Harris Hall has been com- pletely redecorated for its new duties as a USO center. On the first floor is a reception room, arts and crafts room and library in which the guests can read or write letters. In the base- ment is a ping-pong room which may be used at the dance. On the second floor is the ballroom which will be the scene of the formal dance and of all other dances to be held in Harris Hall. Work Crew Needed For USO BuildingI Coeds are urgently needed to hxelp clean up Harris Hall for the dedica- tion ceremony and the dance, so all women who are willing to Work should go to the building between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. Coathangers are still needed for the cloakroom and women are asked to bring some with them when they come to USO functions. The USO Poster Committee needs members, and any coed who is inter- ested in designing and lettering post- ers is urged to volunteer. Helpers should bring their own materials over to Harris Hall to work as soon as possible. To Red Cross Every Serviceman Will Have Christmas Boxes as Presents; Each House Should Give One In order that every man in ser- vice, whether sick or well, may have; a present at Christmas time, Univer- sity women have been asked to do- nate boxes, according to Monna Heath, '44, President of the Wo- men's War Council. This drive is being sponsored by the War Council in conjunction with the American Red Cross of Ann Arbor. It will be done under the auspices of the Camp and Hospital service. Every house on campus has been asked to contribute at least one box. The minimum cost of each box should be $1.00, and the maximum cost, $2. The packages should be wrapped plainly, but with Christmas stickers and seals so that they will look like gifts. The name and address of the donor or donors should be enclosed in the box. All boxes must be brought to Miss McCormick's office in the League by Dec. 17. Some of the suggestions offered by Miss Heath in her letter to the house 'presidents for the contents of the boxes are packs of cards, cigarettes, white or GI handkerchiefs, station- cry, toilet articles, and billfolds. "Each house is being asked to give at least one box, but the more boxes the better. This is a real chance for us to show our servicemen personally how grateful we are for all that they are doing for us," Miss Heath ex- plained. BUSINESS IS FINE OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 9.-()- Alongside his "waitress wanted'! sign, which is standard in restaurants here. Hal Hearn placed another reading: "We sell bobbie pins." He had imported ones. That was in June. "I never thought. then," said Hearn today, "that I'd be doing a $15 or $20 a day business, in bobbie pins." The "Bond Bombers" of Junior Girls' Project will tackle the campus' "Lounge Lizards," otherwise known as slackers, shirkers, or parasites, in Michigan's first women's ice-hockey game between halves of the Mich- igan-London A.C. clash at 8p.m. to- morrow in the Coliseum. The game is the coed's attempt to poitray the dire consequences of the ew draf ua "Women have taken over nearly everything else on cain- pus," said Peg Weiss; '45, coach of the "Bombers." "Why not the hockey rink? This might be a step toward other things we'd like to take over (i. e., the I-M swimming pool), so it's up to the women of Michigan to come down to the Coliseum Saturday night and support our first effort in this direction. "Though our brooms (substituted for hockey sticks) will give the game a decidedly feminine touch," she con- tinued, "don't be unprepared for a fight. The controtversy running in The DailY will be put into action on the rink in a lighter version-defin- itely lighter, as we want to entertain the 'audience, not afgravate it.' "Please don't mistake the girls on the 'Linge Lizard' team for the real Lizards," she said. enember that Athletic Heads T Meet Today There will be a meeting at 4 p.m. today in the League for all the zone athletic managers recently appointed by the Women's Athletic Association, Jean Gaskill, '4, coordinator for the league houses on the WAA Board, announced yesterday.

We could never get a real, living Lizard into an ice-hockey game!" The team will practice at the Coli- seum at 1:30 tomorrow. Anyone in- terested in getting into the game who has not yet reported in urged to come to the rink at that time. "No skating ability is necessary," Peg Weiss in- sists. "Just 'nerve'." The game will be played with brooms and a block of wood and, while rules for the game have not been drastically altered. they have been touched up a bit. Penalties will be shortened to one minute, and will include swatting, calling names and anything else which might obstruct the game. Women Lauded As Cooperators In Blood Bank "The response of women to donate blood for the December Blood Bank was excellent in every way," accord- ing to Josephine Fitzpatrick, '46, chairman of the Women's Blood Bank, recently. "I don't want the girls to feel that their blood isn't needed, just because the° appointments made last week have been cancelled. There will be another Blood Bank in January, and I hope that all the women will sign up again," continued Miss Fitzpat- rick. Postcards have been sent /to the women who signed up telling them of the cancellations. Girls may call for their written parental consent at Miss McCormick's office in the League. Four hundred soldiers from Fort Custer volunteered their blood to the Detroit mobile unit of the Red Cross as a Christmas present. Since the mobile unit must stay within a radius of 40 miles from its base, arrangements were made in Detroit to have the soldiers meet the mobile unit when it was in Ann Arbor Dec. 16 and 17. Proxy Parents Can 'Staned- In' For Mothers Ann Arbor mothers who haven't been able to leave their homes for weeks because of having no help to stay with young children, can give a long sigh of relief. The Proxy Par- ents Corps, composed of Michigan coeds, will come to the rescue. The Proxy Parents are a subdivi- sion of the League's Child Care Com- mittee, specifically organized for assistance to harassed housewives. Many of these volunteers, according to Jo Ann Peterson, '44, chairman, have had experience with babies and young children. Proxy Parents are payed thirty cents an hour for their services. At night the employers must make some provision for their helpers getting home. Corps members are available for the assistance of mothers at all hours of the day and evening and may be obtained by calling the League, 23251, or Miss Peterson, 4089. "The demand for Proxy Parents," Miss Peterson emphasized, "is often larger than the supply." Women who wish to enlist in the group should get in touch with Miss Peter- son or register at the undergraduate office in the League.

Surgical Dressings Quarters Enlarged No one shall be turned away from the Surgical Dressings room in the League because of lack of room in the future, according to Jean Whit- temore, '44, head of the unit, for the large turnouts have caused the over- flow to be moved into the Kalamazoo Room, With Christmas vacation coming, Miss Whittemore urges that every volunteer try to come in to work extra hours as there is a constant demand for surgical dressings Irom the front. Laundry Needs Coed Workers Wages To Be Given Helpers Who Volunteer in Emergency "The University Laundry is urging more coeds to sign up for work so that larger orders can be accepted and the Ann Arbor laundry problem at least partially solved," Gerry Sta- dleman, '44, chairman of the project, said yesterday. 53c an hour is paid for laundry work and University students are asked to handle only clean material. Two hours a week is the minimum time which any girl may work. These hours must be at the same time every week and excused absences may be obtaiqed only through Miss Ethel McCormick, director of undergrad- uate activities, at the League. Workers are advised to wear blous- es rather than sweaters as the work' rooms become rather warm. Ordi- nary school shoes and skirts are suitable for the work. "Dependability and conscientious- ness are prerequisites for all work- ers," Miss Stadleman said. "No girl is wanted who will not work every week and do a creditable job."
