By LYNNE FORD<
As a prospective freshman, you
have finally reached that moment you
have been looking forward to and
dreaming of all through high school.
It looks like a glamorous and exciting
new world in which you will be on
your own, and you're right.
Caripus bound, you realize that you
are no longer a child, but that you
are an adult beginning the biggest
job you have ever undertaken. Your
approach differs greatly from that of
your older sister a few years ago,
because you know that there is more
to college today than coke dates, cut-
ting classes, and a wardrobe planned
to make the campus set up and
take note.
Be Natural
You're serious about this project
and you are determined to be a suc-
cess. And you will be if you keep
your feet on the ground and make a
few resolutions and keep them. Above
'ill, be natural and let your own per-
sonality make you an individual. Keep
up with the world, you'll have a lot
to do in shaping the new one. But
however high your ideals and pur-
pose, remember that your fellow stu-
dents will know you at first only by
your appearance. There's really
something to this first impression
stuff, it's important.
Simplicity is not a sixty four dollar
word, but it will be worth ten timesl
that much to you if you keep it in
mind when choosing the clothes you'll1
bring with you. U. of M. is a cas-i
ual campus in every sense of thes
word, casual but not sloppy. Thec
well 'groomed and tailored gal willI
leave her siren sister in the dust. i
Choose Practical ClothesI
Choose the basic and fundamen-l
tally practical type of clothes and<
make sweaters, skirts, and suits thet
piece de resistance of your wardrobe.7
Plan them so that with a few goodf
things you can always be well dressed.t
As for extra-curricular clothes,
classic tailored dresses and a suit youi
can dress up or down in will meeti
the needs of most Ann Arbor week-t
ends. (Note of caution: Most fresh-<
man women can be spotted immedi-t
ately at a Friday Union dance by
their sequins and devastating glam-t
FEELING
Sur garb.) Of course, as on all good
campuses, there is a time for tha
really sophisticated dress your moth
er finally consented to-with som
misgivings.
One Formal
With men returning to campus, so
cial life should some out of its dura
tion hibernation this year, so plan t
have one all out formal for the really
big dances and another for the semi-
formal functions. If you are plan-
ning to rush, don't spend your pre-
cious shekels on rush clothes now
Sororities will not hold formal rush-
ing until the second semester, and by
then, you'll know more what you
need.
On the truly practical side, a warm
winter coat is a necessity. Local
thermometrs have no respect for
those cute but lightweight little top-
pers. And remember, if it rains any-
where in Michigan, it is raining in
Ann Arbor, so be prepared with a
raincoat, babushka or souwester
rubbers, and boots. Umbrellas didn't
go out with Chamberlain. On the first
rainy day, the campus will look like
a landing of the 102nd Airborne in
miniature. The Arb is as fine for
skiing and tobogganing as it is for
its other more famous virtues, so if
you are material for the winter
sport's queen candidacy, bring the
appropriate togs.
No Blue 3 eans!
Confine your blue jeans and slacks
to the dorm and to Arboretum out-
ings. The well dressed University
coed does not appear in her eight
o'clock with pajamas tucked up under
her bluejeans and a babushka cover-
ing the hardware on her head after a
wearing evening at the P-Bell. You'll
find a wraparound skirt and pullover
sweater a more graceful solution to
the problem of making your early Sat-
urday class when your roommate
finally wakens you five minutes after
the lecture began.
But above all else, remember that
it is you and your activities that will
mean more than the clothes you wear.
College women today lead a useful
and important life, and although
their clothes are well-suited to their
activities, they are subordinate to
them.

THE SURGICAL DRESSINGS UNIT, on which students
are working, is a special project of the senior women.
(shown above)
'Coeds Earning
Expenses May
bta in Work
Variety of Jobs Are Available
In Library, Offices, Laundry
Many students are working these
days, many at jobs to be found right
on the University campus.
The Office of the Dean of Women
has a special file for those who want
to find part time job. They keep in
touch with stores, offices, household-
ers, University institutions and other
agencies which need student help.
Girls work in the main library at
all types of jobs - some at the desk,
some in the catalogue department
and still others in the stacks servic-
ing the books. Each girl must put
in a minimum of 15 hours a week in
a schedule that is easily arranged
with her class hours.
Radio Series
Features .War
Activities Here
War activities of Michigan women
have been aired over WPAG this
summer in a -.ries of eleven radio
programs sponsored and produced by
Suomynona, an organization of in-
dependent women.
Suomynona, a group new last year,
has reported for Assembly in these
weekly programs, broadcast at 2:15
p. in. EWT on Thursday.
Scripts for "Michigan Women at
War" are written by Marjorie Baker,
president of Suomynona. In spon-
soring the programs, the group is
aided by members of the broadcast-
ing classes.
Included in the programs are the
facts of how the peacetime League
Council was replaced by the present
Women's War Council, why the sys-
tem of War Activities Work Sheets

Ir Suomynona
Rooming Shortage Will Shift
Many Girls to Private Homes
"We expect more members than
ever in Suomynona this fall because
of the housing shortage," Marjorie
Baker, president of the organization
for independent women, has said.
More women students will have to
live in private homes, making them
eligible for joining Suomynona,
which automatically includes all un-
dergraduate independent women not
living in a dormitory, league house,
cooperative house, or the Michigan
League.
Thus, with the growing number
of students. not living in a sorority
house or residence hall, Suomynona's
sphere will spread in comparison to
Assembly and Pan-Hellenic.
The group, which this summer has
sponsored a series of radio programs
about University women and their
part in the war, will continue with
its social events, such as picnics,
games and parties.
The purpose of Suomynona was
expressed by Mary Chernus, vice-
president, who said, "Suomynona is
an organization whose purpose is to
enable all independent coeds living
in private city residences to assemble
together and to coordinate their in-
terests and activities."
Eleanor Moxness, secretary, and
Marge Faraday, treasurer, will con-
tinue in office until next spring.
Seniors Direct
Dressings Unit
The Michigan League Surgical
Dressings Unit in a part of the Ann
Arbor Red Cross Unit, but is organ-
ized and directed by coeds, primarily
as a senior project.
The Unit is open on week day af-
ternoons from 1 p. m. to 5 p. m. Co-
eds who volunteer to work are given
instructions in rolling various types
of bandages.
Women must wear Red Cross head-
dresses given to them. Cotton blous-
es, smocks or dresses must be worn
in place of wool sweaters, as no lint
must be allowed to enter the ban-
dages. Nail polish is also prohibited.
Headquarters for the 'Unit are on
the second floor of the League. An
extra room is kept in readiness to
handle any overflow of workers. The
Ann Arbor Red Cross sets a quota
of dressings for the Unit and sup-
plies it with materials.
As the campus gathers its beer
kegs and insect lotion and moves in-
doors, a new recreation problem fol-
lows them into the confines of the
dormitories and houses.
As the Arboretum fans have so
often asked, "What is there to do
around here in the wintertime?"
And that is a question . . . but one
with an extensive answer.
Some Entertainment Always
Unless the cosmopolitan student
will take nothing less than the opera
or the Latin Quarter, he can usually
find entertainment of some sort about
the University campus. And unless'
he was brought up in Sun Valley
or Lake Placid, the winter sports
should suit him.
Except for occasional skiing in the
Arboretum, the majority of local en-
tertainment will be indoors for the
winter months. The University op-
erates its own ice skating rink, the
Coliseum, with special student rates
which bring skiing to the level'of a
poor man's sport.
Hockey vs. Basketball Games
University hockey and basketball.
teams keep the sports fan occupied
during the colder part of the year,
their prime fault being the schedules,
which rundinto each other almost ev-
ery Saturday night. Sports fans go
broke, so the old tale goes, wearing
out coins by flipping to see which
game to go to.
University men have a monopoly on
the winter aquatic facilities, but for
the women the day will come . .
for the last 20 years a women's pool
has been in the offing. As it is, non-
swimmers may take an extended bath
in the basement of Barbour Gym-
nasium, where a railing has been set
up around a chip in the cement,
which was subsequently filled with
water. It is, however, dangerous for
the swimmer, who with one stroke
in any direction from any part of.
the pool may bash her brains out on
the concrete.
Dancing at Union
Dancing will return to the fore
when Billy Layton and his Band re-
new dancing at the Union Friday and
Saturday nights after their summer
tour of resorts.
Although the big dances have been
diminished in number, a few im-
portant formals carry on the tradi-
tion. We'll probably see two Union
formals, a combined Slide Rule-En-
gineering Ball, an Inter-fraternity
Ball, and perhaps a Ship's Ball, the
latter an addition made by the local
V-12 unit. Besides these, Army com-
panies may possibly hold private
dances, and fraternities will substi-
tute record dances for beer picnics.
The highlight of the season will
probably be Victory Ball, the last of
the two orchestra dances, and almost
the last of the dances to be held in
the Intramural Building. The Ball
is the only all-campus affair carried
out by an elected committee, and with
a new name carries on the traditional
dances held between semesters.
Tennis, Golf, Biking
For the hardy, there are still out-
door sports. Palmer Field has sev-
eral concrete tennis courts which can
be used in any dry weather, and roll-
er skates may be rented at the
Women's Athletic Building. The city
has golf links and a riding stable,
bicycles may be rented at several
local bike shops.
If there is enough snow, there will
be outdoor skating on nearby Barton
Pond end at Burns Park, and skis
and toboggans will no doubt make
their annual appearance in the Ar-
boretum.
Collectively, sporting facilities are
unusually good for a town the size
of Ann Arbor, and the University
sports enthusiast may find a good
deal with which to occupy himself.
Too much, he might realize, come
mid-semester exams.
