THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1952 WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1952 Housing (Continued from Page 3) If a girl would rather live in a more homelike atmosphere, a league house would probably be advisable. These houses are su- pervised residences, varying in size from ten to 25 women. Some of them do not serve meals, while others provide one or two a day. There are about 20 of these league houses on campus. Some women may find it neces- sary to work part of their way through college. The cooperative houses are provided for such needs. Here, a woman works part of, each day for the benefit of her house. Cooking, cleaning, yard work or any of the other jobs en- tailed with keeping a house are all perfomed by the residents, which helps pay for their room and board. Physical Education (Continued from Page 5) freshmen, the teacher education program for women planning to make a career of physical educa- tion and the recreational program' for all women interested in extra- curricular activities. Today Barbour gym, the Wo- men's Athletic Building, Palmer Field, and sometimes even the In- tramural Building provide the space for all these activities. Plans are already drawn up for a new women's swimming pool which will be a part of a physical education building to be built across from the present Women's Athletic building. This addition is in step with the department's policy to give Uni- versity women the best physical education program possible. Carefully Planned Study Essential To Adjustment EASIER GRIND One of the biggest problems in a freshman's life is learning how to study effectively. If she is to get the most of her college education, the coed must learn to organize her social life, and extra-curricular activities in such a way that her studies are not slighted. * . *9 A DEFINITE SCHEDULE for studying is often found helpful to the freshman in learning to get her work done. Such a schedule should set up reasonable lengths of time for study which allow one's mind to get warmed up but avoid excessive fatigue. Some students find it espec- ially hopeful to have a definite 1 I place to study. This spot should be comfortable and well-lighted and relatively quiet. Learning to concentrate is often very difficult. Some students find it necessary to study in the library, but it is a good idea to learn to shut your mind to everything else and just study. INTEREST in studies will prove to be the greatest aid to concen- tration. Finding relationships be- tween the various subjects and following up any idea that seems interesting is often helpful. In this way work will not be Just a dull grind, but will have interest and meaning. Another important factor in scholastic success is the ability to read rapidly and accurately. In reading the assignments, try to get the main thought out of each section and re-state it in your own words. W H I L E READING, students come across many words which are unfamiliar. It is a good idea to write these words down, look them up and then make them a part of the vocabulary. Since a great deal of assign- ments will consist of memory work, it is well to remember that remembering should be based on understanding. If a person understands the ma- terial as he learns it, review will be simpler and there will be no danger of memorizing the wrong points.

When they come to the University, they don their smocks and roll up their sleeves, and Orientation Week finds them faced with the prob- lems of an amateur decorator. The problem of making a "cub- icle" attractive and livable, how- ever, is not only easy to solve, but can be fun as well. STUDENTS having roommates will find that mutual efforts to- ward "rigging up" a room make the getting - acquainted process muh easier. Colorful bedspreads can do much to spruce up a room. Plaids or "solids" are both popu- lar choices, as well as the Mich- igan-blanket spread. Students bringing an old bed cover from home may create that "something-new-has-been-added" effect by applying package dye and some elbow grease. The outcome if the coed is successful at dye- ing is a spread that fits in with the color scheme. IF A WOMAN is ambitious enough to want to make her own spread, extra material for match- ing drapes is good. The dorm drapes can not be taken down, but, curtains may easily be attached so that the standard drapes face' the out- side in accordance with the rul- ing. Pillows add brightness to any room and may be scattered on the bed, serving to convert it into a daytime divan. Choices range from large to small, from squares to circles, and from feather stuf- fings to old socks-anything will serve the purpose. Reading pillows are likewise handy to have for study use. * * * BULLETIN BOARDS are almost a "must" for tacking up current snaps, dance programs or what- have-you. These may be nothing more than a piece of beaver board, but those wishing to be fancy, may decide to paint the board or cover it with material which fits the chosen color scheme, perhaps add- ing a bit of ruffling along the edge. Some students even use the magnetic boards to which sou- venirs are attached by means of magnetic attraction. Rooms with the problem of an ugly, unadorned wardrobe are not chalked off as impossible. With the aid of thumbtacks, a piece of ruffling may be stretched across the top edge. THE DOORS may be covered with colorful blotters to which numerous notices may be attach- ed. This provides a good substi- tute for a bulletin board. When the lights go out books must eventually find their way to shelves of some sort, and the variety of bookcases is great. A wide window sill with the books held in place by a brick or a Michigan book-end is suf- ficient. . Also easy to arrange is a "board- and-brick" affair which consists of alternate layers of bricks and a board. These may be arranged in several artistic styles. A few students even Use unassembled bookcases which they have put together themselves. .4 i I Read Daily Classifieds {,' Ii i i ( e AMERICAN GIRL SHOES .. .
