Parliamentary

Law

Session

Women

Will Start

Today

Mortarboard
Will Supervis.e
And Instruct
Classes To Be Held At League;
Will Distribute Rule Booklets1
And Conduct Sample Meetings
If you were conducting a meetingl
and some one should say, "I rise toY
a point of order," what would you
do? Correct procedures will be out-
lined in Motarboard's three-day ses-
sion, giving instructions to campus
women on parliamentary law, whichI
will open at 4:15 p.m. today in the
League, with a general meeting to
present the essential facts.
At' this meeting booklets giving;
handy rules of conduct for meet-
ings will be given out to those at-
tending. The points will be ex-]
plained and briefly illustrated, re-
serving the actual practice in using
them for the model meeting which
will be conducted at 4:15 p.m. to-
morrow.
Sample Meetings Planned
At tomorrow's meeting members of
the audience will get an opportunity
to conduct +sample meetings, or to
participate in them. Those women
holding offices on campus will bene-
fit most directly from a knowledge of
the most efficient methods of con-
ducting meetings. Moreover, there
are many women who, although not
at present holding offices, can expect
to do so in the future. This is es-'
pecially apt to be true with the new
increased importance of the role of
women in civilian life.
The mechanical side of any meet-
ing will progress much more smooth-
ly if those attending have some idea
of what is expected of them, and of
what they can do and when it can
be done. Because of this, Mortar-
board feels that the course will prove
worthwhile for those who merely in-
tend to participate in meetings, as
everyone sooner or later does.
Questions Welcome
At the third session of the course,-
at 4:15 p.m., riday, questions on
ie information and points brought
out in the previous sessions will be
answered. These questions can be
submitted eitherduring thesWednes-
day or-the Thursday session.
Though special invitations have
been sent to activity leaders, the
course has been created to fit the
needs of every woman on campus, ac-
cording to Phyllis Lovejoy, '42, and
Rosebud Scott, '42, chairmen.

Pre-exam activities at the W.A.B. are many and varied; seems like the
campusites are trying to keep physically fit for defense work and for fun
too. Par example, the Fencing Club has arrariged a tournament for 3 p.m.
Sunday at the Sports Building. University fencers and members of the
Grosse Pointe Sword Club are the combatants for this event while other
tourneys will be held in the near future with Michigan State College, Olivet
College and Ohio State University. Doreen Voiles, Mary Reichle and Nan
Church are the members of the weaker (?) sex who will join three members
of the Men's Scimitar Club, honorary fencing society, in shouting "touche"
-(we hope!).
Archers will compete in a winter inter-collegiate meet sponsored by the
Archery Club which is entering Class B event. It will last over a period of
three weeks-those of Feb. 8, 15 and 22. Anyone interested is urged to sign
up on a list on the bulletin board of Barbour Gym by Jan. 28. It is not
necessary to be a club member to enter the tournament. One score will be
sent in to the inter-collegiate headquarters every week, and practice periods
will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesdays on the main floor of Waterman
Gym.
Equipment will be furnished with the exception of arrows, so bring your
own and shoot to win, and for fun, too . . . remember practice on Wednes-
day; meets will be held at the same time also.
The courts at-Barbour are the scene these days of some swampy games,
and we do mean 'swampy' in the sense that you understand, you readers, if,
and we hope there are, some of you!
Delta Gamma did you-know-what to Alpha Omicron Pi, 25-2, Alpha Xi
Delta the same to Alumnac, 28-6, Martha Cook, likewise to Stockwell II,
26-1. Less on the swampy side are Alpha Delta Pi over Ann Arbor Inde-
pendents II, 19-7, Collegiate Sorosis over Couzens II, 16-8, Stockwell I over
Newberry, 22-17. And Phi Sigma Sigma just plain, defaulted to Jordin, 2-0.

Campus Parallels

1942--

How Do The Women Compare?.

By BETTY HARVEY
In 1917, the year the Michigan
Union was merely a deep cellar and
a bright hope, the University was
mobilizing for the First World War.
During this epic year J-Hop as well
as many other traditional affairs
was abandoned-at the end of this
year the present library was partly
completed. This period of change
and adjustment, war fever and an-
xiety, doubt and uncertainty is par-
allel in many ways to the one in
which we, the women of the Univer-
sity of Michigan, find ourselves to-
day. Then as now was there a gen-
eral inventory of abilities and capa-
bilities. Let us look at the campus of
1917-18 and the work of the women
of that day. uperficially, the Upi-
versity was running just as before
and yet nothing was quite the same.
Thousands of students had left as
well as scores of faculty members.
The campus was filled with khaki,
students in military training courses

Furnished Nurses
In that year, twenty-six Ann Ar-
bor nurses went into service and
twelve were in active duty in France.
Two- and three-hour courses were
introduced to the curricula in war
and food, nutrition and laboratory
work. 'Courses in household econom-
ics and conservation of food were
offered, the directors of which were
in direct contact with the food ad-
ministration in Washington.
In the Literary School, such de-
fense courses were offered for creditI
such as The Theory and Practice of
Publicity and the Methods and Prin-
ciples of Government Censorship. In
the department of philosophy, Prof.
R. W. Wenley gave a course on the
moral and spiritual issue of the war.
Women Loaned
A Liberty Loan campaign was en-
tered upon by the League and an
average subscription among, women
was secured, higher than that of the
student body as a whole. Many
women earned their contributions by
taking care of children, tutoring,
clerical work and even helping the
landlady.
Work on surgical dressings at An-
gell House was taken up and girls
were taught the habit of dropping in
for an hour between classes-"hours
at Red Cross" were part of every
University woman's life.
Women Registered -
Women registered for war serv-
ices-did their bit of knitting and
disculssed vehemently the "back to
the land" movement. A military unit
was organized for women, with
training in army tactics and hikes in
the Arboretum as part of its activi-
ties. On review, this unit formed an
official division of the officers Re-
serve Corps.
Movements to cut down on luxuries
and to simplify social life resulted
in entire renunciation of formal par-
ties and the establishment of 8-11:30
dances in women's houses.

of the greatest, controversies in the
history of the University was waged
-whether women could participate
in the Union Opera! This actually
came to pass as well as the awarding
of fifteen Daily positions to women.
Women took over the Inlander and
Gargoyle and even, rumor hath it,
threatened the football team.
The picture of women in the First
World War is one of spirit and ac-
tivity, but, it seems from reports that
mobilization of women was not at
its maximum strength until the be-
ginning of 1918, almost ten months
after our entry! They were willing,
but slow to organize. Their efforts
were so vital after they had gathered
momentum that our generation of
women students can well profit by
their contributions to he coutriry
and the campus and organize our
own efforts with as much speed and
power as possible.
