becoming leaders of groups of young-I
er girls. Mrs. Louis Bredvold opened
the series of lectures, Thursday, by
a talk on recreation and group sing-
ing. The remaining five meetings will
be conducted by Mrs. Knox Mitchell
thus bringing the work up to Christ-
mas vacation after which a different
I phase of the work,. that of dealing
with the high school girl, will be
planned. The committee in charge of
this work is as follows; Louise Pen-

Marion Branch, '26, Doris Gilnes, '26,

A International banquet to be giv-
en on November 26 is to be one of the
main features of the World Fellowship
committee of which Beryl Schaffer,
'25, is the chairman. It is aimed
through this department to establish
friendly relations between foreign
students and American women. Mem-
bers of the fellowship committees ofI
the Y. W. C. A. and the S. C. A., the
Cosmopolitan club, and all foreign
students are invited to this banquet.
Besides this there is given every
year an internatioal house party to
further the friendly feeling with the
foreign students.,
Entering women have been grouped
into ten separate sections over which
20 Y. W. C. A. members have been put!
in charge to assist them in establish-
ing themselves at Michigan and to
make new friends when they first'
come here. This phase of the work
is called the leadership commission

Financial support of the association
is secured in a different way at the

Miss McHugh made a reputation
among the state politicians when she
was private secretary to Governor

five years. She had been one of the
chief backtops for Taggart. So when
he fell ill this summer she was the
logical person to take charge.
