Annual Workshop
For New Pledges
Junior Panhellenic, under the
direction of Debbie Townsend, is
in the midst of its annual work-
shop. The project is part of the
entire yearly program for better
organization and more "power" in
the Panhellenic Association.
Pledges attending the workshop
have been divided into five dis-
cussion groups. The first group
will plan special projects and de-
termine public relations, under the
direction of Heather Hutchins.
Another discussion group will pro-
mote the development of leader-
ship in pledge classes, at the Lea-
gue and on campus in general.
The third forum will create en-
thusiasm within the pledge classes'
and try to unify all of the pledges.
The above groups will be guided
by Norma Seidon and Judy Rog-
ers, respectively.
Streamlining the Junior Pan-
hel constitution and developing
better relations with Senior Pan-
hel will be the job! of the fourth
panel, with Gail Clark and Laura
Hoffman directing the discussion.
The last group will evaluate the
present rushing program under
Ginny Zinn and Shirley Mason.
strains of Hal Singer's music Sat-
urday night.
Singer is a familiar name on
campus as he has been in Ann
Arbor since 1947 and has enter-
tained students at a variety of
affairs ranging from dances to
parties and banquets.
In 1948 he was arranger for the
"Feeble Four," a barber shop quar-
tet which did a large amount of
singing around campus for talent
shows.
Singer composed half of the
music for two Union Operas, "Lace
It Up" in 1950 and "Go West,
Madam" in 1951. The orchestra
will play several numbers from
these operas. They will also fea-
ture a special arrangement of
"Michigan," which Singer wrote
for the 1950 "Soph Satire."
Members of the Hal Singer or-
chestra include Jim Phelps on gui-
tar; Dick Potter, string bass;
Royce Armstrong and Kay Meisen
on trombone, with Arnold Halley
at the drums and Singer ,leading
at the piano.
The group will present a vocal
arrangement of their "Fourth
Man theme" and their brand
new theme song, "Anne."
Paul McDonough and his or-
chestra have played at numerous
campus events. The six-piece
group, together with Betty Mag-
yar as vocalist and Don Ghareeb
as emcee, will present a Christmas
medley including "White Christ-
mas," "Christmas Song" and
"Christmas Dreaming."
The "Pastels," under the direc-
tion of Robert Cohler, will hold
forth on the, second floor of the
League both nights.
Students are reminded that
Soph Cab is a "stag or drag" affair.

residences early each spring, as
the black-robed members of Mor-
tar Board, national honorary so-'
ciety for senior women, tap new
members.
Winding their way through the!
halls after hours, the singing co-
eds present their symbol, the mor-
tar board, to between fifteen and
twenty surprised and sleepy coeds.'
The new members know nothing
of their nomination until the tap-
ping ceremonies.
Selected on the basis of ser-
vice, scholarship and leadership,
the new initiates are chosen by
members of the society. A spec-
ial voting plan is followed.
As a first step in electing new
members, letters are sent to var-
ious campus organizations, house
mothers and faculty members.
Recommendations received in ans-
wer to these letters are then con-
sidered.
To be eligible for membership in
Mortar Board, in addition to thet
recommendation, a coed must have
a grade average at least three-
tenths of a point above the over-
all campus women's average. ThisI
average is figured through the fall
semester preceding tapping.
As long as the average meets the}
requirements, however, no furtherz
consideration is given to grades in1
selecting members. Since Mortarl
Board is a senior organization, new
members are either second semest-
er juniors or first semester sen-
iors at the time they are tapped.
E a r l y May, approximately
three weeks after tapping, is the
usual time for traditional inia-
tion ceremonies, held in the
League Chapel. At this time new
members sign their names on
the official roll books, receive
their pins and learn of the var-
ious traditions of the society.
bers are present. This is to help
new members get started. At the
first such meeting officers are
elected.
Forming the Executive Council,
the officers make plans for meet-
ings, projects and other activities.
Throughout the fall and spring
terms, regular meetings are held
approximately every three weeks.
Meeting in the Student-Faculty
Lounge of the League, thedcoeds'
hold a business meeting and then
turn to an educational program,
often a speaker.
Since the women are planning
to study the English Language
Institute here on campus this
year, they have invited Mrs. Ed-
ward Anthony of the Institute
to speak to them at their next
meeting. Through their study,
the members hope to get a bet-
ter idea of the work of this di-
vision of the University.
Representing almost every school
on campus, present members of
the local chapter are active in a
great number of actives.
President Mirium Blau has spent
much of her time with the As-
sembly Board, while vice-president
Sue Popkin is an officer on the
Student Legislature as well as a
member of the Student Publica-
tions Board.
Concentrating most of her acti-
vities in the School of Music is
secretary Lucille Stansberry. Mary
Catherine Hutchins, former as-
sistant director of the Gilbert and
Sullivan Society, is also an active
student in the School of Music.
Treasurer Jacqueline Schiff is
active in the League, as are Ann
Plumton and Phyllis C. Bett-
mann. Sue Alderman was form-
erly vice-president of Assembly,
while Martha Hill is president of
Panhellenic Association and Bet-
II
ty Magyar, secretary of the sen-
ior class.
WAA activities take up most of
Marion Swanson's time and Stu-
dent Legislature is prominent
among the activities of Barbara
Mattison. Virginia Voss is editor-
ial director of The Daily, while
Katherine Zeisler is associate wo-
men's editor and a former mem-
ber of Assembly Board.
A variety of ,campus 'activities
are listed by Audrey McIntyre and
Gretchen White.
Members of Mortar Board can
be identified by their pin, a small1

Two local funds are main-
tained by money-raising pro-
jects of the coeds. These funds1
include a $100 scholarship
awarded each year to a Univer-
sity coed entering her senior
year.

cated last year, the memorial is
made up of books of drama, in
honor of the late Dean Lloyd, who
was very interested in the theater.
A new project this fall is the
organization of an alumnae chap-
ter in the Ann Arbor area. Al-
though meeting informally in past
years, the women decided just re-
cently to organize officially.
Advisors for Mortar Board serve
for three year terms. Taking over
the position this fall is Mrs. Ruth
Calahan.
Listing 88 active chapters, Mor-
tar Board was organized national-
ly on February 16, 1918. The Uni-
versity was among the founding
schools. As a national group, the
society holds conventions, publish-
es a quarterly magazine and helps
the individual chapters.

Once there was a sophomore
whose father had a bad habit of
saying "No". Vehemently. Par.
ticularly about money. Ask him
the Big Question and his jowls
would turn a fetching shade of
vermilion.
So Junior, his need needled by
three days of living on liverwurst
sandwiche eastabnt for a New
mediately. Urgent. Please flash
by telegraphic money order." Re-
sults? Our sophomore was caress-
ing the cash within two hours.
What's Junior's major? Psy-
chology, of course.
It's darned good psychology to
wire home at other times than just
'when you need heln and comfort.
