It ain't long now 'til you'll be a college freshman, a real, honest-to- goodness collegiate gal running around the Michigan campus like you owned it, but before you get too sure of yourself and know-it-all, (and you will-everybody does) while you're still green (and you will be) we want to be the first to give you a bit of advice and tell you what it's all about (we're so sure ourselves!) ... we know you won't take it, but we just want to make the gesture! When you breeze into Ann Arbor by train, car, bus, plane .. . or via thumb, you'll be all wide-eyed o U Kand excited . .. bubbling over with where you're going C H 0 CE to live, what upper classmen you know, how new it all is, if your favorite man is here too, AND if Roosevelt or Willkie is going to be the head man for the next four years . . . go easy on this ... !Washtenaw County has voted Republican for so long it doesn't even know that / '. ki there's any other alternative. We're about the only dyed-in-the-wool Democrat here, and if we don't shut up about it, we won't be here! So, enough about our political views-what we want to tell you is how to live, and you really can LIVE in A. A. The first thing you'll go through is Orientation week. You'll meet reams of people, be told lots, get very mixed up, acquire sore feet. To Be Aided First BJy Two Student Groups Freshmen And Transfers Week k f JANE GROVE Lea gueOffers Many Facilities To All Women Serves As Activity Center, Club House For Women, Alumnae Headquarters Dedicated to the unity of Univer- sity women, the million-dollar Mich- igan League serves as club house and activity center for all women on campus and the headquarters for alumnae organizations throughout the country. Its chapel, theatre, ballroom, cui- sine, lounges, and accommodations are integral parts of the building which undergraduates and graduates by virtue of their membership have created and preserve. for the partici- pation and enjoyment of the campus. Seating 700, the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre is the scene of the Cinema Arts program featuring outstanding foreign and domestic movies, as well as class projects and the repertoire of Play Production. Beautifully decorated, the spacious wood-panelled Mary B. Henderson Room, the Ethel Fountain Hussey Room, the Grand Rapids Room and the Kalamazoo Room provide facili- ties for meetings, parties, such as dancing, bridge, and dining in the social calendar of Michigan wo- men. Drama, fiction, biography, travel and periodicals can be found in the women's library on the third floor about the panelled room where un- dergraduate women gather for seclud- ed study and reading. Surrounded by its high stone wall, the informal garden of the League is well-known for its trim shrubbery and flowers, as the warm-weather meeting place of women and their friends and the setting of numer- ous garden weddings. With headquarters in the League, the Alumnae Association maintains (Continued on Page 15) There'll be swell advisers to sort of give you the lay of the land and watch over you, and do their best (after all they're only human) to settle all yourc difficulties.C Comes Orientation ... d By the time Orientation week is over school really starts . . . and witho it oodles of upper classmen come back . .. you see lots of nice men (six tol every gal) lots of purty gals (despite the "four out of five women are beautiful and the fifth comes to3 Michigan" statement!) and perfessers, (who are \ nice too ... and also human). With all this comes .' rushing, which is lots of fun. It'll be a hectic week, 5 but you'll find time to get your hair done and drift L into the formal rushing dinners the last two nights of rushing looking like a dream, very sophisticated,f calm and poised .. . no one will know that your stomach is probably full of butterflies, and you're terrified, but remember the rushers went through the same experience once and should understand . besides they probably feel just as weak in the knees as you do! As the first few weeks come to life you'll get introduced to all the places to go ... dancing at the League and Union is always popular, lectures, movies, con-l certs, and drinking beer at the Bell make up a beginning list. But it's onlyj the beginnin'. S -Pretty soon after school begins . . . just about when you've gotten all broken into everything, the Union Formal comes up. It's the first really big3 dance and its wonderful. About the same time the football games start . . . and don't miss a one-you'll never forgivel yourself! Michigan is going to have a swell team, you can count on that, and you'll have the time of your life at the games and yell yourself sick. Then just before Thanksgiving7 comes Pan-Hellenic B'all . . . all the sorority goils ask their favorite men and dance to soft music in the League Ballroom.t The females foot the expenses, so it's usually "THE MAN" that you ask; And just a hint which you'll forget . . . You'll love it here, but, unfortunately, just loving it ain't enough to keep you here . . . the faculty and higher-ups like devotion to the school 'cause everybody loves it, but they like what should go hand in hand with it too, scholastic effort! In plain toims, kid, ya gotta study besides play. We agree that all work and no play makes Jill a dull girl,'BUT all play and no work makes Jill go home permanently after the first semester. And you don't want to go home do you . . . or do you? Comes Cupid .. . All this seriousness that Aunt Jemima is giving you is all for your own good, and leads up to what happens after you go home at Xmas to tell your families what a super, wonderful, swell, colossal, neat . . . and don't forget educational, place this is. What we are leading up to is that when you come back there are exams ... You'll probably age a lot exam week, you'll never be quite so carefree again, but always remember that exam week is only the prelude to J-Hop4 weekend ... there are house parties galore,1 dances, breakfasts and tobogganing par- ties and just everything to make the week- end perfect! If you don't get asked your first year, remember that you have three more years to secure a man who has the sufficient funds to feel like squandering much cash on just you, and "much cash" it is too! If Cupid doesn't do his stuff for you this year he's sure to make it up next year-don't give up hope! Just remember that by the time people have seen you in Frosh Project (which you must go out for as it's a swell way to meet the gals in your class and is more fun than a picnic) or have your name on The Daily staff or the Gargoyle staff, 'cause certainly you're going out for lots of activities, why everybody'll want to know you! After J-Hop comes the second semester.
