Construction on the new million
dollar women's swimming pool has
progressed way beyond expecta-
tions due to the unusually mild
winter, Dr. Margaret Bell an-
nounced recently.
With such rapid progress Dr.
Bell, chairman of the Women's
Physical Education Department,
predicts ahat after 25 years of
planning, the pool will be in full,
use next February.
AT THE PRESENT time, one-
fourth of the hardest work has
been completed according to Mack
Habscher, engineer. He expects the
structure to be finished in the fall.
Currently 17 carpenters, 20 la-
borers, five bricklayers, electri-
cians and plumbers are working
on the first floor columns, pour-
ing cement for the pool and lay- equal with the first floor while the
ing bricks on the two-and-a- lower part of water is below the
half story building. ground floor.
Located on N. University and
Forest near the present Women's
Athletic Building, the walls of the
pool building are only temporary,
as in the future the building will
be part of a new women's athletic
plant.
* * *
CONFORMING strictly to di-
mensions, the pool will be 75 feet 1
inch long and 44 feet wide. Con-
taining six lanes, the pool is wider
than average according to Dr. Bell.
At the deepest end there will
be one meter and three meter
diving boards above 12 feet 6
inches of water.
The pool is beng constructed in
such a way that the water level is
* *
FURNISHED with the most up-
to-date equipment, the pool will
feature an aqadio for underwater
music and will be wired for tele-
vision.
Spotlights from the ceiling and
sixteen lights of 1,000 watts
each, situated underwater, will
illuminate the swimming area.
The modern pool, financed by
funds furnished by the Board In
Control of Intercollegiate Athlet-
ics, will also be equipped with por-
table benches, a grandstand, and
a glass viewing window for the
convenience of spectators.
Because of a guest locker room,
co-recreational swimming will be
possible in the building.
Taking advantage of a tropical
vacation plus college credits, over
20 University students are plan-
ning to invade the Hawaiian Is-
lands to attend summer school at
the University of Hawaii this year.
Lured by the appeal of a tropi-
cal setting of sun, sand and surf,
.these "U" students will enroll on
June 24 for a six week summer ses-
sion.
The University of Hawaii has
five colleges: Teacher's, Arts and
Sciences, Applied Sciences, Agri-
culture, and Business Admin-
istration. It is on the accredit-
ed list of the U.S. Office of Ed-
cation and the curriculum is
similar to that of universities on
the mainland.
Each summer many world re-
nowned professors from the Orient,
Middle East, Europe, and all sec-
tions of the United States come to
the Islands to teach their special-
ties during the summer session.
The University of Hawaii is rec-
ognized as one of the leading uni-
versities in the world for its trop-
ical agriculture study program and
its courses in philosophy, histpry,
economics, art and literature of
the Orient and Pacific.
Besides the opportunities to
develop the mind, a summer
session At the Hawaiian univers-
ity offers students, in their after
class hours, the chance to de-
velop their bodies.
For further information con-
cerning the summer session at the
University of Hawaii call Mrs.
Mae Ufer at 3-1813 or Mrs. Marie
Netting at 2-2443.

and chairman of Joint Judiciary
is Lee Fiber, who ran unopposed.
Following the elections, Phyl-
lis Kaufman, this year's presi-
dent of the League, announced
that the revised League Con-
stitution, would be voted on soon
by the members of the Board.
One proposed change is to co-
ordinate women's activities and
carry out projects of the League
through a central representative
body known as the Women's Sen-
ate.
* * *
AS EACH member of the Wo-
men's Senate wouldrautomatically
become. a member of an an As-
sembly Council or Panhellenic
Council, information could be re-
layed more swiftly than at pre-
sent.
She said that other League
associate organizations will re-
vise their cohstitutions later to
conform to the qualifications
set by the League constitution.
As a result, the members de-
cided to hold an extra meeting
Saturday morning, April 18. At
this time the revised version of
the Constitution will be discussed
and, if possible, a vote will be
taken. All members are urged to
attend.
At the next regular meeting of
the Board, representatives will
vote on members of the Inter-
viewing and Nominating Commit-
tee, chairman of Women's Judi-
ciary, and members of Women's
Judiciary Council, as well as presi-
dent and vice-president of Assem-
bly Association,
In past years the new president
of the League has been announced
at Installation Night, but this
year, because Miss Riggs will at-
tend a national convention in
California along with Phyllis
Kaufman, outgoing president, and
Miss Ethel McCormick, social di-
rector of the League, the an-
nouncement was made earlier.
The official plate umpire will
cover third base and home plate.
She will have the power to over-
rule any decisions made by the
base umpires.
If a house has more than one
team, the same woman may serve
as the base umpire for all teams.
She may also participate as a
player for one team and as a base
umpire for another.
* * *
EACH TEAM will be allowed
two concellations before being
dropped from the tournament. All
cancellations must be made by
calling tournament manager Pat
Texter, 2-3159, by 1 p.m. Monday
of the week the game is scheduled.
League houses will have until
48 hours before games to can-
cel them, the only valid excuses
for cancellation being classes,
house functions and illness of
team members.
This year for the first time, the
tournament will be run in both
"A" and "B" rounds, so that all
teams losing their first games will
be put in the "B" bracket.
The manager of each team
should check out softball equip-
ment at the desk at WAB. This
equipment consists of three bases,
balls, bats and gloves. One mana- '
ger of the teams playing is res- O
ponsible for the bases and the c0
other for the rest of the supplies.
No post cards will be sent to CN
team captains to remind them of,
games this year, Miss Texter has
stressed.
The Daily will print the first CL
week's schedule on Tuesday, April <
14, and in following weeks the
schedule will be printed in the LA
Saturday or Sunday papers. F--
