JTarm Skm Improves Perfumed Glamour Coeds—put your perfume on your skin, not your clothes. This advice comes from Dr. Charles R. Phillips, textile chem istry instructor. Based on work in the College drycleaning research laboratory, Dr. Phillips found that placing perfume on clothes is not only bad form and bad grooming, but also stains and damages garments. “Perfume on a textile fabric be comes stale and the odor changes,” reports the chemist. “No carefulv groomed woman should allow her garments to become saturated with this dull staie odor, which can be brought out by the pres ence of moisture months after it has been applied.” Pointing out that most perfumes are made to perform best on a wtr.rm skin rather than a cold fabric, Dr. Phillips warned that perfumes contain substances which turn brown and stain textile fab rics, and that their bases can ac tually damage cellulose acetate rayon. Rides Wanted THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Soldiers To Receive Greetings Via Coeds “Keep ’em writing” is the' lat est slogan being circulated around campus to promote campaigning for coeds to write to Penn State men in armed forces. Daniel C. Gillespie ’44, PSCA project chairman, and Dorothy L. Shew ’42, vice-chairman, announ ced that 600 former students’ names from classes of ’3B to ’44 have been divided among dormi tories and sorority houses. Names are posted on bulletin boards for coeds to select, then cross off. The committtee request ed that coeds who havte selected names should write immediately so that letters will be received during the Christmas seqson. Magazines and books, which will be sent to USO centers adjacent to camps where Penn State men are stationed, are being collected from State College residents and faculty who wish to*contribute. Ardery Asks Coeds’ Help Col- Edward D. Ardery,. head of the department of military science and tactics, urged women to take advantage of their strate gic position and counsel calm ness to men students. “Women are supposed to be the weaker sex, but if a woman could drive a man to drink, she prob ably could drive him to war. Men lean on women for advice —or at least to listen to their suggestions,” he said. He pointed out that coeds should help men to make a calm and logical appraisal of the sit uation and consider all factors before making a decision, instead of urging men to enlist because they like uniforms. “Because so.me women have al ways looked up to men in uni forms, they may goad men into enlisting when they would be of more value here in College,” con tinued Colonel Ardery. “They should, what we in the mili tary game call, make an esti mate of the situation.’.’ Women Turn Barbers Because of the induction of so FOR SALE __ Ranger ice hocke v ™ " irito^ h ® a . 1 t m^;. t !? e bar ' skates.

Hospital patients looked from their beds on Christmas morn, saw nothing to tell them that the joyous time had arrived . . . Students like ourselves needed extra money to get home for the holidays or pay their room and board. But they couldn’t find it . . . There is a way we can help these people hawe more festive holidays, a way we can share our fortune. It is a way that will make us happier and those we help sure that there is a Santa. The. WSGA Christrrids drive is still in progress. Proceeds from this drive will be distributed to Mifflin County Child Welfare So ciety, American Women’s Hos pitals, and Mrs. Hetzel’s Emerg ency Fund for students. If we all contribute to the drive, it will spread the Yuletide spirit. ■ It doesn’t mean much to us to forget a couple of cokes. It means a lot to others*. WSGA is to be complimented on its/foresight in establishing courses to instruct coeds in de fense methods long before the first bomb burst. It hasn’t taken long for the Col-' lege to setup defense courses for students that will be useful to them in their respective commun ities. The Administration answered the requests of students for these courses, a program so extensive and inclusive that we should all recognize its merits.
