Whether they are flat, round or square for a Collegiate hair style at The DASCOLA BARBERS Liberty off State "In the 1880's the basic tech- nique used to be pushing a wheel3 barrow. Today it is typing," Miss Bacon said. Being able to type a little is not enough, she ex- plained. It is like being able to push a wheel barrow "a little." She said that a number of women could find better jobs and also do their schoolwork more satisfactorily if they were good typists. Typing courses are offered to students from all colleges in the University by the School of Busi- ness Administration. * * * MISS BACON said that many people do not realize how many women work while attending col- lege. "Nobody looks as though she works her way through college any more," Miss Bacon pointed out. Nevertheless a "large min- ority" do. She added that work- ing for at least part of their ex- penses is common among both the independent and affiliated women. The Dean of Women's Office does not recommend that first se- mester freshmen work, however, if it is not absolutely essential. It is also recommended that maximum weekly hours for part-time jobs do not exceed approximately 20. * * * APPLICATIONS for women to do housework or to care for chil- dren in return for complete board and room are also handled through the Dean of Women's Office. The hours of work must not exceed 21 and all homes in which women live off-campus must be approved by the office. Women wishing to apply for University jobs, including typ- ing or clerical work, may do so through the Personnel Office in the Administration Bldg. Another office which assists stu- dents in finding part-time jobs is the Residence Halls Office in the Administration Bldg. Before the school year begins women may ap- ply there for work such as wait- ress jobs, in residence halls. Dur- ing the school year they apply di- rectly to the dormitory dieticians. Women may also apply directly to the League, Union, General Lib- rary and University Hospital for work there. Mer t-Tutorial Offers Coeds Two Services Because it is actually two com- mittees in one, the Merit-Tutorial Committee performs a double job. Half of the job consists of keep- ing a complete record of the extra- curricular activities of every wo- man on campus. The committee is also concerned with employing eligible tutors and placing them with students desiring tutoring service. ** * THE OFFICE of the committee is in the League and is open every afternoon, the hours to be an- nounced in the fall. Card files of the extra-curricular activities of every undergraduate woman on campus are kept in this office. These files are used by the So- cial Director of the League and the Judiciary Council. Honor societies refer to them when tap- ping new members. Upon graduating, each woman's card is put on file in the Dean of Women's office and a new one is made out for the Bureau of Ap- >ointments. Prospective employ- Ers inquire at the Bureau about the college activities record of ,oeds. THE OTHER job of the com- mittee is to employ tutors in every subject offered at the University. In order to be eligible, stu- dents applying for positions as tutors must have a final grade no lower than B In the subject if it is her major. She must have an A in any other subject she wishes to tutor. Those desiring to hire tutoring service can do so by applying at the Merit-Tutorial Office. Any- one is eligible except firse semester freshmen before their five weeks grades are out. Tutors are paid $1 an hour and arrangements for time and place of the lessons are made between the student and the tutor. Women entering college for the, first time may look forward to many phases of college life, but whatever their field or interests may be, the University is well equipped with honorary societies to record their achievements. Five honoraries and several pro- fessional women's fraternities are represented on this campus. * * * ALPHA LAMBDA DELTA is a national scholastic society for freshman women who have attain- ed a 3.5 or higher average during their first semester or over the whole year. The fraternity also honors senior members who have main- tained the 3.5 rating through- out their college career. The or- ganization is basically honor- ary, but the members plan to incorporate one social function in their yearly activities. The symbol of the organization is a small pin in the shape of the lamp of knowledge. S* *. WOMEN WHO are outstanding in scholarship, leadership and service during their sophomore year are eligible for membership to Wyvern, an all-campus honor society. The name Wyvern originates from a welsch word meaning protecting dragon. The symbol of the organization is derived from this meaning--a gold pin with a dragon around the let- ter W'. To become a member of Wyvern, sophomore women must have an average two tenths about that of the campus. * * * AT THE CLOSE of their junior year members select a new group of sophomore women to replace them the following year. The list of new members is not revealed until the Wyverns march through dormitories and houses singing their traditional "Damn, Damn, Damn, to Michigamua . .." as they tap their successors. For seniors, Senior Society, Scroll and Mortar Board, also recognize outstanding women. Membership in all three is bas- ed on service, scholarship and leadership. Senior Society is a local organi- zation and includes only independ- ent women. This organization was the first honor society on campus. * * * MEMBERS OF Senior Society are tapped at Fortnight and In- stallation. They are presented with white collars with blue bows which they wear the next day. Scroll is composed solely of affiliated coeds. Their tapping is also kept secret until Installa- tion Night when the old -mem- bers run through the aisles of Rackham Amphitheatre desig- nating their successors. Scroll's main project is the maintenance of a scholarship fund. Members wear a small gold medal in the shape of a scroll as recognition. Both affiliated and independent women are eligible for member- ship in Mortar Board. The society traditionally carries out its tap- ping ceremony in the dormitories and sorority houses after closing hours. THE PIN of this organization is a black enamel and gold mor- tarboard. Among professional women's fraternities are the national or- ganizations of Mu Phi Epsilon and Sigma Alpha Iota, music sororities. The Mu Phi Epsilon chapter on this campus is the earliest one still in existence. Membership is based on average. Sophomores must have a rating of 3, juniors. and seniors 2.8, and graduates and tranfer students 3.3. The organi- zation sponsors scholarships and awards to stimulate proficiency in musicianship, scholarship and ser- vice. HonorarySocieties Recognize Above Average Achievements Coeds Chosen for Scholarship, Leadership A LEAGUE FACILITY-The new Round-up Room, located in the basement of the Women's League, offers students a place for relaxation between classes as well as a gathering quarters and well- equipped snack center. The Rumpus Room, also located in the basement, offers a television> set, ping pong tables and a jukebox for entertainment during the evening and between classes. Freshmen May Choose Rooming Quarters In Dormitories, League Houses, Cooperatives A To live in a dormitory or not to live in a dormitory, that is the question of the freshman coed. If a dormitory, which one? These are the first major problems that face most incomers to the Uni- versity, and the campus housing planners have tried to provide enough variety to satisfy every woman. IF A COED decides to live in a dormitory, she has six to choose from, ranging in size from one- hundred residents to the largest, which houses over five-hundred women. Each housing one-hundred un- dergraduate women, Betsy Bar- bourrand Helen Newberry dorm- itories stand next to each other on State Street, opposite Angell Hall. On Observatory Hill, a few blocks from the main part of cam- pus, stand the largest women's dormitories. Stockwell Hall, on the corner of Observatory and North University, was built ten years ago and has space for five-hundred women. Next to it, in the middle of the block, stands Mosher-Jor- dan Hall, actually two separate houses, eaching housing about250 women. ALICE LLOYD HALL, consist- ing of Angell House, Hinsdale House, Kleinstueck House, and Palmer House stands just beyond Mosher-Jordan and has room for about 150 women in each house. New Dorm, as it has been nicknam- ed, is the newest and most modern of the women's dormitories. Martha Cook, situated next to the Law Quadrangle, has space for 132 upperclasswomen. It is an honorary dormitory and the girls must reach and keep a high scholastic average as well as par- ticipate in campus activities. If a girl would rather live in a more homelike atmosphere, a lea- gue house would probably be ad- visable. These houses are super- vised residences, varying in size from ten to twenty-five women. Some of them do not servemeals, while others provide one or two of them a day. There are about twenty of these league houses on campus. e , ' t 1 SOME WOMEN may find it ne- cessary to work part of their way through college. The cooperative houses are provided for such needs. Here, a woman works part of each day for the benefit of her house. Cooking, cleaning, yard work or any of the other jobs en- tailed with keeping a house are all performed by the residents, which helps pay for their room and board. Songstresses Gi Coeds who enjoy singing have an opportunity to display their talents in the Women's Glee Club which is open to all eligible under- graduate women on campus. Tryouts for the club are held the first week of each semester. Although no scholastic credit is earned, Jea nAllen, president of the club, promises that members will obtain valuable experience during their membershio. Besides giving two big campus concerts each year, the club makes a four day tour during spring vaca- tion. Last year they made appear- ve ances in several cities in Michigan. This year, although only tentative plans have been made, the club napes to enlarge on the number of concerts. According to the director, Mrs. Samuel Estep, the club sings a great variety of numbers during the course of the year. These in- clude secular and sacred classics, popular songs of present and past vintage and the favorite Michigan College songs. The group special- ized in American Folk, songs last season. At the annual spring banquet the club presents keys for service to two-year members and officers. Two scholarships are also awarded to deserving members, and these rewards are to be used for lessons in any field of music. New Glee Club officers for this year are: Jean Allen, president; Marion Charles, vice president; Nancy Beveridge, business mana- ger; Maxine Wolfe, secretary; Peg- gy Graham, publicity chairman; Charlotte Pritchard, librarian; and Jill Schiller, assistant librarian. Concerts I SIGMA ALPHA IOTA also se- lects its members on scholarship and musicianship. Musicals are given once a month and two pub- lic musicals are presented during the year. During May Festival the organization gives a luncheon for the performing artists. Theta Sigma Phi is an honorary journalistic fraternity. The organ- ization has 10,000 alumnae and 81 college and alumnae chapters throughout the country. Alumnae are found in every major phase of newspaper, publicity, film stu- dio, advertising, and magazine work. Dorothy Thompson, Eleanor Roosevelt, Jan Struther, Dorothy Canfield Fischer, Kathleen Norris, Edna Ferber, Dorothy Dix, Mar- jorie Kinman Rawlings and Cor- nelia Otis Skinner are among the well known honorary members of the organization. Zeta Phi Eta is a professional speech fraternity on campus. ....4.. 'U y} 77yy y " N t I F f ! ": I.YI ,Wl Y ., t N f 4".4947ti' .
