"We want the house presidents' meetings to become an open forum where the ideas and problems under discussion by the students in their respective houses can be aired and a decision reached," Miss MacMillan stated. After the house presidents have voted on a measure, their decision would be carried out by the Women's War Council. In this way the plans made would be in accordance with student opinion as revealed in the house presidents' meetings. All house presidents are urgently requested -to attend the meetings, Miss MacMillan added. Only in this way can the body regain its status as a living, breathing, influential organ- ization as it has been when the plan was successfully in effect in former years. If the full cooperation of the house presidents is received, meet- ings will be held more often than WAA SCHEDULE Volley Ball:' 5:20 p. m. tomorrow: Wash- tenaw vs. Barbour; Alpha Chi' Omega vs. Collegiate Sorosis. 5:20 p. m.

League Library Is Quiet Haven For AllWomen By MARY ANNE OLSON Offering a pleasant, comfortable atmosphere for long, quiet hours of uninterrupted study or for "brows- ing," the League library is open from 12:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. throughout the year. Strictly a women's retreat, the li- brary, located on the. third floor of the League, is open to all women stu- dents, faculty wives and alumnae of the University. Its support has come entirely from the undergraduate wo- men, with gifts and revenue from cir- culation extending the collection year by year. 2,400 Books and Periodicals The library has been operating continuously since 1935, and at pre- sent has more than 2400 of the lat- est popular books, as well as many current periodicals. Constantly sup- plementing the collection are new books donated by individuals or groups and books purchased with mo- ney collected in fines. An extensive collection of modern plays, one of the most valuable assets of the library, is kept on the Alice C.' Lloyd shelf. The collection has been built up by gifts from Miss Lloyd and by presents from Senior Society, the senior honorary society for indepen- dent women. Marriage Relations Mortarboard Society, all-campus senior honorary society for women, has built up a complete group of books on marriage relations. In addi- tion to these two collections, the li- brary's collection centers mainly around fiction, drama, poetry, popu- lar biography and popular non-fic- On '47 Corps "Only 20 women worked on the '47 Corps last week," Marcia Sharpe, '44, chairman of the project, an- nounced yesterday. "Freshman women should realize that it is their responsibility to sup- port their class project. Sophomore women work at the hospital, Juniors sell war stamps and bonds, Seniors sponsor the surgical dressings unit, and Freshmen are given the job of keeping the campus clean," Miss Sharpe said. "Twenty women out of 800 is certainly not a record for freshmen to be proud of.""0 '47 Corps headquarters is in the sub-station in back of Waterman Gymnasium. The station is unlocked during the afternoons and the key may be obtained in the mornings from Miss Ethel MacCormick's office in the League. Workers are assigned to various campus posts and are given jobs such as raking leaves and picking up papers. Rakes and other equipment are kept at the sub-station. Workers are advised to wear warm clothing, jeans or slacks, and warm jackets. Heavy gloves or mittens are recommended. "Representatives from each fresh- man residence will meet at 5 p.m. Tuesday in the League," Miss Sharpe announced. "Plans for recruiting more girls will be discussed and it is hoped that we can accomplish much before cold weather makes it impos- sible to work." tion. There are very few text books on the shelves. The periodical subscriptions that are maintained by the library are the Atlantic Monthly, Good Housekeep- ing, Mademoiselle, New Yorker, Reader's Digest, Saturday Review of Literature, Time, Vogue and The Dai- ly. The books in the library may be taken out by the students. The latest acquisitions have been set aside for rental purposes 4t a rate of three cents a day with no minimum, charge. The rest, with the exception of the reference books, may be taken out for a two week period. New Ski Club Is Org n1zed WAB Will Be Scene of Initial Meeting of Latest WAA Group Because of the demands of coeds for ski instruction, WAA has organ- ized a Ski Club which will hold its in- itial meeting at 5 p.m. Tuesday in the small lounge of the WAB. Louise Forbush, '45, Awards Chair- man of WAA and manager of the new club, will give further information a- bout meetings and instruction at this time. While no experience is needed for a woman to join this club, women who have done some skiing before are wel- come. It is not necessary to own skiis or ski poles, because all equipment can be rented for a small sum at the WAB. Actual skiing will be done in the Arboretum as soon as there is enough snow on the ground. Coeds Are Needed In Dressings Unit To Meet Big Quota All coeds are urged to participate during at least an hour a week in the work of the surgical dressings unit, according to Jean Whittemore, '44, general chairman. There has been an emergency call from the Red Cross for Washtenaw County to double its quota of dress- ings, Miss Whittemore stated. The reason for the increased quota is probably the heavy fighting on all fronts and the need of building up an emergency reserve against the very possible opening of new battle areas. More instructors are needed at the unit, which is open from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in *the game room of the League. Any woman can become an instructor upon the completion of six hours of work in the unit and the passing of a Red Cross test. Women who cannot make dressings during afternoon hours may work from 7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Wednes- day and Thursday evenings at the Rackham Building. This station is filling an emergency quota of cotton pads for the Army which must be completed by Jan. 1. At opjiotue 1 ld at 3:30 p.m. Friday in Rackham Audi- torium to advise all rushees on the problems that will confront them during the rushing period, Mary June Hastreiter, '44, president of Panhel- lenic, stressed the importance of be- ing careful in their choice of sorority. This year an honor system has been put into effect between sorority and non-sorority women to take the place of the former silence period which extended throughout the rush- ing season between sorority and in- dependent women. All sorority wo- men have been put on their honor not to enter any dormitory or league house where freshmen and indepen- dent women are living, not to make any pre-arranged dates with the in- tention of rushing, nor discuss sor- ority in their meetings with non- sorority women. Should Report Violators Freshmen and upperclass indepen- dent women were requested to watch out for any violations of the honor system and to lower their respect and consideration for any organization which attempts to influence them for or against any other organization or the same organization. In this way, there is a double check against any illegal rushing on the part of any sorority. Sue Wood, '44, rushing chairman of Panhellenic, read through all the rushing rules as set down in the Pan- hellenic rushing bulletin making a few essential corrections in order to clarify all details to the rushees. It is necessary for any upperclass woman who goes out for rushing to have at least fifteen hours of ad- vanced credit and a "C" average. No woman student who has less than the required two point average is entitled to attend any rushing function. Only Five Parties "No rushee may attend more than five parties at any one house." In- cluded in these five parties are the open house and the final desserts. After the open house, a rushee may attend only one party per house for the following two week-ends. Postcards will be mailed to all in- vited rushees Monday evenings fol- lowing the week-end functions for the second and third parties and for the fourth and fifth parties. Every rushee must answer her invitation in one way or another by Wednesday evening for the second and third par- ties and may not break a date once it has been accepted. For the fourth' and fifth week-end parties, rushees must accept or refuse their invita- tions by Wednesday evening but may receive invitations via the telephone following that deadline. However, no rushee may break a phone call invi- tation after Thursday evening. Before any woman may accept a bid to any house, she must have been at that particular house at least two times before the final dessert party. Each rushee may attend three parties per week-end. Pledging of upperclassmen will take place at 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 16 aftier a siltqIce piod extciiduig from the time when the preference slips have been turned in and the time when pledging will occur. Freshmen may not be pledged until Sunday, March 12, after they have made the required sorority grades. The sororities have been divided into two districts for the open house teas and all rushees with the last names from M through Z will visit District I today and those with last names from A through L will visit houses in District II. The opening teas are scheduled from 2:30 to 7:30 p.m. and each rushee is required to visit every house in her respective district and is permitted to remain >nly 20 minutes at each house.
