Will 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. 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. iSELECT CHAIRMEN Five Members of Central Staff for Next Year's Play Will be Named. Five members of the central com- mittee for the Junior Girls' Play of 1932 will be elected when the soph- omore women hold a meeting at 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon in the Lydia Mendelssohn theatre of the League. These committee heads will begin work on next year's play at an early date, and other chair- men will be added later on. The sophomore women will choose a general and assistant chairman, a business manager, a chairman 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.
