PAGE EIGHT THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY; OCTOBER 25, 1958 HOUSE MOTHER SAYS: Men's Residene Halls Among Best in Country 1. DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN By DAVID TARR Men living in University Resi- dence Halls really do not have it as bad as they sometimes think - at least when compared with oth- er schools. Men's dormitories at the Uni- versity are among the finest, ac- cording to a women who has been with the system since it opened in 1939. She is Mrs. Virginia M. Harry- man, associate adviser of Taylor House in South Quadrangle and coordinator for the other asso- ciate advisers in that dormitory. "No system I've visited," she said, "compares to the one at Michigan. The educational staff is nill, physical accomodations are poorer and services fewer at \ other .schools." Mrs. Harryman began her work with the Residence Halls in Allen- Rumsey House in West Quad- rangle, the first part of the system. With the exception of one year during the war which she spent in Mexico, she has been an asso- ciate adviser ever since. Sees Changes In this time she has witnessed great changes in the Residence Hall system but will soon see one of the biggest - the development of coeducational living. "This prospect of coed living has my wholehearted approval," she said. "It definitely is a step forward. I feel it probably got its start with the conversion of Houses in East and West Quad- rangles for women during the housing crisis." Housing crises have led to in- creasing the size of Houses in the men's system to slightly over what Mrs. Harryman considers the ideal. "I feel," she commented, "that the ideal size of a House is 125. This is large enough for sports and social programs and yet small enough for integration." Commends Dorm Living But even so, the value of the dormitory in group living, in meeting varied ideas, in socializ- ing with people is not lost in the Houses today, she pointed out. One thing that does bother her. may be a result of the size of Houses. "I feel it's a shame to think that a party or an event in general is a failure just be- cause there are not too many people present. The important thing is what the event has pro- vided for those who are present. A key to success of the House is diversification according to this associate adviser, who lives in a House of 210 men, about 25 more than the average. She believes the ideal is some program that touches everybody in some way. Mrs. Harryman came to Taylor House when South Quadrangle opened in 1951. And with her came a small core of men to get the House started. Many Left Most of them are gone now but one of the things she enjoys most is having them, and other men who have lived in her House, come back after graduation. She recalls one time when a stu- dent returned for a visit after four years. "He said he hoped to HOME- COMING Display Materials PAINT- All kinds, oil, water, or rubber base. Any color you may need.

Veteran house mother find me just as I was when he was in school. Well, I guess I pleased. He said, 'You haven't changed a bit; in fact, you even have the same dress." She describes her job as co- ordinating associate adviser of the Quadrangle as one of a liasion officer between the Office of the Dean of Students, of handling the directives of the Resident Direc- tor of the Quadrangle and of working with the overall social calendar. One of the biggest differences she notices in South Quadrangle is the fewer number of women visitors in the men's lounges. "In West Quadrangle there was fre- quently to be found several wo- men visiting in the lounge. In South this is hardly ever found." She attributed this possibly to the structure of the building. Drugstore Modernization Prophesied The shopper of 1980 will no longer be able to frequent the lo- cal corner durg store as a social center for it is about to undergo a major revolution. Upon'entering the drugstore he will be carried by a moving con- veyor floor; he will be watched by a closed television circuit and he will be able to patronize such special departments as geriatrics. These prophecies were made by Dan Rennick, editor of the Am- erican Druggist, at the University of Michigan College of Pharma- cy's Annual Lecture on October 24. Prescription departments will be emphasized, and the drug sec- tion will be run on a self-service basis. Customers will be surveyed by the television and a floor- walker. , Moving floors will then trans- port the customer to the rear where he will be able to buy such articles as cosmetics and maga- zines as well as wheelchairs and other geriatric articles.

The schedule for the course is Mon., Wed., and Fri., from 4-6 p.m. during the weeks begin- ning Oct. 29 and Nov. 5, Room 2016, G&S offer '.Ruddigore' Bloodlessly By DONNA HANSON Though Gilbert and Sullivan's operettas were written for the mere enjoyment of the people, they always seemed to create some sort of national or international inci- dent in England. Such was the case with their comic operetta, "Ruddigore" which the G & S Society is presenting Nov. 8, 9 and 10 in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Since the original name for the operetta had been "Ruddygore," some deep thinking Britisher sub- stituted the world "bloody," which in the British form of English is not at all nice. After the austere British press finished commenting upon the "nasty" name, many "nice" people refused to attend the perform- ances. Thus, the operetta's title was changed to the less offending, "Ruddigore." Causes Furor Then, in the realm of interna- tional disputes, a ballad in the operetta referred to the French sailor as a "darned Mounseer" and a "Parley-voo." A French news- paperman didn't take too kindly toward these appelations, labeling them insults to the French Navy- and said so via newsprint. It was only after Gilbert and Sullivan again collaborated in writing a letter designed to subdue and pacify the newspaperman and his reading public, was the threat of war between the two countries entirely obliviated . . . for the time being, that is. Slow Start Because of, or even in spite of all of these trials and tribulations, "Ruddigore" was not an entire success at first. It wasn't until company in New York revived the 1920, when an American opera company in New York revived the operetta, that the production fin- ally got the popular attention it has today. Tickets for "Bloody---," or rather "Ruddigore" can be pur- chased in the Administration Bldg. Wyllie Elected To Board Post Cleland B. Wylie, managing editor of the University Relations Service, has been elected to the board of directors of the Ameri- can College Public Relations As- sociation.

The weather man says there is going to be a real chill in the air Saturday night as you meander over to the IM building to hear the hot licks of Count Basie. So, brother, unless you've got an extra heavy toga in the closet, you'd better check into the matter of a good- looking, good-feeling topcoat. ALL-SEASON TOPCOATS ARE RIGHT WEIGHT FOR MICHIGAN CLIMATE ... First of all, let it be understood that the topcoats at Wild's are much better looking than any style of toga. But even more important, they're more comfortable and more practical than most any topcoat or overcoat you can find. These coats are a special mid-weight that puts them in between the old thin topcoat, and the old bulky overcoat. In other words, they are light and comfortable enough to wear both in the Fall and Spring, and warm enough to wear without additional outer clothing through all but the severest winter weather. (And for those who are especially subect to pangs of cold, there are perfectly tailored zip-in wool linings for extra warmth.) YOU CAN WEAR A HARRIS TWEED WITH A HANDWOVEN HISTORY, . . There isn't any doubt that Harris Tweed of top quality is the real "iron cloth" of topcoats. But even among Harris Tweeds there are differences in quality. Like other genuine Scotch products, tweeds are made in small quantities by individual workers in their own homes. They are then selected and purchased by clothing manu- facturers' representatives. The fabric selected by Varsity- Town is of such superior workmanship, that each bolt is identified by a certificate bearing the name and address of the weaver. The Harris Tweed Topcoat you select at Wild's will be delivered with a facsimile of this certificate, so you not only will know that you are wearing top grade tweed, but if you desire, you can even correspond with the weaver (and we're told he will answer!) Every other detail of these coats is also carried out to perfection- leather buttons, slash pockets, short collar for use with or without a scarf, raglan sleeves for ease and comfort, nat- ural water repellency-are all yours for a modest $67.50. SOFT PILE COATS AND CAMEL HAIR ALSO AVAILABLE AT WILD'S For those who prefer the luxurious feeling of a soft pile type topcoat, or the always popular camel hair coat, Wild's also has the answer. The finest pile type coat by Society Brand is on hand in blue, brown, camel or light gray for $79.50, CHECK YOUR ACCESSORIES, TOO Whether you will be selecting a new topcoat, or wearing one that is in your closet now, remember the importance of accessories to give you that polished look. Check the new Flat Top hats in charcoal brown or charcoal gray- gloves of every leather and fabric in all colors to blend with your coat-scarves with authentic Scotch plaids or in Michigan colors. Drop into Wild's and then attend the Roman Holiday looking like the Emperor himself. Bldg. ext. 371.
