Pan-Hel President fnnounces Rules For Rush in eason Sorority Women May Not Enter Dorms, League Houses To Meet Independents; Honor System Replaces Silence Period "Women may sign up for rushing from Nov. 17 to Nov. 29 at a special booth in the League," Mary June Hastreiter, '44, president of Pan-Hellenic, announced yesterday, as coeds at last learned of what the current rushing rules would consist. A revelation in rushing policy came to light with the announcement that although no sorority women may enter a dormitory or league house where independent women are living, make any pre-arranged date with independents, or meet them with the4> USO Hostesses Heed Advice of DIX, POST AND CARNEGIE Mother, D u *V ; kHo_ or H ospital Corps By BETTY ROTH THE ADVENTURES of a USO hostess can be many and varied for the' clever ones who will make the most of their opportunities, but when you stroll into Harris Hall, take care. The counsel of Dorothy Dix, Emily Post, and Dale Carnegie is to be heeded, of course-but there's more. The famed three are very profound, but they have never been, at least officially, service men's entertainers. Your success will depend on a number of very subtle little things. Above all, your attitude toward your job must be a selfless one. You are there to entertain, not to be entertained, and therein lies the difference between.your dates as a free agent and as a USO hostess. If Jim can't dance, you don't give him the brush-off; and when GI Joe steps on your feet, you smile your most charming smile and suggest playing bridge or gin runmny. ANOTHER pitfall is being over-anxious. Be casual not predatory. Until all else fails, and even then think twice, wait until the stunning one over there' asks you to dance. In manner and dress, be your most feminine self, but save your siren moments for your favorite furlougher. Wear com- fortable shoes, because you're going to dance a lot, but saddles are not acceptable for week-end dances. THEY'RE gentlemen at heart and since they can only ask you to dance, they won't want to insult your friends. Moral: Packs scare them, so be a lone wolf. Neither the rules nor ethics require you to be exclusive in dispensing charm. Unless you're more than normally in- trigued, circulate. Remember your duty as a hostess means that you want your guests to have the best time possible. You can have fun yourself by seeing that you are a good hostess. THE PROBLEM of entertaining servicemen is a war problem which coeds can solve. - Betty Roth Figure Skates, Minimum Ability Are Passwords into WAA Club I"All that is required to aecmea Needs f tU Services Coeds intention of rushing or discussing sororities and sorority policies, there will be no silence period as of old. Honor System in Effect The system to be relied upon this year is the honor system, and with this in mind it will be possible for sorority women and independent wo- men to speak when meeting. These rules go into effect immediately, and any violations of them will be re- ported to Pan-Hellenic. At the time that women sign up to rush, they will be given booklets ex- plaining sorority policy, rushing rules, and a variety of other details they will need to 'know before they invade sorority row. These booklets will be available at the rushing booth only.f Rushees To Meet A meeting for all rushees will be held Friday, Nov. 26, in the League, and every woman who plans to rush must attend the meeting. It is ex- pected that many of the problems which annually confront women planning to rush will be cleared up in this way before the r.ushing period begins. Sigma Delta has been admitted to Pan-Hellenic Association as a new member this year and will be eligible to rush along with the other sorori- ties already established on the cam- pus, Miss Hastreiter also announced. Jacqueline Cochran Is New Director of Army Women Pilots WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-(lP)-The appointment of Miss Jacqueline Cochran as director of women pilots in the Army Air Forces and special assistant to Maj. Gen. Barney M. Giles, assistant chief of air staff, was announced today by the War depart- ment. Since September, Miss Cochran has been director of women's flying training of "the air forces' flying training command, and the program she devised already has graduated approximately 150 pilots, with hun- dreds more in training. At the same time, the department announced that Mrs. Nancy Harkness Love, organizer and senior squadron leader of the women's auxiliary ferry- ing squadron since last September, has been assigned as an executive to the staff of Col. William H. Tunner, commanding officer of the ferrying division, air transport command, with headquarters in Cincinnati. New Unit Hits 'M' Campus 47 Corps To Rake Leaves A new corps of 94 specialized ser- vicemen has just hit campus. The uniform is anything %raarm,j anything durable. The special wea- pon is a complicated mechanism made of wood and wire. The particu- lar enemy of'the corps is the litter of leaves and papers that persist in cluttering the campus. Yes, it's the '47 Corps composed of servicewomen not men. They are freshmen women who want to do their part to sink the Axis by helping at home. Fun Compensates for Wages Formerly University coeds kept the campus neat by working on the ground crew for a fixed hourly wage. Now the freshmen have taken over and are working for fun, fresh air, and physical fitness, not for money. "This class of '47 is ea1sn ambi- tious," Marcia Sharpe,''44A, tempor- arily chairman of the Corps, com- mented yesterday after working with them for three days. "As soon as pos- sible they will be working under their own leaders. Until then orientation advisers are serving as foremen." Operate in Divisions The Corps is composed of several divisions. Each division has a speci- fic part of the campus to keep clean. For example the seventh division is responsible for the appearance of the general library grounds. Besides wanting to keep the camin pus clean for the satisfaction of the student body, the '47 Corps has ano- ther objective. "Have the campus looking neat for President Ruthven when he gets home" is what these freshmen coeds are working for.

To Skate at Coliseum Members skate at the Coliseum weekly and develop skill continuous- ly with the end in mind that they will be able to participate in the annual Spring Ice Carnival. Miss Upson has already made arrangements for the club to present at least one number in the carnival, and it is possible that two or more will be given by the Uni- versity club: Plans for the year will be formiulat- ed at the introductory meeting Mon- day, and definite skating times will be, arranged. Miss JJpson Is Teacher Miss Upson, a figure skater of great ability, has already proved herself to be a competent teacher, has appeared choice. Motorwonen 'Take Controls in skating carnivals all over the country and has received several pro- fessional offers, so the novice figure skater may rest assured that she will be receiving the best in instruction. As in all campus activities, fresh- man women are eligible to participate in the Figure Skating Club, and Miss Upson urges all women with even a minimum of skating experience be- hind them to attend the meeting. Slacks are still a matter of personal. JGP Petitions Due Today "Pettions for the two vacancies on JGP central committee must be in the undergraduate offices of the League by today," Deborah Parry, '45, announced yesterday. The two vacancies are at the head of the house and dormitory sales of war stamps and bonds. Interviews will be held between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday. The names of the women receiving appointments will be posted in the League. JGP is sponsoring the sale of war stamps and bonds to all University women. The aim of the central com- mittee is to sell at least $1 worth of stamps each month to every coed on campus. Sales in dormitories and so- rority houses will be directed by house presidents. Salesmen will be appointed to canvas their houses at regular intervals. "Although JGP is a junior project, it is the responsibility of every Michi- gan woman to make it a success." Miss Parry said. "Our goal this year is to raise $30,000 and we cannot do this unless every coed does her part." TWedding s (N .and r Engagemen ts IK I.t 1 . I.

Lucky's, Chesterfields, Old Golds, The prosaic trolley car-its death knell seemingly sounded by the sub- way, the bus, and the automobile-is getting a new wartime lease on life with women motormen as a practical solution to local transportation prob- lems arising from manpower short- ages. Fifteen women, who might be the vanguard of New York City's femin- ine operators, began in earnest yes- terday the business of learning how to operate the lumbering trolley car at the instruction school of the BMT. A grandmother, several young mo- thers, housewives and factory work- ers went to work with a will on dum- my controls, street car equipment, motor switches and routes, to fill the depleted ranks of the Board of Trans- portation. This first group of stu- dents is anxious to make good, and, accgrding to W. E. Box, superinten- dent of instruction, if their initial en- thusiasm is any indication, they will. A Variety of Reasons The women responded to recent pleas by the Board of Transportation feeling that they too should do their bit toward winning the war. Some came because it offered an opportuni- ty to fulfill a desire long held to be at the controls of one of these hissing and rumbling behemoths, while oth- ers applied because of sentiment and family traditions. Take Mrs. Ruth Phillis, 22 years old, of 54-16 Sixty-ninth Place, Mas- peth, Queens, who comes from a fam- ily of street car motormen. Her hus- band, John, has been a street-car mo- torman for three years, and her fa- ther-in-law, Charles Phillips, recent- ly resigned after forty-four years of service in the field. "Every time I ever rode on one," said Ethel Womble of 632 Throop Avenue, Brooklyn, "I was dying to be at the controls. I've just always wanted -to run a trolley."
