Women's Groups Are Reorganized Under New Plan
W. S. G. A. Vice President Discusses System at First Freshman Lecture
This, the third year that the group system has been in operation on the Hill, finds the project ready for operation under a new plan.
The system was established with the purpose of giving those women in the University who are not members of any organized house a chance to take part in all activities heretofore and to make use of the planned plan, a number of groups were organized, each made of the women living within a radius of a few blocks.
SIX PAGES
New Districts Formed
This plan did not work out as well as was expected because of the diversity of interests of the women the difficulty of finding a meeting place, and the scarcity of women in some districts.
The group system plan is in charge of Ruth Shaw, c. 27, second vice-president of W. S. G. A., who is chairman of the administrative board, the purpose of which is to ensure that each function that each functions properly.
The system was reorganized at a meeting of group leaders hold just before the close of school last spring. The residence sections occupied by the women were divided into six main districts, radiating from the campus as a center. An administrator one representative from each district. Those who were appointed by the group leaders to act as representatives on the board are: Alice Van Meensel, c27; district one; Arlene Roberts, c27; district two; Mable Hertzler, district three; Loom Marsh c28; district four; Frances Dominec, c28; district five; and Frances Dominec, A. B., c25; district six.
System Is Explained
Meetings of the board have been held during the past few weeks and plans have been made for a series of teas where every woman who is interested in becoming a member of a group may find out about her life and become acquainted with the other women living in her district.
At the first of the talks given to freshmen by Chancellor E. H. Lindley last night, Miss Shaw gave a brief talk concerning the group system, telling of its purpose and outlining plans for the work this year. Beginning with the ten will be given. Within the next two weeks, all the districts will have held tens and the women will be given a chance to get acquainted. It is planned to hold the ten in a formal administration, if possible.
Freshman Mixer Planned
After the members of the various districts have become acquainted, any interested women can educate women to divide into smaller groups according to their interests, whether that interest be mainly in sports, social activities, reading groups, or music.
At the next Monday night lecture for freshmen, it is planned to present further information on the system and the leaders of the various districts will be presented to the new women. With the reorganization of the plan and later the other working units, it is hoped that this year may be the most successful since the group system has been established on the Hill.
The annual freshman mixer under the auspices of the Y, M, C, A, and Y, W, C. A. will be in Robinson gymnasium Wednesday Sept. 15 from 8 until 10 p.m. Only freshmen and new students are invited.

Purposes of Peace Now Served by War Weapon
(SCIENCE SURVIVOR)
Faris, Siracusa - gas made by Prof. Gabriel Berrand of the Pasture Institute has found a peace time use in the silk industry. The silk cocacles are gassed by small quantities of chloroperlumin which has proved excellent for processing. The gas has been tried out in various silk raising centers and has been found to possess advanced advantages over killing the cocoons by baking or roasting them. The oils of silk culture the cocoones have to be all sold within a period of two or three weeks, but the use of chloropirnin promises a practical way, it is said, because it can be stored into non-perishable merchandise which can be sold when the market is best.
