GleeClubOpen

A proposed tour of other Univer-
sity campuses is on of the projects
to be undertaken this year by the
Women's Glee Club, a League activ-
ity which is open to all women on
campus.
Headed by Barbara Everett, Gam-
ma Phi Beta, the Club offers prac-

School of Music, directs the group.
Tryouts are held early in the fall

ing the Spring semester for the bene-
fit of women entering school this

Judiciary Body
Has Two-Fold
Task This Year,
Headed by Jean Louise Hole, Pi
Beta Phi, Women's Judiciary Com-
mittee will continue its two-fold task
of supervising the interviewing and
petitioning system and enforcing
house rules.
Posts on the League Council, jun-
ior positions in the League, Assem-
bly and Panhellenic board positions,
and all class project heads are ap-
pointed by Judiciary through peti-
tions and interviews.
The committee consists of Car-
olyn Newburg, Martha Cook, sec-
retary; Harriet Shinnick, Delta
!Delta Delta, senior member; and
Betty Hahnemann, Sue Lunden
and Jo R.euland, junior members.
Sophomore aids to the Council are
Eleanor Hoffmaster, Harriet Fried-
man, Lois Jean Hall, Dulcie Kras-
nick, and Eileen Scanlon.
Before any petitioning is sched-
uled, the Judiciary Committee holds
a meeting for all those who are eli-
gible for the project in question and
at that time exp'lains the proced-
ure and the qualifications necessary
for the positions.
The petitions which incorporate
the applicant's ideas for the posts
plus any special qualifications she
has for the job are due one week
after the opening of petitioning has
been announced in The Daily. The
applicant then signs for an inter-
view at which time she explains fur-
ther her definite plans for the job
in question.
After consideration of all appli-
cants, Judiciary submits its recom-
mendations to League Council for
approval.
in its capacity as a "court," Ju-
diciary Committee hears all the
cases of infringement of house
rules recommended to it by house
directors and the Office of the
Dean of Women.,
According to Miss Hole, each
freshman woman will be given a
pamphlet of house rules during ori-
entation and each woman in the
University is responsible for know-
ing and abiding by the house rules.
"Any violation of the rules due to
not knowing the rules will be hand-
led as any other violation," she
added.
Of special importance to fresh-
men is the rule that freshmen are
not given automatic late permission
for University sponsored events dur-

Women's Staff
Needs Workers
The staccato of typewriters, the
click of the teletype as the news
comes in, the thrill of hearing the
sharp series of bells when big news
comes over the wire, and the roar of
rolling presses all go to make up the
unique atmosphere at The Daily.
There's more to a women's page
than weddings and engagements-
plenty more. Fashions and social af-
fairs now are crowded off the page
by news and features on campus pro-
jects. Student reporters and editors
complete every step in the process of
putting out a paper.
Opportunities Limitless
The Daily women's staff offers an
opportunity to gain a toe-hold in
campus activities. Members of the
staff learn to know people, and more
important, people learn to know them.
Tryouts write assigned stories and
work on the editor's desk one night
each week, writing heads and rewrit-
ing copy. As soon as tryouts grasp the
fundamentals, they are automatical-
ly promoted to sophomore staff.
Beats are assigned and sophs-con-
tinue to work desk until they are
ready to tryout night edit a page.
Night editorship, a paid position,
is the next step toward the top. Night
editors make up one page a week,
check heads, and prepare the page
for publication. Two senior positions,
women's editor and associate, are
open to qualified women.
Experience Unnecessary
Experience is not necessary to try-
out for the women's staff, but wo-
men who have had experience in

contact houses with announces
ments of League and campus func-
tions.
Improvements in rushing systems,
active participation of sorority wom-
en in campus activities, cooperation
with Assembly and more efficient
integration within Panhellenic itself
are the major aims of the Associ-
ation. Open forums are occasionally
held in which suggestions for the
betterment of the governing body
are received. Recommendations
which came out of the forum last
year have been incorporated in the
plans for the coming semesters.
In addition to the meetings of
house delegates, rushing chairmen
from all houses meet to formulate
formal rushing rules. Regulation of
rushing is the primary executive pur-

Group Represents
Unaffiliated Coeds
Every independent woman on cam-
pus is automatically a member of
Assembly, the organization estab-
lished in 1932 to provide a central
group representing unaffiliated wo-
men.

members, are necessary to gain ad-
mittance to Assembly functions.

its president at weekly meetings at
the League. Announcements of
League and campus activities, dis-
cussion of house problems, and As-
sembly business are handled at these
meetings.

business organization are performed

Coed, Leaders
If you wagon is hitched to a star
or if the term BWOC strikes musical
chords on your ears or if campus ex-
tra-curricular activities have a magic
appeal for you, then, you will find
that Michigans many honor societies
are looking in your direction.
Alpha Lambda Delta
Most of the honor societies are for
junior and senior women although
freshman women are eligible for
membership in one honor society, Al-
pha Lambda Delta. Members are
chosen on the basis of their scholastic
achievements only, requirenents be-
ing half A's and half B's in the first
semester. Other purely scholastic
achievements such as Phi Kappa Phi
or Phi Beta Kappa are attained only
by those juniors and seniors who
really have solved the mysteries of
Ec. 51 or English 2.
Of course, the societies which rec-
ognize BWOC's also have scholastic
requirements. Mortarboard, national
honorary society for senior women,
has a scholastic record of 3. above
campus average for a standard re-
quirement. Other than this, its mem-
bers are chosen on the basis of ser-
vice in campus activities and char-
acter. Members wear a miniature
mortarboard of black and gold as
their pin.
Senior Society, Scroll
Unaffiliated senior women are eli-
gible for membership in Senior So-
ciety, while sorority women may be
elected to Scroll. These three so-
cieties have as their main function
that of service to the campus as a
whole. For instance, in past years
Mortarboard members tutored re-
turning veterans in difficult sub-
jects. Senior Society works in close
cooperation with Assembly.
Freshmen Program
Freshmen women advisors, headed
by Joan Schlee, Chi Omega, will meet
their groups for the first time Mon-
day morning, Sept. 16. Succeeding
days will be spent taking physical
examinations, aptitude tests, tours of
the campus, and hearing explana-
tions of various buildings and sys-
tems.
A mass meeting Monday night will
acquaint freshmen women with Pres-
ident Alexander Ruthven, Dean Alice
Lloyd, and Dean Joseph A. Bursley.
Prof. David Mattern of the Music
School will lead community singing
and student leaders will explain the
functions of campus organizations.
Entertainment Planned
On following nights, freshmen
women will be entertained by exerpts
from last year's Soph Cabaret, an-
naul sophomore variety night, and
scenes from "There's Room for -All,"
the 1946 Junior Girls Play which was
written, directed, and produced sole-
ly by junior women. They will also
be guests at a style show presented
by the Women's Athletic Association.
"Our Orientation Week was plan-
ned to give freshmen women a chance
to become acquainted with the Uni-
versity more easily. Upperclass ad-
visors are able to steer freshmen
clear of many stumbling blocks which
they themselves encountered not so
very long ago," explained Miss Schlee.
Junior members of the freshmen
orientation supervisory committee are
Carla Mullendore, Betty Lou Zwemer,
and Nancy Robertson..
