TIIE MICHIGAN DAILY 'Miss Mac' Advises 'U' Coeds., In Extra-Curricular Activities e - ' by JOAN WILK IF YOU don't know where to pro- cure a movie projector for the 'U' Fresh Air Camp movies, if you want to organize a new project for women on campus, or if you are won- dering about the proper procedure for inviting professors to a faculty team, "ask Miss Mac." "Miss Mac" is Miss Ethel A. Mc- Coimick who, as social director of the League, is the advisor for women's activities. It is lier job to see that every job or project undertaken by coeds in conection with the League is a sucess. She is consulted on plans for affairs ranging from JGP dancing classes to refreshments to be served at a coed bridge. In addition to acting as chief coun- sellor and every coed's angel, Miss McCormick is responsible for budget- ing events. "We are primarily inter- ested in developing leaders and wo- men who can assume responsibility," she explains, "and not in whether or not we make a profit." MISS McCORMICK first came in contact with Michigan coeds when she was a member of the Phy- sical Education Department for Wo- men. At that time, members of the cast of JGPlay rehearsed in Barbour Gym and Miss McCormick was on hand to answer any questions that arose. She also worked with coeds on Lantern Night. When the present Michigan League was completed, President Alexander G. Ruthven asked Miss McCormick to serve as coordinating supervisor of women's activities. Since that time, she has° served in her present posi- tion,hand has beenresponsible for making the League the central mec- ca of women's campus affairs as well as a building devoted solely -to the interests of coeds. Commenting on the merit system of petitioning interviewing, the social .director said, "There is a .sincere ef- fort to make every women feel that she is welcome in any campus ac- tivity and to encourage women to talie part in the activities they are interested in." She continued that there is a feeling of getting people acquainted and that "anyone with an idea has the opportunity of having it heard." Miss McCormick emphasized that who strives for a frank relationship between students and that many times she has allowed coeds to un- dertake projects which she believed would not be entirely successful. However, she was quick to admit that in many cases she was proud that they had not failed she had been wrong. and that ASKED ABOUT relations between Assembly and Panhellenic Boards, Miss Mac explained that both or- ganizations work together and have jointly sponsored events such as Pan- hellenic-Assembly Hall, clothing drives and Fresh Air Camp Tag Day. She further explained that the two organizations now occupy adjoining offices on the third floor of the League. With an eye to, the future, Miss McCormick said that she feels wo- Proper Clothes Seen as Useful Coed Study Aid Dressing in the right clothes for the right occasion is the key to suc- cess and so it is with the proper approach to studying. Despite rumors to the contrary, quite a bit of studying is called for in the typical college program. And until you learn exactly how much the minimum cover charge is, it's better to plan on doing too much. But to get back to the main topic, you can't study if you're not dressed for it or you can't study if you are dressed. What I really mean is that you have to "be undressed to study and dressed in study clothes. Now that blue jeans have been prohibited, we discover that the chief difference in this year's and last year's study clothes is their new primness. One of the sharpest new ideas is the gray flannel three-quar- ter slacks to be worn with a casual flannel shirt of a contrasting color. Also sweet and neat are the navy, black, or brown and whitechecked slacks and matching "battle jackets" with their military crispness. Or if you prefer to study in lux- urious femininity, there are quilted jersey brunch coats which come in wonderful colors - black with red lining, white with soft light blue, or aqua with peach. These can be teamed with black satin trousers which complete the effect of ex- travagance. So when you study, dress the part, but don't ever part with these extra special study dresses. Cloud Strollers Add Novel Note To Coed Wardrobe Newest of the new in eye-deceiving apparel are the cloud strollers intro- duced by a leading designer this year. Simply a refinement of the culotte of several years ago, the strollers look like an honest to goodness 'skirt with unpressed pleats, yet give the freedom and movability of short slacks. How is this phenomenon accom- plished? By an ingenious system of pleating. Front view, cloud strollers appear to be a skirt with four un- pressed pleats, the center one, a pleat extending across milady's front. The overlap prevents the strollers from revealing their true nature while walking. Made into suits, the outfits are convincingly tailored and good look- ing. NO NEED TO GRIND: Phi Bete Offers Sound Advice To Aspiring Young Women By A PHI BETE Don't let the byline scare you! 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 further, 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 get a few assignments your first day in class, so instead of spending fif- teen minutes hanging out your win- dow ogling at veterans, spend the time getting your assignment out of the way. Most of the early assign- ments are short, and if you nibble away at rthem 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 hour. Utilizing your odd hours dur- ing the day has the advantage of leaving your late afternoonsgand your evenings free for chats with your friends, activities or an occa- sional movie. Cutting classes is a matter for the individual to settle for himself, but I wouldn't recommend it except in cases of dire necessity. Attending classes 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- ture 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, 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 optional assignments is to ask him a question about it, perhaps some point that differs from 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 questions he'll ask. If not, you can always make use of the exam files at the main library lower study hall. Hoping 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 -urgeryouto go out for some extra-curricular activity fro its many benefits and I hope you'll have as much fun as I have. THE VICTORS Now for a cheer they are here, triumphant!

Michigan I- 4- 'MISS MAC' men will be more civic-minded and will continue to use their good judg- ment in deciding issues pertaining to the things they have to do. "The reason that they have con- tinued to improve the caliber of their %rork in activities is dui to the fact that they have ideas and the oppor- tunity to work them out. They are given responsibility in the positions they hold and have the backing of the entire University from start to finish," she explained. Reminiscing about her experiences as smcial director, Miss McCormick recalled an incident at a pre-war Soph Cabaret when she was asked to make a drawing for door prizes dur- ing the floorshow. The crowd waited expectantly for the first ticket to be withdrawn from the box and much to her embarrassment, Miss Mac dis- covered she had drawn her own tick- et. All in all, Miss Mac is as important a part of coed life at the University, as the League itself. Don't Forget n. .Ant Hail!
