Advises Activities
For Spare Time
The Michigan League, as the nu-
cleus for women's extra curricular
activities, has an amiable Social
Director, Miss Ethel McCormick,
better known to University coeds
as "Miss Mac."
"Miss Mac" is supervisor of
League activities and is always
willing to offer guidance and to
help women students. Freshmen
and transfer students who wish to
get into the spirit of University
life may become acquainted with
League activities and facilities by
meeting her.
She feels that by becoming ac-
qu'ainted with the League's facili-
ties and the opportunities it offers
women is one of the best ways for
coeds to get started in extra curric-
ular activities.
League Night Importance
League Night, wnich will take
place during orientation week is a
good chance for women to get
started in the activities. "Miss
Mac" recommends that all women
attend this function.
On-this night all freshmen wo-
men will draw for teams for Frosh
Weekend, which is the main activi-
ty for first-year coeds. It has
become a tradition that the Maize
and Blue teams each offer a dance
and floorshow.
Although this event takes place
in the spring, second-semester
freshmen may also participate in
it.

One of the largest jobs this
group has is publishing the League
Lowdown, which all women receive
upon entering the University.
Besides the League Lowdown,
this committee works in conjunc-
tion with the Union Public Rela-
tions Committee in publishing the
Union-League Calendar. This lists

classes. As "Miss Mac" says, "It's a
good way to meet men."
Community Service Groups
The League is known for its par-
ticipation in community activities.
Freshmen women desiring to do
civic work will probably want to
join the service group. Their work
consists of volunteer work in the
University Hospital or Speech
Clinic.
"Miss Mac", realizing that ac-
tivities are varied and "appealing,"
advises all women to be sure and
start studying immediately, so they
won't be caught short at the end of
the semester."
If coeds come up against some
trouble in their studies, the League
offers among its services the Merit-
Tutorial Committee.

League President Active
In Numerous Functions,
19 groups, each under the leader-
ship of a rushing counselor.
These counselors, one from
each sorority, have disaffiliated
themselves temporarily from their
houses in order that they may im-
partially advise and aid rushees.
To be eligible to go through
rushing, a woman must have reg-
istered her name with Panhel-
lenic Association before Wednes-
day, Sept. 7. This may be done by
coming or writing to the Associ-
ation at the League Undergradu-
ate Office of the University.
Everyone Welcome
Anyone is welcome to rush but
upperclassmen must have at least
a "C" average.
During the rushing period from
Saturday, Sept. 24, through Sun-
day, Oct. 9, contact rules are in
force. This means that there shall
be no contact between affiliated
and independent women unless
members of two houses are pres-
ent, and that when affiliated
coeds meet rushees on campus,
ccnversation shall be limited to a
friendly "hello."
The women rushing this fall
will visit, every house on campus
during the mixers from Saturday
through Tuesday, Sept. 24 to 27.
They will be taken from sorority
to sorority by their rushing coun-
selor and should dress informally
in bobby-socks and school clothes.
After picking up their invita-
tions from their counselors, rush-
ees will visit six houses for the
second set of parties. Dress Sill
again be informal.
To See Houses
The first two days of October
will see the coeds going to four
houses for the third set of get-to-
gethers. Wearing hose and heels
with suits or woolen dresses, rush-
ees will have an opportunity to go
through the houses.
The fourth set parties, running
from Monday through Wednesday,
Oct. 3 to 5, are picnics. Wearing
slacks or bermuda shorts, rushees
will be treated to informal meals.
Each woman may attend two
"final desserts" which provide the
last opportunity for affiliates and
rushees to become acquainted be-
fore the houses bid for and rush-
ees make their choices. Attire is
street-length "dressy" dresses and
heels.
Junior Panhel
Pledges become members of
Junior Panhellenic Association,
and each pledge class elects a
delegate to attend meetings.
It is this group which is in
charge of such projects as the
traditional Help Week at the Uni-
versity Fresh Air Camp for un-
derprivileged children.
In conjunction with the Junior
Interfraternity Council, Junior
Panhel also mans Tag Day buck-
ets, to raise money for the Camp.
Presidents Legislate
The senior Panhellenic Asoci-
ation sends house presidents to
the board of delegates or legis-
lating assembly.
The executive board of Panhel,
consisting of the nine officers, di-
rects the energy of the sororities
into constructive channels.
This includes making Christ-
mas and Easter favors for shut-in
persons, hostessing and entertain-
ing at hospitals, aiding with cam-
pus elections and helping to raise
funds for scholarships and grants.
Annually, Panhel Ball provides
affiliated women with an oppor-
tunity to invite dates and "foot
the bill" for the formal dance.

As the center of woman's student
governement, the Women's League
offers the coeds a chance to gain
experience in organization and an
opportunity to serve the University
community.
Through the president the varied
activities carried on by the Michi-
gan League are coordinated.
Hazel Frank, as the 1955-56
League President, serves as chair-
man of the League Council, ex-
officio vice-president of the Board
of Governors of the League, ex-
officio member of the Student
Government Council and as a
member of the Joint Judiciary In-
terviewing Board.
President's Duties
She also presides at the Women's
Senate meetings, and makes Lea-
gue appointments 'subject to ap-
proval of the Women's Senate. She
is an ex-officio member of the
Student Affairs Committee and
serves on the Ethel McCormick
Scholarship Committee.
Miss Frank lived in an all fresh-
man dormitory, Prescott House, in
East Quadrangle, and became its
president during her second semes-
ter. This was the beginning of a
very active career in campus ac-
tivities.
She served on Prescott House's
Judiciary Council and also was a
member of Student Legislature,
East Quad Council and Inter-
House Council. Serving on the Stu-
dent Government Council Steering
Committee and the Student Activi-
ties Center Committee are among
her other interests.
Assembly Head
During her sophomore year at
the University Miss Frank became
interested in Assembly Association,
and feeling that a great deal could
be done there, she ran for presi-
dent. She was elected and served
in this capacity during her junior
year.
Then, being encouraged to do
so, she ran for the League presi-
dency. "It's so hard to get out
of the rat race," Miss Frank com-
mented.
"This coming year the League
will put on the Homecoming Dance
in cooperation with the Union,
orientate American Friends (for-
eign women students), and try to
work out a system for women's
hours," Miss Frank said.
A resident of New York, Miss
Frank is interested in radio and
television production work as a
future career.
