The Bulletin, edited by Mrs. Lu- cle B. Conger, executive secretary of the Alumnae council, consists of Social Activities For Fall Listed Stress on the revival of University traditions, a project to entertain ser- vicemen at Percy Jones, and a new system of entertaining for Interna- tional Center Teas have been placed at the top of the list of Social Com- mittee plans for next fall. Hoping to bring to light again some of the small Michigan traditions, such as not walking 'on the seal at the main library, the Social Committee plans to sponsor a series of lectures on the University. Hospital Project To Be Undertaken An activity whereby coeds will make frequent trips to Percy Jones Veteran's Hospital at Battle Creek to act as hostesses for dances, similar to the recent journey made by 72 women from Gamma Phi Beta, Sor- osis, and the Women's War Council is also being promoted.

Soon after the United States en- tered the war, the Alumnae council began to cOmflpile a list of names and addresses of Michigan women in ser- vice. Each was sent a card asking for her address and rank, and for in- formation concerning her work. From this correspondence Mrs. Conger gathered the material fbr the first. issue of her news letter in December, 1942. Publication Sent Overseas Sponsored by the Alumnae coun- cil, the publication is sent out to alumnae overseas and in the United States who are serving with the arm- ed forces or the American Red Cross. "We receive letters of apprecia- tion every week from all parts of the world," Mrs. Conger said, "and in several instances Michigan women have discovered, through our Bulle- tin, that a former friend or class- mate was serving nearby. Many small groups have been' brought together through the News Bulletin." Mrs. Conger keeps a file containing a card for each alumna in service, on which is kept information as to her rank, work, and location. These cards are revised each month with the addition of news from the latest letters which the council has received. To Be Issued Throughout War The Bulletin is to be issued throughout the course of the war. "It has done a great deal to intelest women in the alumnae organization," Mrs. Conger asserted. The publica- tion is mimeographed and mailed out from the League under the sponsor- ship of the Alumnae Council, which defrays the publication and mailing costs. After the war, when the last issue of the Bulletin has been published, all letters and records will be turned over to the historical library in the Rackham building. "Since this is the first time that the women of Michi- gan have gone to war, we thought it wise to makea record of their contri- butions. Our files and bulletins have been requested for the Rackham col- lection because of their historical value," Mrs. Conger stated.
