Because all tie games will be played off this year, Marion Char- rat, manager of the Coaches and Officials Club, stated that the players must know the rules to avoid unnecessary waste of time. For this reason the clinic is com- pulsory for all team captains. Athletic managers and team captains are especially urged to attend. If one member of a house basketball team does not attend the clinic, the team will be disqual- ified from the tournament. There will also be a compulsory meeting for all timers and scorers at 5 p.m. Thursday in the Fencing Room of Barbour Gym. Besides explaining the rule changes concerning the center cir- cle, blocking, fouls and traveling, an exhibition of different defensive techniques and offensive plays will be presented.

WEBSTER NOT AWARE: Meaning of 'Michigras' Explained to Students By ROZ SHLIMOVITZ Most people use a dictionary to find the meaning of a word. However, Michigras, a word not: defined by Webster, still has plen- ty of meaning for thousands of upperclassmen and townspeople who have witnessed or worked on the spectacle. While this year's Michigras, slated for April 23 and 24, is still six months off, the word will be- come part of every Freshman's and Sophomore's vocabulary before long. Actually the word has many connotations and is used in var- ied respects. It may refer to the whole weekend, to the gigan- tic parade or to the carnival, but most often to all three. Others think of Michigras as a charitable or extra-curricular project, a social event, or a Wo- men's Athletic Association or Un- ion extravaganza. Whatever one thinks, Michigras adds up to the biggest social event of the year. In fact, the project has grown to such an extent that it can be produced only every other year. With special 1:30 a.m. permis- sion granted women students both Friday and Saturday, the week- end begins on a musical and color- orful note with a parade, a favor- ite of those from eight to eighty, along the main streets of Ann Arbor to Yost Fieldhouse. Many neck muscles are stret- ched to catch an early glimpse of the Michigan Marching Band, baton majorettes leading high school bands from all over the state, balloon figures, horses, and best of all, the floats. DRAWING THE most "ohs and ahs," the floats, jointly construct- ed by women's and men's resi- dences, compete for three top prizes. Games of chance, soap operas, "burlesque" shows, cafes, fortune tellers and the customary cotton candy are but a few of the fea- tures of the Michigras carnival. To go with this entertainment, rides are usually present to thrill the young and old. Before this week is over a call will be issued by Michigras Chair- men Gretchen Moiers and Hal Abrams for students to aid in this year's Michigras, the proceeds of which will go to a worthwhile charity or fund. Students interested in being sub-chairman or members of a multitude of committees will have a chance to sign up and learn more about Michigras plans at a mass meeting to be held at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18, in the Union Ball- room. Central committee chairmen an- nounced recently are Charles Skala, finance; Beveral Falk, se- cretary; Barbara Burstein and Bob Gilow, booths; Jane Thomp- son and Guy Moulthrop, parade; Joyce Lane and Ron Bauer, tick- ets; Dianne Young and Dave Arn- old, refreshments. Sally Fernamberg and Jerry Prescott will steer the prize com- mittee, Betsy Sherer and Barney Helzberg, programs; Pat Goddard and Ruth Flanders, decorations; Peg Schaible and Todd Lief, pub- licity. Roz Shlimovitz will handle Daily publicity, Sally Luber, post- ers and Bob Knutson, concessions. Ii ~ ~ ii Remember Seniors This is the last week in which you COMBINED CONCERT-Prof. J.

The director feels that this popularity is due largely to the ability of the club to adapt the content of its programs to the special interests of its audiences. Prof. Staiger utilizes music that current Broadway musicals. Accompanying the group is Mar- ilyn Hall. She has done accom- panying at the Walden Woods vo- cal camp and has given concerts in the Toledo Museum of Art.
