To Freshmen
Students May Earn Rank
Of Reserve Officer By
Taking FillTraining
University courses in military sci-
ence, leading to a second lieutenancy
in the United States Army, can be
taken by students in conjunction with
the program of the Michigan unit of
the Reserve Officers Training Corps.
Freshmen who wish to gain their
officer standing in the R.O.T.C. must
enroll the first semester they are in
attendance at the University. Twelve
hour sof military training are ollowed
toward graduation, credit being given
at the rate of one hour each semester
for the first two years and two hours
each semester for the last two years.
The complete training takes eight se-
mesters, or four years.
The organization of the unit fol-
lows regular military tables of or-
ganization, with the exception that
most divisions of the regiment are
smaller than normal. When a stu-
dent first enrolls he is issued the r'eg-
ular basic uniform and becomes a
private, continuing in this rank until
he has completed one full year of
instruction. The second-year students
are promoted to the rank of corporal,
according to their past records.
During the second two years of the
course students receive pay from the
government, as well as during the
time they are at summer camp - the
final requisite for eligibility for a
commission.
Three branches of the service are
offered students: Infantry, ordnance
and signal corps. As a general rule,
students in the College of Literature,
Science 4nd the Arts, enroll in the
infantry, those in the engineering
college in the signal corps, and those
heading toward business administra-
tion in the ordnance department.
There is no rule on this, however, all
cadets being given their choice.
Union Registration
Begi s Innediately
Freshman students have the oppor-
tunity of making use of the Union
facilities almost as soon as they reach
Ann Arbor since registration of new
students in the Union begins early
in, Freshman Week.
A committee of the Union will be
stationed in the student offices, and
freshmen may take their tuition re-
ceipts to these committeemen as soon
as they have completed registration.
Another service of the Union is to
compile a temporary student directory
which may be used to locate students
until the publication of the regular
directory.

After the first formal dance open-

The dances are concluded with the
spring formals of the sorority and
fraternity houses. The Senior Ball
is the last dance of the year, coming
just before commencement. Key
Dance, given for the first time last
spring, is sponsored by the honor so-
cieties on campus.
Banquets are also on the round of
social events on campus. Two large
dinners are held during the year at
the League. The first of these is the
Panhellenic Banquet held in the fall.
All sororities are invited, and mem-
bers of the Panhellenic Council are
introduced.
The Installation Banquet in the
spring is the occasion when new of-
ficers of the League take over their
duties. Reports on League activities
for the year are given scholarships
are awarded, and both Mortar Board
and Senior Society tap their new
members at this dinner. Independent
women as well as sorority members
attend.
Special effort is made each year
to entertain the foreign students.
Each month every sorority will en-
tertain two foreign students. At
Christmas time, parties are planned
for those who cannot travel home.
The League has a committee for the
foreign students and has planned a
larger and more varied program for
them this year.
An old tradition established here is
that women cannot enter the front
door of the Union. George, the door-
keeper there, sees that the tradition
is enforced.

fring Host Of
Music Talent
Famous and distinguished soloists
internationally renowned musical or-
ganizations, and purely amateur
choral units of University students
all combine talents in Ann Arbor each
spring in the annual May Festival,
one of the outstanding music festi-
vals in the United States.
For 42 years, the May Festival has
continually attracted the "cream"
of America's musical personnel for
its concert programs.
Aonther great program is now be-
ing assembled for the 1937 festival,
one which is expected to surpass even
the splendor and magnitude of its 43
predecessors.
Festival concerts present music-go-
ers with an opportunity to hear vocal
and instrumental soloists, an out-
standing symphony orchestra, choral
works of classic value, and each sea-
son a world premiere of some orches-
tral or choral composition.

has been featured as the pianist with year, with programs held weekly or
Sammy Kay's orchestra this summer.
Football season brings on a deluge
of teas and dances at the sorority and
fraternity houses.
Other teas are also given during
the year. Once a month the League
Social Committee sponsors an Under-
graduate tea. The Ruthven teas are
given the first two Wednesdays of
every month. The last tea is given in
May in honor of Homecoming week-
end, when a special effort is made to
get the graduates together.
Sororities and fraternities give
their winter formals just before the
Christmas vacation, and immediate-
even more often, open to all freshman
students.
Almost all of these groups have
planned informal get-together pro-
grams for the first weeks of school,
which offer the new student an inval-
uable opportunity for getting ac-
quainted.
Sunday nights are the most popular
meeting times of these groups, and
usually informal suppers are held
first, with faculty lectures or student
discussion panels following on topics
of general interest to all students.
Friday and Saturday night parties,
picnics and hikes are among the
other activities sponsored by these
