SUNDAY, MARCH 14, 1943 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Business Ad School To Reoffer Special Program for Women Coeds Who Have Completed Four Terms May Begin Training in Summer Session Provided that enough eligible wom- en students apply for admission. the School of Business Administration plans to reoffer the special training program which will enable women who have completed four terms of under-graduate work (60 hours) to receive two semesters of business training beginning with the Summer term. According to Prof. M. H. Water- man, secretary of the business ad- ministration school, approximately fifteen women were admitted in February. At the end of the current term, however, a larger number of women will be completing their soph- omore year, and it is expected that requests for admission to the special training program will be more num- erous. As a result of current needs, wom- en are now being sought for many oc- cupations to which, because of cus- tom, they could previously gain ad- mission only in small numbers and with great difficulty. In the field of accounting, for ex- ample, positions with public account- ing firms' have traditionally been men's prerogative. But now public ac- counting firms are energetically seek- ing women who have had some prep- aration in that field. The bar has also been lowered in banks, where in many departments women have been refused employ- ment by sheer tradition. Of course, secretarial!'work which has been a principal business activity for women is still available, but it is emphasized that the range of opportunities open to women is now much broader. Upon completion of the two-term program, a student will have basic in- struction which will be immediately useful in the following lines: person- nel procedures, banking and finance, business writing, office practice, mer- chandising, accounting and statistics. At the end of this two-term pro- gram students may continue for two more terms and complete the require- ments for the degree of Bachelor of Business Administration, or they may drop out at that point to take a po- sition in business, postponing com- pletion of the degree until after the immediate needs of the war have been satisfied. Women who have had more than four terms of college preparation may, in some cases, be granted ad- vanced standing toward the degree. Continuance of work in other schools and colleges of the University after the completion of the special business training program may be followed, if the student desires. Professor Margaret Elliott has been designated as social adviser to wom- en in the School of Business Adminis- tration, and further details may be obtained by consulting her or Prof. Waterman, 108 Tappan Hall. Sigma Alpha Iota To Hold Musicale Sigma Alpha Iota will give a musi- cale at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow at the, home of Mrs. Max M. Peet. Florence McCracken, 54SM, Ber- narda Danford, Grad, and Rose Hull,! '43, will each sing solos, and Janet Gallup, '44SM, will play Brahm's "Rhapsody." The sorority's orchestra plans to give several Brahms and Wagner numbers. P0hyllis Gugino '43SM, will play a Brahm's sonata on the clarinet, accompanied by Ellen Edwards, '43SM, on the piano. Letters to the Editor Editor's Note: In reference to the decision as to whether it is advisable for women to attend the summer term, the following statements are presented. Miss Ethel McCormick, social director of the League and chairman of the Women's War program committee: "Women students should hasten their graduation because the country's need for them is so acute. This acceleration can be achieved without injury to health if the thoughtful student schedules her time and does not take on too many non-essentials." Dr. Margaret Bell, head of the Physical Education Department for Women: "I do believe in the accelerated program. To win the war, we need more highly trained specialists. Therefore, the sooner a specialized woman finishes her course, the sooner she will be available. "To carry this program successfully, I recommend: that you do every- thing necessary to keep fit; that next you do your academic work intens- ively; third, that you systematically contribute either to the voluntary war work or to paid war work; and fourth, that you use your leisure time as a University woman should, to cultural advantage. It is by the long steady pull that victory will be achieved." Charlotte Thompson, '43, president of the Women's League: "Due to the vital need for college trained women, we can be of the greatest service by finishing our college work as soon as possible. For many it is difficult to decide whether to return to summer school or not. However, when we see what real sacrifices the women of other countries are making and what their sacrifices mean to the welfare of the world, we should be more determined than ever to contribute our talents. Although an accelerated program is an added strain, with proper regulation of our living habits, we American women can do what others are doing all over the world. Let us all determine then to make our most valuable contribu- tion to the war effort by taking advantage of the speeded up program being i Panhel Tickets To Qo on Sale Tickets for Panhellenic Ball to be held March 27 will go on sale for sorority women from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday and will continue to be on sale in the lobby of the League until the day of the dance, according to Mary Lee Grossman, '45, publicity chairman of the Ball Committee.
