Hospitals Still
Need Women
For Volunteers
Coeds Will Be Placed in Work
They Find Most Interesting
By Soph Central Committee
Although fall semester is well
under way, coeds may still volunteer,
their services to either University or
St. Joseph's hospitals where workers
are urgently needed.
At University Hospital, volunteers
are needed on Monday, Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday mornings, Sat-
urday afternoon, and all day Sunday.
They may register at any time with
Miss Beardslee in the third floor vol-
unteer office.
St. Joseph's hospital especially
needs workers from 11:30 a.m. to
12:15 p.m. to help pass patients'
trays. In addition, they are needed
during the morning and early after-
noon on week-days, and all day Sat-
urday and Sunday. Coeds interested
in working at St. Joseph's hospital
may sign up with Miss Wanzig, in
charge of volunteers, on the first
floor.
Volunteer Duties
Workers in either hospital work in'
wards with adults, in the children's
wards, or in offices or clinics. They
pass trays, straighten beds, entertain
young patients, fold linen, wheel
patients to clinics, or type records
and reports.
Soph Project has announced that
coeds will be placed, as far as pos-
sible, according to the particular
work they are interested in doing.
Any questions concerning Soph Proj-
ect will be answered at the volunteer
office in either hospital. At Univer-
sity hospital, captains will also sup-
ply information.
St. Joseph Workers
Those coeds living in Martha Cook,
Betsy Barbour, and Helen Newberry
are especially asked to work at St.'
Joseph's hospital as its location is
more convenient for them. It is
located on N. Ingalls, about three
blocks from the. Rackham building.
Both hospitals depend to a large
extent upon coed volunteers, but they
only 'want workers who are depend-
able and will appear on the job at
their appointed time. If a coed hasj
a valid reason for not coming, she
is requested to notify the volunteer
office in advance. If volunteers can-
not comply, they will be asked to
leave the project.

pendent women during 1943-44 sea-
son.
Plans for a guest speaker for the
occasion are under way, 'and Senior
Society will tap senior independents
with outstanding scholastic and lead-
ership records. Freshmen, sopho-

tic and activity achievements will
also be cited at this time, as well as
those houses which have been the
most prominent in student affairs.
Every independent woman on cam-
pus is urged to come to Recognition
Night and see how her organization
honors its outstanding members, ac-
cording to Shirley Robin, Publicity
Chairman of Assembly Board.

Do you really appreciate Errol
Flynn's fencing prowess as it is
flashed across the screen? This abil-
ity can be yours for the asking by
joining the Fencing Club, which
meets 5 p.m. Tuesdays at the WAB,
according to Pat Dillenbeck, '45, club
manager.
"Fencing is a wonderful way to

hips and improving figure fitness.
Besides this, it affords every fencer
a lot of fun, good sport, and the
opportunity to meet new friends,"
continues Miss Dillenbeck.

What's newest on campus in the
line of sport shirts? The Basque shirt
with its bold stripes (solids too) of
course! For classrooms and "respec-.
table" places they are worn tucked
in-but for scrubwork or studying in
the dorm they are worn casually out.
The answer to a coed's prayer for
dressing up that tailored suit is the
pin tuck blouse-a perfect blouse at
a coin purse price made in fine rayon
crepe neatly tucked down the front.
If you want your dress and sport
blouses to be worn with skirts alone,
you may want to save them by cam-
ouflaging suits and dresses with gay
deceiver dickeys. It's a trick with
almost endless possibilities. A brand
new idea is the topper, sister to the
halter or backless dickey, which adds
color and freshness to your suit
jacket.
One topper, in shrimp pink faille,
has a high ruffle which can be worn
with a black dress or a green or
brown suit. Its amusing cuffs, really
large rosettes on inch-wide bands,
can double as hair ornaments.
For odd sport skirts to wear with
the blouses mentioned, the slim trou-
ser pleat skirt topped by a hand-
tooled leather belt takes the fashion
lead. This slenderizing skirt comes
in black, green, and navy blue wool
gabardine. For those who loved the
comfort and ease of the "hated-by-
male" slacks, these creative substi-
tutes will hit a new high in popu-
larity!
Running a close second is the wool
flannel peasant-type skirt to be worn
either for sport or dress. It features
a plain back with smart fullness in
front and two large pockets hanging
gaily from a slimming belt.
If you need a skirt for that "impor-
tant" week-end away, the soft pack-
able wool covert trikskirt fills the bill.
By simply pulling the waistring, the
pleats fall in perfect accord, ready to
be packed in a corner of your suit-
case. There is a wide variety of
colors to choose from: brown, au-
tumn red, copen, and navy blue.
however, must be brought along by
each participant..
Beginners need not be afraid to
join for they will be taught all the
hunges, parries, and foot movements
necessary to the game. Individual
help will be given to increase speed
and beginners will fence among
themselves until they are more pro-
ficient. Advanced players will have
the opportunity of fencing with their
equals.
Bouts Played at Each Meeting
At present the club has 16 mem-
bers, which include both beginners
and advanced players. "But," adds
Miss Dillenbeck, "there i still room
for any student wishing to engage
in an exciting and healthful activ-
ity." Bouts will be played at each
meeting and to increase competition
a tournament will finish the season.
When you hear the cry "Touche"
or "En Guarde" as your favorite
movie hero battles across screen,
don't think that he is so brave and
daring, for a member of the Fencing
Club might have done the same.
The first intra-collegiate Hockey
Meet will be held, with the WAA
Hockey Club versus the Michigan
State NorMial team at 4:30 p.m.
today on Palmer Field.
All spectators are cordially in-
vited, according to Rudie Bales,
'46, president of the Hockey Club.
In case of rain, the games will be
played next Monday.
