Rifle Club...
The Women's Athletic Associa-
tion has announced the opening of
petitioning for the position of
Rifle Club manager.
Petitions which may be picked
up at Barbour Gym are due Oct.
2. The candidates will be inter-
viewed Oct. 5 and 6 at the Women's
Athletic Building.
The WAA Board is especially
anxious to select a competent
manager at this time so that the
Rifle Club will get off to a good
start at its first meeting Oct. 13.
In existence at the University
since 1934, the Rifle Club once was
connected with the ROTC, and of-
ficers taught the members in Army
style.
During the past few years the
club has had its range open four
nights a week at the WAB. Be-
cause of limited space in the
building, each member chooses a
night and practices from 7 to 9
p.m.
For the coming year, Judith
Hirschfield, Rifle Club Manager
who transferred schools, had plan-
ned postal matches with women's
teams from other schools, shoulder
to shoulder matches with the men's
rifle team and interclub competi-
tion.
However the club's actual pro-.
gram will be decided by the new
manager and the members them-
selves at their first meeting.

training await all coeds who

quire poise and are .able to make

Inter-House Council Aims
At QuadrangleCooperation

By RITA GEDROVICS
Since last spring the Inter-
House Council has been operating
under its own constitution as an
acknowledged organization on
campus.
Consisting of representatives
from each men's residence in the
quadrangles as well as the three
womens residences, Tyler, Prescott,
and Chicago houses, the IHC is the
student governing body for inde-
pendent residence halls.
Operating under rules similar
to those of the Women's Assem-
bly Association and Student Leg-
islature, the council strives for
co-operation among the housing
units and also works for a closer
relationship between the men's
residences and Assembly.
At the present time, the IHC is
engaged in working together with
Assembly in the sponsoring of I-
Hop. As one of its projects for the
year, the council also wants to
establish a residence hall confer-
ence at the University similar to
the conferences of the Big Ten.
The council also wants to pub-
lish a residence hall booklet for
men. There is already a booklet of
regulations issued by assembly for
women. This new project would
make a similar one consisting of
rules and regulations for men.
In January the IHC also plans
to sponsor another magic show
with Polgar as guest.
In order to have all men's acti-
vities together, the council is at
the present working on a project
to get an office in the Union.
Originally the council started
by just a few representatives from
the East and West Quadrangles
getting together and informally
discussing their problems. After
South Quad joined, the council
consisted of representatives from
the three quad councils.
Two years ago a considerable
need for some concrete rules was
felt, therefore articles of organ-
ization were set up. The organi-
zation operated under these
articles for about' a year and a
half. Finally last spring a con-
stitution was drawn up and rati-
fled.
At the present, the IHC ha§ its
Cabinet as one of the executive
divisions. It consists of the Presi-
dent, Roger Kidsten, and the exec-
utive vice-president, Tom Wilcox.
In addition there are also three
vice-presidents in the cabinet who
are the presidents of the councils'
in each quadrangle. Jack Kelsey
represents South Quad, Gregory
Smith is the vice-president fromi
West Quad, and Stanley Levy is
the East Quad member of cabinet.
A treasurer and secretary are
also a part of the cabinet. Ron-
ald Dalton is the temporary
treasurer and also publicity di-
rector. Permanent secretary and
treasurer are to be elected next
week.
Consisting of two representa-
tives from each house, including
women's residences, a council is al-
so made up as part of the IHC.
One of these representatives must
also be on the quad council to
keep the two organizations in
close contact.
This year a permanent judiciary
council is also to be set up as part
of the IHC. This council is to con-
sist of three men who will control
the activities of all quad judiciar-
ies.
According to Roger Kidston, the
main purpose of the IHC is to
make the residence halls of the
quadrangles better places to live
in. It also has one of its goals to
work for more active houses in
sports as well as better co-recrea-
tional projects with Assembly.
However, if all of these objec-
tives fail, Kidston says that the
IHC will still be important because
it will give students experience in
parliamentary procedure and gov-
ernment.

library are the listening rooms
down the hall which are operated
from the library. These rooms will
have the same hours as the library'
and are open to both men and wo-
men students.
Boasting an outstanding collec-
tion of LP classical music, includ-
ing operas, ballets and Shakespear-
ean plays, the listening rooms will
be a great boon to music literature
students since the collection con-
tains most of the records used in
the courses.
Lists of the records available will
be posted in the hall and. students
may write their selections on a
piece of paper, hand it to the li-,
brarian and then go to one of the
listening rooms.
The librarian will play the record
and the music will be piped into
the room where the student can
relax in a comfortable chair and
listen.

in a traditional style, one with rose
carpets and drapes and gray walls,

which contributed proceeds from
their Junior Girls' Play, the pres-
ent junior class proceeds from
Frosh Weekend and by the senior
class after their Sophomore Cab-
aret.
