Bang-Up Open House
Planned For Tuesday
"The great majority of sorori
ties will not pledge (women with
an average below 'l'," reminded
Harriet Singer '4l, Panhellenic
president. in a statement to the
Daily Collegian last night.
"Since most freshmen do not
realize the importance of their
grades in conjunction with sorority
rushing and pledging until too
late." she said, "it has been brought
to their attention."
The last Open House scheduled
from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday is set
to be a bang-up affair, she added,
and a . 1.1 freshmen and - transfers
should make the most of their last
opportunity to get acquainted with
sorority women.

room visiting, 'basketball games,
and "dutch treat" dating permit
ted. However, after vacation until
noGn of the first day of second

Christmas Drive
Goal Set By WSGA
Twenty-rive cents from every
woman student is the goal set by
WSGA in its annual Christmas
Fund Drive in an effort to surpass
last year's $196.25 mark. Proceeds
from the drive will be distributed
among the Mifflin County Chil
dren's Aid Society. American Wo
men's Hospitals, and Mrs. Hetzel's
Fund.
Located at Lewistown. the 'Chil
dren's Aid Society assists children
adopted into families unable to
provide more than bare necessities
of life. Contributions from the Col
lege coeds provide toys, clothing,
and a little spending money.
The American Women's Hospit
als aids in relief of suffering among
civilian population during war.
Disease prevention, child health,
and maternity work are phases of
home work conducted in Southern
Highlands. This society lacks en-.
dowment and depends upon con
tributions.
Helping students meet emergen
cies is the work of (Mrs. Hetzel's
committee. This group depends en
tirely upon gifts to render aid.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
We, The Women—
It's Almost Christmas
Somewhere In England
The Pope issued a plea for a
4s-hour armistice over Christmas.
The plea awoke many thoughts
as to what Christmas must be like
over there. Can men go on be
lieving in something fine and de
cent while they go on killing and
dropping bombs on others who
are men too?
Can they see blood on the
ground and long for plum pud
ding and roast turkey? Can they
forget the hate and blood and
killing for two days and remem
ber the days over a year - ago
when there were prospects of a
peaceful yuletide?
Can they light Christmas trees
and theri black them out after
48 hours?
Can they manufacture toy guns
and soldiers and present them to
their sons without tearing their
souls out? Can they give dolls
to their little . daughters and for
get the little girls whose dads will
never come back?
Can the sound of carols drown
out the screams of agony and roar
of bombs and tanks?
Can a man forget those things
for 48 hours and then go back to
killing and hating? If he did go
home, would he be happier and
more willing to return to "some
where in England?"
Some think they could forget
and be happy for two days.
Some think if it could end for
two days it could end forever.
