Assembly, the organization for all
independent women on the campus
of the University of Michigan, makes
itself useful to its members by offer-
ing -a wide variety of opportunities
for participation in activities by its
members.
This year's entering freshmen and
transfers will officially "meet" As-
sembly when their orientation groups
tour the League. At this time repre-
§ptatives of both Assembly and
Panhellenic will distribute booklets
describing the functions of their re-
spective associations. The two 6r-
ianizations will also hold a get-at-
quainted tea dance in the League
ballroom for orientation group mern-
hers: and their advisors.

including the Assembly officers, rep-
resentatives of the Ann Arbor Inde-
pendents, Beta Kappa Rho and the
League Houses, and the president of
each of the eight University women's
dormitories.
The League Houses, the University
approved residences for women, are
divided into geographical zones of
40 women each. Ann Arbor Indepen-
dents is composed of all women not
living in dormitories, League houses
or sororities. Those unaffiliated wo-
men students who come from out of
town but who work and live in Ann
Arbor make up the Beta Kappa Rho
group.
Executive officers of the entire As-
sembly group are Betty Newman,
president; Dorothy Schloss, vice-
president; Mary Moore, secretary;
and Roberta Holland, treasurer.
Social Activities Planned
Social functions planned by the
group for this year will be Assembly
Banquet and Ball. At the banquet,
held during the first semester for all
independent women on campus,
awards are given representatives of

this feature women act as teachers
and dance partners.
At the opposite end of the second
floor and seating 700, the Lydia
Mendelssohn Theatre is the scene of
the Cinema Arts program featuring
outstanding foreign and domestic
movies, as well as of class projects
and the repertoire of Play Produc-
tion.
The second floor holds besides this
the beautifully decorated and spac-
ous wood-panelled Ethel Fountain
Hussey Room, the Grand Rapids
Room and the Kalamazoo Room, be-
sides a game room equipped for ping
pong.
Panhellenic and Assembly inter-
views take place in these rooms. Lun-
cheonis and dinners are held here.
When space is not available else-
where, work on decorations and pos-
ters is centered in these room. An-
other activity which meets here is
the Tuesday duplicate bridge session.
The Mary B. Henderson Room on the
third floor serves the same purposes.
7-11 Club Is Open
Another of the advantages offeredj
students is the 7-11 Club. which is
open every Friday and Saturday
night. At no cost, students may gath-
er, on the second floor of the bil-
ding, for bridge or dancing to thet
music of a nickelodeon. Shortly after
the start of the winter session, the
Club will be open for an afternoon, to
honor the freshmen. New students
are extended a special invitation to'
enjoy these privileges. Students may
come with or without partners, for'
there will be an opportunity to meet'
other members of the class.
Although the space above the sec-
ond floor is utlized mainly as living
quarters for residents and visitors,
there have been two suites, numbers
one and two, reserved on the third
floor for work on costume design,
scenery and other projects for such
activities as the children's theatre,
Soph Cabaret, J. G. P., -Frosh Project
and Panhellenic and Assembly Balls.
Setting aside these rooms especially
for such work removes the necessity
of storing materials away each day to
make room for other activities.
Stocked with 2,400 of the latest
popular-type books and magazines,
the library for women on the third
floor is a much-used facility of the
League. In this panelled room, deep,
easy chairs abound, and women have
in the past found it a restful place.
to gather for secluded study and
reading. All of the books are avail-
able for rental purposes. The main
portion is lent out at nocharge for
two week periods, while a number of
the latest acquisitions are set aside
for rental at three cents daily. The
library is open daily from 12:30 to
9:30 p. .
The "Cave" on the fourth floor is

To Teach Braille
Another unusual course offered as
a part of the defense program for
women is Braille. This course aids in
preparing students to transcribe, du-
plicate, bind books in Braille, read to
the blind, and to teach them the
Braille system.
The Nurse's Aide course offers an
opportunity to upper-class women in

sistants in nursing responsibilities in

spending money.
