Tire Thief's Victim
Rebuked By Robber
RICHMOND, Va.-()-A thief took
a tire from the automobile of a
Richmond woman, then added insult
to injury. He left two notes on the
car's windshield, both of which were
interspersed with profanity.
The notes, with certain omissions
read: "You dumb fool. Whoever gave
you a driver's permit for this pile of
junk. You should give it to the junk
man if he will have it because it isn't
worthy anything except getting in
other people's way. Next time, I am
going to take your fenders off this
car."
The notes were signed "The Boss."

Houses AdoptI
War Policies.
Resident Heads Meet To Plan
And Report On New Activities
The house presidents of every wo-
men's dormitory, sorority and league
house of the University had their first
meeting of the year in the Grand
Rapids Room of the League. Lorraine
Judson, '43, president of Judiciary
Judiciary Council, had the chair and
reported to the gathering what the
newly formulated policy. of University
women in regard to war work is to
be.
The first step is to be a stricter atti-
tude toward the keeping of quiet
hours in all places of residence. All
infringements are to be reported to
the Committee by the president of
each house and offenders are to be
subject to court-martial by that body.
Junior Project Planned
Charlotte Thompson, '43, president
of the League Council, told the meet-
ing about the prospective junior pro-
ject of a large bond and stamp sale
to be conducted by women of the jun-
ior class.
Nancy Filstrup, '43, president of
the W.A.A., spoke of a possible future
compulsory physical fitness program
for women and suggested that the
house presidents urge their groups to
participate in voluntary sports, say-
ing that it was hoped that a wide re-
sponse would make compulsory action
necessary.
Assembly Board Enlarged
Better representation for League
House women at the League in the
future was announced by Jean Con-
way, '43, head of the League House
group. Three more women are to be
added to Assembly Board, all to be
elected from League Houses and jun-
iors may petition for the posts.
The final speaker at the meeting
was Miss Ethel McCormick, social
director of the League, who spoke of
the need for voluntary workers in
many fields of war work and of the
opportunity of women to enlist in a
2 hour credit Nurses' Aide course.
Women may sign up for all types of
war work at the social director's office
in the League.
The next meeting is to take place
next Friday.
Change Is Made
In Class Program
For Nurses' Aides
Hoping to interest more girls in the
course, the hours of the Nurses' Aides
classes have been changed. All classes
will now be held from 7 p. m. to 9
p. m. on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday evenings.
This was decided in the first meet-
ing of this course held at 4 p. m.,
Monday in the Red Cross headquar-
ters in North Hall. Offering 2 hours
of Academic credit, the course has a
special instructor to teach the girls so
that they can help the hospital staff.
Only 15 of the necessary 60 girls
have signed up thus far for the
course, which is under the direction
of the Red Cross. Mrs. Henry Vaughn
is supervising the work.

Petites IPommes de Terre
Within the confines of campus society-within the group within a group
setup, there is a small, esoteric clique which gets practically no attention
from its colleague groups, and which, heaven knows, deserves it if ever a
hardy, staunch band of pioneers did.
The particular informal organization of which we speak is the Com-
position Course enrollees, and what started us to thinking about them, as
an old columnist friend of ours would say, was the wailing moan of a pro-
fessor who told us, in the deepest of despair, that the war was, if anything,
(and in contradiction of his hopes) helping to swell the writing courses'
instead of turning students' energies to diverse fields. The war, it seems,
instead of making the English majors realize that life is real and
life is earnest, is, instead just giving them a great, big, broad, un-
cultivated new area into which they may release their self-
expression, as it were.
We felt slightly hurt at his remark, having personally, on
our classification card a large, juicy number which is indicated
in the catalogue as nothing less than a good, old composition
course, and, naturally, we can find no fault with our own wish
to express ourself. We do think though that the other dratted
English majors ought to feel that life is real and life is earnest. e
However, the fact remains that comp classes are swelling and so, in
deference to all newcomers to our happy little band, perhaps a description
of the Richer Way of Life which one finds in writing courses should be made.
In the first place, you'll have to understand at the very beginning that
to all composition-course-takers, life is to be thought of in terms of grimness
and emptiness and vile, pawing bourgeois humanity, and back hall bedrooms
which smell of old cabbage and strong lye soap and flat, rasping voices and
Oh God, what's the use of it all?
After you have allowed this rather complex feeling to burgeon in your-
self, you are ready to face your first class period. The popula-
tion of the class will consist of a strong, central body of persons
who are merely getting the composition credits, requisite to their
major. Disregard them; their hearts and souls are not attuned
to grimness and emptiness. There will be a sprinkling of young
men and women who will, in the progress of the semester, let it
be known that the pure, clear flame from Moscow is all they are
living for, and they, too, are not feeling properly futile, and are
consequently not one of the Group. The authenticity of the real
Grade 1, unhappy boys may be determined by the frequency
with .which they talk about Hemingway and verissimilitude, and the infre-
quency with which they will mention Li'l Abner or the Atlantic Charter.
One can always pick out odd characters, too, and these will often be-
come your favorites. Our particular pet was a lad who had an idea when
he was a freshman. The idea was "Brother Joe," and evidently it was his
idea for the Decade. Poor little old "Brother Joe" was beaten to a pulp
for six semesters of comp courses. He was made into everything from a boot-
black to a Senate Page Boy, but he remained, with commendable consis-
tency, in a background of the same plot and with all the dear,~
sweet traits of character which we grew to know and love.
The remainder Qf the class will be made up of Michigan
Daily staff members who grow just as desperate for ideas as the
rest of the class, toward the end of the semester, and who inevi-
tably begin to make themselves hated by their colleagues by
submitting their latest editorials for credit.
After this, you may enter comp courses if you wish, friends.
We have warned you properly. Perhaps you feel as we do-
that you are an artist who must express himself. And all of us-
very artistically, of course, can sell real estate together some day.
