CANTERBURY CLUB is the Episcopal student foundation on campus. The guild works under the leadership of Rev. John H. Burt. Communion breakfasts, Sun- day evening meetings, and Friday Open Houses are featured in the group's program. The Ann Arbor Friends Meet- ing has its headquarters at Lane Hall. In addition to worship meetings, it holds frequent work parties to prepare clothing and other material for the Ameri- can Friends Service Committee foreign relief program. The Orthodox Students Society was established for all Greek Or- thodox students on campus. Un- der the guidance of Dr. S. M. Sophocles, the group holds Wed- nesday evening open house and sponsors religious, educational and social programs. *~* * THE LUTHERAN Student As- sociation is the local unit of the National Lutheran Council, and is under the direction of Rev. Hen- ry O. Yoder. The group meets every Sunday evening and holds Tuesday evening discussions, Wed- nesday Coffee Hours, and week- end social events. Moving into a new chapel this fall will be Gamma Delta, the Lutheran Student Club. The group is part of an all-student congregation under the super- vision of Rev. Alfred Scheips. Activities of the guild include Sunday Bible class and evening supper and program. The Michigan Christian Fellow- ship, affiliated with the Inter- varsity Christian Fellowship, is an organization of Protestant stu- dents who subscribe to the faith of historic Christianity. Activities of the group include weekly Sun- day program and tea, Wednesday Bible study, and such social events as parties, picnics, and hikes. THE STUDENT'S Evangelical Chapel just completed the build- ing of a new church. Organized chiefly of Christian Reformed students, the group is under the direction of Rev. Leonard Ver- duin. Wesleyan Guild has planned its 1949-50 program around the theme, "Developing Christian Attitudes and Social Action." The Methodist guild is under the guidance of Rev. James Brett Kenna. Activities of the group include Sunday evening supper and fellowship, Wednes- day tea, and Friday recreation. Serving Presbyterian students on campus is Westminster Stu- dent Guild.

Improve Your F Lan ua es ' Run by the Interfraternity Council as a non-profit organiza- tion, the exchange will put a stu- dent's book up for sale at his own price. If the book doesn't sell, he may claim it after the exchange closes. If it sells, a check will be mailed to him later. The exchange charges a 10 per- cent fee to cover overhead. Un- sold books not claimed are sold to local bookstores. DURING THE last semester, the exchange did between $4,000 and $5,000 worth of business. Textbooks don't come free to students, but football tickets do. They aren't absolutely free, but the student doesn't feel them so much because they are included in the price of the tuition. Basketball tickets are included, too, as well as League or Union memberships, health service privi- leges and general University dues and fees. STUDENT seating in the newly- enlarged stadium will be assigned according to the number of semes- ters in residence at the University. Freshmen will sit in the end zone and the longer a student stays in school the nearer he gets to the 50 yard line-the best spot on either side of the stadium. Basketball seating is different- all students have to do is show their University identification and make a mad rush for the seating in Yost Field House. Generally, if a spectator gets there soon enough, he can find an excellent seat. Mystery Death Spurs Drive On Affliction Mutiple Sclerosis Research Given $100 When.a mysterious disease took the life of Audrey Crawford, a University coed, last fall, everyone who knew her was stunned. Only five weeks before her death, Miss Crawford had com- plained to her Alpha Omicron Pi sorority sisters of a numbing sen- sation in her right arm. When the died in University Hospital, t.:e diagnosis was multiple sclerosis, with complications. ALTHOUGH the disease itself may not be fatal, it is a baf- fling but unfortunately common affliction, it may lead to other conditions will will take the life of its victm. The members of Alpha Omi- cron Pi gathered a fund at the end of the school year which they designated as a memorial for Audrey Crawford. Plans are now under way for a formal dedication to the new studios of WUOM, the University's student-operated radio station. The station's new studios are on the fifth floor of the administra- tion building. It is staffed by 13 full-time employes, eight of whom are graduates. AFTER THE UNIVERSITY had Varsity Band Schedules Fall Audition 25 Vacancies Exist for Freshmen Auditions for positions on the University Band will be held dur- ing Registration Week at Harris Hall. Instruments primarily needed to fill the estimated 25 vacancies on the Marching Band are cornets, bass horns, and saxophones, but students who play other instru- ments may also apply. All inter- ested campus musicians should contact Mr. John Lee, assistant director of the band, at his Harris Hall office. *F * * ALTHOUGH THE far-famed Marching Band is regarded as one of they finest in the country and last year won enthusiastic acclaim in all cies in which it played, Lee encourages freshman tryouts. He emphasized that in the past a large part of the band's make-up was of freshmen. ' With the sole exception of the Stanford game, the Marching Band will perform at all home and away football contests. After football season, the band will transfer its activities indoors and will make up the Varsity and Con- cert Bands. * * * MEMBERSHIP IS THEN open to women. The two groups will spend their winter season playing at basket- ball games and performing on other occasions when band music is desired. utilized commercial stations for 25 years, the new outfit was con- structed by engineering students, and opened for operations in July, 1948. The first campus station, WCBC, had ceased functioning in 1923. The station is operating on a five andi one-half hour schedule, from 2:30 to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 9:151 to 11 a.m. on Sundays. The be- ginning of the fall semester will see the schedule change to 12 to 9 p.m. Under present plans, the stationI will devote two thirds of its broad- cast time to music. The remaining time will be apportioned to edu- cational talks, interviews, round- tables, and dramatic programs. * * * CONCERTS AND evening reci- tals will be broadcast from the Auditorium in which they take place. The station's transmitter and radiator tower are located atop PeachMountain, near Portage Lake,16 miles northwest of the campus. Reception is possible within a 60 to 100 mile radius of Ann Arbor. WUOM has frequency modula- tion transmission and operates on a frequency of 91.7 megacycles, with a radiated power of 45,000 watts. Travel Office Aids Students A travel office designed to aid students making trips abroad is located in the Office of Student Affairs. The travel office is run by the National Student Association Com- mittee of the Student Legislature. * * * BESIDES SUPPLYING infor- mation on the annual summer NSA tours through Europe, the office is the campus clearing house for information on tours spon- sored by other groups as well. The travel office also has the facts on work camps and study opportunities abroad., Over 100 University students were in Europe last summer. STUDENT OPERATED: WUOM Dedication Plans Now Under Way Engineers Will Provide Sky-writing will herald Engi- neering in October, sponsored by the Engineering Council. The week will begin with a mass parade and-will be climaxed by an Engineering Show Oct. 28. All engineering groups are expected to take part in the show, whie. will feature displays and exhibi- tions of the engineering college'sl handiwork. * * * PURPOSE OF the Week is to build engineering spirit and coop- eration, and to promote Closer re- lations between the engineering school and other colleges of the University. The Engineering Council is the student administration body of the College of Engineering. Made up of qualified engineer- ing students and the presidents of each engineering class, the Coun- cil reviews cases involving en- gineering students and is a liaison to the faculty and engineering ad- ministration. * * * LATEST accomplishment of the Council was the drafting of an Engineering Honor Council Con- stitution, which wil go into effect this semester. The Honor Council is a group of eight engineers chos- en from petitioners by the cab- inet of the Engineering Council which reviews cases involving en- gineering students and the Honor System. The Honor System, at present the only such system in the Uni- versity, puts engineering stu- dents "on their honor" during exams. Students are not super- vised and sign a pledge that they have neither given nor re- ceived aid during the exam. The Honor Council will con- tinue to be subject to control by the Engineering Council, its par- ent group. The new constitution is the first in the Honor Council's history. * * * , THE ENGINEERING college makes up nearly one-quarter of the University population and is operated by a near-independent administration. RECREATION SPOT: Fresh Air Camp Ready For More Student Use The University Fresh Air Camp will be available shortly for more general student use than ever. The camp is a popular recrea- tion spot. When all planned im- provements are completed it will be open the year round. * * * THE CAMP began as a service project for underprivileged and maladjusted boys and during the summer months its facilities are administered for this purpose by the University's Institute for Hu- man Adjustment. This work is supported by a yearly tag day. The camp, located 26 miles from Ann Arbor, is on Patterson Lake which provides fine swimming for the summer, and skating in the winter. " * * * AT PRESENT, the chief facility available for student use is the main lodge consisting of two large rooms which can be made into one for dances. In the past the use of this building has been restricted to the warm months, but winter- ization is expected to be complet- ed this year. For the past threeyears many of the major campus organiza- tions have been collecting fuik1s to be used for improvements at the Fresh Air Camp. Last May, students presented to Alexander G. Ruthven, Univer- sity president, $16,000 to be used for winterization. * * * THE FIRST PROJECT to be undertaken will be revamping the main lodge. Plans call for a new well and year around pumping equipment, wall insulation and a forced air heating system. When this is completed, stu- dents will be able to make use of the lake and the hills sur- rounding the site for skating, skiing and other winter sports. Other projected improvements include a new floor for dancing and a public address system to furnish music. * * * THE CONSTRUCTION of a beach house does not appear to be too far in the future, and long range plans include improvement of the cabins. Student participation in the im- provement of the camp will con- tinue, and according to Dr. Wil- liam Morse, director of the camp, both the students and the camp's summer users will benefit. - Former King Of Yugoslavs Will Speak Talks To Open On October 5 Seven famous figures from the fields of government, art, drama and journalism will visit Hill Au- ditorium in the University's 1949- 50 Lecture Course.

The King will tell "The Story of My Country." The . Oratorical Association is now acepting mail orders for sea- son tickets for the series, and the Hill Auditorium box office will open on Sept. 19. Extension Service Adds Enrollment Catering to an audience equal to the University student body and with the whole state as its campus, the University Extension Service takes education out of Ann Arbor to the people. EXTENSION SERVICE brought lectures to 60,000 and courses to 21,000 in the last year. It sent out 157 faculty and student teachers who lectured in all of Michigan's 87 counties. The courses offered by the Extension Service range from Bach to Biology. A total of 651 courses are offered, full college credit is given for 351 of them. The Extension Service was founded in 1911 and has grown with the Tniversitv PLAN MUSICAL YEAR: Rubinstein, Boston Group To Appear in Concerts ---___ -___ -_______________________________________ DEAN ERICH A. WALTER *1 * * Dean Walter Runs Student AffairsOffice Dean of Students Erich A. Wal- ter will greet incoming freshmen and transfer students on Monday evening of orientation week. Dean Walter is head of the Of- fice of Student Affairs, a second campus home to University stu- dents. * * * THE OFFICE IS crowded throughout the day with students who are requesting eligibility cards for extra-curricular activ- ities, getting automobile permits, checking the social calendar, look- ing for vacancies in rooming houses, or maybe reviewing the account of one of the many stu- dent organizations. Besides that, the office has a personal record card for each student on campus. The post of dean of students was formed by the Board of Re- gents in 1921. This was the first job of this kind in the country. THE DUTY OF THE dean of students is to be "friend, counse- lor and guide to the student body with general oversight of its wel- fare and its activities." As a result, the Office of Stu- dent Affairs has become catch- all for the entire University. Even mail clerks who find them- selves with letters they don't know what to do with drop them off at the office. IN ITS YEARS OF existence the post of dean of students has ac- cumulated the jobs of ex-officic membership in the University Sen- ate, Council, Conference of Deans Board in Control of Student Pub- .ications, Board of Directors oi the Union, Board of Governors of Residence Halls, and many more. Back in 1921, the dean's office was one small room with two desks in it-one for himself and one for his secretary. A sum totaling $100 was sent to the National Society for Pre- vention of Multiple Sclerosis. * * * THE ORGANIZATION is en- gaged in research regarding both the causes and cure of the disease. It is very important work because nobody can be sure where or when the disease will strike. Miss Crawford was not sickly in any way. She was 20 at the time of her death, a normal senior student in the University, working for her degree in dental hygiene. She was active in col- lege life, studying hard and dat- ing a good deal. Practically every test doctors made trying to determine what was the matter proved negative. Meanwhile the numbness spread, affecting her arms especially. MISS CIMOWFORDI was told f.ha. -- miht p. ns-v mnth The 1949-50 music season at Hill Auditorium will bring 26 major concerts to the public, the Univer- sity Musical Society has announc- ed.
