Union Arranges Full Schedule of Activities
Although students have been
making the rounds of classes and
toting their books and pencils for
only a day, plans for the semes-
ter's activities at the Union are al-
ready well underway.
Highlighting the social events
this term will be the ever-popular
campus night-spot, the Friday "Lit-
tle Club." Opening this weekend in
the North Lounge of the Union, the
informal gathering will be held al-
most every Friday throughout the
semester.
The checkered table cloths and
candles in whiskey bottle holders,
familiar to "Little Club" fans, will
again- be on hand to add to the
nightclub atmosphere.
Restful Atmosphere
Soft lights and sweet music from
a campus orchestra will add fur-
ther to the restful atmosphere,
whether students come for an en-
tire evening of dancing or drop in
after a movie or study date.
Cokes, potato cmps and pretzels
will be on hand during the evening.
Other refreshments will be avail-
able in the Union cafeteria.
The Little Club is open from 9
p.m. to midnight on Friday eve-
nings, with tickets available at the

Membership Dances
In keeping with the "dance every
Saturday night" policy, Union
members are planning a series of
Saturday night m emb e rs hi p
dan~ces.
The first dance is scheduled
from 9 p.m. to midnight Saturday.
Open to Union members and their
dates, the dance will feature the
music of Red Johnson and his or-
chestra.
An informal atmosphere prevails
at these dances, with heels and
casual dresses being standard uni-
form for the coeds.
Several specialty dances are also
scheduled during the year. Dates
and plans for these events have not
been announced yet, although they
are traditionally held near Thanks-
giving and Christmas, and just be-
fore final exams.
Bluebook Bail
One of these specialty events,
"Bluebook Ball," is designed to
"chase away those pre-exam jit-
ters." Outsized bluebooks, rulers
and pencils make up the decora-
tions with caricatures of students
and "profs" lining the halls.
Also popular with both the coeds
and the men are the frequent jazz
concerts, the free Sunday night
record dances, and the bridge tour-
naments.
Bi-weekly student-faculty coffee
hours held on Thursday afternoons
in the Terrace Room of the Union
help students and faculty mem-
bers get acquainted on an informal
level. The social hour is sponsored
by a different department each
week.
Student Trips
1t
;'
the frequent student trips to musi-
cal and stage shows presented in
Detroit and Toledo. Planned with
an eye on slim student budgets, the
trips cut expenses by using char-
tered buses and buying tickets in
blocks.
Monday, Oct. 4, is listed as the
date for the first student trip.
"Mrs. Patterson,"starring Eartha
Kitt, and playing at the Cass The-
atre, will be the destination. Tick-
et prices and information will be
announced later.
According to committee mem-
bers, "Mrs. Patterson" will open
on Broadway Dec. 1, after a pre-
miere showing in Detroit and a
stop in Cleveland. Miss Kitt will
perform her first dramatic role in
the production.

ery other Tuesday.
At Lane Hall, home of SRA, stu-

varied backgrounds and cultures,
while the atmosphere of the "red
brick building on State Street"
provides a background for the
many activities which take place
there.
All Students Invited
All students regardless of reli-
gious beliefs are invited to attend
Lane Hall activities and to make
use of the facilities offered there.

or Man?"
Petitioning
For Positions
Opens Today
'U' Coeds Evaluated
By League Committee
On Basis of Interest
Numerous positions on League
activities await women of all
classes.
Junior Girls' Play, the annual
event written, produced and direc-
ted by junior coeds for the entire
campus, has become a spring tra-
dition at the University since it
was first staged in 1904 in Barbour
Gym by six juniors.
Positions open are the central
chairman, dance chairman, assist-
ant dance, assistant properties,
scenery, posters and stunts chair-
man. Interested juniors may con-
tact General Chairman Alice
James for further information.
League House Council
The League House Council has
the following positions open on
their staff: League House Judici-
ary chairman, secretary and mem-
ber-at-large. The chairman must
be a junior or senior, while the
other two offices may be filled by
any coed living in a League House
this term.
Another place still vacant on the
League Council is assistant special
projects chairman, under Chair-
man Debbie Shavelson. This com-
mittee is responsible for the part
the League plays in Lydia Men-
delssdhn Theater on League Night
during Orientation Week. They also
assist at tryouts and in the pro-
duction of Gulantics, all-campus
talent show.
A complete record is kept of
each woman's activities during her
stay at the University. These rec-
ords are used as references by fu-
ture employers and honor societies.
It is the duty of the activity
chairman of each house on campus
to keep coeds informed as to when
to petition for certain positions
during the year.
Petitioning Process
To obtain any position in coed
activities on the University cam-
pus, women must write a petition
and be interviewed by the Inter-
viewing and Nominating commit-
tee of the League.
The League, center for all extra-
curricular activities at Michigan,
is divided into numerous branches
to provide for efficient governing.
The Interviewing and Nominating
Committee is one of t h e s e
branches, headed by Sally Lorber,
chairman.
She is assisted by secretary, Lois
Klein; junior members, Nancy
Jacquette, Barbara Watson and
Martha Wollbillick; and sopho-
more members, Carolyn Bahle, Er-
ica Erskine and Betty Jean Kafke.
Enthusiasm Counts
The committee accepts all peti-
tions and interviews all candidates
trying out for a League position.
They stress that previous experi-
ence in the League is not impor-
tant when petitioning, but each
coed's interest, enthusiasm and
plans for the position that count.
The interviewing committee has
offices in the League Undergradu-
ate office on the first floor. Sug-
gestions for writing petitions are
offered in the League Lowdown,
and the tentative scledule for the
deadline for various offices are
listed.
Oneof Mann's first moves at the
University 29 years ago, was one
of his smartest, Mrs. Corson re-
marked. Prompted by his love 'of
billiards, he joined the faculty club
where he garnered the respect of
the faculty.
"The instructors would notify
dad," she commented when the
fellows were not doing well in
their courses. He would then get
after them to improve- their stud-
ies. It helped a lot to see them
make grades," she smiled.
As a child, Mann would eat
lunch running to and from school
and then would walk miles to go
swimming. His daughter asserted
he hasn't stopped running yet, al-
though 69. "He couldn't stand to
sit," she said, "and still can't."
But, she said, he has the won-
derful ability to relax, He can fall
asleep instantly almost anywhere
and be up in a half hour raring to
go.
As a practicing Christian Scien-
tist, his religious faith has contrib-
uted greatly to his philosophy of
life. He has the feeling, Mrs. Cor-
son stated, that we should live to-
day, recover from the things that
are wrong, and go on- and do bet-
ter tomorrow. He serves God, she
remarked, by serving men and
boys. She concluded, "because he
has given himself unselfishly, his
life has been a success."
You know when he's around,
Mrs. Corson pointed out. It's not
unusual for him to yell half way
down the block.
Owns Summer Camps
During theh summer the Mann
family, including his wife, son,
Matt Mann II, one of his better
swimmers, daughter and wife's sis-
ter run a boys' and a girls' sum-
mer camp in Canada. This camp
serves as "a feeder" for Univer-
sity teams and has produced 39 All-
American swimmers? O n e of
Mann's most recent greats, Bumpy
Jones, started swimming for Mann
at the age of 9.

Matt Mann, a name synonymous
with swimming, will soon fade
from the sport page but never from
the minds of "his sons" and thou-
sands of others who have known
him.
His coaching record is popular
legend-16 conference champion-
ships, 13 national titles, United
States Olympic victory and a dual
mneet mark of 221 victories and 27
defeats. The public has followed
his achievements closely, but those
who know him best know he has
great qualities that never make
the headlines.
Retired after 29 years with
Michigan, Matt Mann is now devot-
ing full time to his summer camp
and plans to help conduct swim-
ming clinics throughout the world.
Mrs. Rose Mary Corson supplied
some of the less-publicized facts
about her famous father.
Aids Students
"If someone needed a room, dad
furnished it," Mrs. Corson re-
vealed. The Mann's have never
lived alone. Immediately after
their marriage, two swimmers
moved into the house. Since then,
at least one relative and some stu-
dents have been living with them
at any given time. During the de-
pression, the basement resembled
a miniatured dormitory, Mrs. Cor-
son recalled. The students stayed,
doing odd jobs around the house
until they could get on their own
feet. Then they would move out
and another batch would replace
them. Sunday dinner, she said, was
always a group affair.
"He's always willing to help any-
one at any time," she said. At the
college swimming clinics at Ft.
Lauderdale, Florida, she recalled,
he would coach fellows who would
later be out to beat his team. He
assisted anyone in the pool, no
matter how young or old, good or
poor, she said.
Coaching Skill
What qualities does Mann pos-
sess that make him such an out-
standing coach?
Mrs. Corson did not think long
to answer this question. "He has
an unerring instinct to do the
right thing at the right time," she
stated. "He will always tell a
swimmer when he does something
well. He does not see unkind things
in people; he just won't believe

That hectic round of mixers,1
health service physicals and apti-
tude tests known as Orientation
Week has become just a memory
in the minds of the nearly 5,000
freshmen and transfer students
who entered the University for
the first time this fall.
Although Orientation Week ran
smoothly with a minimum of mis-
haps this-year, there were several
tense moments such as the time
one new student lost his railroad
ticket and ID card ten minutes be-
fore he was to register.
Orientation leaders were not sur-
prised at anything after they dis-
coveredhthe freshmannurseiwho
went through registration without
classifying.
Early Preparations
Preparations f o r Orientation
Week began last spring when the
call for leaders was made. Inter-
ested men and women petitioned
and were then interviewed by
members of the League Council
and the Union staff. From over
600 students in the orientation
leader pool, Director of Orienta-
tion Ivan Parker chose 191 of the
anything bad about anyone. He
never holds a grudge because he
never has one. At the same time,
the boys try to live up to his ideals.
He is the kind of man they love
and they don't resent working for
him."
"Never let a punker beat you,"
was Mann's frequent cry to the
swimmers. Mann felt, Mrs. Cor-
son explained, that there is no ex-
cuse for a swimmer to be defeated
by someone not as good; by the
same token, he maintained it was
no disgrace to lose to someone
better.
If the swimmer performed as
good or better than his top effort
and still lost, Mann was satisfied,
she said, because the swimmer did
what was expected of him.
THAT HECTIC WEEK!
Weary, Happy Freshmen
End Orientation Program
best qualified to become leaders.
According to Parker, "The orien-
tation program could not be ear-
ried out without the fine coopera-
tion from thestudent group lead-
ers."
Orientation was first taken over
by the Union and League in 1947.
Before that time leaders had been
chosen without interviews on a
"first come first served" basis.
High Spots
High spots in the Orientation
week schedule were the all-fresh-
men and all-transfer assemblies
where the new students received a
welcome from President Hatcher
and the deans, of the various
schools and colleges. At this time
many of the students were intro-
duced for the first time to the
songs which have become tradition-
al at the University.
Orientation chairman for the
League was Sue Fricker who was
assisted by Joyce Perry and
Jackie Boggan.
Bob Blossey, chairman of Cam-
pus Affairs committee for the Un-
ion, was head of Men's orientation.
Blossey was assisted by Carl Yo-
shonis and Dave Shuirman.
