The address will be delivered by a na- tionally known celebrity. A Torch Marathon Race, fea- turing fraternity presidents, is also on the agenda for Monday evening. Panhellenic Workshops are scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, while the IFC Presidents' Dinner will be the featured event of that evening.

The winners of the annual event will appear dur- ing intermission at IFC Ball, to be held Friday night. Plans are still under discussion for the Saturday afternoon event designed to wind up the week's ac- tivities. By JANE FOWLER 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. - -^ .- , ci * 1 . 1 to J ,s, , ? ?hF Y }p' ':' I.;1'' d tf .f ' { '. b -z f SUBSCRIBERS DON'T GAMBLE- d Make a wise Investment!
