Ann Arbor is filled with the
type of entertainment features
that only a college-community can
offer.
Lectures, concerts, plays and
fine movies are available in abun-
dance and many are provided free
of charge.
Sports, dances and house par-
ties fill out the calendar for re-
creation seeking students, fresh
from a long session with the books.
Welcome Mat
Most living groups, whether
they be fraternities, sororities,
co-op houses, or dormitory units,
throw out the welcome mat with
parties at least every month. Dur-
ing the football season, student
parties are more plentiful.
Nearly every week some large
campus organization throws a
dance for any terpsichorial mind-
ed students. Traditional highlight
of the year is the J-Hop, a formal
dance with big name orchestras,
held between semesters.
For the less ambitious, there are
five movie houses in the city which
provide every type of cinematic
offering. Aside from the two com-
mercial theaters on the campus,
the Student Legislature operates
a Cinema Guild which shows eith-
er foreign films or revivals of well
known Hollywood movies. It op-
pictures, while another offers ex-
cellent foreign and art movies.
Drama flourishes throughout the
year. The speech department pro-
duces student-acted plays regu-
larily and in co-operation with the
music school, puts on two student-
sung operas a year. In the spring
the Ann Arbor Drama Season
brings Broadway stars to campus
to act in hit plays.
Student Shows
Added to these are the var-
ious student sponsored shows such
as the Junior Girls Play, the all-
male Union Opera, Student Play-
ers productions, Gilbert and Sul-
livan operas and dramas spon-
sored by the Inter-Arts Union.
Music minded students can have
a field day choosing which con-
certs to attend. Besides the con-
certs provided by the University
Musical Society-including the
Choral Union Series, the Extra-
Concert Series, The Messiah, the
Chamber Music Festival and the
May Festival - there are frequent
recitals by faculty and students of
the School of Music. The Univer-
sity's own Stanley Quartet plays a
regular series of works from the

For those loaded with identifi-
cation, there are several bars
downtown where you can get
beer and wine, but Washtenaw
County is dry (no liquor by the
glass) so you have to adjust your
taste to beer.
If you tire of all these offerings,
there's always the Arboretum, if
you have a girl. The Arboretum,
University-owned, is some sever-
al hundred acres of wooded hills,
absolutely unlit.
Senior Board

One of the' less publicized but
I more active groups on campus is
Senior Board.
Made up of the officers of all
the colleges' senior classes, Sen-

by Bob Dombrowski, '55. Other of-

NIGHT LIFE-Although Ann Arbor offers varied and sundry at-
tractions, the consistent activity for many week nights and. those
few weekends before finals centers around the campus study balls,
where things are quieter, dorm quiet hours not withstanding.
Mason Hall offers one of the newest study rooms on campus with
chairs so comfortable that many use it as a nap room between
classes. Muted lights and pastel colors make it an extremely
restful place.
Literary College Conferences

;-Nm-
Students in the literary college
who want to air their gripes-or
simply to exchange views one how
to improve University education-
have an opportunity several times
a year when a literary college con-
ference is held.
At these conferences, directed
by the literary college steering
committee, students and faculty
members discuss such common
problems as grading, a better
school calendar and bettering the
curriculum.
The Steering committee, made
up of students and faculty mem-
bers, also considers such topics as
initiating the honor system in
examinations. The aim of the
group is to correlate college activ-
ities with student interests.
