PAGE ETGITT THIE MICIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 19531 'Miss Mac' Guides Activities as League Social Director By RITA GEDROVICS Nucleus of women's extra-curric- ular activities on campus, the Michigan League, provides many outlets for coeds' interests and of- fers opportunities to meet people and make new friends. Freshmen and transfer students who want to get into the spirit of campus life may get acquainted with the League and its functions by meeting the Social Director, Miss Ethel A. McCormick. Better known as "Miss Mac," she is supervisor of the League ac- tivities and is always willing to offer guidance and help to women students. In her opinion, the best way to get started is to get to know all the League facilities. The Round-Up and Rumpus Rooms are the places to go for relaxation with a juke box, dance floor, card tables, television, and a ping pong table. The library and listening rooms and study hall provide quiet places for reading or just everyday study- ing. Miss Mac advises all women to come to League Night which will take place during orientation week and thus get a start in the activ- ities. On that night all freshman women will draw for teams for Frosh Weekend, which is the main event for first-year women. As it has become a tradition, the Maize and Blue teams each present a dance which is judged for deco- rations, programs, and floorshow. Although the shows take place in the spring, second-semester freshmen may also participate in the drawing for teams. The two teams from last year will each present their floor-show on League Night. Other skits will also be presented and the coeds will have a chance to tour the building. After that, the women may start working on committees. The first important work they can partici- pate in is to help with the decora- tions for I-Hop, the first all-cam- pus fall dance sponsored by As- sembly Association, one of the many League groups. The League dance classes are another important function. Coeds may sign up to be hostesses in couples classes or just learn new steps in the singles classes. Also as Miss Mac says, "It is a good way to meet boys." Music-minded women may join the Women's Glee Club, an asso- ciated League activity. The activi- ties of the club include concerts, radio programs and tours. . The League is also known for its community activities. All fresh- man women who like to do civic work, will probably want to join t he service group, The work of these coeds usually consists of volunteer work in the University Hospital or speech clinic. Although the activities are var- ied and very appealing, Miss Mac advises all women to "Be sure and start studying immediately." Thus, they will not be caught short at the end of the semester. Those coeds who may find trou- ble in their studies, however, may seek help from the Merit-Tutorial Committee of the League. As the name implies, this committee pro- vides tutoring services at minimum fees throughout the semester. For women who possess interest In writing, Miss Mac gives the ad- vice to start as a tryout on The Daily women's staff. The "staffers" keep in close touch with all social events and League activities, as well as cover other campus orga- nizations. "Make sure you go to meet Pres- ident Hatcher and his family at the teas," is another suggestion Miss Mac makes to incoming stu- dents. Other important events which students may attend during the coming year are the lecture and concert series. Tickets to these events featuring famous persons may be purchased at the begin- ning of the semester. According to Miss Mac, these series are "the best in the country." Miss Mac likes to see coeds who are interested in extra-curricular activities and thinks that it is very important for everybody to take advantage of all opportuni- ties to go out for activities. How- ever, she advises everybody, "Don't take on top much." After all, studies should come first and many have been known to fail in courses because they were too ab- sorbed in other activities. All freshman women will be, is- sued a little booklet, called the "League Lowdown," which will pro- vide any information wanted about the League, its associated organi- zations and their activities. 11 i i TONS and TONS of USED and NEW TEXTBOOKS CORRECTION - Many people think that Ulrich's Book Store carries only ENGINEERING books ,...Ulrich's carry a very huge stock of USED and NEW BOOKS ...
