Rushing Plans
Submitted to
Panhel Meting
Proposal Made To Have Season
During Fall Extended over Six
Weeks To Benefit All Houses
A group of women representing 14
sororities presented a tentative plan
for rushing next fall to a meeting of
Panhellenic Association yesterday.
Highlight of 'the proposed plan is
the holding of the rushing period
during the fall; rushing would be
spread over six weeks, however, in-
stead of the usual two-week period.
Parties over Week-ends
Parties would be confined to
week-ends and each rushee could
visit a house twice during the sea-
son before she was dropped from a
sorority list.
The rushing season would be pre-
ceded by an informative meeting for
all women interested in sorority in
order to acquaint coeds with the ac-
tivities and fundamental aims of
Panhellenic.
Commenting on the proposed plan,
bean Alice C. Lloyd said that it had
nany advantages. "I cannot feel it
wise to ever go back to the old sys-
tem. There has been too much
criticism of it. Also, I am aware
that the rushing system this year
was not an ideal one. I am anxious
to work on a modification of the
former system.
Deferred Rushing Out
"Deferred rushing has not helped
the younger sororities. We must
look at the problem in a straight-
forward way. Young sororities are
under the handicap of unfounded
"propaganda." It is time for Pan-
hellenic to take action to support
every organization."
Dean Lloyd suggested that the
rushing period be.postponed until the
second or third week of school in the
fall until campus newcomers can be-
come established in the University
routine. She also proposed that
upperclassmen be pledged at the end
of the six-week period, but that
freshmen be pledged the second week
of the spring semester. This plan
will allow sororities' to have fresh-
Man grades and will incite freshmen
to work for high marks.
A discussion was also held on a
quota system which would assure all
houses of a minimum number of
pledges.
Ground Crew'
To Collect Pay
Pay - checks are available. for all
members of the "Buildings and
Grounds" crew who worked up to
April 25, any time this afternoon or
tomorrow afternoon at the station
house behind Waterman Gym.
The crew has extended its duties
to include work in Hill Auditorium
on days when the weather will not
permit work outdoors. This work
will continue for the next two weeks.
However, it is necessary to sign up
at the station house before going
over to the auditorium.
For the benefit of those girls who
have signed up for work ad who
have not come as yet because they
do not know how to go about it, the
setup is very simple. Girls may sign
up at the sub-station behind Water-
man Gym, and they will be assigned
to a job. It is essential that a girl
have two successive hours to spare,
peferably beginning on the hour.
M Every weekday from 1 p.m. to 5:30
p'.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon
and from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., and
Sunday from 9 a.m. to noon and
from 2 p.m, to 5:30 p.m., work is
available to every woman student,
regardless of weather conditions.

WAVES Keep Physically Fit
FIELD DAY:

Round Tabl e
Merits !\A fI1 '' ,
,
Full Cooperation
JFUN-FITNESS Field Day, to be held
tomorrow, deserves the enthusi-
a tic codperation of all women on
campus. It is the culmination of an
ambitious program of volunteer ex-i
cicise initiated by a hard-working
grcup of leaders who early realizedl
the importance of physical fitnessl
for, omen.
The University is the first institu-
tion in Michigan to sponsor a volun-
tary physical fitness program, and
one of the first in the whole nation.
Led by Michigan's program, other;
universities will be able to model an
organization of their own.
T IS ABSOLUTELY necessary
that college women all over the
country wake up to the importance
of keeping themselves in excellent
health and building up their physi-
cal fitness. Women may not be
able to fight on the battlefront,
but in a warring nation handi-
capped by lack of manpower, they
have important duties to fulfill at
home, which require all their en-
ergies and strength.
Michigan women are able to show
by their whole-hearted support of
Fun-Fitness Field Day that they rea-
lize and appreciate the importancej
of the physical fitness program.

Field Program
A new addition to the plans for
"Fun, Fitness Field Day" to be held
,at 4 p.m. tomorrow at the WAB and
Palmer Field, is a round table dis-
cussion for all athletic managers
which will take place in the WAB
inimediately following the field dem-
onstrations.
At this time all house athletic
managers and anyone else who is in-
terested, will discuss the value of the
voluntary physical fitness program
undertaken this year and will sug-
gest methods for .handling the pro-
gram next year. "The importance
of the round table discussion cannot
be over-emphasized," said Shelby
Diedrich, '45, chairman of the Field
Day program, "since the WAA is
eager to know what physical fitness
plans in keeping with the war effort
will best please Michigan women."
Twenty-five women from each dor-
mitory, sorority, and league house
zone will form a block group on Pal-
mer Field and in that position will
perform five exercises selected by
the Field Day committee. Each unit
will also have the opportunity to dis-
play its talents in two exercises of
the unit's own choosing.
"Fun, Fitness Field Day" is planned
as a complement to the drive to-
ward greater participation of Michi-
gan women in sports and fitness pro-
Sgrams at a time when the health of
every member of the nation is so
important.
