'Cliffe Girls Must Do More Manual Labor Next Year

Dean Mildred P. Sherman last night outlined Radcliffe's work program for next year at a compulsory meeting of Cabot, Whitman, and Eliot Hall residents in the Cabot Hall living room. The remaining dorms and affiliated houses will hear about the scheme at 7 p.m. tonight in the Cabot living room.

Students will have full care of their rooms in addition to an increased amount of waiting on table, pantry work, and bell duty. Maids will continue to take care of public rooms, bath rooms, and corridors. No girl will have to give up more than five hours per week toward the work program and the number of hours will probably run somewhat less in the larger halls.

Seek Cost Slash

Dean Sherman added that the purpose of the new work program is to keep living costs at the College as low as possible. Radcliffe, she said, faces a $27,500 deficit in its dormitory maintenance which the College is attempting to reduce through 1) the jump in room charges which will go into effect next fall, 2) the revamped work program, and 3) the usual profits from the operation of the dining halls.

Work chairmen will work out some plan of room inspection for the residences and further details as to the allocation of work hours during orientation week next fall.
