THE CARPETBAGGERS do a little deckwork before entering the pool for their comedy number. WATER SPRITES The featured activity of Little Sister Weekend is the annual performance of the Water Sprites. Tryouts for this performance are held in the early fall, and followed by many months of bi-weekly practices. The 1962 theme, in commemoration of the Civil War Centennial, was Whistlin ' Dixie, based on life in the South during and after the end of the Civil War. The performance, tied together by the deep, deep Southern drawl of the narrator, thrilled little sister and big sister alike, and left a lasting memory of Water Sprites, 1962. FINALE!

THIS IS THE PART that hurts; payment of tuition and fees. If you can register and get the proper courses, you can pass anything that the University offers. You ' re also smarter than the average Bear! Upon entering the registration center, in new Hadley Hall, a sign witli explicit instructions for proper procedure greets you. You now have your IBM cards numbered 1 through 7 filled out (in ink), your health card and your councelling slip, and you look up for further instructions. There on the sign, scribbled in pencil, is the classic statement of all times. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.00.

MRS. HOUSEHOLDER ' S OF- FICE, a cross between Rube Gold- burg ' s Swap Shop and Grand Central Station. CAMPUS Did it ever occur to you that there might have been something that you missed last year? For example; did you know that Henry Hall holds the room-jam record for the State of Michigan. I didn ' t think you would. Really though, there are some serious things on campus that some of us might not realize exist. We are all acquainted with such things as tlie hitching hne and the Union, but what about Betty House- holder ' s office downstairs in the Student Center? Mrs. Householder is the Assistant Dean of Women and Social Director for all student functions. Her office bears a striking resemblance to Rube Goldburg ' s Swap Shop and Grand Central Station in New York. Mrs. Householder can answer absolutely any ques- tion you might put to her; how do I organize a club? where can I hire a band? how can I get a poster printed? are some samples of every day occvurences. THE STUDENT OFFICES, or politics can be fun! 28
