Ho WTo Study? Upperclassman
Gives Fr shmen Dubious Reply"
By HELEN BRADY classes, you must find out when they
So you want to know how to study? are. Having accomplished that much,

Comes the dawn of a new Septem-E
ber and Daily hacks return to theirj
desk to prepare an up-to-date ver-e
don of the annual freshman supple-
ment. Veterans of last year's supple-
ment spree detect a number of
changes. There's the change in staffst
an ever so slight change in style, andt
completely eclipsing all these, there's
a change of headlines.
There's a painful story in that
change of headlines. Last year's ver-j
Sion was this: "Britain, France Ask
Czechs to Concede Hitler's Demands."
This year we find that "Major Battle
Looms on Western Front.",
What Is Next?
I feel a typically feminine anti-
pathy to speculating on the outcome,.
of the war. I don't know how long
it'll last, I don't know who has the;
bigger army or air force, I do: know
that Britain has the biggest navy and,
that Germany is plenty good with
submarines, I hope to high heaven
that we don't get in it and am con-
vinced that were fools if we do, but---
I wish I had some idea what Daily
heads will be on the freshman supple-
ment for the next two to ten years.
There are so many possibilities.
Maybe next year we'll read that "Sep-
tember 1 Marks First Anniversary of
History's Shortest War." A bit im-
plausible, but otherwise fine. What
I dread more than anything else is to
find bombastic statements of huge
numbers killed, of cities devastated,
of increasing numbers of countries
being drawn into the conflict.
Vote For Neutrality
There is one headline which must
not appear-"United States Declares
War." As long as every country
bumpkin and every city dude who
values his life or those of his buddies
remains firm in his conviction that
fighting another man's war is neither
philanthropic nor particularly noble,
but absolute foolishness, there is no
danger.
And that's the feeling which I be-
lieve exists and must be preserved
throughout this country.

-or do you? Anyway, it might be
a worthwhile idea to contemplate for
at least a fleeting moment the sub-
ject of studying, in general or specific
or what have you. For, whatever you
may hear of not coming. to college
to glean some knowledge, just the
same there comes a time!
Now let's see-how to study, in
three easy lessons. First of all, there's,
the study schedule, old stand-by from
way back. Many's the student (?)
who has slaved hours over the sched-
ule, placing this assignment's com-
pletion here, or there, but, after all,
success comes only to 'the worthys,
and you can't get anywhere, at least
anywhere that's very noteworthy,
without application.
Out Of The Haze
Now, in order to make out a study
schedule you must first figure Iut
how many classes you have. That
is really quite simple, and, for the
all the haze and uncertainty you en-
counter in registering, you somehow
manage to come out with classes. So,
if you have figured out that you have
four classes, you are doing pretty
well, and have a head start on a lot
of us.
Now, here you are with four classes,
and believe us, you are pretty luckyt
freshmen, with just four classes. In
fact, you should have no trouble, no
not a bit, in figuring out that sched-,
ule. Well, you might say, if we won't'
have any trouble, what are you talk-
ing about? And there you have us!
Vacant Hours?
But we are really interested in
helping-even if we aren't quite sure
ourselves what it's all about. Now,
to continue, after you have brilliant-
ly discovered that you have four

it is almost an easy task to find your
vacant hours. And that's the ob-
ject of all this, to discover the vacant
hours, for that should really be the
time for your studying, no .matter
what you hear.
Now, we don't like to be dogmatic,
don't get us wrong, but we think
that you should study at least five
hours for every day's assignient. Be-
fore you let out a heart-wringing
groan, let us quickly put in that you,
don't have classes every day. Just

Sup*port Of Campus women Needed
For The. New WARL Swimming Pool

By CLARA LENFESTEY
"Support the women's swimming
pool fund" is the motto that you new
Michigan women will adopt after you
have explored the extensive athletic
plant of this University and found,
much to your amazement, that there
has been no provision made since
1897 for a woman's swimming pool
at this University.-.
In 1897 there was built in Barbour
Gymnasium a small tiled pool, that
reaches a depth of not over five and
one-half, feet and is approximately.
12 yards in length. That pool is still
used today to take care of the over-
flow of students who cannot be ac-
commodated during the woman's
physical education swimming class
periods in the Union pool.
It is only through the cooperation
of the Michigan Union board that
the women in this University are
able to have classes in a standard
size pool. A pool in which a person
can swim more than 24 feet with-
out heading into a tiled wall-a pool
which provides diving facilities and
sufficient water for the teaching of
life-saving skills.
"The generosity of the Union board

1>

in permitting women the use of the
Union pool has been unlimited," said
Dr. Margaret Bell, Director of the
Woman's- Physical Education De-
partment and head of the Univer-
sity Women's Medical Service, in an
expression of her appreciation of the
cooperation given the Woman's
Physical Education Department in
regard to its swimming classes.
Need Is Recognized
As expressed by Fielding H. Yost,
Director of the University's Board of
Athletics, "It is an outrage that with
the wonderful modern athletic plant
and facilities of the University there
has been no provision made for a
new woman's swimming pool."
Mrs. Irene . Johnson, president of
the University of Michigan Alumnae,
said in expressing her opinion as to
the need for a pool, "there is a decid-
ed inadequacy of swimming facilities
for women on this campus."
The University of Michigan Alum-
nae Association is one of the many
organizations connected with the
University which have already con-
tributed and are continuing to con-
tribute to the cause. The Alumnae

organization has pledged 5,000 dollars
and according to Mrs. Lucille Conger,
executive secretary of the Alumnae,
"hopes eventually to contribute
more."
Other organizations which have
actively supported the pool fund are:
the Michigan League, the Michigan
Union, the Men's Dormitory Commit-
tee, the Varsity swimming team, J-
Hop Committees and Freshmen
Frolic committees.
Authorized plans have been drawn-
up in the Office of University Plant
Extensions, according to Dr. Bell.
They await only the completion of
the necessary funds to start building
operations.
Funds To Be Raised
Projects will be held this year to
raise funds for the pool. Support of
these projects by women on campus
will enable contractors to put in their
building bids at an earlier date.
According to Dean Alice C. Lloyd,
Dean of Women, "with the enthusi-
asm of all the women on the cam-
pus, the campaign for the pool should
meet with early success."
