tories and auxiliary dorms meet with
those of the co-op houses at a
weekly meeting presided over by the

New Raincoats
Make ,Campus
Bright, Colorful
By MABLE SELTZER
CHEERY new colors and styles are I
now being featured in women's
rain gear throughout the country.
All-season trench and princess 'styled
coats that take to shower or shine
and have the versatility of matching
almost every outfit are becoming a
"must" in every girl's wardrobe.
R AINCOATS no longer play the
drab, dull and uninteresting part
in the wardrobe they formerly had.
They have gained recognition and
are a very important part of a wo-
man's dress. Many of the new styled
coats are accompanied with match-
ing headgear, purse covers and um-
brellas. Spring is a heart-stirring
season and these perky, gay outfits do
wonders for morale and appearance
on rainy days.
T jHE MILITARY way of life, preva-
lent in styles for some time, are
now accented in stirring color con-
binaticns on intriguing fabrics. Snug,
suave, tied in waistlines and broad
built out shoulders are flattering
styles to almost every figure. Deep
slashed pockets, perfect for filing
away compacts, combs and other sun-
dry articles, are both convenient and
practical.
SHINY satin coats with large pearl
or plastic buttons are dressy en-
ough for evening dates as well as
practical daytime wear. They come
in the darker shades, too, and are
perfect for protection of light weight]
suits and dresses on blustery days.
O IL-SILK raincoats are comfort-
able coverings for warm weather
and have startling patterns and col-
ors that create both interest and
individuality. They are easy to carry
around and can be rolled up into
small articles when the sun comes
out.
RAINY days are interesting and de-
lightful this spring with the ap-
pearance of rain togs detailed with
dressmaker finesse. There will be a
cessation of "spring rain gloom" this
season.
All of the badminton games in
the singles tournament must be
played by 3:30 p.m. tomorrow. ac-
cording to Martha Allen, badmin-
ton manager. Players are asked to
record the winner on the sheet

Coed Volunteers
Are Still Needed
For Hospitals
Soph Project's hospital volunteer
service at both University and St.
Joseph's hospitals still has openings
for those coeds who are interested in
aiding to alleviate the prevailing
acute shortage of nurses.
All women who intend to register
for this vital work may do so at the
volunteer offices at either hospital by
April 9. After that time, no addi-
tional applications will be accepted.
Period Extended
Originally, the deadline was set
for April 1, but due to rushing, the
period has been extended to the
later date. No orientation period is
planned for those additional coeds
who will sign for work within the
next week. They may choose hours
for volunteer service which are most
convenient for them.
At both University and St. Joseph's
Hosritals, volunteers may be found
any day in the week, and their work
is not confined to the daylight hours.
Many work in the evenings as well
if they are not able to spare the
time during the day.
The work of a volunteer is inter-
esting and varied. Soph Project's
coeds work in wards, in clinics, on
private floors, in laboratories, in the
admitting department, in pediatrics,
in occupational therapy and at a
host of other jobs.
Third Year for Project
Hospital volunteer service has been
the sole project of the sophomore
class for the past two years. Before
that time, its efforts were directed
solely toward the presentation of
Soph Cabaret. However, this spring,
the sophomore class will again revive
the traditional Soph Cabaret in ad-
dition to its well-appreciated hospital
volunteer service.
So far this semester, the number
of hours contributed by those women
who have already been affiliated with
Soph Project has been considerably
less than those contributed in pre-
vious months.
According to Virginia Councell,
chairman of the project, women who
sign to work at a specific time must
realize that they are expected to
appear as scheduled. "Reliability, ac-
cording to Miss Councell, is one of
the prime attributes of an efficient
and valuable hospital volunteer."
Deadine Is Set
For Junior Dues
The deadline for the collection of
junior class dues will be Tuesday, ac-
cording to Mary Bartley, secretary-
treasurer of Junior Girls play.
Dues have been set at $1, and will
be used to finance JG play. The
collections will be made by house
presidents, who will be responsible
for the dues from their own house.
Those women who live in private
homes or apartments will have an
opportunity to pay their dues from
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday in the
Undergraduate office in the League.
Only those women who have paid
their dues will be eligible to work on
the play in any capacity. Miss Bart-
ley explained that it is traditional
that juniors finance their class play
with their own money.
United National Clothing Collec-
tion offers a welcome solution to the
perennial coed problem of struggling
to extricate the favorite pleated.
skirt from the overcrowded depths
of a notoriously small clothes closet,
only to find a mass of diagonal
creases where vertical pleats ought
to be.
The national drive to round up
clothing desperately needed for
overseas war relief will last
throughout April. National "Clean
Out Your Clothes Closet Week" has
been officially designated as April
8 to April 14.
Any serviceable outgrown, out-of-
date, or spare clothing and shoes
will be acceptable. Clothing collect-
ed will be sorted and sent to regional
warehouses preparatory to being
shipped overseas.
In Europe alone, there are 30,000,-
000 boys and girls who have scarcely
enough clothing to attend school,
and no warm enough clothing to play
outdoors. In many devastated sec-
tions of Europe, bitter weather for-
ces children to stay in bed, in order
to keep warm. Worn sheets and
towels are converted into garments
for older children, and new born
babies are frequently wrapped in
newspaper.
Very little new clothing has been
available at any price since the out-
break of war in many sections of
Europe. Such warm garments and
shoes as families might have man-
aged to save were often stolen by
enemy soldiers as they ransacked'
homes.
Teachers and ministers, who were
bombed or driven out of their homes,
often lack the necessary clothing to
continue their work.
Henry J. Kaiser, the west coast
:hipbuilder, is in charge oTf the
nationwide campaign. Active on the
national committee are Mrs. Frank-
lin D. Roosevelt, Helen Hayes, Dor-
othy Thompson, Mrs. J. Borden Har-
riman, and Mrs. LaFell Dickinson.

of Women's Clubs.
