Subjects covered on the Wo- men's Page include all-campus dances, the work of the many large organizations as the League and Union, and other big events on campus as Michi- gras and Lantern Night. Plans for theatre trips to De- troit are also in the making. Union officials are presently work- ing out arrangements with theatre managers. An art contest, as well as speech and photo contests are also in- cluded on the agenda. Hospital Talent Show High on the calendar is the hos- pital talent show presented in co- operation with the League. "We received many letters of apprecia- tion after last year's show," Blossey remarked. The executive secretary added that he hopes to expand this year's show, calling it not only "beneficial to the hospitals them- selves, but also ,a means of strengthening good community re- lations." Ever popular with both coeds and men are jazz concerts, free Sunday nig'ht record dances and bridge tourniaments. Coffee Hours Bi-weekly student-faculty cof- fee hours will be started in a few' weeks in the terrace room of the Union. Designed to help students and faculty members get together on an informal basis, the social hour is sponsored by a different department each week. A new attraction will be the course in parliamentary procedure at which experts in this field will preside. Further information on the new course will be released later. In connection with the office of admissions. Union officials have recently taken over the Speakers' Bureau, formerly handled by hon- oraries. I . .

New System Introduced Beginning this year a new sys- tem has been introduced in soror- ity rushing. This fall IBM ma- chines will be used to tabulate the, invitations and bids, thereby sav- ing rushing officials and counselors tedious hours of tabulating. Also new in the rushing program was the registration of students before final examinations last semester and the registration of transfers before September 7. All entering transfer and fresh- men coeds were sent information about rushing during the summer. This provides students and par- ents an opportunity to discuss rushing and the various sororities before arriving on campus. When questions arose regarding any phase of rushing or sorority life parents. and students were able to write to the League Under- graduate Offices. League Provides Tutoring Service For All Students One of the many services which the League, in cooperation with the Men's Union, offers all stu- dents is tutoring. The League Merit-Tutorial Com- mittee aids students who seek aca- demic help by providing them with the name and phone number of a tutor specializing in their particu- lar subject. The tutor and student make their own arrangements for the time and place of tutoring. Hour- ly rates are charged with the fee of $1 -an hour for every subject/ except physics and chemistry. They are $2 an hour. In order to be a tutor, a student must have received a "B" in a subject which is in his major field or an "A" in any other course. All those students wishing to act as tutors may start signing up immediately in the League Under- graduate Office. As soon as classes begin, any- one who would like to make use of the tutoring service may leave their name in the Undergrad Of- fice. The Committee also keeps a card file containing information on all activities of every undergraduate woman. Mary Lou Kierdorf is the chair- man of the Committee. 4 Mademoiselle Ifa19iihe Picks Them #(~ti W/bfe/ Has Them'% Those yummy campus fashions for fall . . . you saw them in Mademoiselle Maga- zine-you'll find them exclusively at MARTI WALKER, the campus fashion shop at U. of M.
