Pledges, of the honorary pre sented a skit as a take-off on wo men in journalism, with the main scene held in “Rats-in-the-Cel lair,” where reporters from “The Daily Boos” convened to talk over the day’s work. Miss Laura Lou Brookman, as sistant editor of “The Ladies’ Home Journal,” spoke on “How America Lives.” Her speech was taken from a series of articles in “The Ladies’ Home Journal.” She said that collectively coeds in the United States spend 75 mil lion dollars yearly for wardrobes. “Thirty-one per cent of the men prefer blonds,”' she stated. “One’s hair grows more quickly in the summer than in the winter, in the day than at night, and in warm climates then in cold ones.” College Draft Policy Unaltered (Continued from Page One) ahead with his normal life until his exact status is known,” he said. Major Cleveland, who came to the College about two weeks ago, urged students to consult their lo cal draft boards for definite infor mation concerning the possibility of deferments. He said that to the best of his knowledge local boards will follow the same policy in regard to occu pational deferments until they get definite instructions from state or national headquarters. iMr. Morse said that students should not enroll in college if they know they will probably be called before the middle of the next semester. He also asked students to consult their local boards. He pointed out. that there is a draft committee in each school on the campus and that these com mittees are prepared to help stu dents with individual problems. _ •Chairmen of these school com mittees are as follows: Agriculture, 'Dr. J. Ben Hill; Chemistry and Physics, Dean Frank C. Whitmore; Education, Dr. Clifford C. Adams; Engineering, Charles L. Kinsloe; Liberal Arts, Dean Charles W. Stoddart; Miner al Industries, John W.

CLEAN NEAT CLONES PENN STATE LAUNDRY 320 W. Beaver Ave. ~ Dial 3261 f \AJe lAJomen Our Chins Will Be Definitely ‘Up’ It’s too late now. Anti-war and isolationist editorials are de finitely a thing of the phst. Re membering that “England expects every American to do his duty,” that even Senator Wheeler and the Chicago Tribune cry, “All out for America,” that Eleanor Roosevelt asks us to be brave, we women will fall into our usual war-time role. Sunday night coeds sat huddled together listening to radio reports and speculating what all this will mean to us. We gulped our lunch yesterday to listen to the presi dent’s speech. We went to classes and did assignments feeling that it was wrong to continue the old routine. Because there is no al ternative, we will be building a new routine for our lives. We will kiss the boys goodby with a smile; we’ll knit and make Red Cross bandages; we’ll write every day and send boxes of food and cigarettes. We’ll, do more than that—we’ll learn how to work in factories, drive ambu lances, and maybe even how to kill people. Our chins, though trembling, will be strictly “up.” We’ll do all this not because we want to, not because we hate the Japs, not because we like ex citement and the glory of war. We’ll do it i because we want to make it as easy as possible for the boys who will be leaving. There’s something else we can do too—not for the' boys who will fight this war, but for the ones who twenty or thirty ye firs from now will have to fight another one, unless we start now to pre vent it. We can keep our com mon sense, our inherent hatred of destruction. 'We can keep our selves well informed and draw our own conclusions as to the value of killing thousands of men to avenge the loss of a few islands ahd several hundred lives. We can consider solutions for the problem when it arises again. We will do our duty, of course; but let us do it intelligently and with no hysterical patriotism. Perhaps if we are practical enough, we ‘can avoid sending our sons into the, third world war a couple of. decades from now. Theta Chi- will entertain Chi Omega, at dinner tonight.

He added, however, that changes, might be made if conduct does not stay within normal bounds. He revealed that there is no chance 'that another Students’ Army Training Corps will be es tablished on the campus. In the first World War, he said, theSATC was unsuccessful.
