At the first meeting of the year,
Athena planned a general outline of
the coming year's work. For a num-
her o years Athena has spent a great
deal of its time in debating. This year
she plans to spend more time on lit-
crary work including plays, readings,
and book reviews. However, debating
is not to be excluded from its pro-
gram.
The oflicers of Athena are president,
Pauline Zoller '29Ed; vice president,
Alletta Morton '29; secretary, Mar-
garet Sibly '30; treasurer, Morine
Jones, '28; parliamentarian, Florence

'HAIA ILL OFFER NEW'
COURSE IN LEADERSHIP
Training schools are being planned
by the W.A.A. this fall, for Girl Scout
leaders and for Camp Counsellors.
Upperclass women will have prefer-
ence over all others in electing the
courses, though- as many groups as
are necessary to accommodate the
number wishing classes, will be or-
ganized.
Arrangements are being made with
the National Headquarters to hold the
courses on the Michigan campus, a fee
of from $2 to $3 tot be charged for
each course,' which will include from'
7 to 10 meetings.
A poster has been placed on the
bulletin board in Barbour gymnasium
and all girls interested in the courses
are asked to sign it, wlyile all mem-
bers of the Girl Scout organization or
affiliated with it in any way, are re-
quested to call Gladys Appelt at 3318.
Any others - who wish additional in-
formation concerning the work to be
taken up, may also call Miss Appelt.
Further notices about the classes
will be printed in the Daily.
AVERAGE NUMBER OF NEW
PLEDGES IS LOW HERE
The average number of pledges for
each sorority at the university of
Michigan is low compared with those
of other coeducational schools in the
middle west. The University of Indiana
averages about 15 girls pledged to
each sororitys Northwestern came
next, averaging slightly over 12 girls.
Michigan's 21 sororities took in on an
average of 11 pledges. At the Univer-
sity of Illinois at Urbana there is an
average of 10 girls to each Greek
letter organization.
As an example of women being the
stronger sex a French journal cites
the proportion of widows to widowers.

CITY Y.W.C.fA. H AS
RECORD MONTH IN
PLACEMENT DEPT.
August was a busy and successful
month for Ann Arbor's Y.W.C.A., ac-
cording to a report recently issued
by the organization.
The employment department sup-
plied all of the 53 calls for day work.
and of the 43 applications for perman-
ent positions, 30 were filled. This is
the largest percentage of calls to be
supplied in any one month during the
entire year. Registration showed 45
seeking day work and 69 wished
permanent employment. There were
39 people who were not placed, but
these were looking for positions in of-
fices and department stores.
Besides the work done by the em-
ployment department, the association
took care of 163 transient guests,
some of whom stayed for only one
evening, and some remained for the
limit of two weeks. A mother placed
her two daughters, both students, in
charge of the organization until she
was able to join them and complete
the years plans for them.}
Two charity cases, involving women
without funds, were cared for by the,
association, and lodging and financial
asistance were furnished them. i

their houses, not merely a well-devel-
oped sense of cleanliness.
The Dutch girls were a sociable,
wholesome group, some of them pos-
sessed a keen sense of humor. None
of them used cosmetics of any kind
and when they saw the American girls
going through their customary morn-
ing toilette they said, "Why, they even
use powder!"
One morning the Dutch girls an-
nounced that they were all to motor to
the mountains for the day, so they
bundled into busses and off they
drove. After a couple of hours they
came to a little, wooded pinnacle and
got out to walk. Before long they
reached the top. True, they could
see for miles and miles, but the Ameri-
cans though Dutch "mountains" rath-.
er humorous.
On this same drive they stopped at
the town of Nijmwegen, where were
Roman ruins and an interesting castle
which had belonged to Charlemain.
The Dutch girls regretted very much
that the Americans did not have time
to take a bike hike with them. In
Holland people do not have picnics or
outings as often as we do, but at
least once in a summer they like to
spend a week-end bike riding between
their own home and that of some dis-
tant friend. Since Holland is so small
they have friends everywhere. For
such trips as these all luggage is car-
ried on their backs and food is gotten
along the way.
The Dutch girl who acted as guide
during the house party lived in the
Hague. After their stay at Arnhem
several of the Americans visited her
at home.
Dutch city houses are much like
ours. In almost every Dutch home are
several things from the Dutch East
Indies or from Java. The area of Hol-
land is so small that many of the
young men are sent away from home
to seek their fortunes where there is
greater opportunity, and they return
with all sorts .of; curiosities and trea-
sures. One evening during their stay
at the Hague, the girls were seren-
aded by a man who had just returned
from Java. He had a guitar much like
those used in Hawaii, and he sang
Spanish songs to them. It was all
very romantic, this serenade, and the
several countries it represented.
About a two hours' trolley ride from
the Hague is Schevenginen, or
Strand, as it is translated. This is a
pleasure resort where an American or-
chestra plays every evening during
the summer. The Charleston and the
tango are here the most popular
dunces, and drinks of all kinds are
always in order. And all are not
Americans who go there, by any
means.
Women drivers are becoming more
numerous in Berlin at the rate of 120

OF COLLEGE TEAS
Inaugurating the first of a series of

University women, the Advisers to

more than 40 guests from 3:30 to 5
o'clock yesterday in the parlors of

Commenting on ithe plan,. Miss
Beatrice Johnson, who is in charge
of the teas, said: "It is an excellent
idea and a good way for Miss Lloyd,
Miss Richards, and myself to meet
the women from the league houses,
with whom we do not have as much
occasion to come inl contact as the
sororities and dormitories."

Golf Is Best Liked
Of Elective Sports
Golf deserves honorable mention as
the most popular elective sport this
season. Miss McCormick reports
classes totalling 95, while special
groups add about 12 to this number.
Busses leave Barbour gymnasuni for
the University golf course at 2, 3 and
4 o'clock daily. Any. other players,
men as well as women, are privileged
to take the busses. The People's
Motor Bus company is offering this
fine cooperation, which is a result of
the unusual amount of interest which
women are showing in golf this fall.
Attendance at golf classes has bee1n
noticeably regular, and the majority
of players are buying good clubs with
the intention of keeping up the
activity.
The Convent of Ursaline, founded in
1727 at New Orleans, has the honor
