Headed by Barbara Everett, Gam- ma Phi Beta, the Club offers prac- tice and experience in group sing- ing with an opportunity for solo work. Miss Marguerite Hood, of the School of Music, directs the group. Tryouts are held early in the fall semester and all second semester freshmen and undergraduate wo- men are eligible to tryout for the Club. Tryouts will be held again dur- ing the Spring semester for the bene- fit of women entering school this var Membershin is limited to ap- 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 Reuland, 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 explains 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 TheDaily. 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- See JUDICIARY, Page 5 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- Sept. 17 Set as Beginning Date For Transfer Coeds' Program Special Activities Designed To Acquaint New Women with University Facilities For the first time in the history of University Orientation Weeks, fresh- men and transfer women will participate in two separate programs of activities.

All incoming women are expected to take advantage of the special week which is designed to famil- iarize new students with the facilities of the University. Women will be divided into small groups under the supervison of upper class advisors. COEDS RELAX ON ANGELL HALL STEPS: Angell H all is the home of the College of Literature, Science and the Arts and the majestic front steps make a popular p lace to relax between classes. Panhellenic, Assembly Govern Sorority, Independent Women Honor Societies Central Organization Heads 20 Sororities Panhellenic Association is the cen- tral organization which governs ap- proximately 1000 affiliated women, members of the 20 sororities on the Michigan campus.

Lois Cothran, Alpha Chi Omega, is Panhel rushing secretary, and Patricia Pontius will be treas- urer. Weekly meetings of chapter pres- idents and delegates, sponsored by Panhel, provide opportunities for group discussion of house prob- lems concerning activities and scholarship, as well as a means to contact houses with announce- 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- See PANHELLENIC, Page 4 Group Represents. Unaffiliated Coeds Every independent woman on cam- pus is automatically a imember of Assembly, the organization estab- lished in 1932 to provide a central group representing unaffiliated wo- men. Membership cards, issued to all. members, are necessary to gain ad- mittance to Assembly functions. Headed this year by Jean Clare, Martha Cook, the organization strives to promote higher scholarship, and increased participation in ex- tra-curricular activities, as well as representing independents on the League Council.

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, requirements be- ing half A's and half B's in the first semester. Other purely scholastic achievements such as Phi KappaPhi 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.

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.

Placed under Institute Supervision Recognizing the need for students to have actual observance of hu- man behavior as supplement to lab- oratory and textbook work, the Uni- versity, in January of this year, made the camp a subsidiary of the basis with sociologists, psychologists, and psychiatrists all contributing to discussion from their aspect of a specific problem. Student Counselors Assist In addition to receiving instruction in the various fields concerned with human adjustment, each student is required, under supervision of tu- torial staff members, to write up case reports on the children for which he is responsible.
