L's, and coeds may become junior hostesses. Advised by the newly formed Ser- vicemen's Council of three Army and three Navy men, the Club maintains perpetual entertainment with the many facilities ranging from the W omen's Glee Club To Follow Award System A system of awards to recognize each member for her services will be instigated this season by the Wo- men's Glee Club, an all-campus or- ganization headed by Bernice Hall. Under the direction of Miss Mar- guerite Hood, the Glee Club will hold tryouts for coeds early this fall. As well as offering practice and instruc- tion in group singing, the group re-1 ceives practical experience through1 radio broadcasts and its own con-] certs, one at Christmas and anotherc in the spring.1 Women in the Glee Club are eli- gible to petition for a scholarshipt to help them in their music educa-N tion. - ping-pong tables in the basement to the dance hall on the second floor. Is He Hungry? If he gets hungry, lead him into the kitchen. If its a letter he wants to write, there is plenty of material for him to use, or if he just wants to talk, the lounge is a fine place to re- lax. He can wander in any time of the day to read the newspaper, play cards, chat with junior hostesses, play the piano, or just listen to the nickl- odeon. Countless requests from photogra- phy fans among the servicemen has led to installation of a darkroom, to be used, of course, for developing pictures. Food Again What man doesn't like to eat? Tak- ing this into consideration, the Club starts its week off with a Sunday morning breakfast which is served free of charge to all G. L's between 10 a. m. and noon Sunday. Carrying this theme into the afternoon, a cof- fee hour is held for those who missed out on the breakfast. The classical music hour on Sunday afternoon finds the fellows listening to Beethoven and Brahms. Or if he thinks his own voice will record like Bing Crosby, he can have this done on Wednesday. Portraits Made The profile of Barrymore or some- thing like Van Johnson is achieved when the servicemen has his portrait done so he can send it home to J t USO CLUB at State and Huron offers entertainment to servicemen rang- ing from ping-pong to dancing. The Club has a. kitchen, darkroom, phonograph, juke box and portrait-making services. DISTINCTIVE JEWELRY -YOU'LL BE PROUD TO OWN? In business for over forty years, we have offered Ann Arbor the finest in service. Our stock consists of only the most reputable lines of jewelry. EIBLER'S JEWELRY 308 SOUTH STATE STREET mother. Brushing up on his bridge on Wednesday nights is one of the favorite past times. For those servicemen who like to do a little serious arguing, a discus- sion group is held once a week, head- ed by various members of the faculty. 'Dancing to the juke box twice a week and a Saturday night dance with an orchestra twice a month is a regular attraction. So when you hit Ann Arbor, come one, come all to the USO and join the fun. Junior hostesses must be between the ages of 18 and 30 and should expect to contribute one hour a week in addition to the social hours. Two letters of recommendation, one from a minister, are the only prerequi- sites. Ac qua iE tarce Bureau for You Saturday is the big night, the night of the "Moonlight Ball," and you are in a fever to be among those pres- ent. However, by some cruel trick of fate, Horace is ill, Cuthbert is out of town and your best beau, Elmer, has just been drafted, so here you sit without a date for the biggest dance of the semester. Don't cry, little girl, act. Sign up at the Acquaintance Burean in the League for your ideal escort. This bureau functions every time there is an important dance held on campus. The dance committee will announce in The Daily when the bu- reau is open for business. It is us- ually possible to meet your pros- pective dance partner for a "coke date" in order to get better acquaint- ed before the big night. WIMMIN: Weaker s in jorty The weaker sex is still the strong- er in numbers on the Michigan earn- pus, despite the returning service- men. It took a war to do it, and women are now sneaking through the front door of the Union in such numbers that it has lost its novelty. George, the doorman, is only one man . . and, by the law of averages, he turns his head once in a while. Things have gotten so that every time George blinks a coed takes ad- vantage of his eyes being closed. Even. The Daily In the dear dead days there were so many men flocking about the Union lobby, entrance and front walk that no woman would have a chance to get through the door with- out being caught. But today braver members of the women's swimming classes have a minimum of difficulty in leaving the Union head-on. Women even belong in the Union offices. Bomber Scholarship Com- mittee is half-women, and the old rules barring women from the stu- dent offices can't operate when the Union has given up its sovereignty and come out for cooperation with the League, now called the Women's War Council. If there were a doubt before, it's dispelled by The Daily staff. For the past three years, until this summer, a woman has held the position of managing editor. If a woman had been appointed managing editor five years ago it would have made a ban- ner headline. And the Sports Staff Editorial staff night editors used to be men, men and some more men. Now it's half and half. And then there is the sports staff' ... some more women. The business staff has experienced similar revo- lution, and the women ran it last fall. Vice Versa Life Even dating has been affected, and the independence of the coed has become an accomplished fact when she takes her Friday night date home to the barracks, kisses him good Sex Annual Drama Will Highlight Sop h Activities Twenty-five women have been named to head the committees for the Soph Cabaret, an annual dra- matic production given by members of the sophomore class. General chairman will be Jean Gringle, and Jerry Gaffney will as- sist her. The secretary will be Gretel Schinnerer, and Marilyn Seward will be in charge of patrons.

The singing chorus will be directed by Betty Spillman. Camille Ayo will head the costume committee. Assist- ant chairman in charge of make-up will be Jeanette Collins. Programs The programs will be handled by Pearl Handlesman. Sarah Simon will check eligibility and Sue Lunden will head the refreshment committee. Jean Lindsay has been chosen to be in charge of hostesses. Finane will be managed by Betty Hahneman, assisted by Jo Reuland. The chair- man of decorations is Ernalee Brut- schy, and Lois Calvin is her assistant. Hospital Work Is Soph Project The Soph Project for the past few years has been to recruit hospital volunteers for the University Hos- pital. Cynthia Coates will head the pro- ject this fall. Her assistants are Audrey Lawrence, Pearl Klausner, Julie Benson, Lucille Kennedy, Marie Neumeister, Carla Mullendor, Mar- tha Gilmore, Barbara Busse, Nancy Robertson, Betty Lou Zwemer, Jan- ice Green and Edna Klein. A meeting will be held early in the term for those women interested. night, and treks home with hours to spare. Women once felt themselves restricted by "keeping hours." War- time has turned the tables. Hitchhiking has also undergone a radical change since Pearl Harbor, Men in uniform are prevented by service regulations from lifting a thumb, and so it has become profit- able to take a date on week-end jaunts which once were stag parties. The date, understand, does the thumbing. Yes, the age of chivalry really is dead. And So . . . All this must have its social im- plications. What will the future hold? Is a woman to sit at home, waiting for a man to telephone? Hardly. She must be out of the house, running the campus in some way or other. Picking cherries and raking leaves, the campus woman might as well forget that spotless, band-box ap- pearance. So . . . she can no longer attract men by frailness and femi- ninity. What's to be done? BUCK UP!: Campus Is Not A Harem The Army, Navy, Marine Corps and returned veterans have kept the Michigan campus a comparatively bright spot as far as dating and. so- cial affairs are concerned and, al- though the big-name bands and weekly fraternity parties have van- ished with the war, the entering freshman women may expect to have almost as good a time as she would have found in the be-moaned pre- war days. The coed is given a start during orientation week with coke dates, in- dividual and collective, with fresh- man men, so she may meet at the very beginning members of her own class. Although she mustn't expect to "meet her future husband," the coed may look forward to possible future friendships from the coke dates. If this department proves false, there is no cause for deep disap- pointment because, even with that inevitable wartime manpower shortage, there are still men on the University campus, and there are still many ways of meeting them. The Ruthven teas and the weekly parties at the International Center are obvious spots to form new friend- ships.. If you are in an organized Uni- versity house, especially one of the larger ones, there will be the inevit- able parties for servicemen. Also instrumental in the open season on servicemen is the USO. Registration will be held at Harris Hall, the USO's clubhouse,' and you will be assigned to a "Regiment," which will hold meetings and give parties. Further information on the UEO may be found elsewhere in this section. Classrooms are also instrumental as meeting places. There are few classes at the University with no men at all, and often out-of-class discussions about the subject lead to lasting friendships. Church groups are still, as the always have been, cne of the best meeting-places. Here persons have at least one interest in common, and it is easy to talk with strang- ers when eating supper in a church basement or picnicking with the group on the church lawn. Although local extra-curricular ac- tivities are to a certain extent segre- gate, there is a possibility in them of making new acquantances with the perennial popular subject, men. Dance, committees are legion for making friends, and there are mixed groups in the Post-War Council, the Michigan Youth for Demoratic Ac- tion, the Inter-Racial Association, and the Daily. However, don't let it be said we're encouraging you to join the above for social purposes. How- ever, there's nothing against side- lines. Working in stores, University cafeterias, and soda bars is anoth- er popular acquaintance-method. Who can remain inside a shell while struggling with the dishes behind a soda fountain? In summary, this is not a com- pletely dateless campus. Men are still where you find them, although the quantity may be somewhat de- creased, and they may be. wearing different camouflage . . . khaki, green, and blue. They're stir men, and they want to have a good time as much as you do. Many a woman thinks she bought a gown for a ridiculous price when in reality she bought it for an ab- surd figure, There's nothing like a wedding To make a feller learn At first he thinks she's his'n -And later finds he's her'n. _ _ __ lil 'I' III{ 66]J yRoom Really Looksl ike Home" L?
