Torpedo Survivors Reach Safety ana w aLerman gyms and sponsored by the Physical Education department Surgical Dressings Will Be Made Today Due to the turnout of 60 persons at the surgical dressing unit it will be open again from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. today in the game room of the League. The groups which have been espe- cially invited to attend are the Ann Arbor coeds, Alpha Phi, Alpha Gam- ma Delta, and Gamma Pi ZBeta. How- ever, women in all other groups arei urged to participate in this work also. It is hoped by Marcia Zimmerman, '44, chairman of this project, that the students' interest continues in this work, for as it was recently an- nounced, unless 30 persons turn out every day the unit is open, it will be forced to close. Sports events, games and square dancing will make up an evening of recreation, fun and exercise at "Rec- Rally." Those who come at 8:30 p.m. will have an hour and a half to de- vote to playing badminton, mixed volleyball, ping pong, shuffleboard, deck tennis, aerial darts and bowling.' Coeds will have an opportunity to show what the exercise program has done for them by challenging the men to a weight lifting contest. Barn Dancing Is Planned Those who attend the basketball, game the same evening may attend afterward, as from 10 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. there will be real, true-blue barn dancing in Waterman gym. "The square dancing will be led by a com- petent leader and a small band will play," says Miss Willcox. Skirts and sweaters, bluejeans, or "what-have-you" will be appropriate for this co-recreational affair, and those attending may come in couple or .stag, both men and women.. Tennis shoes must be worn on the Barbour gym floor, where badminton and vol- leyball will be played, but street shoes will be acceptable for the square dan- cing. To Invite Soldiers Members of the WAA Board plan to act as hostesses to make introduc- tions among those present, and they will arrange the various games, also. Soldiers on campus will receive spe- cial invitations to attend, and the whole affair has been arranged to be one of informality and friendly fun. There will be a very small admit- tance charge per person, and al- though tickets may be purchased at te door, they are now in the hands of all members of the WAA Board. Rush T echnique Wasn't MyStery For Cave Men By MARJORIE ROSMARIN Now that we've finished playing "Do you know?" and "Where are you from?" we've reached the last two laps of the rushing season. Right now one of the most important things in the heads of our sorority-minded co- eds is the whys and wherefores of rushing. Rushing is an old established cus- tom which dates back to the begin- ning of civilization. Even in the re- mote days of 1,000,000 B.C., the stone age, the age of primitive man, the. 1 r Safe aboard an Allied destroyer, WAACs, U.S. Army nurses and.

Nutrition Class ToOpen Soon Course Necessary Prerequisite To Qualify for Canteen Corps To allow women students to qual- ify for membership in the. Canteen, Corps of the American Red Cross, a course in nutrition will be offered this semester to all coeds interested. This 20-hour nutrition course is a prerequisite to joining the Canteen 1 Corps and has been offered by the Red Cross the past three semesters. The course will consist of a two-hour class held once a week for ten weeks in the Red Cross Building at North Hall. Students have been urged to sign up immediately in the undergraduate office of the League in order that the course may be completed before finals begin. The class will be given from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday, Wednes- day or Friday. Many students that have already completed the course are now work- ing in the Canteen Corps feeding blood donors as well as armed forces when they pass through the town. This group also sees off new recruits at the train, and serves them coffee and doughnuts before their depart- ure. Women whoplan to be in a differ- ent locality this summer may join the Canteen Corps there if they have completed the Red Cross nutrition course. Discussion Held On War Training University Women Consider Industrial, College Problems "In 1943 there will be no place for non-producers in the United States," William Batt, vice-chairman of the War Production Board stated last week at a conference of the Ameri- can Association of University Women. Mr. Batt was the first speaker in a day-long meeting called to discuss the training and placing of college wom- en in war industries. He declared that American college women are not giv- ing their best to the "job of great magnitude and tremendous serious- ness" of winning the war. Asks Colleges To Help Dr. W. W. Charters, Director of the War Manpower Commission's Bureau of Training, declared that each col- lege must .consider the needs of its community and the extent of its fa- cilities in planning war industrial training for its women. He said that such training need not destroy the "essential' structure" of the curricu- lum. He announced that industry would need 4,500,000 new workers during the- comipg year so that a woman can find a war job in any field that she wishes. After the talks of the two govern- ment representatives spokesmen for industry and women's colleges took over the meeting. Dr. Lillian Gil- breth of Purdue University suggested that prompt and coordinated infor- mation on the . needs of industry would greatly assist the colleges to train women efficiently for war posi- tions. She stated that education in- creased the capacity for productive work and that therefore women should finish their college educations before entering industry. Companies Approve Women Workers "A tendency to break into tears," is about the only complaint confer- ence representatives of the Glenn L. Martin Plant, Revere Copper and Brass Company, General Electric, RCA, and Grumman Aircraft report, ed concerning their women workers. In all other respects women have proved satisfactory in these factories, they declared. The delegates showed wide differ- ences of opinion on the question of technical vs. general education.

"Ugh" meant anything and was effective insofar as it was diplomatically pro- nounced. If Ab, the primitive man, wanted a mammal of some sort for Sunday brunch he would bare his teeth be- guilingly at said mammal and give' it an "ugh." If Booba, a primitive man, desired the same mammal, he, too, would turn on his personality and whoever succeeded in attracting the mammal had it for his delicacy, that is, without too much ado. From this historical background, it can easily be seen that the word "rushing" can be considered as syno- nymous with the word "diplomacy." Even today the remnants of prehis- toric days can be seen in the art of rushing. We are still smiling beguil- ingly, trying to attract the "mam- mals" but the communication system has improved considerably in the matter of vocal contact, for the sub- stitute for "ugh" is "Who do you know?"
