It's a real event when Hazel arrives. You have no idea how one velvety rose can change a whole day for a lad.

A small residence hall run by the Mexican Association of University Women and sponsored by the university now boasts the first board-and-room accommodations ever on the campus for women students. I talked with the university's president, Rudolfo Brito Foueh-er, and caught his enthusiasm in the advances being made for women here.

Of course, the plans are moving slowly. The residence for women as yet is only an experiment. But it is working out so successfully that It should open a whole new field for women students, making it possible for more girls to come to the city from the outlying states and live under university upervision. Backed by Faculty Women Senorita Luz Grovas is dean tt women. She is a soft-spoken woman whose heart is in this experiment as is that of charming Senorita Maria Teresa Chavez, president of the University Women's Association.

Both have traveled the United States and know many educators there. Senorita Grovas spoke of Dr. Mary Sinclair Crawford, former dean of women at the University of Southern California. In the basement of the residence hall the university operates a clinic for tubercular students.

She recalled conference discussions on the practical side of building a commonwealth in Palestine, of saving Jewish children in Nazi-dominated countries, of getting food and clothing to the Jews still crowded in Axis-controlled ghettos. "We have to double or triple our efforts and ask the help of the United States and Great Britain," she asserter. Mrs.

Desoto Poole, national president of Hadassah, told the conference that on the day she spoke 102 child refugees had arrived in Palestine, and that recently her organization had sent $110,000 for their care. "That work must go on." Mrs. Sieroty said. "That is the responsibility of our women and for it we will continue to strive. But the rescue and establishing of Jewish people In Palestine is possible only through abrogation of the Palestine white paper of which limited Jewish immigration and which will halt it in March." Mrs.

Sieroty says this the first step toward ending anti-Semitism and preserving Jewish culture built through centuries. IT'S THE NAVY Lieut. Comdr. Turner F.
