Ticket Plans
For Carnival
To Begin
Michigras Committee
To Start Campus Sale
After Spring Vacation
With Michigras less than a
month away, main plans of most
of the groups are nearing comple-
tion, but the work of ticket com-
mittee is just beginning.
Starting Monday, April 9, the
first day after vacation, Michigras
tickets may be purchased in dormi-
tories, fraternity and sorority
houses. This district pre-sale will
continue until Friday, April 20.
Admission tickets will also be
available to students during a
campus pre-sale to be held from
Monday, *April 16 to Friday, April
20.
i . 320,000 Tickets Ordered
Tickets co-chairmen, Joanne
Marsh and Bruce Boss say that
they are ordering 20,000 admission
tickets ,and 300,000 concession
tickets for the carnival weekend.
In charge of district pre-sales
are Herb Hedges and Maureen Is-
ay.
Gloria Anteby and Paul Vitz
chairmen of Campus pre-sale, need
students to act as sellers, Miss
Marsh remarked.
Volunteers Wear Hats
Those volunteering their ser-
vices, she added will be distin-
guished from their campus fel-
lows by a unique spring outfit.
Their garb, borrowed from the of-
ficial Michigras symbol, Michiclef,
will include !bow ties and straw
hats..
Distribution of concession tick-
ets on Friday and Saturday nights
falls to the lot of the personnel
committee headed by Al Schadel
and Joan Mason. They also need
t assistants and ask interested stu-
dents to contact them.
Counting and collecting com-
mittee co-chairmen, .,Ruth Plant
and.Joe Sherman plan to use a
scae to determine winning booths,
since counting by hand to see who
had taken the most tickets would
be an "almost impossible task."
Sororities' Histories
Show Many Traditions
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is
the second in a series of ar-
ticles dealing with the history
and traditions of sororities on
campus.)
By JANIE FOWLER
Largest of all sororities with 118
chapters, Chi Omega was organ-
ized in 1895 at Arkansas and began
in 1905 at the University.
The Chi O's have two awards,
one given to the outstanding wom-
an on campus in the field of social
studies, and their National Chi
Omega Award for the woman of
the year' In the past this has
been presented to such great wom-
en as Madame Chiang Kai-Shek.
Traditions within the house in-
clude naming a group of coeds,
who do the least, "the Failures,"
while the Chi-O-Daddy Award is
given to the fellow, dating a mem-
ber, who has contributed most to
the house.
Announce Engagements
Pinnings and engagements of
women are announced in'a special
ceremony where allthe sisters sit
in a circle in the darkened living
room, passing a lighted candle
round and round until it stops at
the lucky coed.
Called by "Who's Who," "the
strongest local in the United
States," Collegiate Sorosis was
founded in 1886 as a break away
from a national sorority.
Taking the Greek word for "ag-
gregation" as their name, the
group holds a meeting every third
year to which all alumnae return.
Soccer Game
The Sorosis coeds meet'members
of Kappa Alpha Theta in an an-
nual soccer game between halves
of the traditional Sigma Alpha
Epsilon-Phi Delta Theta Mud Bowl
game each Homecoming Saturday.
Other house customs include
candle light dinners with demi-
tasse afterwards and awards for
the sophomore and senior with
the highest grades.
The Drake Award is given to the
sister who has done the most on
campus and brought the most
happiness to the house.
Installation Night, Monday, Ap-
ril 16, Delta Delta Delta will award
the scholarships that it gives an-
nually, both locally and nationally,
as its service project.
Funds for the scholarships are
raised at the benefit bridge party
given for the campus, alums and
townspeople each spring.
With 99 chapters, Tri-Delt was
founded in 1884, coming here in
1894.
Traditional Banquet
Among sorority traditions is the
scholarship banquet held every
spring in the house to honor out-
standing grades and activities.
Gamma Phi Beta boasts the
distinction of being the first sor-
ority at the University to have
continually operated its chapter,
although it was the second on
campus, being founded here in
1882.
An interesting sidelight in the
organization's history tells how
the Michigan League was founded
'in 1889 by a group of Gamma
Phi's.
Philanthropic Projects
Begun nationally in 1874, at Sy-
racuse University, the sorority
owns and operates two camps for
underprivileged children in Colo-
rado and British Columbia.
The philanthropic project of the
local chapter is the support of a
European warsorphan under the
Foster Parent's Plan.
House traditions include a din-
ner where-actives serve their din-
ing room waiters and the waiters
crown a kitchen queen, and the an-
nual pledge-active football game.
Gamma Phi pinnings and en-
gagements are announced by ori-
ginal skits at dinner.

in casual comfort ..
