Women to Exercise
en Masse Each Night
Plans for the WAA Voluntary Phys-
ical Fitness program were completed
at the first leadership meeting at 4
p.m. yesterday in Barbour gymnasi-
um.
Representatives who attended this
meeting will lead their houses in mass
exercises beginning at closing hours
Monday and continuing through
Thursday.

house posted at the League. Extra
points will be. awarded to houses

Saturdays or Sundays also.
Dr. Margaret Bpll, who spoke brief-
ly to the women, stated that only
through a combination of exercise,
regular meals and ample sleep, could
physical fitness be achieved. Any devi-
ation from a regular program of
these three factors may lead to
anemia.
Surprise speaker for the occasion
was Donelda Schaible, '42, and past
president of WAA, who said, "I have
been in the business world working
with women now for five months, and
can tell you that one of the main
things one needs there is endurance."
Following several talks, about 50 of
the women volunteered to go through
the physical fitness tests, which the
Physical Education Department has
been giving to regular classes.

ARMY SPEAK:S,:.
Make Grades
or be Drafted,
Ganoe Warns
Col. William A. Ganoe, ROTC com-
mandant, yesterday deplored the "dis-
appointed attitude" of the many men
students whom he interviews daily .at
not have initially elected ROTC.
"The great chance for finishing
one's education by being in either of
the ROTC's," the head of the campus
unit said, "was not apparent then and
in many cases seems misunderstood
now.
Colonel Ganoe, who gives final ap-
proval for enlistment in the Army
Enlisted Reserve, predicted draft eli-
gible men's stay in this University
will ultimately be directly propor-
tional to their high scholastic stand-
ing and pursuit of subjects which
bear directly on military service.
"Never has scholarship been so
necessary to a boy's future," he tells
reserve applicants. College enlistees
are selected with great care, and "if
they don't maintain an above average
scholastic rating, 'out they go at the
end of the term."
For "able and willing" men who
have proved themselves. able to stick
in one of the University's reserve pro-
grams, the Colonel promises to fight.
He sees hope in the latest statement
of the Joint Army - Navy - Marine
Corps Procurement Committee that
a new draft bill, as far as is now
known, will not affect operation of
the Enlisted Reserve Corps Unas-
signed program.
For boys, disappointed at not being
told about military science work,. the
Colonel in most cases can do nothing.

Judge Questions
Suspen sion of
Ypsi Policeman
Suspension of an Ypsilanti police-
man without a hearing by the Ypsi-
lanti police commission was ques-
tioned yesterday by Circuit Court
Judge George W. Sample who has or-
dered the commission and Police
Chief Dan E. L. Patch to show cause
for the action-at a hearing next Sat-
urday.
Chief Patch and the Ypsilanti com-
mission will be asked to show why an
injunction should not be issued re-
straining the discharge or suspension
of policemen without a hearing be-
fore the commission. The injunction
was asked in a petition filed by Ypsi-
lanti alderman Edward Block yester-
day.
In the petition it was charged that
Patrolman Harold Michaelson was
suspended by Chief Patch without a
hearing before the police commission
and without charges being preferred
against him.
Rumors of dissension within the
police department were reported by
the petitioner who asserted that the
chief had threatened to suspend other
members of the department as a A-
sult of that dissension. Other officers
have threatened to resign if more
suspensions and discharges are or-
dered, the petition stated.

refrain from making social long dis-
tance calls on Thanksgiving Day toy
clear the wires for calls home by men1
in the service.
N. J. Prakken, manager for the
company, pointed out that a danger-
ous congestion of the circuits might
develop if Thanksgiving social calls1
are added to lines that are already
overtaxed with military and war pro-t
duction calls.
Telephone users are particularly
urged not to make, social calls over
transcontinental or interstate long
distance lines involving distances of
more than 300 miles, where the tele-
phone traffic normally is heaviest.

must be made,, it is suggested that he
give the operator the number of the
distant telephone and keep the con-
versation as short as possible.
