These class activities, to be sure, are part of the more frivolus as- pect of going to college, but they are not valueless. There is a certain the people you'll meet and the things you'll do, but most of all you'll be curiousdabout the place you'll call "home" for two semesters. Ann Arbor offers five dormitories for freshmen women, besides many accredited League rooming houses. These dormitories are Mosher-Jor- dan, the largest, Betsy Barbour Dormitory, Helen Newberry Resi- dence, Adelia Cheever House and Alumnae House. The last two men- tioned are small dorms and the wo- men students do part of the work there. Have Advantages Betsy Barbour and Helen Newberry have one advantage over all other dormitories in their nearness to cam- pus. Located directly across from Angell Hall where many classes are held, one can tumble out of bed at five minutes to eight, and make an eight o'clock in plenty of time. Each of these dormitories accomodates more than 80 women. In addition to its bedrooms, "Betsy" as you'll call it, has a large dining room, attractive parlor and enclosed sun porch. Adjoining it is a tennis court, and it shares a garden with Helen Newberry. As for its social activities you can have a guest to dinner once a week, there are usually two formals given during the year and there are faculty teas and din- ners. Helen Newberry also has a dining room, pleasant living rooom and porch. Newberryites are always es- pecially proud of their dining room with its walls of pale blue and pink showing apple trees in full bloom. On Sunday mornings here, breakfast ma- terials are sent up to floor kitchens and the residents make their own breakfasts. Visitor nights, formals and faculty functions are also given in this dormitory. Mosher-Jordan Is Not Far Although Mosher-Jordan is a seven minute walk from campus, it has many offsetting advantages. Mosher, the "sick" end because its nearest the University Hospital, and Jordan, the "dead" end because its near a cemetery, are two separte units, each accomodating more than 200 women. The two units are exactly alike as to floor plan, and each has a dining room, two large parlors, library, and games porch where ping pong can be played. There is also a sandwich shop where one can buy "cokes" and ice cream when burning the well-known 'midnight oil.' Sunday morning breakfasts at Mo- sher-Jordan are not served in the floor kitchens but down in the dining room. However, you do not have to be dressed for this and may come down in lounging pajamas or negligees. Guest night at this dorm is Thursday night and there are also formals and faculty dinners during the year. Being located right next to Palmer Field, Mosher-Jordan women have many opportunities for sports. Pal- mernField offers an archery range, tennis courst, putting green, and baseball and hockey field. The Bayeux tapestry, preserved in the public library of Bayeux, France, contains 1512 figures in 72 scenes representing the invasion and con- quest of England by William the Con- queror. satisfaction in contributing your time and talent to a project planned and carried through by your fellow stu- dents. And, though it is a painfully trite observation you do gain some- thing from working with others. Frosh Project Comes First Freshmen women have to stick pretty closely to academic things throughout the year, but along in May and June they have an oppor- tunity to participate in extra-cur- ricular work. This work is a Fresh- man Project, which for the past two years has taken the form of an out- door pageant given before the trad- itional Lantern Night procession. Last year's pageant was called "Rip Van Winkle" and was distinguished by original songs, a tumbling exhibition and a dance of wooden shoes five feet high. The pageant was written en- tirely in verse by members of the central committee. A different sort of project is the Sophomore Cabaret which is given early in December. It is a dance and floor show held in the League ball- room and sophomore women act as dance hostesses. Last year's cabaret was called "Derby Day," and the high point of the floor show was a tap dance by women costumed as race horses. In connection with this soph- omore project, the League gives a real fair, complete with fortune teller and booths. dinner at the League precedes the play. The Tryolean theme was chos- en by juniors last year for their play which related the troubles of a Swiss toymaker. "Feather In His Cap" was featured by many original songs and by dance routines in the Busby Berk- eley manner. Penny Carnival Important Although not a real class activity, the Penny Carnival is an important event on the Michigan women's cal- endar. It is given by the Women's Athletic Association to raise funds, and each sorority and woman's or- ganization has a booth. Last year the Penny Carnival was incorporated into the Michigras, a huge carnival, which raised money both for a men's dormitorysand a women's swimming pool. Last women's class activity of the year is the traditional Lantern Night procession from the Library steps to Palmer Field. The senior women, wearing caps and gowns and carrying lanterns form a block "M" on Palmer Field and pass their lanterns on to the women in the next class.

For All Departments 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 1 directory. L YOUR CLUB.....
