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. H il lel To Give Drag or Stag Dogpatch Ball, Hillel, in true Dogpatch style, will hold a Sadie Hawkins dance from 8:30 p.m. to midnight, Satur- day, Oct. 28 at the Foundation.

Between dances guests will munch on apples and doughnuts and sip cider served by the social committee. A square dance caller will be im- ported from Skunk Hollow for the evening. Large cartoons of Li'l Abner, Daisy Mae and other Dog- patch notables will decorate the walls of the barn. and also out in the lobby.

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. I. U Foxy Dressers Take Notice! ., ,, i ry' 1 r b '," I' l v i _ _ --- y 'C S * * ii. BLACK CAT SPECIALS Thur. - Fri. - and Sat.
