.,. THE MICHIGAN DAILY .................. Student Senate' Represents All Men, Women Campus Vote Determines Nine Policy-Formers; War Staff Is Created The Student Senate is the only student governing body on campus that represents both men and women and is chosen by unrestricted elec- tion. , Streamlined last spring, the organ- ization now consists of nine Sena- tors who form the policies of the or- ganization and an administrative staff who carry out the policies. The former Senate was made up of 30 senators. The main aim of the Senate is to accelerate the student war effort and the Senate War Staff acts as coor- dinator for campus war activity. Made up of 44 members the board is willing to aid any organization iake a success of programs for the war effort. Specialized committees within the War Staff will be formed so that ser- vices will be more efficient. Any freshmen or sophgmores interested in the work this staff is doing are invited to work. The Daily will an- nounce meetings for the war staff later. Jim Landers, president of the Sen- ate, said, "Any individual, organiza- tion or group may feel free to pre- sent any justified complaint on any phase of University life to the Sen- ate and we will consider it." Elected in April for one year terms,' the Senators select administrative di- rectors who in turn name commit- tees to work on different projects: the selling of defense stamps, labor conditions on campus and the Sen- ate's relations with other campus or- ganizations. Any freshman, sophomore, junior or senior, providing he has an eli- gibility card, may be a candidate for office. Former activities of the Sen- ate were the mid-winter, parley, the sale of defense stamps, and the orig- inating of student loan funds. Senators are Jim Landers, presi- dent; Elaine Spangler, secretary; Lewis Saks, Bill Ager, Dick Orlikoff, Glen Taylor, Bill Loughborough, Herman Hudson and Sid Brower. Nurses' Aides To Be Trained ByUnwersit University women may train for volunteer nurses' aides in a course starting Oct. 19, it is announced by Prof. Rhoda Reddig, director of the University's School of Nursing. The course is sponsored by the American Red Cross and the Office of Civil- ian Defense and will be given by the School of ,Nursing. A five-week instruction period will include 80 hours of classroom and clinical work. Coeds are to be trained as volunteer assistants to graduate nurses in hospitals, public health nursing, first aid work and for the emergency medical program of the Office of Civilian Defense. At com- pletion of their course, the coeds can volunteer time at their conveni- ence to assist in the University Hos- pital. University women desiring to take the course mayregister at the office of Miss Ethel McCormick. Mrs. William Bates, graduate of the Uni- versity of Michigan College of Liter- ature, Science and the Arts and the School of Nursing, will teach the course. Perspectives Outlet For Campus Writers Safety-valve outlet for the bur-! geoning talents of campus writers, Perspectives, University literary mag- azine, will continue publication dur- ing the 1942-43 season. Designed to furnish a medium for all students whose talents warrant a hearing, Perspectives was founded in the early thirties. Manuscripts are solicited and sub- mitted through the English depart- ment or on the contributor's initia- tive, after which they are considered as to relative merit by an editorial board composed of several members of the faculty and the student edi- tors. Any form of literary endeavor has been acceptable in the past, criteria being quality and sincerity rather than preconceived notions of what is desirable. New Dental Building 36 Social Fraternities Revamp Programs To Meet War Needs , Facing the war situation with a completely revamped program, Mich- igan's 36 general social fraternities anticipate very little trouble, finan- cially speaking, during the hard years that may lie ahead. According to John Fauver, '43E, president of the Interfraternity Council, the great majority of so called "weak" houses have left the campus during the past teri years and those that remain are curtailing social activites, cooperating with oth- er houses, and in other ways working out a strong fraternity policy. . IFC Records IFC records also show that the ma- jority of organized men on campus belong to the various reserve officer plans and will thus be able to com- plete their college courses, living in and supporting their houses. "Freshmen interested in joining a fraternity," Fauver declares, "should, realize that the movie-fraternity of the roaring 20's, with its attic full of the real stuff and its coon skin coated-members, is a bygone thing." During the orientation period there will be a registration booth in the lobby of the' Union where interested men will have an opportunity to regr- ister for rushing. It is very impor- tant that freshmen attend to this matter, sincesno manwho has not properly registered will be allowed to pledge a fraternity. Rushing Rules The first and second weeks of school will be devoted to rushing, following which there will be a short period of silence to enable rushees to register for the house of their choice. During the two weeks' time, no man will be allowed more than six dates with any one house, all noon dates must end at 3:30 p. m., and all evening dates at 8:30 p. m. Several new rushing rules have been adopted this semester and all rushees, as well as rushing chairmen, are urged to familiarize themselves with these regulations: no rushee shall be allowed to have more than one date with any one house during the first four days of rushing; there shall be no rushing on October 10 and no rushing after 5 p. m. on Octo- ber 11; there shall be no rushing in the dorms; and those rushees who have completed one year in the Uni- versity shall be allowed to live in the fraternity they pledge immediately upon pledging, providing there are no other room contracts involved. The IFC, often called the "Grand Jury of Fraternity affairs," is the co- ordinating body for all fraternities on campus and passes on all frater- nity petitions, infractions of Uni- versity and Council rules, and house disputes. The various houses, operating through this council, sponsor certain activities every year, chief of which are the IFC Sing, "Greek" Week, a Christmas party for poor children and an Interfraternity Ball. This year the Council has also sponsored war activities such as a Blood Bank for the Red Cross, a paper collection drive, and the displaying of flags from every house. Campus To Get NewGargoyle Gargoyle-the University of Mich- igan's magazine of campus life-will be completely streamlined and dif- ferent in the devious ways of humor when it begins its regular publica- tion this fall. Gargoyle editor Olga Gruhzit, '43, promises a "funny magazine so re- conditioned that you won't recognize any resemblance to past Gargs." This year the humor magazine will continue tradition by offering a ser- ies of monthly contests in the fields of the short story, cartoon and photo. Besides that, Garg will concentrate on new feature sections designed to tickle your floating rib,, photo sec- tions which emphasize the ultra in snapping a camera, and amusing sidelights of the University campus "off guard." Tryouts are, invited over to the. Student Publications Building at their convenience to confer with the editors. New Directory Lists Students' .tSVital Statistics Students wandering around in the bewildering maze of registration red tape can find one consolation for their card-filling activities. When the first card is signed it starts the ball rolling for the campus' best social booster, the Student Directory. "Who can I call for a date tonight? Where does that fellow next to me that gets all A's on his themes live? I wonder if he's really a senior? How'll I get addresses for my Christ- mas cards?" The answers to all of these and many more questions will be found in the most-used student handbook when it comes out next month edited by Ben Douglas, '43. For the Directory lists each student, graduate or undergraduate, and each faculty member, with telephone num- ber, class and home address for each student and both office and home phone number for each professor. In addition the phone numbers of all campus buildings will be listed, including dormitories, fraternity and sorority houses and cooperatives. Still another feature is a section giv- ing officers and directors of the ma- jor campus extra-curricular activi- ties. Military Use Of Radio Is New Speech Course Radio as a military weapon and as a public relations medium will be the subject of a new course, Speech 157, to be offered for the first time this fall. Bearing two hours credit, the first semester course is entitled Wartime Radio Programs and will be taught by Prof. Waldo Abbott of the speech department, The course has been planned through coperation with both the British Broadcasting System's in- formation and consultation with American censors and Army and Navy public relations officers. The addition of the Kellogg Institute has added to the facilities of Michigan's already famous Dental School, but overcrowded condi- tions have forced the University to close admissions until 19.44. Arm Forms Quartermaster Corps Offering for the first time to stu- dents of military science at the Uni- versity a chance to prepare for serv- ice in the business branch of the Afmy, the ROTC recently founded a campus unit of the Quartermaster Corps. Its functions include procurement, storage and issue of food, clothing and equipment. The combined pro- gram of military and academic train- ing leading to a commission and a degree, as offered at the University, is designed to provide officer candi- dates with combat and leadership training together with the technical and administrative skills required in this branch of the service. For admission to the Quartermas- ter Corps, training, completion of the basic ROTC training is required. Ca- dets of the Quartermaster Corps must be enrolled as regular students in the University, normally with at least a junior standing.
