'U' Women
Use Facilities
Of New Pool
Coeds Bring 'Dates'
For Co-Rec Swim
Periods During Year
By HARRIETTE SIMINGTON
For over a year the new wom-
en's pool has been used and en-
joyed by innumerable coeds.
Opened in March last year the
pool was planned by various cam-
pus groups as far back as 1934.
At this time the Women's Athletic
Association received approval from
the Board of Regents to promote
financing of the pool.
Nineteen student organizations
contributed to the total of one
million dollars raised by the Board
in Control of Intercollegiate Ath-
letics. This was the cost of te
modern red brick building that
stands opposite the Women's Ath-
letic Building.
Largest Pool
At the present time the women's
pool is the largest one on campus.
The grandstand seats 734 sperta-
tors, while the pool itself has fa-
cilities for 724 swimmers.
The building is equipped with
two lobbies, tile floors, hair dryers,
and dressing booths. Locker rooms
have full length mirrors, with
shower rooms adjoining.
Both the ten and three foot div-,
ing boards are able to be spot-
lighted during programs in the
pool. The 20-foot ceiling provides
adequate room for the fanciest
diving, while the six lanes make
competitive swimming possible.
Public Address
The pool's public address system
can be heard under water 7s well
as in the grandstands. Underwater
observation ports provide for be-
hind-the-scene views and televi-
sion broadcasts of water shows.
The pool is used for instruction
in elementary, intermediate and
advanced swimming and diving,
taught by members of the Physi-
cal Education Department.
Michifish, the women's syncro-
nized swimming group, use the pool
for practices, demonstrations and
shows, while the Speed Swimming
and Diving Clubs also make use
of the pool for their activities.
Pool Hours
The pool is open to all University
women during late afternoons and
evenings for free swimming. Twice
a week co-recreational swimming
periods are held when a coed may
bring a date to the pool.
Women must furnish their own
suits during co-recreational swim-
ming periods, but cotton tank suits
are provided for free swims and
class periods.
The Department of Physical Ed-
ucation urges all incoming women
students to use this pool.
Rain Wear
Since Ann Arbor has the reputa-
tion of having an exceeding
amount of precipitation, coeds will
find that one of the most, impor-
tant 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.

WOMEN'S POOL-Opened in March last year, it is the largest pool on campus, with facilities for

'Phys. Ed.' Majors
Needed in Many
Different Fields
Those women who enter the Uni-
versity this fall and intend to ma-
jor in the field of physical educa-
tion have a full and varied program
ahead of them.
There is a need for women with
physical education training in var-
ious occupations. Teaching, of
course, claims the majority of
women in the field, but physical
therapy and recreational leader-
ship are related fields also open to
women with such training. A BS
in Education is the degree usually
earned.
Coeds in this field follow a gen-
eral education course for the first
two years. Various natural science
courses are among those which
they elect in order to learn more
about the structure and function
of the human body.
During their junior and senior
years, these coeds have several
classes in the School of Education,
and begin learning and perfecting
skills in many sports, dances and
games.
