"Coed graduates of the Univer-
sity's professional school of phys-
ical education are outstanding as
a group in my opinion," said Dr.
Margaret Bell, chairman of the
Program of Physical Education for
Women.
"Since 1925 we haven't had
more than two or three grad-
uates we couldn't heartily recom-
mend," she added.
Statistics indicate that nation-
ally there is an oversupply of
physical education teachers but
here Dr. Bell stated that she re-
ceives more requests for Michigan
graduates than she can even begin
to fill. And these job offers all
list high wages, the average pay
ranging from $2,800 to $3,500.
Therefore as well as being a
very interesting profession, it is
also a highly paid one.
Contrary to popular opinion it
takes a better than average stu-
dent rather than a poorer one to
make a go of physical education,
pr. Bell said. So many persons are
quick to label physical education a
"snap" when they know little
about the full curriculum which
includes many hours of sciences,
Ashe continued.
This year women wishing to
concentrate in physical education
j will not specialize in their fresh-
man year as was formerly done.
They will fulfill the University's
requirements and get their prere-
quisites, but will not start con--
centrating until their sophomore
year.
There is an unlimited demand
for graduates with bachelor's,
master's and doctor's degrees in
the field. Women interested in
concentration should write to Dr.
Laurie Campbell or inquire in
person at the School of Education
during orientation week.
A preliminary informationalI
iandbook for freshman coeds has
been prepared by the Department
of Physical Education for women.!
The handbook gives a complete
history of physical education for
women at the University since
1897 when the firstrwoman physi-
cal education instructor was ap-
pointed. Barbour Gymnasium was
constructed in that same year
with facilities for 200 girls. Today
five times that number are ac-
commodated in classes alone.
Also included is general infor-
mation about the present set-up
of theidepartment. The physical
education program at Michigan
is divided into three units: the re-
quired program for entering fresh-
men, the teacher education pro-
gram for women entering physical
education as a career and the rec-
reational program for all women
students interested in extra-cur-
ricular activities.
BETWEEN 1100 and 1200 stu-
dents participate annually in the
required program which is ar-
ranged according to the needs of
each freshman woman after a
complete physical examination
and individual conferences. Phy-
sical fitness tests and corrective
work is included in this program.
Every season more than 300
women apply for non-credit in-
struction, but due to lack of
space and teachers many of
them are disappointed. If there
are any openings in the classes
these women are given careful
consideration, but freshmen still
hold priority.
Elective activities range from
the nineteen organized sports
clubs sponsored by the Women's
Athletic Association to self initi-
ated activities. The WAA sports
clubs are managed by women who
have petitioned for the positions
and are open to all coeds, includ-
ing first-semester freshmen.
A NEW SWIMMING pool, which
will be part of a physical educa-
tion building to be built south of
the Women's Athletic Building
is included in the department's
future hopes.
New staff members this fall
include M. Spears, B.S. and
M.A., assistant supervisor in the
physical education department.
Others include Lois Dungan
Redd, B.S., M.A., who will assume
the position of assistant supervis-
or of physical education; and Val-
erie Turner, B.S., who will assist
in dancing.

MICHIGAN MECCA--The Women's League, shown above, is the
center of all coed activities, social, recreational and governing.
Equipped with dining rooms, study halls, lounges, rehearsal rooms
and offices, the League stands as a second home away from home
for many University women and men as well although traditionally
a stronghold of the fair sex.
YE OLDE SPIRIT:
Alumnae Still Loyal, Active

Dean
Bromage
(Continued from Page 1)
the Dean of Women can point
out to you special help in case
of need.
"We want your ideas and your
contributions to campus, life 'be-
cause a good share of what our
University is today is what the
students during the past one hun-
dred years and more have made
it.
* * *
"BUT YOU ARE coming because
you want the University's tradi-
tions of democratic control of
free interchange of ideas; and of
congenial company. All of these
things you are seeking or you
would not have chosen the Uni-
versity of Michigan.
"The very diversity of our
campus community is the surest
way of learning today's science
of human relations.
"It is because education, not
wealth or high birth or power, is
the touchstone of prestige in
American society that we are a
truly democratic nation. This
prestige the University has in
store for you.
"EDUCATION IS NOT some-
thing which is given, even by a
great and diversified University
with its myriad resources; educa-
tion is something- you acquire for
yourself.
"Bring your own scale of
values and be prepared to re-
tain that independence of jud-
gment prized pre-eminently by
youth.
"What you will learn here about
your life's work, your lasting
friends and associations, the es-
thetic enjoyment of books, mu-
sic, and art - all this will end
for you in a Commencement four
years from now: a commencement
of life-long service because the
University will have opened to
you the means of self-realization."
Batty Place
MALAGA, N.M.-Bat paradise is
located in Carlsbad Caverns, N.M.,
where five million bats fly out
at sundown, according to those
who know bats best.
The caverns are also occupied
by blind fish and other sightless
creatures.

Although alumnae of the Uni-
versity have been active since the
first coed graduated in 1871, they
did not organize into a group until
1917.
Not only was the University one
of the first large universities to
become coeducational but it was
the first to be represented at an
early national alumnae conference
sponsored by the Association of
Collegiate Alumnae, now known as
the American Association of Uni-
versity women.
In the year 1917 the Central
Correspondence Committee began
directing work "to do more for
Michigan women and to stand by
all interests and achievements of
the University as expressed
through her Alumnae Association.
* * *
THE FIRST project undertaken
by the alumnae was the purchase
of a self-help house on Washtenaw
Ave. maintained by women stu-
dents and known as Alumnae
House. In 1926 the Regents ac-
quired the residence which is the
present Mary Markley House.
With the continued growth of
alumnae throughout the coun-
try, the name Central Corres-
pondence Committee was no
longer repriesenitative of that
organization's function. Accord-
ingly in 1920 it became known
as the Alumnae Council of
Alumni Association.
Headquarters for alumnae as
well as all women's organizations
were housed in Barbour Gymna-
sium until 1928. The Women's
League began a drive for a separ-
ate women's building in 1921 and
the Alumnae Council campaigned
for $1,000,000.
* * *
WHEN HALF the sum had been
raised the Regents donated the
land on which the building now
stands and in June, 1929, the for-
mal dedication took place.
Among the permanent projects
of the Council is a program of stu-
dent aid based on awarding of
current scholarships and fellow-
ships and the establishment of
permanent endowments in $10,000
units as basic funds for graduate
fellowships.
Love for Babies
LOVESICK, Mo.-A child wants
evidence of being loved, just like
an adult, according, to psychia-
trists.
This is especially true when the
child is lonesome, sick, or un-
happy.I
