PAGE FOUR THE MICHIGAN DAILY DAY GU9T i Opening Date Set for Night Club Dances Campus Casbah Designed For Weekly Entertainment HE CAMPUS CASBAH, student soft drink night club originat- ed last year, will again open its doors for weekly Friday and Sat- urday night dances, beginning Fri- day, Sept. 26 in the League Ball- room, according to Carla Mullen- dore, Casbah chairman. Designed to relieve the dearth of entertainment facilities on weekends, the Casbah features weekly floorshows, refreshments, and tables lining the dance floor where students -may relax. The orchestra which will furnish music for the affairs will be announced later. Plans are being made to place new permanent decorations in the ballroom by fall. Among the plans are curtains surrounding the bandstand. A deep red vel- vet drop will be found over the top, with curtains of the same material at the sides of the bandstand. The floorshow, which features new talent each 'week, is made up entirely of student entertainers. Tryouts are held weekly for any- one interested in participating in the programs. Announcements for the time and place of the aud- itions will be made in The Daily. THE CASBAH; a project of League Council, is a non-prof- it function. Any funds are used for improving the facilities. In addition to the entertainment provided by the dance, other fa- cilities of the building will be opened for student use on Friday and Saturday night. Hours in the League Grill will coincide with those of the Casbah. The Grand Rapids Room will be available for bridge and table games. Cards will be furnished by the League.. Classical music may be heard in the second floor lounge. Members of the Ballroop committe assisting Miss Mul- lendore consist of Audrey But- tery, floorshow chairman; Mary Lou Hill, assistant; Ann Nichols, decorations chairman; Rosalind Rittenbom, publicity chairman; and Joan Kampmire, assistant. The opening of the Casbah last year marked the first all campus League social event to take place every weekend since 1942. At that time, the regular League Dances, managed by the business manager of the League, were discontinued. due to the war. Women may not enter the front door of the Michigan Union. For Union dances and other. special occassions they may legally enter the side door.

According to this program, for- mal sorority rushing will not start until the beginning of the spring semester. There will be informal rushing in the fall term for those houses who wish to participate, but first semester freshmen are not eligible for this rushing per- iod. It will begin as soon as or- ganization is' possible. Informal rushing will again be held in the spring term im- mediately after formal rushing. All coeds registered for formal rushing will not have to re-reg- ister for informal rushing. The Panhellenic Association has decided to stress the honor sys- tem in preference to the contact rules system. There are three con- ditions under the honor system. First, independent women are not to enter sorority houses; second, sorority women are not to enter dormitories; and third, the two should not strive to form new friendships. This system is effec- tive as soon as school starts. Sororities will strive to create as informal an atmosphere as possible during the rushing per- iod. By JEAN WHITNEY MEMBERS of the Merit-Tutor- ial Committee in the League aids deficient students in finding tutors and keeps the activity files up to date for the use of students and campus organizations. The Merit section of the com- mittee keeps a complete file of all undergraduate women and the extra - curricular activities in which they have participated. The cards bear each coed's picture, address, phone number and class. With these cards are person- nel reports made out by the various chairmen of committees, presidents of clubs and heads of other activities. These person- nel reports are sent into the committee at the end of every semester and are used to com- pile each women's activity point record. The reports are also used for the benefit of the Of- fice of the Dean of Women, the Social Director of the League, Judiciary Council, League com- mittees and honor societies, who by referring to the files, may find just the coed they need to work on some activity. The files are also used as references by employers of Michigan gradu- ates. Not only the activities in which a coed has taken part, but also a report on how well she did the job is kept in the records. These files are very important, and it is to each coed's advantage that her card be kept up to date, ac- cording to Donis Murray, chair- man of the Merit-Tutorial com- mittee. ALL STUDENTS desiring tutors contact the Tutoring service at the League and receive the name and telephone number of a tutor. Tutors and students make their own arrangements concerning time and place of tutoring. Tu- tors receive 75 cents per hour and tutoring ends two weeks before final examinations begin. To be eligible to tutor a student must have received an A in the course or a B if it is his major. Tutors are available at the be- ginning of each semester for all students except freshmen, who may tutor after their five-weeks marks come out. The bulletin board in the Un- dergraduate Office of the League is kept up to date by the committee. Information on all League activities may be found there. In addition to their regular duties, the members of the com- mittee have undertaken the job of setting up an information booth in the Merit-Tutorial Room in the Undergraduate Office of the League. The booth is equipped with information on practically everything on campus and in Ann Arbor that would be of interest to students. M ERIT-TUTORIAL Office is open every afternoon during week except Saturday. The com- mittee is an integral part of League activities and is an op- portunity for coeds to start out in League activities and get to know how the organization works. Miss Murray will be aided by four assistants. They are Ilona Fietze, Ginny Nicklas, Corinne Schild and Shirley Meyer.
