Senate Acts On
Action was taken on women’s
rules, a two o'clock permission
granted for a special movie, a
committee announced for trans
fer orientation, and the date
changed for Junior-Senior recep
tion at WSGA meeting last night.
In co-operation with Interfra
tnraity Council, WSGA Senate
has requested that women stu
dents take a critical attitude to
ward their conduct Interfrater
)iity weekend, April 4-6.
On a recommendation from
WSGA Judicial Committee, pen
alties for failure to sign in and
out were increased from one to
two blackmarks.
Over IF weekend, women are
asked to report directly to their
> oorns after they sign in- and not
visit other rooms. Dormitory
guests are to observe the same
regulations as coeds.
Two o’clock permissions have
been granted women students
attending the midnight show Fri
day for the Greek War Relief So
ciety. Coeds should indicate
they are attending the show
when they sign out and .are to
present the ticket stub with their
names on the back to the check
ers when they sign in.
House of Representatives re
ported appointment of a transfer
orientation committee for next
year. Acting under Anna L.
Carey ’42, chairman, will be
Katherine A. Loresch ’42 and
Marion E. Sperling ’42 with Ma
tilda A. Bentley, assistant to the
dean of women, as advisor.
Tuesday, April 29 has been set
for the Junior-Senior faculty re
ception. The original date Wed
nesday, April 30, conflicted with
that scheduled for the annual
)'.'mhellenic Sing.
(Continued from Page One)
purposes outlined above is one
of a very few active attempts be
ing made to .help students con
itnua-their education while in the
Army.
Ever since educators first 'began
1o consider the effect of the draft
on college enrollment one of the
biggest questions has been: Will
students return to college after
serving a year in the Army? .By
encouraging draftees not to let
education lapse altogether, the
University of Dayton seems to
Diave provided one of the best
answers yet found.
Another point in the Dayton
I’lan is to urge local boards to
consider granting occupational
deferment when students are first
classified. This is in contrast to
liie usual policy of giving all stu
dents blanket deferment until
duly t. The Dayton Plan seems
1o be the better: it lessens neces
sary re-classification and simpli
fies the entire procedure.
You may wonder why other
colleges, including Penn State,
haven’t adopted the Dayton Plan.
The reason is that it is suitable
only for small colleges. Dayton,
has about 700 students. Penn
State has nearly 7,000.
However, Penn State has sev
eral draft committees—a central
group and one in each school—
•which help student draft regis
trants,as much as possible. These
committees have essentially the
i.ame purposes as the Dayton
committee but, unfortunately, the
size of the College makes a de
tailed program impossible.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
We, The Women
American College
Credos
Occasionally an English comp
professor runs across a composi
tion which contains some orig
inality and shows ability to
write. From one of few such ex
amples, we quote the following:
AMERICANS BELIEVE:
1. That all college students
have stickers on their suitcases
and wear porkpies.
2. That all college students
have one-cell batteries instead of
brains. •
3. That all coeds are spoiled
darlings, and that those who
work their way through school
are really debutantes in disguise.
4. That all college professors
have long beards and are absent
minded.
S, That all college freshmen
are green when they enter the
university and that four years of
school makes them red.
6, That the typical college
student years a dink, horn
rimmed glasses, and a raccoon
coat that is too big for him, and
carries a pennant to football
games.
7. That all college queens are
pretty.
8. Thai everybody (with per
haps the exception of the faculty)
goes to the dogs in college.
9. Thai students who study are
set apart by their fellows as peo
ple who are rare and not quite
no anal
10.
That college administra
tions are clean, upright, and 100
per cent for the students.
11. Thai campus big shots are
handsome and popular.
12. Thai there are lovers lanes
and trysting places all over a
college campus.
131 Thai coeds bury their sad
dles tor about two months before
the opetiing of the fall term in
order to achieve that fashionable
■‘aged in the dust bowl” appear
ance.
14. That the era of flaming
youth is past and that today’s
sober generation has graduated
to higher things like goldfish
swallowing.
15, That fraternities and sor
orities are places where the
brothers, and sisters aid each
other to climb in and out of win
dows after hours.
