Michigras Meeting To Be Held
ALPHA OMICRON P1:
Sorority To Present Award
Wolverine Club Promotes Spirit
Colorful posters, leaflets and
scribbled chalk messages form the
visible evidences of preparation for
the Michigras mass meeting
scheduled for 7:15 p.m. Tuesday
in the Union Ballroom.
The behind-the-scenes plan-
ning, the headaches and the fun
t of organizing the big carnival
weekend do not show through the
signs.
The men and women who make
up the central committee are well
* aware that an event like Michi-
gras is a production involving
complete cooperation between the
13 committees.
Activities Vary
"Activities of different commit-
tees vary greatly but each plays
an important part in making the
weekend a success," Paula Strong,
general co-chairman of Michigras
remarked.
Students will be able to sign up
for any committee, at the mass
meeting where movies of the 1954
Michigras will be shown.
Those interested in the parade
will be concerned with securing
judges for floats and high school
bands. They will also make ar-
rangements for the parade route
as well as floats and special at-
tractions that will be a part of
the show.
Booth Committee
Yost field house will be territory
for, booth committee members.
Skill booths, show booths and re-
freshment stands will be under
their direction.
Campus organizations are invit-
ed to petition for space in the
field house, and prizes are award-
ed to the best booths.
The concessions committee will
be selling tickets for carnival rides.
Services will probably be render-
ed for half-hour shifts.

For Commur
Outstanding service to the Ann
Arbor community will win for a
campus sorority, the Alpha Omi-
cron Pi Community Service Award,
to be presented annually on In-
stallation Night.
Proposal for the award, to be
made in trophy form, was ac-
cepted at Thursday's Panhellenic
meeting. Deborah Townsend, Pan-
hel president, emphasized that the
trophy would not encourage "com-
petitive philanthropy."
"The award,"she added, "is ex-
pected to shift Panhellenic em-
phasis from the campus to the
community."
Trophy Emphasizes Service
Georgiana Davidson, president
of Alpha Omicron Pi, explained
that her sorority's proposal is in-
tended to emphasize service-"a
little known side of affiliated life."
A six-member committee has
been named to select the winning
sorority, on basis of summaries to
be submitted by March 15 of every
year. An AOPi alumna, having no
vote, will serve as chairman.
Voting members include the
Dean of Women, president of Pan-
hellenic, chairman of the League
Community Service Committee,
holder of the "outstanding citi-

collegiate billiards," Charlie Peter-
son will be at the Union from 9:30

day and Wednesday to give stud-
ents hints on the ivory sport.
Holder of the world's fancy shot,
American Red Ball and Balkline
titles, Peterson is appearing before
American colleges under the aus-
pices of the Association of Col-
lege Unions.
"Students who play billiards will
receive an education not supplied
by text books," Peterson said re-
cently. "They will learn to win
modestly, play carefully and lose
cheerfully.
Besides giving free lessons, the
champion who has earned the
nickname, "show-me-a-s h of - I -
can't-make," has planned a spec-
ial exhibition at 8:15 p.m. tomor-
row and Tuesday.

merce and an active member of
AOPi.
Philanthropic File Available
A file of possible local philan-
thropic worI will be made avail-
able to all sororities. National phil-
4nthropic projects, the award out-
line stated, will not be considered
for the award unless they are ap-
plied directly on a local level.
"Time and energy devoted to
community service,"- Miss David-
son pointed out, "will be the chief
considerations - financial contri-
butions will be considered only
when they represent substantial
thought and effort by the sorori-
ties meeting qualifications."

One of the less well known cam-
pus religious organizations is the
Baha'i group.
The student group of this re-
ligious faith holds weekly meet-
ings at 8 p.m. on Thursday at the
League while an open meeting for
both students and townspeople
will be held at 8 p.m. on Thurs-
day of this week at the home of
Mrs. Marie Esterer at 517 Oswego.
The open meeting will be held-
weekly on Wednesdays beginning
next week.
Baha'is in over 1400 localities
of the U. S. and in 240 countries
and territories of the world, from
widely varied religious, ethnic and
racial backgrounds, are joining in
the commemoration of the birth-
day of Baha'u'llah this month.
1Baha'u'llah, a Persian word
meaning the "glory of God", was
born on Nov. 12, 1817 in Teheran,
Iran.
In 1863 Baha'u'llah publically
proclaimed "His" mission as the
"Promised One" of all religions in
inaugurating a new and divine
civilization that would 'establish
world unity and peace.
Baha'u'llah stated that "the
earth is but one country and all
mankind its citizens". His convic-
tions had a prophetic conviction
that the oneness of mankind and
world peace are the will of God
for humanity in this age.
Baha'is point out that the com-
ing realization of this great hope
is evident both in the rapid growth
and accomplishments of their in-
fant faith and in the rise of moral
and social forces dedicated to
mankind's common welfare.
