From Reorganized Theatre Arts
Seniors will hold a mass meeting for
the first League project in which they
have ever participated at 4:30 p. m.
today in the League ballroom.
They have chosen to sponsor a sur-
gical dressing unit station in the game
room of the League. The project ful-
fills the purpose of supplying the in-
creasing demand for army and navy
bandages.

mittee has been reorganized for the
duration, part of that committee, un-
der the general chairmanship of Mar-
jorie Storkan, '43, will be in charge
of the senior. surgical dressing unit.

mittee, appointed by League Council,

tant chairman and equipment chair-
man; Sally Walsh, '43, attendance
chairman; Martha Kinsey, '45, ship-
per; Mary-Leigh Hughes, '44, receiver

'44, publicity.
Following the mass meeting today,
work will begin at 1 p. m. until 4 p.m.
tomorrow, and will continue during
the same hours on Thursdays and Fri-
days of each week, until enough girls
are trained to supervise on more days.
Volunteers May Register
All those who wish to work on the
surgical dressing unit, including girls
of other clases as well as seniors, may
sign up at their respective houses, at
today's mass meeting, or when they
come to work tomorrow.
At present, there are 20 girls who
are being trained Tuesday and
Wednesday afternoons in the Rack-
ham Building to act as supervisors
for the unit. These include the six
girls on the central committee and
Mary Ellen Alt, '43, Shirley Altfield,
'43, Britta Bonazzi, '43, Jean Gilmer,

pel, '44, Janet Lewin, '43, Dorothy
Mayer, '43, Betty Ann Neal, '43, Har-
riet Pratt, '43, Martha P'esto, '43,
Dena Stover, '43, and Joy Wright, '43.
Uniforms Required .
Light-colored wash dresses will be
the required uniforms. Sweaters and
skirts are not perriissible unless they
are covered by long-sleeved smocks.-
Heads must be covered by the regula-
tion headdress worn like a straight
band across the forehead and veiled
in back to the shoulders, covering all
the hair. The only nail polish that
may be worn is bright red, freshly
applied.
In previous years seniors have been
the only class to have no project, be-
cause they have been too busy with
other senior activities. This year they
are adjusting themselves to war con-
ditions by participating in the
League's effort of "All-out for War."
All Urged to Help
Every senior girl is asked to volun-
teer her services for the project. Other
girls, no matter what their classes, are'
urged to help also. Each volunteer is
exp'ected to work at least two hours a
week.

Ruth Mitchell, American Chetnik,
To Relate Valiant Story Tuesday.
By SHIRLEY RAKtY
Escaping from the clutches of Nazi
prison camps, Ruth Mitchell "lives to
tell the tale," and will be presented
to Ann Arbor in the third lecture of
the oratorical series on Tuesday at
Hill Auditorium.
Her lecture will be entitled "Odys-
sey Through Hell."
Miss Mitchell, sister of the late
Brigadier-General William T. (Billy)
Mitchell, is the only foreign woian
ever to be admitted to membership
in the Chetniks, secret organization
of Serbian guerrillas. Because of this
affiliation, she has a story to relate
of the valiant fight which is taking
place in Europe today.
To Tell of Serbs
She will tell how a handful of
Serbian guerrillas are making an
actuality their plan to immobilize
the Nazi troops in the Balkans, and
to prepare for the military collapse
of the Nazis throughout the whole
of Europe.
Miss Mitchell served under Gen-'
eral DrajaMikjailovitch from the
outbreak of the war in the Balkans
until her capture on May 22, 1941.
At this time she was court-martialed
and condemned to death.
Following her capture, she spent
13 months in Nazi prisons; first in
Croatia, then in Bosnia Serbia, Aug-
tria, and finally at Leibenau, Ger-
many. During these months she
learned what it means to live in
constant fear, to watch friends being
executed, and to be cut off from all
communications.
Aids War Orphans
Miss Mitchell's purpose in return-.
ing to this country is to raise funds
for the war orphans of Serbia. She

typing or filing work.
Typing tests will be held by the
office of Mrs. E. E. Van Cleaf in Uni-
I versity Hall to determine the quality
of college women's typing. The results

record of the respective abilities. The
first test will be held at 8:30 a. m.,

Cdeaf's record will be available to

Michigan Motorists
To Receive Markers
For Speedometers
LANSING, Nov. 11.- (P)- Bright
Red "V" stickers to mark off the 35-
mile speed level on speedometers will
be given Michigan motorists when
they receive their gasoline rationing
booklets. They will be supplied by the
State Safety Commission.
Maxwell Halsey, executive secretary
of the commission, said some cars lack
a 35-mile indicator, and that in any
event, the red "V" would make the
speed range easier to locate and
therefore would reduce the time when
the driver's eyes were off the road
cheking on his speed.
The most sparsely populated coun-
try in the world is Australia, with
two persons per square mile.
is donating the revenue from her lec-
tures and writing to these homeless
children.
Ruth Mitchell was born in Mil-
watikee and educated in France,
Switzerland, and at Vassar College.
She married an Englishman and
spent most of her recent years
abroad. In 1938 she went to the
BaIkans to attend the wedding of
King Zog of Albania to a Hungarian
princess. It was at this time that
she was invited to stay on and write
a guide book to Albania.
Becomes a "Chetnik"
The book was never completed,
however, because of the Italian con-
quest of King Zog's domain. She be-
came interested in the Chetniks and
became a member of this secret so-
ciety. When she took her oath, over
a drawn dagger and a loaded re-
volver, she was told, "you are now
considered dead. Your life is .for-
feited to the cause of Serbian free-
dom."
When Miss Mitchell returned to
this country aboard the Drottnlng-
holm she was greeted with the news
that her son had been killed fighting,
with the RAF in Libya. This news
only heightened her determination
to fight on, with words instead of
daggers, for the present. She plans
on returning to rejoin the Chetniks
when her mission here is completed.
Bunyan Dance
Lists Patrons,
Foresters Prohibit Coats, Ties,
At Annual 'Formal' in Union
Patrons for the annual Paul Bun-
yan "formal" which will be held from
9:00 p. m. to midnight Friday, Nov.
20 in the ballroom of the Union have
been announced by Jim Snodgrass,.
'43, chairman of the dance.
Pres. and Mrs. Ruthven, Dean and
Mrs. Samuel T. Dana, Dean Alice C.
Lloyd, Dean Joseph Bursley and Dean
and Mrs. Walter B. Rea head the
list. Other patrons for the "formal"
will be the faculty of the forestry
school and their wives. Invited to act
as chaperons are Prof. and Mrs. Leigh
Young and Prof. and Mrs. Shirley
Allen.
Coats and ties are incongruous with
the theme of Paul Bunyan, patron
saint of all foresters, in whose honor
the dance is being given. All who
come dressed in the above articles of
clothing will be "asked" to remove
same.
Irl order to further emphasize the
importance of informality at this in-
formal of "formals," all foresters will
be seen on campus next week in their
field clothes; some of them are raising
Paul Bunyan beards in honor of the
occasion.
Tickets for the dance have gone on
sale and are available at the League
and Union and are also being sold by
members of the Forestry Club.
NATALIE MATTERN . --
omen aniIHE WAR
By BEA BOUCHARD
Natalie Mattern is anticipating a
nervous tic any day "and she loves
it"-for although she doesn't wear
slacks and run a riveter seven days a
week, she has a position on her hands
equally important for victoire, chair-
manship of the sophomore hospital
project.
The outstanding accomplishments
of this praiseworthy project needsno
further emphasis and Natalie is an
essential factor which made it what
it is today. In her hands rests the
ultimate direction and responsibility
of some 200 women.
. There was no anticipation of afflic-
tions when Natalie was appointed to
this post because she has weathered,
her freshman year with every hair in
place. As a freshman she was chair-
man of the Panhellenic scholarship
luncheon, was a Panhellenic repre-
sentative, and acted as vice-president
of Alpha Lambda Delta. In addition,
she worked on various League com-
mittees: social, style shows, teas and
acquaintance bureau. She was also
mistress of ceremonies for Frosh Pro-
ject.
Any similarity between the entire
Mattern family and a typical defense
poster is purely coincidental. Her fa-
