Appointments
To Committee
Dorothy DeVries Is Named
Chairman of Independent's
Assembly Recognition Night
Dorothy- DeVries, '44, of Martha
.Cook, was yesterday named general
chairman of Recognition Night, which
will replace the traditional Assembly
Banquet as the principal independ-
ent women's gathering of the term,
according to Doris Barr, '44, president
of Assembly.
Rosalie Bruno, '44, of Helen New-
berry, was appointed assistant chair-
man, and Lenore Chaice, '46, of
Martha Cook, and Audrey Jupp, '46 4
&D, o Helen Newberry, co-publicity
chairmen; arrangements, Edith Hel-
berg, '46, of Martha Cool:, and Kath-
ryn Johnson. '46, 1601 Washtenaw;
and Claire Macauley, '46, of Martha
Cool, and Sybil Baum, '46, of New-
berry, co-ticket chairmen.
The predominance of two dormi-
tories on the committee is the result,
according to Miss Barr, of the fact
that the majority of petitions were
turned in from Martha Cook and.
Newberry.
Although the event will take place
late in March, the committee was
named early so it can start work
immediately at the beginning of next
semester. Awards and talks will
feature the affair, which will be in
the nature of a dessert to replace the
usual banquet, vetoed because of war-
titre conditions.

Coeds provide
Pbet Squirrel's
Afternoon Teat
For Martha Cookites Sarb Osborne
and Ann Schutz, feeding time comes
four times a day, rather than the
usual prosaic three.
And it all started when they found
a plump brown squirrel on their
fourth story window ledge. Said
squirrel, looking hungry, was fed
and rewarded his benefactresses by
coming back every succeeding day at
4 p.m. for more food. Named Bot-
tomley, for another Cook resident, he
displayed an enormous appetite, and
devoured anything that was given
him. He even snuck in one day and
started chewing on an errant sock,
which was rescued by its indignant
owner.
But Bottomley offers complica-
tions. Now that the exams loom
ahead, the coeds find that it inter-
rupts an afternoon of studying to
come home and feed their squirrel.
In fact it is getting very detrimental
to their studies. But Bottomley claims
that he has never spent a winter
more profitably.
Valentine's Day To
Be Theme of USO
Formal Saturdlay
Sponsored by Regiment V of the
Junior Hostess Corps, with Jean
Gaffney as 'Colonel,' a formal dance
in the Valentine's Day theme will be
given from 8:30 p.m. to midnight
Saturday at the USO Club.
All Junior Hostesses in Regiment
V must attend this dance, but other
Hostesses may attend also.
Pfc. Robert Bentley and Pfc. Ches-
ter Sergent of Co. C will be heard at
the USO floor show "Heart to Heart"
which will be presented at this dance.
They will each sing several selections
from Co. C's forthcoming original.
musical comedy "Bidin' Our Time"
which will be presented some time in
March.
The show is now being rehearsed
with 17 men of Co. C and several Ann
Arbor girls taking the various parts.
Coeds May Obtain

Activities Heads
Praise Coeds'
Hours of Work
Adelia Cheever House Places
First of Dorms in Time Spent
in Extra-Curricular Pursuits
The great number of hours spent
by University coeds in extra-curricu-
lar activities was highly praised yes-
terday by Monna Heath, '44. presi-
dent of the War Council, who com-
mented that University women "are
doing a swell job" as the statistics
for the month of December were
released by the Council.
Coeds in Adelia Cheever House
worked an average of 53 hours per
girl in extra-curricular activities to
top the report. Cheever's 25 residents
put in a total of 1,325 hours of work,
most of it concentrated on paid jobs,
work inside the house, and on cam-
pus publications.
In second place 'is the group of
coeds living in the Michigan League,
where the average per person was 46
hours. Another small house, Alum-
nae House, followed with 36.5 hours
per person, most of which was paid
work.
Martha Cook coeds put in 4,158
extra-curricular hours during De-
cember, for an average of 30.8 hours
per person. 'he majority of hours
from Cook Building were spent in
non -paid campus War activities. Mar-
tha Cook also has the only C.A.P.
cadet, aid therefore wins in a walk
with flying hours.
Also high on the averages are three
more small h'duses: Ingalls, with 27.7;
Geddes, 20, and Hill, 19. Leading the
larger Jniversity-operated residence
halls is Helen Newberry, where coeds
have worked an average of 18.8 hours
for Pecember.
Other averages are as follows:
Stockwell and Mosher Halls, 15.3
each; Betsy Barbour. 14.4; Day
House, 12.8; Jordan Hall, 10.7; Wash-
tenaw House, 7.6, and University

os ptal Work Flls
"The monthly report of volunteer
work at University Hospital indicates
that some .of the workers have start-
ed to drop out as finals near," Carol
Evans, chairman of soph project, said
yesterday.
One hundred and ninety seven co-
eds contributed 1,915 hours at Uni-
versity Hospital while 12 girls con-
tributed 47 hours at St. Joseph's Hos-
pital. The volunteer service at St.
Joseph's was recently made a part of
soph project.
Twelve coeds made the honor roll
at University Hospital for working
18 or more hours during January.
Onalee Anderson led the roll by con
tributing 31 hours. Judith Rado was
second with 20 hours to her credit.
Frances Mullin and Helen Klein
worked 27 hours. Patricia Clancey
and Marion Seamen worked 24. Jean
Muller, Barbara Defnet and Elaine
Stembol gave 21 hours while Martha
Lovette and Dorothy Petrie complet-
ed the honor roll with 19 hours each.
Miss Evans urged all volunteers to
continue working through the two
remaining weeks of classes and said
that arrangements should be made
to work when possible during final
week.
Workers are especially needed dur-
ing the evenings and on week-end
afternoons. St. Joseph's needs vol-

Frosh Frolic Hairbow To Be
Plans Revised Order of Day
Skits To Provide Entertainment In
At Party for '47 Women Only

Revised plans for the Frosh Frolic
to be held 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday,
Mar. 24, at Waterman Gymnasium,
were announced today by Estelle
Klein, chairman of the '47 Corps.
Contrary to the original plan and
to the custom of previous years, the
'47 Frolic will be held for freshmen
women only and is to provide oppor-
tunity for all freshmen women on
campus to become acquainted with
each other. It will be an original
costume party. Each girl is expected
to "dream up" a clever outfit using
any old clothes she has on hand.
Entertainment will be in the form
of skits provided by the various hous-
es.
Last year, in accordance with the
plans set out by the League, the var-
ious classes abandoned their usual
Frolics, Cabarets and Plays. Instead
the freshmen undertook the enter-
taining of the servicemen stationed
on the campus for their project and
did not sponsor their Frolic.
However, in all previots years the
incoming class has had some kind of
a dance. The Class of '47 adds a
new note when they put on an all-
girl affair, for the former ones have
been functions with a "name band."
unteer help during mealtime to pass
trays. University volunteers must
wear navy blue, black or white skirts,
white blouses and long hose. St. Jo-
seph's volunteers do not wear uni-
forms, but are asked to wear light-
colored blouses.
Workers may report to the volun-
teer offices on the third floor of Uni-
versity Hospital to be assigned posts.
The nurses' office on the first floor is
volunteer headquarters at St. Jo-
seph's.
110Q tqundry Hours
Ninety-eight coeds put in 1,100
hours of work in the University laun-
dry, an average of 11.2 hours per
person, during the month of January,
it was announced yesterday by Ger-
aldine Stadelman, '44, War Council
Personnel Administrator.
"The girls have done wonderful
work," Miss Stadelman said yester-
day, adding that University women
would continue to work during exam-
ination week.
Shirley Hastings, '46, put in the
greatest individual amount of work
for the month, with 50 hours. Virjean
Chesky, '46, is second with 4334
hours, followed by Josephine Wierz-
bowska, '46Ed., who has worked 391/2
hours, and Marcia Netting, '45, with
32% hours. Patricia Honn, '46, and
Dorothy Lundstrom, '45, have each
put in 30 hours.
Curbs on Building
Will Not Be Relaxed
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-(P)-The
armed forces need so much lumber
that there is scarcely any possibility
of relaxing the curbs on civilian con-
struction in 1944, the War Produc-
tion Board said today.
Prospects for lumber production
this year are substantially under the
34 billion board feet needed, said Roy
V. Johnson, director of WPB's facili-
ties bureau. Seventy per cent of the
total needs are for the armed forces.

"Bows for Bonds" is today's motto,
for Junior Girls Project expects each
coed on campus to wear a hairbow to
prove she has bought an extra war
stamp in JGP's special boost for its
$30,000 goal for the year. it was an-
nounced recently by Marcia Netting,
'45, of the central committee.
Stamps will be sold and bows
handed out at points all over campus
and in the women's larger dormitor-
ies. While the amount of stamps
bought is voluntary, the JGP central
committee urges each coed to buy as
many as possible to spark the drive.
Vari-Colored Ribbons,
Ribbons will be of dillerent colors
so there will be no difficulty ;uch as
a green bow with a blue sweater, and
red-heads need not fear a clashing
shade of orange.
Women's houses have been as-
signed to sell stamps and hand out
bows at campus posts as follows:
Diagonal center, Collegiate Sorosis
and Alpha Phi; Romance Language
Building, Alpha Delta Pi. Alpha Epsi-
lon Phi, Chi Omega and Alpha Xi
Delta; between University Hall and
Angell Hall, Kappa Kappa Ganina
and Gamma Phi Beta; Barbour Gym-
nasium, Pi Beta Phi and Kappa Al-
pha Theta.
List Continues
In the League Lobby will be Delta
Gamma and Kappa Delta.; Engineer-
ing Arch, Alpha Omicron Pi, Sigma
Delta Tau, Zeta Tau Alpha and Alpha
Gamma Delta; Natural Science Buil-
ding, Delta Delta Delta and Alpha
Chi Omega.
Women's dormitories--Mosher and
Jordan Halls, Stockwell Hall, Martha
Cook Building, Betsy Barbour House
and Helen Newberry Residence-will
have stamps sold and bows issued in
the buildings throughout the day.
Alpha Omicron Pi has announced
the recent electiotis of new officers.
The new president is Nancy Hoff-
man; vice-president, Joyce Den Her-
der; recording secretary, Betsy
Whitehouse; corresponding secretary,

PSALM OF LIFE
LL us not in naive numbers
College Life's a happy dream,
For, the things we've been suspecting
Are exactly what they seem.
LIFE is marks and life is bluebooks,
Life is quizzes unannounced;
Life is lots of outside reading,
Life is pleasures spurned, denounced.
LIFE is clocks that aren't working,
Life is men that aren't here;
Life's the card that you are missing
And must have to buy the beer.
LIFE is eight o'clock in winter,
Three o'clocks when spring appears;
Life is rules and regulations,
And the joke that no one hears.
IN THE battle of Ann Arbor-
It's a battle, heaven knows-
Who can even boast of having ,
Witnessed all the latest shows?
UNIVERSITIES are funny,
Roommates haven't got a cent;
And you'll find the course you've chosen
Cut out in the supplement.
" IFE is theses, all unwritten,
Life in finals close a't hand;
Life is poets writing verses
Telling you that life is grand.
LET us then be up and reading
Lots of textbooks, good and deep;
Still no good at memorizing,
Learn to do without our sleep.
