WOMEN'S PAGE:
Editors Welcome Tryouts
Hello Newcomers :
Welcome to the University!
We hope you will enjoy your college days. Each of you will, we
think, find some niche here, with friends and in studies and activities.
As editors of the Women's Page of The Dairy, we would like to
welcome each of you to join our staff as tryouts, in keeping the stu-
dents informed about these activities and in being a part of many of
them.,
Our staff members "cover" all phases of life in their stories-
reporting events sponsored by the League, Union, Women's Athletic
Association, dormitory, fraternity and sorority "happenings" and all
of the "big" dances and projects on campus.
No writing experience is necessary, our requirements being some
writing ability, interest and enthusiasm, and preferably, some typ-
ing skill, which comes in handy when there are deadlines to meet.
Upon joining "our staff as tryouts, you will receive training in
news and headline writing, and interviewing, and will learn the Daily
style rules. While working on desk, you will have a chance to prac-
tice these skills by helping to put out the page.
At the end of one semester you will become "soph" staffers and
will receive a regular beat to cover, as well as special events. At this
time you will also begin training in copyreading and editing and in
*age make-up, in preparation for night editor positions.
As juniors, you will have the opportunity to petition for the po-
sitioxi of Women's Night Editor, of whom there are four at the pre-
sent time. These women are responsible for putting out the paper
once a week, editing the stories that are handed in by staffers each
day and making-up the pages.
Night Editors are also assigned the more important beats and
help in the training of "sophs" and tryouts while on desk.
The Women's Editor, and her associates, heading a staff of approxi-
mately 20 women, are chosen from the night editors.
We are hoping to see many budding reporters at the first tryout
meeting, which will be held Tuesday, September 21. The other meet-
ings appear on the first page of this section, in an advertisement in
the general section of this paper and will be published in the first
issues of The Daily next fall.
Be sure and stop in at the Women's Desk any day from 3 to 5
p.m., and we will be glad to show you around and explain more of our
work to you.
Best of luck,
Rozalind Shlimovitz, Women's Editor
Janet Smith, Associate Women's Editor
Joy Squires, Associate Women's Editor
Clubs o oMeeting

Requirements for New Students,
Physical Education Majors Cited

Co-Recreational Activities Include Ballet,
Volleyball, Modern Dance, Ice Skating

Co-recreational activity, although
relatively new in the program of
the Women's Athletic Association,
has nevertheless developed into
one of the most pop'ular phases of
it.
Though the organization is for
women, participation by men many
times increases the quality of a
group's program, and therefore the
co-recreational activities w e r e
started.
Besides the clubs, co-recreation-
al tournaments in volleyball and
softball are held with weekly WAA-
sponsored IM Night. At this time
students use the squash racquets
and handballs.
Modern Dance Club
Anyone on campus whether ex-
perienced in modern dancing or
just wishing to learn, may join this
club.
Members are instructed in tech-
niques and composition of the me-
dium of modern dance and also
take part in many activities.
In addition to annual Christmas
and spring programs, there are ex-
change dances with Michigan State
College, choreography for televi-
sion shows and work in coordina-
tion with the speech department.
Also studied arephases in the
production end of the theater such
as make-up, lighting and principles
of choreography, uncer the leader-

ship of managers, Jean Isaacson
and Jim Stasheff.
Badminton Club
Skills in the club are taught by
a member of the Women's Physical
Education Department.
Membership is open to everyone
and instruction is given to begin-
ners. Weekly meetings provide an
opportunity for practice for the
more advanced players.
There are intra-club tournaments
featuring women's singles, men's
singles and mixed doubles matches.
Also in the spring is an all-campus
co-recreational tournament. Mana-
gers of the club are Mary Sullivan
and Bill Muldoon.
Ballet Club
This club has instruction for both
beginners and intermediates. It al-
so provides ample opportunity for
creativeichoreography on the part
of the organization's members.
No special equipment other than
shorts or leotards are required.
Besides taking part in the annual
spring and Christmas dance festi-
vals, members also present a
program as part of the Inter-Arts
Festival. Gaille Valentine is the
club manager.
Ice Skating Club
Activities in this club include
individual and group figure skating

for both beginners and advanced
skaters. Novelty skating and dance
steps are also included.
An ice show apd performances
before each hockey game a r e
planned by the club managers,
Donna Hammill and John Hall.
Riding Club
Under the leadership of Patricia
Gerstner, the club plans weekly
riding nights, special supper and
breakfast rides, a treasure hunt
and a sleigh ride.
Both men and women who have
no riding experience are welcome
to join the club as well as more
advanced riders.
Riding periods to be decided at
the organizational meeing will in-
clude ring riding, trail riding and
improvement of skills.
Rain Wear
Since Ann Arbor has the repu-
tation of having an exceeding
amount of precipitation, coeds will
find that one of the most important
items in their wardrobes will be
their raincoats.
Red and yellow "Slickers" with
caps have been the most popular
with University women in recent
years. Gabardine coats in solid
colors and plaids are the choice
of practical coeds for rain or shine.

perfection of strokes.

training in physical education, par-
ticularly in the field of teaching
but also in recreational leader-
ship, physical therapy and related
occupations.
Teachers Needed
Teaching claims more physical
education graduates than any other
field. The graduate usually may
choose the age group with which
she wishes to work, from very
small children to adults.
Teaching is also a part of the
work of the recreation leader or
supervisor, whether she is em-
ployed by local, state or national
government, by industry, by cam-
pus or other recreational organi-
zations. In the broad field of re-
creation direction and leadership,
there are increasing numbers of
jobs available.
An excellent foundation for pro-
fessional training in physical ther-
apy and for specialized work in
orthopedic hospitals is offered to
the physical education major.
Undergraduate Course
TheUundergraduate course of
study leads to the degree of Bache-
lor of Science in Education and
requires four academic years. It
is necessary that the student of
physical education display compe-
tence in various physical skills and
activities as well as a knowledge
of the principles of health and
physical education.
This student also needs a good
background of general education
as preparation for her role in per-
sonal, civic and community life.
Study in the liberal arts, biologi-
cal science, social science, edu-
cation, physical and health educa-
tion are therefore included in the
required curriculum.
This course prepares the stud-
ent for elementary and high school
teaching. Preparation in skills for
such teaching includes these act-
ivities: games, stunts, rhythms and
self-testing activities for the ele-
mentary schools such as basket-
ball, hocky, soccer, softball, volley-
ball, archery, -badminton, fencing,
golf, swimming, tennis, modern
social and square dancing and
corrective physical education.

One of the many busy League
committees is the Merit-Tutorial
committee, which keeps records of
coed extra-curricular activities and
recruits tutors.
The committee aids students
seeking academic help by provid-
ing them with the name and
phone number of a tutor. The tutor
and student make their own ar-
rangements for the time and place
of tutoring. Hourly rates are
charged for tutoring. The fee is $1
an hour for every subject but
Chemistry and Physics, which are
$2 an hour.
In order to be a tutor, a student
must have received a "B" in a
subject which is in his major field
or an "A" in any other course.

The group also keeps a card
file containing information on the
activities of all undergraduate
women. Participationin all-cam-
pus clubs, church guilds, WAA
clubs and honor societies are listed.
The activity chairman of each
house, and heads of various or-
ganizations, compile personnel re-
ports. The file is used by the Of-
fice of the Dean of Women, So-.
cial Director of the League, Ju-
diciary Council, League commit-
tees and honor societies.
After graduation, records are
transferred to the Office of the
Dean of Women and to the Bureau
of Appointments, where they are
kept on file for reference by pro-
spective employers.
