yesterday in the dormitories, sorori-
ties, and league houses and will con-
tinue throughout the school year, ac-
cording to Shelby Dietrich, '45, gen-
eral-chairman.
Plans are being made for a table
chart. to be set up at the League,
which will show the per cent of, par-
ticipation of the various houses on
campus. Attendance will be taken by
the athletic managers or others lead-
ing the groups, on Mondays, Tues-

and, lastly, the development of new
interests.

Miss Dietrich, are Helen Clarke,

Coed Describes
Qreat Tension
At Pearl Harbor
By PHYLLIS PRESENT
"Remembering Pearl Harbor" is no
task for tiny, blonde Betty Anderson,
'45, who was rudely awakened at
7:55 a.m.Sunday, December T, 1941,
from a sound sleep in the mountain
home of her parents, about two miles
from Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
Miss Anderson, at the sight (from
her bedroom window) of bomb drop-
ping slowly from the planes ove the
harbor, and a ship going up in
flames, decided it wasn't just the
American air forces practicing. That
mental decision was confirmed, when
"father cae dashing up the drive
from thecharbor and said that it was
the Japs," Miss Anderson remarked.
"No, I wasn't terrified," she con-
tinued, "in fact I was very excited
and had a sort of exhilerated feeling.
Dad took mother and I to a tunnel,
where some 40 6ther refugees were
assembled.
Tries To Escape From Tunnel
"There were refugee women called
'hoales" (Hawaiian word for whites),
in the cave. They had run from the
harbor, trying to hide in the tall cane
fields, but were shot at by amazingly
low-swooping Jap planes. We stayed
in the tunnel all day and night, and
food was brought to us. Three times
we tried to leave, but, even the last
time, a man at the opening of the
tunnel was shot down. By a stroke
of luck our home was not damaged,
but great holes and pieces of shrapnel
were found in the front yard.
"Some of the women in the cave
cried continually while others just
sat dully in deep depression. Others
acted stage-struck, and one usually
modest neighbor stood out on her
porch in her slip, just gazing down
at the harbor. I didn't lose ny feel-
ing of excitement for some time, but
with the relization of the conse-
quences of the attack, I finally went
into a state of depression.
"For days and weeks afterwards
we expected them to return; and
Honolulu, which was ten miles from
our home in the country, was com-
pletely blacked out every night. The
Red Cross did an astounding job,
when one takes into account that
this was completely a surprise at-
tack. Some women worked for days
without sleep, caring for the wound-
ed.
Thousands Evacuate Islands
"Over two thousand were killed in
Pearl Harbor; an estimated 50 civil-
ians in Honolulu, and the airfields
took the real brunt of the attack.
immediately after the Sunday at-
tack thousands of people poured out
of the islands. Women and children
of army and navy people were forced
to evacuate. Although civilians were
strongly urged to do so, it was not
mandatory.
Miss Anderson, whose father is an
engineer in Hawaii, was a freshman
at the University of Hawaii at the
time of the attack. Though the school
closed down for six weeks after the
attack, as all congregations of peo-
ple were avoided, Miss Anderson fin-
ished her year when it was reopened.
She had lived in Hawaii two years,
previously hailing from California.
"As our convoy left the harbor for
the States last July," says Miss An-
derson,' who regretted her departure,
"there was only one thing I was hap-
py about-that was to throw away
my gas mask. Just as I did that the
steward walked up and handed me a
life-saver which I was told to keep
with me every minute."
Bandage Rolling
At Hillel Will Be

Today, Tomorrow I
Red Cross surgical bandage rolling
will take place from 2 p.m. to 5 pm.
both today (and tomorrow at Hillel
Foundation, according to Herbert
Levin, '45M, and Charlotte Kaufman,
'44, co-chairmen of the social service
committee.
Students and townspeople- are in-
vited to attend, but must plan to stay
at least one hour. They must follow
a regular attendance, as a certain
quota has been set and must be com-
pleted each week.
Workers are asked to report in
freshly laundered cotton blouses or
dresses, or wear clean cotton smocks;
all of which must/ be in light colors.
They are requested to wear a'lhead-
dress of clean material which will
conceal all of the hair. No nail polish
is to be worn by those rolling ban-
dages.
Students, trained and qualified as
Red Cross instructors, will supervise
the surgical bandage workers. The
Hillel unit has been assigned to roll
four inch by four inch bandages.
ANY WAY YOU LOOK!

REPERCUSSIONS:-
Typical Group Resents Compulsion.
Involved In 'Volunteer' Pro jects
First repercussions of the accelerated war program for our Michigan
women have created the strong impression in many quarters that "all is not
well." In fact, there is a feeling of bitterness and resentment among many
University coeds as a direct outgrowth of the increased demands put on
them.
"It isn't what they want us to do," the women say, "it's the way
that they want us to do it." This seems to be the consensus of opinion,
and the key to the whole situation.
Prime reason for the obvious resentment to the stepped-up program
for coeds is the manner in which the whole setup is presented. While the
entire program is allegedly voluntary, the women realize that they must
either give until it hurts, or else be looked down as slackers. Therefore,
since we are at war, these women have no choice. In their case the only
difference between voluntary and compulsory is in the spelling of the 'word.
PECIAL CARDS have been passed out among the coeds n an effort to
learn what sort of war work the women are doing, what phases of it
they would like to participate -in, their special abilities in various fields,
and any comments they have on the program in general. And, their cup
of resentment really overflowed when it came to commenting on the
whole setup.
After examining 200 of these cards one bunch of 10 were picked up
at random, as being representative of the group, and were analyzed.
The women. who wrote these cards are a typical group of Michigan coeds
living in one of the many League houses in Ann Arbor, and include a
mixture of upperclassmen and freshmen. The results are positively
startling!
The first big question asked was: "Would you be willing to take a job
in a local defense industry four hours a day, five days a week, pay between
50 and 60 cents an hour, probably splitting a 4-12 shift with someone?"
Every girl answered "NO." An interesting afterthought is that none of these
girls is otherwise employed.
The second question asked was a reason for the above answer. Take
your pick of these terse replies: "Studying takes up all my time," "Not in-
terested," "Too busy," "Physically unable," "Impossible," "Second 'semester
if I find time," "No time with a full course," and "Need more information
before a decision is made." The other two were also "too busy."
BUT THE REAL STORY lies in the comments made by these coeds re-
garding the whole program. They resented the manner in which the
"voluntary" program was presented. Consider some of the following com-
ments for what they are worth.
"The methods used in carrying out the war training program are
too dogmatic. It's all supposed to be voluntary and girls should not
be penalized if they do not volunteer, whatever their reason. If the
demands were presented in a more pleasant form, there would be much
more interest."
"THE WAR WORK required plus home work and time spent in classes
does not leave enough time for rest, supposedly vital to good health."
A quick glance through scores of other cards more or less bears out the
general resentment. Nothing lasting has ever been built on a hasty foun-
dation. Perhaps, the accelerated program for coeds was not thought out
thoroughly and presented too hastily. In any event, it is obvious that there
won't be 100 per cent cooperation until that bitterness and resentment is
alleviated. -Eric Zalenski
