Their central planning commission is designed to represent all women students and all women's activities. It consists of seventeen members on the undergraduate or League Council, who hold meetings once a week; the nine members of the stu- dent war committee or war activities committee for women, which also meets weekly and whose chairman is a member of the League Council; and the house president's association. Nine dormitory presidents, nineteen sorority presidents and 53 league house presidents serve on the asso- ciation, which meets twice a month or more often if necessary. The plans approved by these gov- erning organizations are threefold.

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. Enjoy golfing? Lowest Scores Earn Free Play If you would like to be among the lucky eight to take free trips around the University Golf Course next spring, see Barbara Bathke, '45, man- ager of the Pitch and Putt Club, dur- ing the club's next meeting at 4:15 p. m. tomorrow at the W. A. B. The only requirements for this privilege of playing free is to play nine holes of golf this fall and turn in the score to Miss Bathke as soon as possible. The privilege of playing without paying at the University. 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.

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.
