meet has been held annually. The
members swim against each other
and the clock and the best times

more distant University alumnae
groups.

resident of Mosher Hall, Jovita

Dean of Women Helps
Coeds in Finding Jobs
r
C'
Women students who need part-
time jobs in order to finance a por-
tion of their education may apply
at the Office of the Dean of Wom-
en to have their employment re-
quests filled.
Because of the scarcity of avail-
able jobs, the office is concerned
chiefly with finding employment
for women who must work to fi-
nance their education, rather than
those who want to work for expe-
rience, according to Mary C.
Bromage, Associate Dean of Wom-
en.
THOSE WISHING experience,
she said, are advised to do volun-
teer work if they are unable to find
paid employment.
Last year, 365 requests for
jobs were filed at the Office of
the Dean of Women, Mrs. Brom-
age said.
During the same time, 198 re-
quests for part-time workers and
181 requests for baby-sitters were
received from would-be employ-
ers.
* * *
RESIDENCE HALLS, which
have a large number of openings
for waitresses, employed the gr(ut-
est number last year, Mrs. Brom-
age stated. The Library, Union
and Michigan League also offeredl
employment for many she said.
A relatively small number of
coeds found jobs in private homes.
Only 15 such jobs were available,
she said.
Women who had had secretarial
experience, she added, were re-
ferred to the University Personnel
Office for additional assistance.

Nation's First Woman Athlete
Turns Professional in Chicago
CHICAGO - (A') - Mildred
(Babe) Didrikson Zaharias, gen-
erally regarded as the nation's No.
1 woman athlete, yesterday signed
to become a full time professional
at the Sky Crest Country Club.
She is the first of her sex to hold
down such a job with full author-
ity.
Skycrest is a swank suburban
club northwest of Chicago. It was
the scene of the 1948 Western
Women's Open in which Patty
Berg defeated the Babe in 37 holes.
GENE DYER, president of Sky
Crest, said the Babe would take
over her new duties February 1.
She won't be just another tourna-
ment player, using her club as her
address as she did when she regis-
tered from Grossinger's in Fern-
dale, N.Y. Dyer emphasized that
she will have full charge of all pro-
fessional duties including running"
of the pro shop, and giving les-
sons.
To aid the Babe in reaching
tournaments and still give her
maximum time for her duties,
Dyer said the club would pur-
chase a plane to facilitate her
travels.
"And they are going to teach
me to fly it, too," Babe added.
"EXHIBITIONS next year?
Maybe a few here, and there, but
nothing like those last couple
years. This job at Sky Crest will
give me a chance to really tune up
for the big important tourna;-
ments."
Although she has not made
any choices yet, the Babe said
she was going to hire two men
assistants.
"One will help in teaching the
adults at the club, and the other
will concentrate on the kids and
run the pro shop when I'm not
there."
* * *
MRS. ZAHARIAS' golfing rec-
ord, on top of a sports career that
includes record performances in
running, swimming, throwing the
javelin, diving, high jumping,
hurdling, baseball, boxing, rifle
shooting, horseback riding, skiing
and billiards,. is one of the most
outstanding in the game.
League Formal
Any woman who did not turn
in the name of her residence
when she bought her League
Formal ticket, is requested to
do so and to bring her ticket
to the booth in the League to-
day, said Mary Ann Harris,
publicity chairman. This is for
the awarding of prizes at the
dance.
