/ PAGE TEN THE MICHIGAAN DAILY SATURDAY, AUG. 15, 1936 Arny Science Courses Open 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.

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.

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. 4 r --________________________________________ I I iFl college students will play.

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 -. _ _ ' I IL i PEP FECT Relaxation for that idle hour between classes or just after eating.
