SCHROEDER CHAIRMAN
Those Who Have Earned Five
W.A.A. Points to be
Admitted.tI
The Women's Athletic Associa-
tion officially opened its spring
membership drive last Thursday
with the appointment of a new
membership committee, which will
work with Dorothy Ellsworth, '32,
treasurer, during the campaign.
Gladys Schroeder, '33, is chair-
man of the membership commit-
tee, and will be assisted by Beatrice
Olmstead, '33, Corrine Fries, '34,
Josephine Fisher, '32, Lydia Sey-
mour, '34, Frances Manchester, '34,
Eleanor Allen, '34, and Elizabeth
Cooper, '34Ed.,
This committee will be in the
W. A. A. office on the main floor of;
the League building after 3 o'clock
next Tuesday afternoon, and will
answer any questions about the or-
ganization and admit toumember-
ship those who have earned the
five W. A. A. points requisite to
membership and who pay the mem-
bership fee of one dollar.
Activity Requires Five Points.
All women registered in the Uni-
versity are inactive members of
W. A. A., and' may become active
members by earning five W. A. A.
oints and paying the membership
fee. W. A. A. points may be earned
by hiking, by participating in ma-
jor and minor sports, tournaments,
the annual horse shbW and dance
drama, and by attendance at the
outdoor parties sponsored by the
organization.
Membership in the association
offers opportunities for leadership
and healthful recreation through
the traditions it sponsors, such as
the Penny Carnival, Lantern Night,
and Freshman Play Day, and
through its more strictly social ac-
tivities such as skiing and tobag-
goning parties, breakfasts at the
fire place, and hikes.
The organization of W. A. A. is
made up of four officers, and an
executive board composed of rep-
resentatives of each major and
minor sport on the campus. Each
sport chairman manages her activi-
ty during its season, arranging in-
tramural and interclass tourna-
ments, and co-operating generally
with the physical education depart-
ment for women. The other mem-
bers of the executive board are the
publicity manager, the point re-
corder, the intramural manager,
the outdoor manager, and the A. C.
A. C. W. representative.
Members May Wear Jacket.
Members of W. A. A. are permit-
.ted to wear the regulation jacket,
of dark blue flannel, with class
numerals or awards on the pocket.
These 'jackets may be or de r e d
through the treasurer, Dorothy
Ellsworth.
"Taking as its standard 'Athletics
for All'," states Helen Domine, '31,
p r e si d e n t of the organization.
"W. A. A. is striving to build up a
constructive program of sports in
which every woman student may
find a place."
A chart explaining the point sys-
tem and awards is printed in the
"M" book, a copy of which may be
obtained at the W. A. A. office.
"In more than one way does the
University at Oxford differ from
our American University," stated
Prof. Arthur Lyon Cross of the his-
tory department who has visited
Oxford several times. "As to the
English woman, she has entirely
different ideas of work, entertain-
ment, and dress,"
Professor Cross continued with a
description of the woman under-
graduate at Oxford. She is quite
serious and mature and very de-
termined. She is most often a plain
looking individual, for the sombre
black of the regulation- cap and
gown which she wears detracts
from her appearance.
Bicycle is Popular Vehicle.
The bicycle is the popular ve-1
hicle in England and the English
woman rides her bicycle to and
from the lecture halls which are
the campus buildings. Attendance
at lectures is not compulsory and
she may go to classes whenever it
pleases her.I
"Although the Oxford woman de-I
votes most of her time to her stud-
ies, she takes a great interest in
athletics and afternoon teas," as-,
serted Professor Cross. Sports are
the English woman's forte. She is
proficient in tennis, golf, lacrosse,
hockey, and rowing. After an en-
ergetic game or two, she goes to
the men's "diggings" with the pro-
per chaperonage and has her af-
ternoon tea.
At eleven o'clock the college gates
close and all women must be in.
Program Featured at
Black Quill Meeting
Reading of manuscripts by two of
their members formed the program
of the Black Quill meeting which
was held last week in the Cave
room at the League building.
Shirley Olmsted, grad., read one
dealing with cross-sections of life
and the other one,. a humorous one
about Saint Patrick's Day was read
by Eleanore Corcilius, '31.
The rest of the meeting was tak-
en up in formulating plans to in-
vite members of the faculty and
students to speak at future meet-
ings.
ifortense Seibel, '32, was accepted
into the club as a new member.
t Dr. Arthur E. Wood, professor
of sociology, will discuss social
aspects of the eapital punish-
ment bill at the open meeting
sponsored by the League of Wo-
men Voters at 2:30 o'clock Wed-
nesday afternoon in the Michi-
gan League building.
Prof. Wood, who is especially
interested in the progressive and
liberal side of legislation, will
deal with the effect of the bill
on society rather than its legal
significance.
The meeting is open to the
public, and those who attend are
asked to look at the bulletin
board for the room in which it
will be held.

mittee for the Junior Girls' Play of

programs, and a chairman of prop-
erties. Nominations will be made by
a nominating committee consisting
of the class representatives of the
League board, but additional nomi-
nations may be made from the
floor.
"Caucusing will be regarded as a
serious offense," stated Ruth Van
Tuyl, '31, chairman of the Judiciary
council. "Any evidences of it will
be disciplined by removal from eli-
gibility fog office holding and vot-
ing, and further measures will be
taken by the council.
Miss Van Tuyl will preside at the
meeting, and Dean Alice Lloyd will
also be present. Emily Bates, '32
will talk briefly on the duties of the
various chairmen.

two consecutive hours free. This
year we plan to definitely divide the
1 students into three groups, begin-
ners, intermediate, and superior, in
all the sports so that players of
about the same ability will play to-
gether," she stated.

Johnston to Instruct
Womens Fencing Class
Women's Fencing, for the first
time under the direction of John
Johnston, varsity fencing coach, is
now in full swing. This is the first
year the University has given fenc-
ing such an extensive push, ranking
it among the most popular outside
activities.
This has been strongly recom-
mended to those women who are
interested in asthetic dancing as a
means of developing graceful move-
ments.
