Tradition the only impetus that many of' e schools and other groups in e University need to plan other nces. T'his year will make the 59th oc-, sion that the University has inned a mass Homecoming pro- am to welcome back University imni. First Homecoming The big weekend was first ob-; wved in 1897 when alumni came ck with the varsity for a foot- L1 game. Supplementing another football ekend--the night following the sh with Iowa, I-Hop is held. onsored by the AssemblyrAsso- ,tion, it is usually the first all- mpus dance to be held in the 1l. Affiliated coeds take part in so- 1 activities with their annualJ nhel Ball. A coed-bid semi-for- d, the dance will be presented s year near the end of the foot- i season. Fraternity Men also get into the ;ial sphere as they present In- fraternity Ball, a climax toI eek Week celebrations in the4 ring. Greek Week activities, in-1 .ving mainly the affiliated stu-i its on campus, helps to main-i tain good inter-fraternity and in- ter-sorority relations. School-Sponsored Dances Filling out the dance program' between these affairs are the dances presented by the different schools. Utilizing the legend of the log- ging giant, Paul Bunyan, mem- bers of the School of Natural Re- sources hold Paul Bunyan Ball, usually in the Spring. In an atmosphere of pine trees, cones and needles, supplied by for- estry students, couples dressed in the. typical dress of the lumber man, blue jeans and plaid shirt, dance to music provided by a lo- cal campus band. Taking its place among num- erous pledge formals' and Christ- mas dances, is 'the lawyers fall contribution to the rounds of so- cial gayeties-Wig and, Robe Ball. Sponsored by the Barrister's, the Semi-formal dance is usually held right before Christmas vacation. Army Time Earlier in the semester, comes the time when full uniformed West Point cadets invade the Uni- versity, en masse. Their arrival not only marks the Michigan- Army football game, but also the presentation of a dance - ap- propriately entitled Military Ball. The dance is sponsored by the ROTC units on campus, with com- manders and reserve officers ex-, tended special invitation. Actually, anyone on campus may attend. In February, Galens, honorary medical fraternity, sponsors Cadu- ceus Ball. Deriving its name from the old Greek and Roman symbol, consisting of a rod entwined with a snake, the dance is given espe- iry .. t: {4 ;.{. .". :': n.

Dentist's Dance Dental students follow suit la- ter with Odonto Ball, a dance pre- sented by the juniors in honor of the senior class. Five years ago, Odonto Ball helped to celebrate the diamond jubilee of the founding of the University dental school. Men prepared an elaborate dec- orative scheme depicting the life of a tooth doctor, from pioneer days down to the modern facilities employed today. Later in the Spring semester, law students come into the social picture again with Crease Ball. The legend surrounding its ori- gin says that in the early days, the lot of young lawyers and law students was not, such a prosper- ous one. Forced to struggle for a living, their pocketbook allowed them to put a crease in their trousers only once a year. In honor of the occasion, a ball was held. Tradition says that engineers must crash each Crease Ball, drag [n a giant slide rule and challenge the legal brains to find where they have later hidden it. The rivalry between the schools developed on campus not too many years ago when law classrooms were located in the old Haven Hall. Lawyers had annoyed the engi- neers by parking a car in the mid- dle of the Engineering Arch and letting the air out of the tires. To reciprocate, the men with the slide rules formed a human chain across the arch to prevent the lawyers from reaching their class- rooms. Slide Rule Bal Slide Rule Ball, coming some- times before and sometimes after the Crease Ball, highlights a Spring weekend of festivities for, the engineers. The International Center at the University is usually a busy place but it receives the most attention during the International Week, held near the end of the Spring semester. Climaxing a week of exhibits from the native lands of the Uni- versity's many students from oth- er countries, fashion shows, lec- tures and parties is the Interna- tional Ball. - The formal dance is highlighted by dance routines from all ov the world. Another dance with an inte national flavor is the wnnu Monte Carlo Ball. One of the fe big costume dances,'it allows coe and their dates to spend an even ing in a realistic, gambling a mosphere. After playing su games as roulette, couples lea the dance with their pockets fu of play money.
