Footsteps echoing across the campus, a place for all in the un usual—an exaggerated picture of State College on a big weekend away from college. More than 3,000 students cheer ed their football team at tire rally Thursday night. Then the cam pus bustled with activity. It was all part of pre-game spirit. Today, activity will seem duller than ever. Most of these en thusiastic supporter's migrated westward yesterdfjy. More will leave today. Seemingly the cam pus will be void of spirit. Pittsburgh will be the hub of activity. Penn State rooters will disregard the soot and dust and yell for their team. Back here, we’ll miss the excite ment and probably feel sorry for ourselves. But too much time is wasted on self-sympathy. There is a term on campus that is just as deserving of our sup port. We could use our energy in cheering the soccer team in its game today.

THE DAILY. COLLEGIAN Necessary For Defense Work Women Vital In Defense Jobs Women are playing a new part in the nation’s defense —the part of labor in defense industries. Women, according to federal reports, are helping to build Army and Navy dive bombers, high ex plosive shell fuses in government arsenals, and millions of rounds of machine gun and small arms ammunitions. Aircraft engine plants find women indispensible for inspecting and assembling in tricate electrical instrument parts. Other jobs utilizing the femi nine touch are aircraft factories where women cover oil lines, up holster pilot headrests, and spray paint. Hundreds of skilled wom en workers produce time fuses. Government reports reveal that ■‘the number of women in arms and .'ammunition plants reaches nearly 30,000, in aviation industries 8,000, and at least 5,000 in government arsenals. Government officials feel that the day is near when male labor shortage will necessitate many more women in defense industry jobs. Government statistics show that a reserve of nearly 2,000,000 women ■ are available for defense industries.

Monday and from 8 to 12 a. m. Tuesday. / Weekly exhibits, open to the public, provide vital information concerning vitamin food sources and dietary requirements. Thitmin, or "Vitamin B-l, has become known as the morale vita min due to its relationship to efficiency, attitude, and facility. Because thiamin is present in no one food in large amounts the problem of B-l foods is great. It has been estimated that one-third of the U.
