'This little treatise is designed to give you neophytes some hints on how you can roll up an impressive aver- age, and still have a bang-up good time at Michigan. That may sound like burning the candle at both ends to some of you, but it is really quite simple when you get the hang of it. Before I pursue the subject farther, let me state emphatically that I disagree heartily with those who say that college is a place for work and not play, it is the place for both. The .experiences and friendships to be gained from extra-curricular ac- tivities and other recreation stack up pretty well alongside the more intel- lectual pursuits in their value to the individual. Either one alone, how- ever, seems to create a rather shal- low personality. The most important thing is to get off to a good start. You'll probably probably get a few assignments your first day in class, so instead of spend- ing fifteen minutes hanging out your window watching the B-24's, spend the time getting your assignment out of ,the way. Most of the early assign- ments are short, and if you nibble away at them as they come along, you won't have the whole cheese to eat the night before an exam. Use Those Free Hours you may find yourself with a schedule with free hours here and there between classes. These provide excellent opportunities to go to the library and get a little work out of the way, preferably work for the class you just got out of, not the one you go to the next hour ! Eventually you may be able to discipline yourself so you can go alone to a local drug store and drink a, coke while you study during the h1our. Utilizing your odd hours dur- ng the day has the advantage of leaving your late afternoons and your evenings free for chats with your friends, activities or an occa- sional nmovie. Cutting classes is a matter for the individual to settle for himself, but I wouldn't recommend it except in cases of dire nece'ssity. Attending class has many benefits other than the assimilation of the professor's words of wisdom. It creates a good impression and may get you the B instead of the C if you're on the bor- der line. It also helps in getting, a makeup if you really are sick some time during an exam. Notes Important You'll find it a tremendous advan- tage if you know how to take, good notes. If you take Slosson's History 11 or 12, you'll be off to a fine start. but here are a few suggestions which have proven helpful to many, for those of you who aren't interested in history. Use an outline-essay form, getting the main points and sub-points down and filling in whatever details you have time for. Usually you will have no trouble keeping up with a lec- turer and can get almost everything, but get what's important and fill ,in the details during a lull. You'll find they'll come in.handy on an exam so don't neglect them. By all means, look interested in class, even if it means writing letters to stay awake. And, if possible, talk to your instructor sometime before or after class. If there is something you're not quite clear on, or wish to have elaborated further, don't hesi- tate to ask him, but be sure the answer isn't in the book first! A good way to let your instructor know you are reading his optioal assignments is to ask him a question about it, perhaps some point that differs with the text. Talking to a professor before or after class gives him a personal impression of you, whether it is good or bad will depend on the questions you ask. That im- pression may prove valuable in a recommendation some day. Find Old Exams When blue-book time comes a- round, you should experience little difficulty, if you've gotten off to a good start. The professor will usually give you a pretty good idea of what he thinks is important and the type of suestions he'll ask. If not, you can always make use of the exam files at the main library lower study hall. HEoping that this will help you a little, let me wish the best of luck to you new freshmen in your studies. But let .me also urge you to go out for some extra-curricular activity for its many benefits and I hope you'll have as much fun as I have.

Virginia Counselman will act as chairman of the committee for '44-'45. In the past volunteers have con- tributedapproximately 10,000 hours per year, and over 400 different: workers have helped achieve the commendable record. Workers' Uniforms; Members of the Central Commit- tee act as captains and are stationed in the volunteers' offices each after- noon and evening. It is their duty to assign newcomers to posts and to see that workers are evenly distribu- ted throughout the hospital, Volunteers may work on private floors or in wards or clinics. They may also help at the Galen's stand which sells candy, newspapers and various other luxuryitems topa- tients. Four Hours Weekly A minimum of four hours per week is required of each volunteer. Every effort is made to see that volunteers maintain a conscientious, cheerful attitude toward their work. St.' Joseph's Hospital is especially in need of workers at mealtime to pass trays and to feed some of the patients. Volunteers at St. Joseph's are not required to wear uniforms, but are asked to wear light colored cotton blouses. K.- -- August 10, 19441 To the Freshmen Women: American women are the only young women in the world who are having the opportunity of higher education. We are fortunate to be living in America and to be living in a time of unprecedented opportunity for women. There is no field in which women are not now needed. The armed forces, the health servi- ces, social service, industry, govern- ment service, teaching-all these are] in dire need of trained women. We must all realize the magnitude of the struggle; and American women must learn that we cannot live in selfish and, at present, somewhat pro- tec.ted isolationism. Our horizon has got to be world wise and our choice of work must not be made on. the basis of what we think will do us the most good. Rather must we say, "Where, with my special skill and ability, can I do the most good?" It is the duty of every woman now enrolled at the University of Michigan to recognize her need for training, and to accept that training and education with a ser- ious purpose and a sense of respon- sibility. This is no time to come to the "campus" and not to "college." In her academic program and In her social and extra-curricular ac- tivities ,each women should make her college experience significant. Red cross training and service, hos- pital volunteer service, community cooperation, and special volunteer work to meet one of the serious shortages are all important extra- curricular opportunities. The work in the classroom should serve two purposes, that of providing special background for a particular job and that of gaining insight into the world revolution in which we are taking part. In future years, if any woman is asked what she did to help save her nation in its time of need, she will want to have an answer. She will want to say that she freed a man for active combat duty in the armed services, or that she became a nurse, or did social work in a crowded industrial community, or helped make bombers, or worked for the Red Cross, or helped by teaching in the over-crowded schools. She will not want to say, "I didn't do anything special. I couldn't find what Iwanted to do." College training is preparation for a life of usefulness. Be ready to meet the challenge of your day. We welcome you to the University with confidence that you will discover here the true meaning of education. Very sincerely yours, Alice C. Lloyd Dean of Women. New students who have trans- ferred from other colleges are eligible to participate in activities during their first semester at the University,. while. freshmen. are left with the personal responsi- bility for their scholastic stand- ing. Freshmen may, therefore, participate in extra-curricular ac- tivities, providing they keep their grade averages above 2.0, inclu- sive.

Enclosed That should take care of the suit situation, but of course any extra jackets will always come in handy. When it's cold in ' Ann Arbor you wear skirts and sweaters, when it's colder than that you wear a jacket over your sweater. Once in a while, seldom oftener than once a week, you shed your knitted cashmeres and shetlands and slip into a bit of crepe or soft, soft wool. The DRESS that no trunk is complete without is black. This fall will see more and more of the super- sleek sequined style (the aliteration is for smooth). A good black can be varied with gold bracelets, pins, lockets or earrings. A rhinestone clip with 'mtching earrings is another way of adding glamour to glamour. Wear Your Wool Pastel wools with fly fronts or those that button all the way up are just right for ordinary weekend dances. Baby blue, red, gold, winter white, and deep purple are the most popular colors with Michigan women and, what's more important, with Michigan men. Plaids with dutch girl pockets and peter pan collars are cute and -colorful for a dark winter's day... Speaking of blouses, be sure they are tailored with turn down collars. White is best and long sleeves are the most graceful. Dickies must be in your trunk, down there by your slips. Rainhat Required The general list is nearly complete now. You can fill in the details ac- cording to your taste and purse. No more than two hats are necessary. One of them should be the kind that originated in the seafaring world- the kind that keeps your hair dry and your head warm. This brings up the subject of raincoats. The style does- n't matter, but be sure it's complete- ly waterproof and all set for a good work out. You can close the lid on your trunk now and feel assured that your first appearances will be good ones. Don't forget your brightest acces- sory, however, your smile will win you many more friends than that new coral sweater. And remember that war bonds must head every shopping list.
