those who work for board and room.
Secondly, they plan to eliminate the
class projects for the duration so that
every student will have ample time
to carry on war work, along with her
academic schedule and physical fit-
ness prograri. Most important, tra-
ditional class projects are being re-
placed by group war projects, thereby
maintaining class unity and spirit as
far as possible.
Freshmen To Buy Stamps
Freshman women held a mass
meeting at the League last week. Foi
their project they have pledged to
buy one dollar's worth of defense
stamps each month, and to provide
entertainment, parties or dance
classes for the defense training camp
at Cassidy Lake, once a month. Many
freshmen are registered as bookkeep-
pers, stenographers and typists to as-
sist the CDVO. And freshmen have
done their part in registering for de-
fense classes such as First Aid, and
Home Nursing.
Sophomore Project was the first
class project to be organized this
year. A committee of fourteen women
have charge of the Sophomore Serv-
ice, which provides volunteer hospi-
tal help daily from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30
p.m. The total numbers registered
with this group are incomplete, but
the turnout was gratifying and in-
cluded a few juniors and seniors who
desired to offer their services.
Stamps, Bonds To Be Sold
Plans are under way for organiza-
tion of the project for junior women.
They are to be in charge of the sale
of stamps and bonds in all women's
houses and at the campus booth on
the corner of State and N. University
Street. Juniors, too, have registered
for war courses and for the CDVO.
Seniors are planning to organize
a station in the Michigan League to
make surgical dressings. They have
registered for Nurse's Aide and other
Red Cross classes.

course is granted to the eight girls
who compile the lowest scores for
their nine holes. The girls with the
lowest returns constitute the Michi-
gan women's regular team and the
next four girls with low scores com-
prise the second team of the Uni-
vesity women's golf team.
Miss Bathke is the only remaining
'41-'42 member of the first team, and
Lenore Bode, '44 and Barbara Wal-
lace, '45Ed, are all who are left of the
second team, so the race for positions
on the teams is almost wide open.
Freshmen, too, can participate in this
activity, since they are considered
eligible for all sports.
Women
And The War
By BEA BOUCHAtD
An outstanding contributor to
Michigan's part in the winning of the
war is Mrs. Frederick A. Colle, chair-
man of the Volunteer Special Services
in the Ann Arbor Red Cross.
Mrs. Coller, wife of Dr. Frederick
A. Coller who is professor of surgery
and chairman of the department of
surgery, heads that division of the
Red Cross which includes motor corps,
canteen corps, home service, (that
service which handles transportation
between the soldier and his home),
nurse's aide, hospital and recreation
(which is chiefly occupational ther-
apy for wounded soldiers), and staff
assistance and production.
A Full Time Job
Unceasing attention is required in
this full-time job and Mrs. Coller not
only is the mainstay of her division
but of the entire unit as well. She has
held her position in the. Red Cross
since the unit was established here
two years ago and had its quarters
in a section of the old Administration
Building. She has seen the Red Cross
unit grow from a peace time organi-
zation, established for the purpose of
aiding foreign war victims to a full-
time national war organization.
Mrs. Coller was asked to accept her
post by the president of the Red Cross
board of directors on the basis of the
other outstanding work she has done
for her community. She was elected
by her ward to the County Board of
Supervisors, which post she still
holds, the only woman of the board of
33 members.
Served At U. Hospital
In addition she has served on the
Infantile Paralysis Board at the Uni-
versity Hospital, and had charge of
the Ann Arbor Flower Show the two
years that it was held at the Yost
Field House, and has served on the
Public Health Commission.
Dr. Coller, the other half of this
combination, is chairman of the First
Aid division and has-done outstanding
work. He has rewritten the National
Red Cross handbook and has set up a
standard in this community equalled
by none in the country since all First
Aid Instructors here are M. D.'s.
And A Housewife
Mrs. Coller as well as several other
faculty women are remarkable models
for their community and nation at
war. They are housewives, all faced
with a problem of help shortage, who
spend the entire daylight hours, as
well as hours in the evening, serving
their country in the present crisis.
Although the Red Cross has made
terrific progress in the last two years,
Mrs. Coller says they can still use any
volunteers.
Meeting For Riders!
First ride for all old and new mem-
bers of Crop and Saddle Club, W.A.A.
Riding Club, will be at 5 p.m. tomor-
row, and all those attending must
meet at that time at Barbour Gym.
Transportation will be provided,
and it is imperative that all members
call Sybil Graham, '44, president of
the club, by noon Wednesday, in or-
der that the horses be ordered.
A mass meeting of all girls inter-
ested in working on the House
Committee of the League will be
held at 4:30 p. m. at the League.
Please consult the builletin board
for the room reserved for the meet-
ing.
Wyvern Taps
Seven Prominent
Junior Women
Clad in their distinctive yellow
sweaters, brown skirts and huge yel-
low hair bows, members of Wyvern,
junior honorary society for women,
marched through sororities and dor-
mitories last night at dinner time to
tap seven junior women into their
organization.
Chanting their marching song, the
Wyvernians marched Indian fashion
in and out among tables, finally stop-
ping behind the chair of the chosen
girl. After the tapping, new and old
members went back to the League for
dinner given by their adviser, Mrs.
Byrl Bacher.
The new girls, chosen on the basis
of participation in extra-curricular
activities, scholarship and citizenship,
are Francis Vin, Gamma Phi Beta;
Mary Brownrigg, Martha Cook, Phyl-
lis Present, Alpha Epsilon Phi; Jean
Whittemore, Delta Delta Delta; Bar-
bara Smith, Mosher; Geraldine Sta-
dleman, Chi Omega; and Mona
Heath, Kappa Kappa Gamma.
Positions on the League Dance
Class committee are still open for
any girl interested and eligible.
Call Audrey Johnson immediately.
The next committee meeting will
be 5 p.m. Friday at the League.
Heroism Of Chinese Women
Described By Michigan Student
By BETTY LEWIS
The sacrifices of the Chinese wo-
men, who are making every possible
effort to help their country, should
be a lesson to the world, declared
Miss Sui Tsung Chen, 45, from Shang-
hai, China, in an interview yesterday.
The more daring women of China
join guerrilla bands, said the Chinese
student. She mentioned in particular
"the woman, now famous in China,
who gained the title of 'Mother of
Guerrillas' because, after the Japan-
ese had killed all her sons, she be-
came a teacher of guerrilla warfare."
Miss Chen declared that many girls
of wealthy families have given up
their sheltered ways of living and
joined the guerrillas, some even run-
ning away from home to do so.
The husband 'of one young woman
living at Chungking was an aviator,
who, surrounded by ten Japanese air-
planes, shot down five or six of them
before he himself was killed. His
bride, continued Miss Chen, "put all
her efforts into helping her country,
particularly in -the work of taking
children to shelters during air raids;
but later her leg was bombed off, and,
feeling that she could be of no more
use to her country, she killed herself."
'Women students in China are de-
voting themselves to their country by
studying many more hours per day
than students in America; but in
addition, as Miss Chen pointed out,
"these students all wear clothes )f the
cheapest blue cotton, put on no i 'ake-
up and wear their hair in a plain,
bobbed style." In their free time wo-
men students go out into the ccuntry
to teach and, according to Miss when,
are sent upon graduation to be nurses
and letter-writers for soldiers.
Red Cross work, as in America, is
popular among Chinese women 'n the
interior, Miss Chen says; "women in
this field perform such tasks as kpit-
ting, rolling bandages and sewin- uni-
forms for soldiers."
The women of China expect to do
even more -for their country later,
pointed out Miss Chen, who is lerself
preparing to go back to China even-
tually as a social worker. The people
realize that, much as it has su'fered
already, China will suffer even more
in the future and will need ail the
help in reconstruction that the cour-
ageous, well-trained women of China
can give.

1113 South University'
The house presidents of the wom-
en's dormitories, league houses and
sororities of the University had their
second meeting of the semester 4:30
p.m. Tuesday in the Grand Rapids
Room of the League.
.Two representatives of the Student
Manpower Corps explained to the
group certain features of the campus
drive for scrap collection which the
Corps will conduct during next week.
The three types of women's resi-
dences are to be organized into three
leagues corresponding to three men's
leagues and all six leagues will com-
pete for a trophy.
A report was given on the sale of
war stamps and bonds in dormitories
by Lorraine Judson, '43, who con-
ducted the meeting. Miss Judson re-
ported Mosher-Jordan the leader in
the drive and every freshman pledged
25c a week for stamps.
Miss Judson also gave directions
for arranging for donations of blood
to the Red Cross. The person donat-
ing must present evidence of a Health
Service recheck to the Social Direc-
tor's office and receives a permission
slip to be signed by parents of those
under 21. This done, an appointment
for the donation can be arranged.
Though the traditional Junior
Girls Play has been replaced by a war
bond and stamp selling drive, Miss
Judson announced that Senior Sup-
per will take place as usual, and in
place of the play the Juniors will
present a Junior-Senior bust con-
sisting of songs, dances and skits.
Miss Ethel McCormick, social di-
rector of the League, reported the
donations of a radio and football
for a dayroom at Damp Custer.
Plans of a Saks Fifth Ave.benefit
style exhibition to be held at the
League over Oct. 28-29 were an-
nounced. Saks has promised to do-
nate l0c for every woman attending
the exhibition, admission to which
will be free, to either the Bomber-
Scholarship Fund or the World Stu-
dent Service Fund. The World Stu-
dent Service's activities were de-
scribed' by Jean Westerman, Grad.,
and the Bomber-Scholarship plan
explained by Miss Judson. After some
discussion of the problem by these
at the meeting it was decided that
the money should be given to the
World Student Service organization
by a vote of 27 to 40.
Miss Judson told the meeting that
the Senior Project, a surgical dress-
ings group to be held at the League,
is to be open to women in all classes
who can give two hours a week to
the work, which will begin in about
three weeks.
Announcements were made con-
cerning League House First Aid
meeting places by Miss McCormick,
following which the meeting was ad-
journed.
The next meeting will be held on
Thursday afternoon at 4:30.
