TO RAISE $400,000 Final arrangements have been made k for the launching of the life member- ship campaign for the Women's league x building which will start immediately after the opening of the new term. It has been announced that $400,000 remains to be raised out of the $1,- 000,000 stipulated by the board of regents of the University as the neces- sary amount before the league build- in'g may be started. If the students respond to the campaign for pledging life memberships it will be possible to start the erection of the building by June of 1927 on the site located on North University avenue across from Barbour gymnasium. =-;F President Clarence Cook Little be- lieves that the weakest point which must be faced is thelack of support by the students. While other col- leges show a 100 per cent contribu- tion to their women's building fund Michigan women have subscribed only 10 per cent of the amount raised. The largest percent of subscriptions of women on the campus at any time since the starting of the venture is less than 50 per cent. "Outsiders have raised 90 per cent of the $600,000 dollars already con- ,ibuted," stated Margaret Nichols, '26, who is heading the drive. "It is up to the students who have only con- tributed 10 per cent of the amount or $60,000, to. show these outsiders iat we recognize the need of the building by subscribing for life mem- berships in the coming campaign." Subscription to a ;life mnmbership Y means the pledging of $50 by the in- dividual which can be paid in install- rnents to suit the convenience of the student. Of the million dollars which must be secured before proceeding to build -.,oue quarter when raised will go for an endowment fund. When once the building is attained, this amount will be set aside for its maintenance and will do away with the necessity of going into debt for running expenses. The. late Mr. Levi Barbour of De-j troit recognized the need of a wo- man's building by donating Barbour Ogymnasium at the time when only .400 wvomen were at Michigan. Nowl with an enrollnent of 3,000 women' students the need of a center for wo- men's activities becomes even more apparent. A team of 75 women gave been in- structed to participate in the cam-! paign which will start Tuesday, Feb. 9 and last until the following Friday. Preliminary to the campaign proper a mass meeting of all solicitors will be held Monday, Feb. 8, immediately upon the opening of the new term. Luncheons have been held at the W., A. A. tea room during the past week for the purpose of acquainting the captains and solicitors with the cam- paign. Each solicitor on' the team will be responsible for covering three league houses and will report for each individual living there. Margaret McNally, '26, is assistant chairman of the drive. Laura Osgood, '28, will have charge of soliciting wo-' African, lying under a cocoanut tree waiting for the cocoanuts to drop off into his mouth, the people there are so fast that they are actually a day ahead of the Americans," said Pauline Bridgman, '27, whose home is if Cape Town, South Africa. "It is Monday night there when it is Mon-! day morning here," said Miss Bridg- man. "Social life is far more extensive than Ameicans ever imagine, there be- ing theaters and many other forms of entertainment. Before girls leave high school they never appear in so- i ciety, however, and then their moth- ers have a coming out party for them. After this they are allowed to do up their hair and go in company with boys. The- South African girl is dif- ferent from the American girl in many respects," continued Miss Bridg- man. She scorns rouge, powder and dates until after she has finished high school. Parents do much more entertaining for their children than the American parents do, probably be- cause it can be done so cheaply. One can get servants for $12 a month and some of them can be hired for as low as $2. "There is no co-education in South Africa but even though the schools are segregated, boys and girls have opportunity to meet each other atl these social affairs given by theirI parents as well as by means of ath-1 letics. This perhaps is the main in-' terest of the South African young peo-l ple," said Miss Bridgman, "the girlst contesting against the boys in base- ball, tennis and other games.' Miss Bridgman further stated that she was very much surprised upon picking up an American newspaper1 for the first time. "The Englishmane likes his news fed to him gently and' the American likes to get a thrill thel minute he picks up the paper. The j' newspaper in South Africa never hasI a streamer head and other headlinesI are very conservative. The whblef first section of the paper is advertis- ing and it is not until the reader I turns to the second section of the pa-1 per that he comes to the news. Miss Bridgman will leave for hera NTICES Vacations during the holidays which were arranged for the foreign students of the University by the A.. A. U. W. under the direction of Mrs. E. R. Vander Slice of Lansing, af- forded opportunity for observation of American family life, and resulted in! varied comparisons with families of other countries. The Japanese, according to Hide Shohara of Tokyo, would sacrifice anything to promote family name and line. "Before the age of marriage the girls of Japan are allowed as much freedom as American girls, but if the parents of the Japanese girls have de-; sirable young men in mind as suitors the daughters do not have very much to say about it. Life for women in Japan is under- going a period of transition and every phase now presents two sides. Jap- anese architecture, Miss Shohara says, is responsible for the stay-at- home Japanese lady. The houses are built with doors all around which are opened during the day time so that if women leave the house it is very easi- ly robbed. The mode of architecture I is being revolutionized which, while spoiling the picturesque beauty of old Japanese landscapes, is; sufficiently, practical to warrant the change. "I hope Japanese women will go out more now that so many diversions are being offered at the theaters. Japanese, women should learn from Americans how to take care of their homes so that they will have time to go out forI activities without straining themselv- es. As conditions are now the man-! aging of a middle class home appears so very complicated to the Japanese housewife that her whole time is giv- en to it.' Difference in the expression of cor- diality is noticed by Miss Shorhara. "The Japanese do not seem so press- home next summer, spending aboutr five months in New York before sail- ing. She will sail to Europe where she is to meet her father and she will spend a year there before returning to Africa. She lives in a city with a population of more than 150,000 in- habitants not counting colored peo- ple. ed for time as the Americans. When we call in our country we just sit and' talk for hours, while if we pay a visit in America we must always think how long we should stay." Chinese people like to stay at home more than Americans, Miss Ao Dju, of Peking, China, has decided after spending her Christmas vacation in Russellville, Ind. "I admire Americ- an families for the way they work," she stated. "In China the middle class families have so many servants that they attempt very little of the duties connected with running a house." Arbor Grow!"
