Weekend Activities
Many of the all campus social

Union. These include: "Michi-

featuring a carnival, parade and
displays; "Homecoming," the spe-

affiliate and nonaffiliate groups
erect displays, "Musket," officially

unofficial sports, arranges for
President Hatcher's open house
parties, Special Invitation Open
Houses, "Faculty-Family Day" and

cations (the M Handbook, Calen-
dar Notebook, and the Union
House Information Sheet).
Allgthis is directly under the
general supervision of the Union
