Sunning on the "hill," walks in
the arb, exhausting tennis match-
es, these are sure announcements
to University students that win-
ter's gone and spring is here.
Since the founding of the school
over 100 years ago, traditions-
some serious and really meaning-
ful, others lively and gay, have
been growing.
* * *
SENIOR NIGHT, which was
held March 18 this year, is the
time when senior women are giv-
en a sneak preview of the Junior
Girls' Play. Fun reigned as the
spectators heckled the actresses,
demanding repetition of lines or
entire scenes.
The graduating coeds who
were pinned exchanged their
fraternity badges for the more
comon variety known as safety
pins. Married women carried
candles, while engaged members
of the class sucked lemons. For
those unattached, a "wishing
well" was provided, into which
they dropped pennies to aid in
their quest for a man.
The Slide Rule Ball held on
March 20 provided an opportun-
ity for junior law students to
gain revenge over their rivals-
the engineers. Since 1929, the
"legal men" have invaded engi-
neering men's dance in an at-
tempt to carry off the main de-
coration, an eight-foot slide rule.
This year the attempt failed, so
the law students will have to find
other decorations to adorn their
own Crease Ball on May 30.
#* *
THE RIVALRY between the
two schools dates from Senior
Swing Out in the earliest days of
the University. Donning their
caps and gowns for the first time,
the graduating classes would as-
semble for commencement exer-
cises and then march in mass
through the campus.
The difficulty occurred when
law students refused to pass un-
der the engineering arch. In
1934, this custom of Swing Out
was abolished because it was
felt that the real significance of
it had been lost in the outbursts.
Attempts to revive the day have
proven unsuccessful.
Installation Night will be held
tonight when coeds will excitedly
throng to Rackham Lecture Hall
to hear who will lead them next
year in League, Assembly, Wo-
men's Athletic Association, and
Panhellenic offices.
* * *
FRESHMAN WOMEN will pro-
vide the campus with excitement
as they present their annual Froshe
Weekend Friday and Saturday. I
Divided into two teams - the
Maize and the Blue-the coeds
will vie for the prize offered for
the cleverest dance and floorshow.
Publicity stunts including every-
thing from a real live horse to a
landing in a space ship have kept
the diag in an uproar in the past.
This is the year when the bi-
ennial carnival, Michigras, in-
vades campus. Ferry Field will
become a midway of trick-rides
and rollicking booths April 23
and 24. Colorful floats will
highlight the parade led by the
Michigan Marching Band. This
spring the festivities will center
around "Life's a Book."
May Festival, which brings the
finest talent in the musical world
to the University of Michigan, us-
ually goes hand in hand with the
yearly Mother's Weekend when
sorority and fraternity houses are
opened to members' mothers.
* * *
ANOTHER tradition developed
by affiliated students is Greek
Week. This year it will be May 3-
7. Better interfraternity rela'tions
are promoted as the groups plan
their annual Interfraternity Coun
their annual Interfraternity
Council Ball. Everyone hums a gay
tune after attending-the IFC sing
where fraternities, cheered by
their sponsoring sorority, compete
for the honor of possessing a
handsome gold loving cup.
Not to be outdone by the men,
women tune up their voices for
the contest between wopen's
residences' choirs on Lantern
Night.
The oldest tradition on campus
rightfully belongs to the seniors.
Now in its eighty-fourth season,
Senior Ball has survived the ups
and downs that have caused many
old customs to be lost.
AMONG THOSE forgotten prac-
tices is Cane Day. For many years
it was the practice of "tottering"
seniors to carry canes with them
in the spring as an indication of
their dignity and age. Actually
this custom began in 1889 when
University students fashioned
canes fro mthe pickets of the
fence separating the campus from
a field of corn.
One tradition that freshmen
helped to defeat was the wear-
ing of little grey "pots" by all
first-year students. Each spring,
when the newcomers had earn-
ed the distinction of becoming
real students, Cap Day was held
in "Sleepy Hollow," a then gul-
ley behind University Hospital.
Here these signs of lowliness
were thrown on a huge fire and
the freshmen officially received
the "college spirit."
The spring of 1936 brought the
entrance of puffed-sleeves and
increased tuition to the University
of Michigan-an exhorbitant $55
for the School of Literature, Arts,
and the Sciences; the annual de-
bate between the Portia and the
Athena Literary Societies with a
silver loving cup going to the wo-
men who could out-talk the oth-
ers and the start of petitioning
for a new swimming pool, especi-
ally for women, which has just
completed construction.
