Time Was When College Life
For Women Meant Al I Books
By JEAN GILMER
When it comes to the matter of
energy-producing foods, it's the little
things in life that count-the mush-
rooms that garnish a juicy T-bone,
the crisp celery, the avocados, oysters,
clams and shrimps that have been
neglected except as appetiser.
They are about to come into their
own at last as a result of the inten-
sive search by nutritionists for new
inexpensive foods, rich in vitamins
and minerals, that will contribute to
American defense through building
up and insuring the health of the
nation.
Value Of Mushrooms
According to a recent magazine
article, mushrooms, which long ago
sold at fabulous prices to delight the
taste of fastidious gourmets, are now
grown as a year-round crop, first in
test tube cultures, then in beds of
sterilized peat moss, and finally in,
air-conditioned tunnels.
This controlled process now pro-
vides the chalky-white food with the
attention it truly deserves, for mush-
rooms have been found to contain
tryspin, a digestive enzyme, consid-
erable potassium, mineral ash, and
ergosterol, while at the same time
adding no calories to the intake of
the conscientious dieter.
We've heard so much about the
cod and halibut, that it is somewhat
of a surprise to learn that the simple
oyster is every bit as capable of sup-
plying the human body with concen-
trated Vitamin A. The little bivalve
drinks a lot of water every day-
over 35 gallons of brine to be exact,
which means it also garners a large
store of iron, phosphorous, aluminum
and iodine.
The Greener, The Better
In case you didn't know, the green-
er the oyster, the more stored energy
it has, and the better it is for human
consumption, or so the scientists tell
us. Doctors evidently think the oys-1
ter is a pretty important little creat-
ure because of his minerals, for over
10 New York hospitals have been
giving an average of 200 dozen oys-
ters a day to their patients.
In case you're planning to have
an appendectomy, you'd better hurry
up and acquire a fondness for oysters,
as you may get them for an exclusive
diet three days before and three
days after, mainly because the oyster
seems to be the only animal food
the human body can completely ab-
sorb and put to use.
Since the American public is go-
ing ta' get plenty of oysters in its
diet, now that their high mineral
value has been ascertained, a new
type of farm is in line for booming
business. Because oysters are plant-
ed and harvested with as much at-
tention as a field of corn, modern
and scientific underseas farms all
along the Atlantic coast will be work-
ing overtime as their contribution to
the campaign to build up Ameri-
can health, and thereby, national
defense, through energy-producing
foods.

Just the thing for second night
at J-Hop is this very flattering
crepe dress. With its tiny waist-
line and full skirt it can't help
but do wonders for your figure.
The flowered top with full sleeves
and plunger neck-line caught in a
huge button gives this frock a
freshness of spring, while the dark
skirt keeps it appropriate for this
late winter season. The matching
pompador hat with draped effect
suitable for women with long hair,
completes the costume.
TO START NEW SERIES
Proposing to remove the hazy
aura of glamour which often sur-
rounds some of the more exciting
and unusual occupations open to
women, a series of articles, dis-
cussing the various aspects of sev-
eral careers to show just what they
do involve, will be presented on
this page.
Qualifications in the way of
requirements, education, person-
ality, training, experience, work-
ing conditions, salaries and oppor-
tunities for advancement will be
outlined in this series in which the
jobs of various women who have
become outstanding in their par-
ticular fields will be described by
Jean Gilmer and Barbara DeFries.

ally, gang, this is one of your last
chances to be your own normal selves
-meaning exams, of course-so

today.I
By DOROTHY BLICKE
Formerly "female education" was
not regarded as one of father's
assorted methods and means of see-
ing that daughter was able to per-
manently leave the old homestead;
in other words, college hasn't always
been regarded as a marriage institu-
tion.
The first college in this country
to admit that women might be able
to assimilate a little weightier knowl-
edge than that dealing with the
neatest way to sew a fine seam was
Oberlin College in Ohio.
In 1837 four women enrolled as
freshmen in this school, three of
these educational adventurers com-
ing from the East and one being so
original as to come from Oberlin it-
self.
The courses that these women took
weren't what would constitute the
modern definition of a mental vaca-
tion. The freshmen warmed up with
Cicero, Xenophon, Acts of the Apos-
tles in Greek, and other such likely
subjects. Later they moved on to
Latin, Hebrew, mathematics, logic,
rhetoric, natural philosophy and even
I sacred music!
The women also led a rather stren-
uous life outside the classroom. They
leaped out of bed at 5 a.m. and dur-
ing the course of the day would serve
meals, clean their own rooms, and
even clean the men's dorms as part
of the daily schedule. Many of these
girls earned money (2/4 cents an
hour) for washing and mending the
clothes of the young men at Oberlin.
However, the popular belief that
all work and no play makes Jane a
dull girl, was prevalent even in these
benighted times, so the Oberlin wo-
men were able to find some lighter
recreation in the form of extracur-
ricular activities. These included a
woman's literary society, the Oberlin
Female Moral Reform Society and
the Co-educational Musical Union.
However, in the course of a hun-
I dred years or so, college life and col-
lege women have changed slightly.
Co-educational schools have been
caustically called matrimonial marts;+
the courses usually elected by wo-
men deal with more modern sub-
jects; rarely does any college woman
whip out of bed before 7:39 a.m. at
Oberlin or any other place; and ac-I
cording to the latest figures, the
O.F.M.R.S. (Oberlin Female Moral
Reform Society) is just another
memory.
Series Of Sessions
On Law Procedure
Will Close Today
The last in a group of three ses-
sions of instructions in the princi-
ples of parliamentary law, sponsored
by Mortarboard for the benefit of
women on campus, will be held at
4:15 p.m. today in the League.
The sessions were started because
of the noticeable lack of knowledge
in parliamentary procedure among
women on campus, both leaders and
those who merely take part in meet-
ings.' All questions on parliamentary
procedure and on ,the method of
conducting meetings will be an-
swered at today's session.
Mortarboard has had printed small
booklets with all the main points of
parliamentary procedure outlined in
them.

This year's fashion demands odd
jewelry and other accessories which
reflect the spirit of foreign cultures.
Ann Arbor women have now the op-
portunity before them to acquire such
articles. The Russian War Relief
Bazaar will have on sale many of
these different objects.
A few of the items of this sort are
embroidered belts from Yugoslavia,
jewelry, and hand blocked scarfs
from Rumania. The belts are decor-
ated with little men and women dan-
cers.
All Strictly Russian
Other objects at the bazaar will
be truly Russian. There will be Rus-
sian candies, both hard and soft
varieties, Russian playing cards, and
of special interest, a seven candle
candelabra.
All these articles may be pur-
chased at the bazaar which will be
held this Saturday from 2:30 to 6:30
p.m. and from 7:30 to 11:30 in the
Grand Rapids Room of the Michigan
League.
For Medical Supplies
This bazaar is being sponsored by
the student division of the Russian
War Relief Society, so that funds
may be raised to buy medical sup-
plies for the Russian Army.
In conjunction with the bazaar,
the 7-11 Club will hold a dance in
the neighboring Kalamazoo Room.
Here, again the atmosphere will be
Russian with the setting and decora-
tions portraying the mood of this
culture.
Auctioneer Mike Dann
As an added feature, an auction
will be held in the room of the bazaar.
Myron Dann, '43, has been elected to
fill the post of auctioneer for the
occasion.
This bazaar is only the beginning
of the activities of the committee.
They will also start a drive for funds
Saturday, and all students and cam-
pus organizations will be asked to
donate.
