FRMfAY, AUG. 14, 1942 T HR mirru y ri-'A "TbA iT Tv } 7 Hillel;15 Years Old, Will Move To New House Holy Day Services, Chor Group, Lectures, Play Dances Are Activities a r8 LI I, Climaxing fifteen years of activity on campus, the Michigan chapter of Hillel Foundation will move this summer into new quarters at the corner of Haven and Hill streets. The new house will be open to stu- dents at the beginning of the fall term, Rabbi Jehudah M. Cohen, di- rector, announced. Considerably closer to campus than the old Foundation, the new house is also much larger and has spacious grounds. It has a large rec- reation room in the basement, and full kitchen facilities will be provid- ed. Rooms will be available for clas- ses and meetings. Completely Remodeled At present, the house is being com- pletely remodeled, redecorated and relandscaped through the efforts of the Women's Auxiliary of the B'nai B'rith District Grand Lodge. The Grand Lodge is also responsible for its purchase. The Michigan chapter of Hillel was founded in 1927. When it moved into its present quarter at 1102 Oakland, it was the first Foundation in the country to have its own building. Since that time it has grown until the house is unable to accommodate the numbers of students who attend services on the High Holy Days and Friday evening discussions. Hillel, with a membership of about 900 last year, is the largest sectarian crganization on the Michigan cam- pus. It is largely student governed by a Student Council elected by pro- portional representation and an ;ap- pointed student director. Last year's co-directors Robert Warner, '43,. and David Crohn, '43, will probably be back to serve this year. Conservative Services In addition to Holy Day services. the Foundation holds regular con- servative services on Friday nights and reform services Sunday morning. Friday evening services are regularly followed by lectures or forum discus- sions on current affairs. Hillel's collection of classical rec- ords is one of the largest on campus. The new house will contain a music room, as well as a large room to house its extensive library. The Foundation annually sponsors a Fall Dance, a Spring Play, and a Spring Formal. Last year, in line with its all-out participation in defense activities, a stunt show, Hillelzapop- pin, was substituted for the play, and gross proceeds were donated to relief organizations and the Bomber Schol- arship Fund. The formal also con- tributed to the fund, while fifty sol- diers from Forta Custer were special guests at the Fall Dance. Hillel also sponsors a Choral Group and a dramatic group, the Hillel. Players, and publishes a monthly newspaper. 44 11 Oil $: :_ 1 iilr 1vi1Gt1lbAIN " A LLY Pr109 SA. 1 71 i y..wMw,^"."! ^i ... cM" f+,'. _ .u .

Stu- dy and research center of the Uni- versity, it stands in the heart of the campus, available for use by all stu- dents and faculty members. Prof. Warner G. Rice is director of. the library system, which, in addition to the main building, has many smaller branches of specialized Vol- umes located at various points around the campus. The. main building, which, wa,, opened in 1920, has seats for about 1000 persons in its numerous reading and study rooms. Open from 7:45 a. m. to 10 p. m. every day during the week and on Sunday from 2 p. m. to 9 p. in., the library is in constant use. Students may draw books to read at home by showing their identification cards. Because of the vast numbers of books, the stack system of obtaining books is used. A student goes to the card catalog on the second floor, cop- ies the name and classification num- ber on a special form sheet and pre- sents it at the main desk. Special stck boys find his book and send it up. The library uses printed catalog cards issued by the Library of Con- gress in Washington. It also sub- scribes to the card publications of the John Crerar Library of Chicago, American Library Associates, Har- vard University and the University of Chicago. A number of special. collections, many of which have been received as gifts in recent years, are available. Col.
