Patro- nesses chosen chiefly from among faculty wives serve in an advisory capacity to the Board of Gover- nors of Residence Halls which is charged with general supervision. Student government regulates closing hours, quiet hours for study, and extra-curricular activi- ties. In each residence a living room is set aside where guests may be entertained and informal gatherings held by the students. Dietitians Trained dietitians supervise dormitory dining rooms. and dor- mitory residents take their mels where they live. Special diets are not obtainable in the residences. In each of the large halls there is a house nurse designated by the University Health Service.

Alhough University alumnae have been active since the first co- ed graduated in 1871, they did not organize into a group until 1917. University Interests In this year, the Central Cor- respondence Committee began di- recting work "to do more for Michigan women and to stand by all interests and achievements of the University as expressed through her Alumnae Associa- tion." The purchase of a self-help house maintained by women stud- ents was the first project of the alumnae. A house on Washtenaw Avenue was occupied, and in 1926, the Regents acquired the present Mary Markley House, earlier known as Alumnae House. With the growth of alumna groups, the name Central Corres- pondence Committee was no long- er representative of that organi- zation's function. Accordingly, in 190, th ws changed to Alumnae Council of Alumni Association. Too Small Until 1928, alumnae headquar- ters as well as all women's organi- zations were housed in Barbour Gymnasium which had been built to accommodate only 400 women students. Then the Women's League be- gan the fund for a separate wom- en's building in 1921, and the Alumnae Council embarked upon a campaign to raise $1,000,000 for it. When half the sum was raised, the Regents donated the land on which the building now stands, and :n June, 1929, the formal dedi- cation took place. Council Heads Mrs. Mary Barton Henderson, '94, was the first executive secre- tary of the Alumnae Council. She served from 1917 to 1930. Mrs. Marguerite Maire held the posi- tion until 1932 and was succeeded by Mrs. Lucille B. Conger. Among the permanent projects of the Council is a program of student aid based on broad lines, awarding of current scholarships and fellowships and the establish- ment of permanent endowments in $10,000 units as basic funds for graduate fellowships. University women are noted for their neatness and smart clothes, Jean, sloppy bobby socks and scuffed shoes belongs to the high school set. Attire at all meals is within the relms of good taste and there is a rigid taboo on curlers worn by lazy coeds at meals. ettes are an additional conven- ience. Although the equipment of each room varies, the University prescribes basic furnishings: bed, desk, chair, dresser, mirror and lamp. Laundry and pressing fa- cilities are available for limited use. Furnish Supplies Rcsidence halls (not League Houses) furnish bed linen, a"bed pillow, and one pair of blankets. Each student is expected to bring towels, dresser scarf, bedspread for single bed, and any extra bed covers. The pamphlet continues with a description of the Michigan League as the women's social or- ganization, and of the League's extracurricular activities, con- cludaing as follows: "Counselling in the Office of the Dean of Women seeks to integrate the varied experiences which the students share on this coeduca- tional campus. The hours of study and relaxation spent in the com- pionship of others engaged in con- genial pursuits are, like the hours spent in library ad lecture halls, regarded as an essential part of University life.' Assembly .. (Continued from Page 1) meeting will be held to ac- quaint women with Assembly activities. During the subsequent week members of the Board will visit every independent resi- dence to explain the functions and plans of the group. High- light of the program will be a show given in the League. Traditional events of Assembly include Assembly Recognition Night, which honors outstanding independent women. Talks and awards are given and dessert is served. Another annual event is Assem- bly Ball, which will be presented in the early spring. Petitioning for the central committee will be held at the end of the fall term. 'This dance is traditionally coed- bid. Coke bars at all campus dances are managed by Assembly women as a money-raising project. The series of league house tea dances presented last year will be continued on Saturday after- noons in the League Ballroom. The project was begun because many campus residences are too small to hold their own dances and parties. Assembly, in collaboration with Panhellenic, is planning a Frosh Weekend to be held in the spring. Petitioning for the various As- sembly positions will be held throughout the year. Assembly Office is located in Room D in the League where membership cards may be picked up at any time. Council .. .
