Theoe organiza- tions often call for participa- tion in campus clubs or ask students rushing to class for charitable donations. But in 1943, one organiza- tion called in a favor with a much greater intensity. The Willow Run Com- munity School - home to a high school, adult education classes and a day care center - reached out to University co-eds to fill the void of edu- cators lost to people helping with the World War II effort. According to an article in The Michigan Daily on Dec. 15, 1943, attendance at Wil- low Run increased from 180 children to 410 as more par- tots became employed in war-related work - and with that boom in attendance, more teachers were needed. Though government offi- cials had already built three new schools to try to com- pensate for the expanded enrollment, the program at Willow Run needed women at the University to keep the program afloat, according to the article. The school especially called for women with any experience in caring for sick children, emphasizing the desperation of the situation. "Expansion of the Child- care Program at Willow Run depends on University women," the article stated. "They are needed to super- vise the activities of these children." According to the article, a major cause of absentee- ism at the time was the fact that parents had to choose between showing up at their jobs - which could help the war effort - and caring for their children. Due to this lack of ade- quate childcare, the adult education program at Wil- low Run was also suffering great losses, according to the article. Registration to help vol- unteer at the Willow Run School was held in the Mieh- ipso League lobby, where student volunteers stood and answered questions about the program. - MICHELE NAROV A flash proup of students ad lecturers in a School of Art sod Oesign TMP3 Time class performsa song from West Side Story in the Diag yesterday.
