Freshman Coeds To Hold Frolic
Riding Groups
At 7:30 p.m. Today in Waterman Invite Women
Skits To Be H igh Spot in Evening's Prog ramn
As Informality Keynotes Get-Together
The freshman coed will join her
coed classmates for an evening of fun
at Frosh Frolic at 8 p.m. today in
Waterman Gymnasium, according to
Estelle Klein, '47, chairman of Frosh
Project.
Entertainment has been planned
hi the form of various skits by fresh-
man women and by several of the
Frolic patrons. Starting off the eve-
ning's activities will be a ,song-and-
dance number by members of the '47'
Corps central committee, followed by
other freshman sijits ranging from
modern melodramas to gay minstrel
shows, including a bit of satire on
Frank Sinatra, according to the
Frosh Project publicity committee.
Dean Lloyd To Perform
Dean Alice C. Lloyd and Marie D.
Hartwig of the Physical Education
Department are keeping the nature
of their respective skits secret. How-
ever, according to the publicity com-
mittee, it is no secret that their per-
formances will be hilariously carried
out.
Popular, collegiate and novelty
songs will be sung by the group
throughout the evening, led by Jean
Hoinville, '47. Margaret Holk, '47,
will, provide piano accompaniment.
Following the skits and songs a
conga line, led by Ethel A. McCor-
mick, League Social Director, will
make its way to the refreshment
table.
Informal Dress Emphasized.
Appropriate garb for the Frolic is
any clever outfit, old, tattered, or
torn, according to Miss Klein. "in-
formality is the keynote of the
WAA Bowling Alleys
Will Close April 1
Because a new federal tax which
the WAA cannot afford to pay will
be levied on all bowling alleys after
April 1, the alleys at the WAB will be
closed March 31, Ginny Dodd, bowl-
ing manager, announced yesterday.
Accordingly, participants in the
bowling tournament are urged to
contact their opponents immediately
and play off as many of their match-
es as possible before the alleys close.
Those matches that are not com-
pleted by the March closing date will
have to be played off at downtown
alleys or else the games will have to
be defaulted.
party," she said. "The purpose of
the Frolic is to provide a good time
for all freshman coeds."
Because of the small number of
freshman civilian men on campus
the Frosh Frolic, which in former
years has been given by the entire
freshman class, is being sponsored
this year by and for the freshman
women only. The '47 Frolic is to be
an informal get-together for the
freshman coeds to enble them to
become acquainted with each other.
Staf f To Hold
Tryou t Tod ay
There will be a meeting at 4 p.m.
today in the Publications Building
for coeds interested in working on
The Daily women's staff, according
to Mary Anne Olson, women's editor.
Coverage of the woman's page in-
cludes campus organizations, such
as the Women's War Council, WAA,
class projects, Bomber Scholarship,
Pan-Hellenic and Assembly, as well
as social functions and other news.
Newcomers to the women's staff
are considered tryouts, and receive
instruction and practice on Daily
style in writing stories and headlines.
Tryouts also have certain beats to
cover and are given more important
beats when they become members of
the sophomore staff. The women's
staff has a number of paid .junior
night editors who are responsible for
putting out each woman's page.
Those wishing further information
may call Mary Anne Olson at 2-2591
or leave their names on the women's
bulletin board at The Daily.
Sailor .Attends
Dressings Unit
"If a member of the Naval ROTC
can combine classes, PEM, various
requirements of the Navy, AND
working at the Surgical Dressing
Unit in the League, the average coed
has lost Excuse No. 1 for not putting
in some time each week at the Unit,"
Frances Goldberg, '46, a member of
the Unit central committee, said
yesterday.
A member of the local V-12 train-
ing program, who prefers to remain
anonymous, actually did fold ban-
dages at the Unit recently, "in an-
swer," he said, "to the continuous
pleas in The Daily for more workers
at the Unit."
Despite this government interfer-
ence, attendance at the Unit has
been, on the whole, poor this semes-
ter, according to reports from the
central committee. The Unit is open
from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday
through Friday of each week in the
game room on the second floor of the
League.
Each coed on campus is asked to
work at least an hour a week on sur-
gical dressings.
Residents of Adelia Cheever House,
Betsy Barbour House and S. L. Smith
and Anna E. Smith league houses
are especially invited to work at the
Unit today.
To J oin C lubs
New members of Crop and Saddle
and the University Women's Riding

will meet with their new clubs next

Crop and Saddle are Barbara Os-
borne, Gloria Kishpaugh, Martha

Ann Fleming, Mary Snyder, Eleanor

met and Pearl Eizler.
"We wish to congratulate those
coeds who have joined the clubs, and
we are very happy to have you ride
with us," Miss Coulter and Kit Ham-
mond, president of UWRC, said yes-
terday. "Because the competition
was great, and there were so many
fine riders trying out, it was a very
difficult job to choose among them."
The next meeting of Crop and
Saddle will be held at 6:15 p.m.
Wednesday, with the riders meeting
in front of Barbour Gymnasium. The
UWRC will meet at 6:15 p.m. Tues-

Woman Marines To Interview Here
Marine Sergeants Merry McGar-
raugh and Arloa Zimmer will be on
campus from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mon-
day through Wednesday in the
League to interview interested can-
didates for the Marine Corps WUto-
men's Reserve.
This is one of several trips the
Marine Reserves have made to Ann
Arbor. Those applicants who would
like to meet the recruiters must meet
the reaouirements for enlistment
which include the following: Ameri-
can citizenship, age between 20 and.
36, completion of at least two years
of high school, and general good
health. Vision requirements have
been lowered somewhat, and if eyes
can be corrected to 20 /20 with glas-
ses, they may meet the standards.
The same basic principles of re-
cruit training which the Marine
Corps use are applied to the Women's
Reserve. "Boot camp," as the Ma-
rines call the recruit depot, is at
Camp Lejeune, the huge Marine
Corps camp at New River, N.C.
The purpose of "boot camp" is to
indoctrinate recruits and to deier-
inmatef qualifications of th~e recruiit.
DarTing tfhe first few day s women re-
ceiv-e a classificaion test and an
interv iew, repoart of whtich will be
filed for future reference. The rec-
ords will help place the new Marine,
when she is graduated from "boot
<amp " in the job for which she has,
sI hown the greatest ipt itude.
Women Watch Combat Training
nt addition to this person al train-
ing the recruit is given th~e opportun -
ity of watching every phase of Ma-
rine combat training, from landing
for invasion to bayonet practice.
Major Streeter, director of the Ma-
rine Corps Women's Reserve, believes
that by closely watching other Ma-
rines preparing for the grim business
of war, the importance of releasing
Marines for active duty will not seem
slight.
More thlin half the members of the
Wemen's Reserve will be placed in
aviation units. Those with mechani-
cal ability may be sent to a Link
'Trainer school in Atlanta, Ga,., and
once trained, may actually help teach
a combat Marine to fly..
Marine Newspaper Uses Resei'vists
The mechanically-minded may go
to the Aviation Machinist Mate's
School at Norman, Okla., and end up
as part of the ground crew for some
of the famous flying ships. Writers
may find themselves n tle staff of a
Corps newrsuaper, in which her wovrds
will be read by Marines around the
globe.
The majority of the officers of the
Reserve are selected from the ranks.
and any enlisted member who has
completed her basic indoctrination
training may be irecommended for
Officer's Candidate School. There is
still, however, some opportunity for
women with specialized qualifications.
All women interested in trying
out for the Women's Glee Club are
asked to meet at 4 p.m. today in
the League.
