Students'Nd by Dean
By JANE FOWLER
Recognizing that education is an
expensive process, the University
of Michigan has arranged scholar-
ships, loans and part time em-
ployment to aid students in meet-
ing their financial problems.
For students entering the Uni-
versity for the first time, assistance
is offered in the form of Regents-
Alumni Scholarships to seniors
graduating from Michigan high
schools and Michigan Public Jun-
ior College Scholarships. Men and
women may also often receive
grants sponsored by local alumni
groups.
Upperclassmen are elegible for
numerous scholarships in varying
amounts, some of which are de-
signated for students enrolled in
specific schools. Called "an out-
right payment of money by the
University to a student who has
been selected for such aid," these
are awarded on the basis of schol-
astic ability, character and need.
Scholarships Available
There are 93 scholarships made
available throughout the University
in general.
Loans are made from funds set
aside for aiding worthy students.
Detailed information concerning
the obtaining and repayment of
these loans is included in the Uni-
versity publication on student loan
funds.
The Dean of Women's office
makes available a list of jobs open
and will help coeds find employ-
ment during the school y e a r.
Through this office applications for
women are handled. As a special
feature, a list of potential baby-
sitters is kept there.
Campus Positions
Positions are available at the
Michigan League, the Michigan
Union, General Library, Univer-
sity Hospital and in women's re-
sidence halls. Off campus openings
downtown stores and working as
hospital aides.
Some women do light housework
or care for children in return for
complete room and board. All such
homes off-campus are approved by
the Dean of Women's office.
Coeds who would like to be em-
ployed are urged to contact the
Dean of Women as soon as pos-
sible for there are a great number
of women who seek work.
Office Work
Students intersted in office work
should go to the Personnel Office1
in the Administration Building
which handles University jobs in-
cluding typing and clerical work.
For employment in residence
halls, either at the switchboards
or helping in the dining rooms,
it is best to apply directly to the
dormitory office or dietitian.
It is recommended that first
semester freshmen do not attempt
to work because of the adjustments
to be made in scholastic and so-
cial life. However, if it is abso-
lutely essential that they do so,
freshmen women are limited to
ten hours of work per week.
Upperclassmen m a y b e em-
ployed up to 21 hours per week
although it is suggested that they
plan on earning no more than one
half of their. college expenses.
If financial difficulties should
arise while at the University, coeds
are advised to consult with the
Dean of Women, Deborah Bacon,
at her office in the Administration
Building.

Outstanding Collection
Of Classical Records
Featured for Students
Since their dedication in Janu-
ary the Barbara Little music lis-
tening rooms in the League have
become a popular place for study-
ing, relaxing and listening.
The three soundproof listening
rooms, located on the third floor
of the League across from the
League Library, are decorated in
attractive color schemes all in a
modern style with harmonizing
furniture and draperies.
Each room has its own distinc-
tive color scheme and furnishings.
Room "A" is decorated in quiet
muted tones of brown, beige and
lime. Room "B", done in colors of
black, grey and shocking pink,
features ultra-modern furniture.
Restful shades of rose, grey and
green are found in Room "C."
Outstanding Collection
For those students, both men and
women, who wish to listen to the
records of their choice the listen-
ing rooms offer an outstanding
collection of L.P. classical music.
The student is able to choose
from a wide selection of operas,
ballets, Shakespearean plays and
poetry.
Since the collection contains
most of the records used in the
music literature courses, Room "C"
has been set aside for the exclu-
sive use of music literature stu-
dents. @
Lists of available records are
posted in the hall outside the rooms.
Students wishing to hear specific
records simply ask the League
Librarian to play them on the
central turntable and have the
music piped into a particular room.
Dedication
The listening rooms are dedicat-
ed to the memory of the late Bar-
bara J. Little who died in an auto-
mobile accident in the summer of
1951 following her graduation.

en's Judiciary Council in 1950-51,

lishment of the Joint Judiciary
Council. She was also on the exe-
cutive board of the Women's Sen-
ate, Women's League Council,Stu-
dent Affairs Committee, Board of
Representatives, Scroll and Panhel-
lenic Rushing Chairman in 1949-50.
Funds for the soundproofing,
painting, draperies, rugs, lamps
and furniture of the listening rooms
were obtained from the League
activities of 1952 and 1953 such as
Frosh Weekend, Sophomore Caba-
ret, Junior Girls' Play, Senior Sup-
per and the Summer Session.
Local Contribution
These funds were supplemented
by special contributions from in-
dividuals and a $200 gift from Del-
ta Delta Delta, of which Miss Lit-
tle was an alumna, for purchasing
the furniture in Room "B." A pic-
ture and memoriam of Miss Little
also appear in this room.

Nucleus of women's extra-curri-
cular activities on campus, the
Michigan League provides many
outlets for coeds' interests and of-
fers opportunities to meet people
and make new friends.
Freshmen and transfer students
who want to get into the spirit of
campus life may get acquainted
with the League and its functions
by meeting the Social Director,
Miss Ethel McCormick.
Better known as "Miss Mac,"
she is supervisor of the League
activities and is always willing to
offer guidance and to help women
students. According to many of the
projects' chairmen, "We couldn't
get along without 'Miss Mac.' "
League Facilities
In her opinion, the best way to
get started is to get to know all
the League facilities.
The Round-Up Room and Rum-
us Room are the places to go for
relaxation with a jukebox, dance
floor, television set and ping-pong
table, says "Miss Mac."
The library and listening rooms
and study hall provde quiet places
for reading or just every-day study-
ing. "Miss Mac" advises all wom-
en to come to League Night, which
will take place during orientation
week and get a start in the acti-
vities.
On that night all freshmen wom-
en will draw for teams for Frosh
Weekend, which is the main event
for first-year women. As it has be-
come a tradition, the Maize and
Blue teams each present a dance
and floorshow, which is judged on
decorations, originality, program
design and number of tickets"sold.
Although the shows take place
in the spring, second-semester
freshmen may also participate in
the drawing for teams.
Floorshows
The two teams from last year
will each present their floorshow
on League Night. Other skits will
also be given and coeds will have
a chance to tour the building.
After that, the women may start
working on committees. The first
important work they can partici-
pate in, according to "Miss Mac,"
is to help with the decoration for
I-Hop, the first all-campus fall
dance, sponsored by Assembly As-
sociation, one of the many League
groups.
The League dance classes are
another important function of the
League. Coeds may sign up to be
hostesses in couples classes or just
learn new steps in' the singles
classes. Also as "Miss Mac". says,'
"It's a good way to meet men."
Glee Club
Music-minded women may join
the Women's Glee Club, an asso-
ciated League activity. The pro-
gram of the club includes concerts,
radio shows and tours.
The League is also known for
its community .ctivities. All fresh-
men women who like to do civic
work, will probably want to join
the service group. The work of
these coeds usually consists of vol-
unteer work in the University Hos-
pital or speech cinic.
Although the activities are varied
and "very appealing," "Miss Mac"
advises all women to "be sure and
start studying immediately, so they
won't be caught short at the end
of the semester."
Those coeds who find trouble in
their studies, however, may seek
For women who possess interest
in writing, "Miss Mac" advises
all those freshmen interested
to start as tryouts on the Wom-
en's Staff of The Daily. The "staff-
ers" keep in close touch with all
social events and League activities
as well as cover other campus or-
ganization and events, she said.
"Make sure you go to meet Pres-
ident and Mrs. Hatcher and their
family at the teas," suggested
"Miss Mac" to incoming students.
Other important events which
students may attend during the
year are the concert and lecture
series on campus. Tickets to these
and many special programs, fea-
turing famous persons, may be pur-
chased at the beginning a n d
throughout the semester. Accord-
ing to "Miss Mac," these series
are "the best in the country."
The Social Director likes to see
coeds who are interested in extra=
curricular activities and. feele
that it is important for everyone
to take advantage of all opportun-
ities to go out for activities of
their choosing.
However, she advises, "don't
take on too much. After all, studies
should come first and many have
been known to fail in courses be-
cause they were too absorbed in
other activities.
All freshmen women will be is-
sued a little booklet, the League
Lowdown, which will provide any
information needed about t h e
League, its associated organizations
and their activites.
