League Committee 'Checks Up' Reservations Due On Women's Activities Records "" Capel By MARGARET WALSH The "check-up week" which the merit system committee hasvbeen conducting brings to the Univers" y woman's mind the long period of ser- ice which this committee has ren- dered to women students. Organized in 1913 by members of Mortar Board, the merit system com- nittee's chief function was to re- :,rd on each woman's card the acti- 7'ties she had participated in during :er college career. Soon after this, the group evolved the system of merit points similar to that now employed in the League. According to this system the amount of work that each member of the' League has done is recorded, as well as the particular activities she has participated in. Last year a larger card was intro- duced into the ever more complex system used by the League on which are recorded personal comments about the individual from various coimittee chairmen under whom Reservations tcw the Communion Breakfast to be held at 11 a.m..Sun- classes of 1942 and 1943 have such day at the, Catholic Student Chapel photographs in the files. !should be made before 6 p.m. today, The latest innovation in the sbs- said Arthur Foley, '41, chairman. tem is the third card, or "hobby".'

At the end of the year these cards will be checked, so that the committee may see whether or not the plan has been successful. All cards are kept for a year or two after the individual has gradu- ated, as the cards have been found. extremely useful for references to anyone applying for a job. Many employers write and ask specific in- formation about graduates of the University, and this may be found on the cards. The new "personal comment" cards should be of even greater assistance in this respect. Regular Monday Afternoon Bridge at the Michigan League PIVOT or DUPLICATE 2 P.M. Fee: 25c Mrs. James J.
