IFC To Hold 'DECK THE HALLS WITH BEAUS:
Annual Party' Weekend Offers Round of Dances
For Children o Rrh r

Carol singing on the General Li-
brary steps is on the agenda for
the Lane Hall all-campus carol
sing which will start at 8:30 p.m.
Sunday.
After the outdoor winging, every-
one is invited over to Lane Hall for
wassail and cookies and more sing-
ing.
THE FIRESIDE Room, in which
the refreshments will be served,
will be decorated with holly and
other traditional Christmas orna-
ments.
Grey Austin will lead the car-
ol singing and Ted Beals is gen-
eral chairman of the event.
Lane Hall, provided by the Uni-
versity for use as a student relig-
ious center, houses the Student
Religious Association which coor-
dinates campus religious activities.
ONE OF the many events spon-
sored by the SRA is the Freshman
Rendezvous held every September
to acquaint incoming students
with the activities at Lane Hall.
Another outstanding' event of
this year's SRA program was a
religious symposium which con-
ducted an inquiry into the ef-
fects 'of religion upon society.
Various speakers discussed such
subjects as "Religion Molds Soci-
ety," "Religion Reshapes the Com-
munity," "Religion Motivates Oc-
cupations," "Religion Stimulates
Scientific Inquiry," ''R e lig i o n
Changes the Individual" and "Re-
ligion Changes the World."

THIS SEMESTER the group has
been working on an intensified
Assembly Plans
'Tin Can' Dinner
For Dormitories
Women in all the independent
houses on campus are asked by
the Assembly Dormitory Council
to .bring a tin can of food with
them to dinner tomorrow.
In past years a few individual
dormitories have carried out this
* idea for providing foodstuffs for
needy families. This will be the
first time that the project has been
carried out on a full scale with
league houses, co-operatives and
dormitories all participating.
The combined food from the Tin
Cad Dinner will be divided, half
going to the Dunbar Center for
needy people in the Ann Arbor
area and the other half will be
Y sent to Greece through Detroit
agencies to help relieve the famine
conditions there.
Marking the first undertaking of
the Assembly Dormitory Council's
new Social Service Committee, Ann
Stewart is chairman of the proj-
ect.

campaign for funds for World Uni-
versity Service, a world wide or-
ganization which helps destitute
students.
The facilities at Lane Hall in-
clude a library, music room, med-
itation room, auditorium, kitch-
ens, meeting rooms, a lounge
and counseling offices.
The music room houses a large
collection of religious music from
Bach to Stravinsky, Gregorian
chants to folk songs. Included in
this collection are many priceless
imported recordings and the latest
American recordings.
THE LIBRARY features a basic
list of one thousand essential
books representing the major areas
of religious thought which was
compiled with the help of leading
scholars throughout the country.
The growing collection includes
the latest popular works in relig-
ion, resource material, reference
books, pamphlets and books on the
problems of peace, intercultural
relations and marriage.
All students are welcome to
avail themselves of any of these
facilities.
As part of a program in response
to student desire for more relig-
ious knowledge, SRA each year
arranges a number of seminars
with faculty and staff leadership.
THESE SEMINARS have stud-
ied such subjects as theology, so-
ciology of religion and compara-
tivc religions. The groups usually
have from six to a dozen members
so there is plenty of chance for
discussion.
SRA also sponsors a Saturday
Luncheon Discussion each week
at which a group of students
meets to have lunch and to dis-
cuss current issues and the lat-
est books.
* * -
ANOTHER unique feature of the
religious program are the student
guilds which unite students of a
common faith in a variety of ac-
tivities.
These groups sponsor such
things as discussions, worship,
picnics, intramural athletics,
hikes, dances, social and politi-
cal action, Bible study, drama
and musical programs.
Most of these student groups
have professionally trained leaders
to serve as guides and counselors
to the students.
The activities of these guilds are
coordinated by SRA whose lead-
ership 1s drawn from them. Each
of the guilds has' its own full
schedule of activities .as well as
cooperating with SRA in many
all-campus projects.
The guilds also join together,
under the sponsorship of SRA, to
hold intercultural retreats to bring
together students of all cultures
and nationalities.

WELCOME-President and Mrs. Harlan H. Hatcher will welcome
students from 4 to 6 p.m. today at their home in another of a
scheduled series of open houses. An informal atmosphere, height-
ened by the singing of Christmas carols by those attending, will
prevail. The entire Hatcher home will be open for inspection,
and guides will be available to conduct students on tours.

Houses Will Provide
Gifts, Refreshments;
Sororities To Assist
Interfraternity Council will
sponsor its annual Christmas
party for Ann Arbor elementary
school children in the individual
fraternity houses from 1:30 to 3
p.m. Saturday.
Approximately 2,000 children
between kindergarten age and
sixth grade will spend the after-
noon as guests of the 39 social
fraternities. A certain number of
children will be assigned to each
fraternity, and will be entertain-
ed in the houses.
THEY WILL receive gifts, sing
carols, play games and have re-
freshments under the guidance of
the men and sorority women who
have been asked by the fraterni-
ties to give an assist.
A Santa Claus will pay a visit
to each house and distribute
g i f t s during the afternoon.
These gifts have been provided
by the Interfraternity Council.
All children in ten Ann Arbor
elementaryrschools, includingUni-
versity Elementary School, were
issued invitations to the party,
giving each child an opportunity
to attend.
LETTERS WERE sent by the
Council for the parents to sign,
and each signed letter is regard-
ed as a permission slip.
From the number of returns,
the children were assigned to
the fraternities by schools and
by grades, so that the children
will know each other at the par-
ty.
The largest fraternities will re-
ceive the greatest number of'
guests, some having as many as
70 or as few as 15 or 20.
The parents will deliver the
children to the houses and pick
them up after the party.
In former years the Council
sponsored a get-together for all
the children attending the indi-1
vidual parties in Hill Auditorium.
They were entertained with batan
twirling exhibitions, cheerleading
and clowns.
This will not be done this year,
because the afternoon became too
long for most of the children, re-
ports the IFC.
Chairman for the party is Rick
St. John, who will be assisted by
members of the IFC social com-
mittee.
