Coeds Reach Total of 312 Hours
Working at University Laundry.

Ralph Wilson'

s

University women have contribut-
ed a total of 312 hours to working in
the University Laundry this semes-
ter, it was announced yesterday by
Peg Weiss, '4, personnel administra-
tor of the Women's War Council.
The totals, Miss Weiss said, are
highly satisfactory for the Summer
Term, since there are so few coeds
on campus. However, she added, the
laundry can still use more workers.
Pay is 53c an hour, and persons are
asked to see the secretary in the
laundry building to report for work.
Of the Pniversity women, Estelle
Olejarczyk worked the greatest num-
ber of hours for the semester, 45.
Glenna Workman ranks second with
37 hours, and Marjorie Mayer third
with 31.
Others who have contributed a
good deal of their time toward the
laundry are Dora Morgan, 29 hours;
All USO junior hostesses in Co.
V must attend a meeting at 7:30
p. m. Tuesday at the USO, accord-
ing to Hele;. Alpert, Co. Y colonel,

Ann Miller, 26; Karen Holmes, 22;
Deloris Johnson, 22, and Thelma
Bergquist, 21.
Other coed workers are Helen
Montgomery, Pearl Epstein, Nancy
Steger, Marguerite Brenk, Anita Bed-
ard, Darlene Izard, Barbara Snell,
Mercia Lockyer, Clare Herald and
Pat Pawlicki.
Coeds To Entertain
War Veterans Today
Thirty-five University women will
go today to the Kellogg estate in
Battle Creek to entertain convales-
cing war veterans, according to an
announcement from the Women's
War Council.
The War Council, together with
Hillel Foundation, is sending the
coeds to the estate, where they will
spend the day boating, swimming,
and playing tennis, among other
sports. The patients at the estate
are those who have recovered suf-
ficiently to walk and participate in
sports.

Miss Margaret E. Connors, 29-
year-old attorney of Fairfield,
Conn., was nominated by Demo-
crats of the FourthCongressional
District to oppose Representative
Clare Boothe Luce for her seat in
Congress in the election next No-
vember.

Band To Play
For Affair
Servicemen To Receive Late
Permission To Attend; Money
Will Be Used for Bomber Fund
A semi-formal dance open to all
servicemen and civilian students will
be presented by the Bomber Scholar-
ship Committee from 8:30 to 11:30
p. m. Friday in the Union Ballroom.
All Army and Navy personnel have
been granted liberty until 12 mid-
night in order to attend the dance.
They must show their tickets before
they will be given liberty cards.
Ralph Wilson and his band will
supply the music, with Jean Brooks
as the featured vocalist. All profits
will be added to the Bomber Scholar-
ship Fund, which is established to
provide scholarships for war veterans
who were in attendance at the Uni-
versity before entering the armed
forces.
Plate Heads Committee
Bomber money is now being used
for war bonds and after the war will
be converted into scholarships. The
price of a bomber, $100,000, is the
goal of the Committee. Approximate-
ly $29,000 has already been put into
the fund.
Members of the Summer Commit-
tee include Jim Plate as chairman;
Glen White, financial chairman; Bob
Precious, alumni chairman; Mary
Lee Mason, special drives chairman;
and Mavis Kennedy, publicity chair-
man. .
Junior Girls' Project workers are
assisting the Bomber Committee in
presenting the dance. They are Jean
Hotchkin, Nora McLaughlin, Betty
Vaughn, Paula Brower, Joyce Siegan,
and Tady Martz.
To Be Semi-Formal
By announcing the dahce as semi-
formal, the Committee indicated that
women are requested to wear eve-
ning clothes while men may wear
business suits. Corsages are pro-
hibited, as is the usual University
custom.
Tickets will be on sale at the Union
Desk from 9 to 11 a. m. Monday,
from 11 a. in. to 12:15 p. .n Tues-
day, from noon to 1 p. m. and from
5 to 7 p. m. Wednesday,. and from
10 a. m. to noon Friday.

hteI7e te
Time was when residents of the
West Quadrangle could dash through
the passageway to the Union tap-
room and have a coke without both-
ering to dress in any more than
shorts or pajamas.
Then came the war and girl
waitresses and after a few embar-
rassing encounters taproom cus-
tomers have learned to come fully
clad. At least for the duration.
When peacetime comes back to the
campus men waiters will again
take over the Union and coeds will
be allowed to enter this den of
masculinity only on rare occasions.
A for-men-only atmosphere still
prevails, however, despite the ap-
pearance of a few hair ribbons and
skirts and sweaters. The only women
who are allowed to be served in the
cafeteria or at the ,soda fountain are
employes. Man-sized portions of
food, including two rolls rather than
one, are still a permanent part of the
menu.
Informality is the keynote of
Union fun. Anyone is privileged to
take over the piano and beat out a
bit of boogey-woogey or a sym-
phonic melody. Music is not loved
by the customers alone. A skilled
pianist who is preparing for his
final recital in the School of Music
may be seen behind the serving
counter.
A zoology major, skilled in dis-
section, sees that the meat is carved
properly. Everyone from football
players to poets may be found taking
their turns at the dish machine.
Variety is also provided by 5' 3"
"Shorty" of the serving counter, and
6'5" "Art" of the cashier's desk.

Dean's Office Is Being Forced
To Turn Down Fall Applicants
The most acute housing shortage
of recent years now faces University
women, according to an announce-
ment from the office of the Dean of
Women which states that the office
cannot assure any entering student
of a room in a University approved
residence.
Women who do not have definite
room arrangements for the coming
fall term are not encouraged to en-
roll in the University. "Never be-
fore have we been forced to be so
discouraging and we regret very
much the necessity of being so now,"
said Miss Jeannette Perry, Assistant
Dean of Women.
"We always want to welcome to
our great university all qualified
students who choose it for their alma
mater, but we do not feel that we
can hold out unjustified hopes which
might be disappointed when it would
be too late for you to enter another
college," the message continues.
Cadet Nurses Included
An enrollment increase of 650 wo-
men is anticipated by the office.
Four hundred of these will be regu-
larly-enrolled students, and 150 will
be holders of state scholarships
which have been granted by the Re-
gents of the University.
Included in the increased enroll-
ment is a group of 100 cadet nurses,
who will receive their training here,
under the sponsorship of the Fed-
eral Government.
Housing facilities for women are

I

being increased so far as possible,
Miss Perry announced, with the con-
version of many former fraternity
houses into coed residences. Nearly
all fraternity houses, with the excep-
tion of Psi Upsilon, are being taken
over by women, but these are already
filled. Waiting lists, according to
Miss Perry, are already too long.
AJl Dorms Filled March 1
The housing situation has been
made inelastic by t h e wartime
proximity to an, industrial cen-
ter. "In the past we were
able," Miss Perry said, "whenever
necessary to add to our list of ap-
proved rooming houses. But Ann
Arbor is a small city only nine miles
from the Willow Run bomber plant
and our local housing has been
largely preempted by war workers, so
that we can no longer expand our
University housing at will."
Local war industries have also
caused an acute shortage of all kinds
of help, the announcement con-
tinued, so it is impossible to serve
meals in the houses converted into
auxiliary dormitories.
Figures on the number of women
turned away from the university be-
cause of the housing shortage are
unavailable. It is known that all
University dormitories were filled by
March 1.
