intercol-
legiate matches were highly suc-
cessful and expressed a desire to
meet the teams once again in
the near future.
Any coed interested in these
sports may still join the WAA or-
ganizations and take part in the
group's remaining activities.
Golf Club
The Golf Club will meet at
5 p.m. tomorrow at the WAB.
All members are asked to bring
a nine-iron and a putter for
practice on the green.

Welcome, Engineering alumni and
industrialists to the University of Michigan.
May the 100th Anniversary be one of the
most profitable and enjoyable and may it
continue, as always, through teamwork.
Puzzling ... when you meet someone
who thinks a quality store deals only in
high priced apparel. We think so too, because
you see everybody can afford to shop at Hutzel's.
