HOUSES TO TTENI
Dleissioni Will Concern Effieienc
Of Existing Advisory And
Organizing Systems
USE INDIVIDUAL TABLE
More than 75 women are expected
;,to attend the breakfast given by th
Women's league to league house
numbering over 15, that have show
themselves to be definitely interested i
l campus affairs. This breakfast wil
be held from 9 to 10:30 o'clock Sun
day in the corrective room of Bar
bour gymnasium. Representative
from these league houses, members o
the Honor council, members of th
house organization committee of th
Women's league will be present, a
well as Norma Bicknell Mansfield, '26
president of the league, and Constance
Clarke, '26 vice-president.
In an effort to bring about a more
personal savour to the function plan
have been made to use small table
--seating four, which will be decorated
-°in a color scheme of green and white
An effort will be made to bring dif
ferent girls in contact with each other
by changing tables between courses
The discussion which will be held
after the breakfast will be lead by
Dorothy Cline, '26, chairman of the
house organization committee, and
everyone present will be given an op-
portunity to speak. The main topic
ofrdiscussion is the advisabiity of
changing the present methods used by
the different advisory, and organiz-
-ng systems. The junior advisory sys-
tem is acknowledged as falling short
of performing its assigned duties, for
according to figures from the office
t of the Dean of Women only 400 out
of 800 entering women were reached
this year, and one hundred of these
were reached several weeks after the
semester had started when the women
were already settled. Thus the sys-
temn failed in its primary , duty, that
of making the first two weeks easier
for entering women
Recently, also, it has ben felt that
the purpose of the house organiza-
tion committee, Honor council, and
junior advisory system are identical
and inseparable, that one organiza-
tion trespasses on the ground of an-
other, but neither accomplish as much
as would be. possible should their
efforts be clearly defined and concen-
trated.
According to Miss Cline, it is hoped
that at the close of the discussion a
clear idea formed of how to solve this
problem, and how a definite place may
be made for the freshmen on cam-
pus, so that they will be linked up
more closely with the University. Any
other campus problem which is
brought up will also receive discus-.
sion.
If this function serves its purpose,
not only of discussion but of acquaint-
ing the women, a similar affair may
be given for the smaller league
houses on campus. Only those num-
bering 15 or more will be guests at
this time ..... but it is possible
that those between 10 and 15 will have
a similar opportunity. It is also pos-
sible that the function will become
an annual one.
Student Teachers
Prefer Detroit
Detroit is the most popular city
with seniors of the School of Educa-
tion who wish to do practice teach-
uing and school observational work
during the spring vacation. This was
- found at a meeting held recently in
STappan Hall for those students who I
had previously indicated their desire!
to receive this experience. It is in-
teresting to note that these two cities
are not thehome towns of many of
*the women who signed up for places
there.
There will be opportunities to teach'
in grade schools, junior, and senior,
high schools. Prof. C. 0. Davis of the
School of Education read the regula-
tions governing the off-campus prac-
tice teaching. At the end of the en-
tire period of this off-campus work
a report is expected from each stu-
dent covering the following details:
the nature of the work done; the out-
standing personal advantages accru-
ing from the undertaking; sugges-
tions for improving the off-campus ob-
servation and practice work.

of Cleveland, 0., is the first woman in

Unique opportunities for foreign-
born children are being offered in
Highland Park at the Foreign-Born
American Division Church school
which was started in October.
"Here is a real piece of American-
ization," commented Miss Grace
Richards, advisor of foreign women,
who has recently mailed letters to
the Cosmopolitan club, the S. C. A.,
and the Y. W. C. A. urging students
connected with social service to in-
vestigate the work being carried out
at this school. Miss Richards stated
that foreign students interested in
Americanization will be very welcome
visitors. -
PRISSIONS GRANTED
eFOR RESIDENT CHNGES
s
Changes of residence between se.
mesters are fewer this year than last
according to a report issued yesterday
by Mrs. A. S. Hobart of the office of
the dean of women. Contrasted to
the 113 requests of last year, 73 ap-
plications were received by this office,
out of which 56 permissions have been
granted.
Women were allowed to move into
dormitories or sororities without spe-
cial permission by notifying the office
of the dean of women and their land-
ladies by January 9. 30 have transfer-
red into sorority houses and 9 into
dormitories. About 19 others were
permitted to change League houses.
Seven women were refused permission
to move because of insufficient reas-
ons.
"The League houses contain groups
of four to twenty women," stated Mrs.
f Hobart, "and it is very important
that these groups be congenial."
In some instances we have found
it desirable tomove girls who were
much younger than the group with
whom they were living." A few land-
ladies who recognized that the group
in their house was not congenial
recommended that changes be made.
Too much noise, desire to change
eating places, and finances were some
of the main reasons for moving re-
quests. Contracts for rooms are made
for one semester and are automatic-
ally renewed unless a student notifies
the office of the dean of women and
the head of her house four weeks be-
fore the opening of the new semester.
Mrs. Hobart stated that prices of
the rooms would all remain the same
for the second semester as ,the first.
No additional houses will be opened
until next fall. However, many de-
sirable vacancies are obtainable due
to the fact that many students have
had to leave school on account of
health.
The Ann Arbor branch of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion will give its annual card party
Feb. 6 at the Alpha Phi house. Mrs.
John C. Brier is in charge of arrange-
ments for the party.

IAlumnae Groups
Aid Communities
A new tendency in university work
is seen in the recent organization of
university graduates into a club in
which the women of their community
are assisted through the efforts of the
college graduates. The organization
was first started in Dubuque, Iowa
and was carried from there'to the
University of Iowa. At the present
time there are members from 236 ap-
proved colleges in the country with
a list of active workers drawn only
from those who have earned at least
an A. B. degree.
Providing fellowships and scholar-
ships where they are needed and im-
proving conditions generally especial-
ly in the field of physical education
and medicine the organization has at-
tached definite utilitarian value to its
existence.
