Vocalists and symphony orchestras are featured in this music festival, which has been favorably compared to the great European festivals.

Little bows of lace were also worn. The polonaise, Mrs. Green ex- plained, was a garment that can be compared with the present-day jigger coat, although it never enjoyed thej wide popularity of today's model. It was fashioned usually of a figured or striped material and was hip length. However, it did not flare at the back nor did it have padded shoulders.! Although the women students in1 1880 did not wear sweaters as we know them, they did wear something that corresponded to them in func- tion. This sweater-like affair was called a jersey, because it was spon- sored by the famous actress, Lily Langtry, who came from Jersey. It came in all colors, was buttoned down the front, and was worn with different skirts. No picture of the first women stu- dents who were enrolled in 1870-71 remains, but the women of '74 are shown in a class photograph that be- longs to an album recently given to the University by an alumnus.

On the first floor there is a cafe- teria, soda bar, knitting shop, Russian tea room, business offices, undergad- uate offices, beauty parlor, check rooms, public telephones, rehearsal rooms and the theatre box office. The League Chapel is the scene -of many services and weddings during both the winter and summer sessions. It was given in memoriam of Char- lotte Blagden, president of the League in 1925. She aided greatly in the completion of the present League Building, and she died during her term of office. In the spring espec- ially many alumnae return to the Chapel for their own weddings, and as many as four have been held there in one afternoon. Garden For Women Only In the courtyard on the east side of the League is a lovely garden. It is also the scene of many a nuptial cere- mony, as well as receptions and af- ternoon teas. Going to the second floor, one finds a ballroom where the Pan Hellenic ball for sorority women, and the As- Perry, Mrs. Byrl Fox Bacher, Miss Elizabeth Lawrie, Mrs. S.

Following the Cabaret Dinner, a series of short skits written by Jean Keller, and directed by Marie Saw- yer will be presented in Lydia Men- delssohn Theatre. The cast for these skits which are to depict humorous examples of campus etiquette as well as freshmen "do's and don'ts" will be selected from the women advisers. Orientation Week will end with dinners served in all of the dormi- tories Friday night. Lecture Series Arranged During the folling three weeks, lec- tures have been planned for fresh- men women at 5 p.m. in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Attendance at these lectures is obligatory, and one merit point will be awarded for per- fect attendance. The lecture series is to open with Dean Alice Lloyd and Mr. Glen Mc- Geoch as the speakers. The subjects of their addresses will be announced later as will the remaining speakers for the lectures. With the opening of the week on October 25, Miss Elizabeth Osborne will be in Ann Arbor as a "consultant in appearance." She will maintain office hours to advise on proper clothes, appearance, poise and per-' sonality. She is to remain on the campus for one week.

He has made quite a name for himself as he has been featured as 'the pianist with several of the more prominent bands in the country, and also has written drrangements for student functions. He is often called by the U. of M. students, "the second Eddie Duchin." Lounge For Students Opposite the dining room are sev- eral lounges used for receptions. The Ethel Fountain Hussey room, named after the president of the League in 1890, and the Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo rooms given by the alum- nae of those cities are open at all times to the students and may be re- served for many types of special oc- :asions. Also the Hostess room and the Games room, as their names im- ply, are available. The Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre is the background for many plays dur- ing both winter and summer session. The Junior Girl's Play, the Drama festival and the Repertory Players are presented here. Classes and lectures are held in the theatre practically every day. Degree Program SystemExplained (Continued from Page 5) for instance, if he is more interested' in Physics than in a more sweeping survey of all the sciences.) Each student's credit for gradua- tion, comprising his entire course of study in all four years at the Univer- sity, must include not less than 30 hours study in his department of con- centration, or not less than 60 hours of study in his division of concen- tration, if he chooses the latter. Minimum Of 120 Hours It should be carefully noted that if the student selects a division of con- centration, which is a field of larger scope than a department ,he must take 60 hours in that division, rather than 30, which is all that is required in the department of concentration. A minimum of 120 hours is required for graduation in the College of Lit- erature, Science, and the Arts. Other rules pertaining to the stu- dent's concentration program may be found in the 1936-37 announcement bulletin of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts. These pages are two of the most important in the catalogue, and are deserving of the earnest study of the incoming fresh- man. i U Vk 1-' f. 1 k Van B oven S Invariably Come In For Their Share Of The Conversation!
