Needs Day-Dreamers Concentrated cramming with no time for day-dreaming seems to be the order. of the day, but not ac cording to Louis S. Laronge, author of the book, "Creative Selling." What this nation needs more of, is plain, everyday day-dreaming. Creative selling must be moti vated by more than the dollar sign, believes this qualified spokesman, insisting that a successful sales man must be able to envision work able ideas or what the people want Faced with the constant necess ity of bustling to make a living, continued Mr. Laronge, Americans are inclined to forget the value of day dreaming. He suggests that more Americans sit back and give themselves an opportunity to con ceive new ideas. "Iri these times of rapid change, each invention or im provement, every alteration in merchandising methods, changes in the arts, every governmental act of broad scope provides a myriad of opportunities for creative sell ing.

BUY DEFENSE STAMPS THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Bugle Ruled W., 5/te Women Coed War Life HoW would you like to be awak ened to the tune of reveille at, 5:45 a. m. and go to bed with the bugle blowing taps? That's what happened to coeds during the last war. College life at the outbreak of the first World War was ex treniely militaristic, as described by Miss Lucretia V. Simmons, act ing dean of women at the time, and Miss Julia G. Brill, freshman during • 1917, now assistant pro lessor of English Composition at Penn State. Under the command of Major James Baylies, the College became a training institution for hundreds of men stationed here to study en gineering and mineral industries. Fraternity houses' and other campus buildings were turned in to barracks, while the University Club was converted into a wo men's dormitory by the College. Early morning setting up ex ercises Were the mode: As re veille blew daily, coeds would grope their way to the windows of McAllister Hall, garbed in pa jamas and bathrobes, to watch the men go through their paces. It was the job of every. woman student to keep up soldier morale. No matter how tired, coeds were always prepared to put on min - strel shows or to attend dances any time Major Baylies requested. Special nursing, nutrition, and Red Cross courses were utilized when the influenza epidemic broke out in the fall of 1918. Only one nurse remained available for wo men as all other medical persons were called upon for array. serv ice. Senior home economics stud ents were organized to care for all sick coeds. One group would cook meals and carry them to wo men's 'dormitories, while other committees collected _and washed dishes. Several mess halls adjoined Mc- Allisber Hall dining commons where soldiers and coeds received the same food, and, added Miss Simmons, "the food was mostly a mess, too!" Thus, student 4 life went on cairn ly during the last war, proving that rumors about cods being sent home were false. Ode; Worn en White Dominant In Coed Wardrobe Coeds throughout the country are adorning their wardrobes with white this .winter. White flannel skirts with brightly solid-colored sweaters are in evidence with square or round necks, while some women are sporting white jackets with plaid or solid skirts. Dry cleaners must be grateful for the cloth coats which have been. shown in lighter colors this season. The white rubber boot is still definitely in, along with white wool dresses. Since white is tops in fashion, today's coed even reticles in . a snowy nightshirt resembling those "grampa used to wear." To top it all off is a night cap for pro tection against winter drafts. Dußois Coed Made College Club Head Jane Newmeyer, freshman at Dußois Center, recently was elect ed president of the College Girls' Club of PittSburgh. At the initial meeting of the group Lillian Gish, actress, was guest of honor. The club has a membership re presenting Carnegie Institute of Technology, University of Pitts burgh, Mt. Mercy College, and Pennsylvania College for Women. Rides Wanted RW—Lancaster. Leave Satur day morning. Call Ressler, 771. Random Notes . . . Penned At 2:30 A. M. There must be a solution—but who can find it? We, the coeds, are asked to con serve electricity. With four final bluebooks a day every day, it's more thari a probleiri. We, the coeds, are requested to save our nickles for various and sundry drives. We beg forgive ness for bUying cokes to relieve that depleted 'feeling after four straight hours of comprehensive exams. We, the coeds , are urged to do nate cigarettes to army camps. Again we ask forbearance for smoking like stoves to keep our eyes open in the wee hours of the a. m,_ We're told it's wasteful to have eyes bigger than tummies. But who can be blamed when stewed tomatoes and shredded cabbage appear—not to mention the twice a-day bunny food. Truly, it is perplexing. Who the hell started this mess anyhow? Please, profs, and all others concerned with the above—hold off the slaughter till we've gath ered enough strength to withstand it. P. S. We know it could ire. worse. Men Tell Tip To The Temptress Straight from the country's most eligible bachelors come tips" "to temptresses on hoW - not to taka "a short cut to the altar. Marriage for love-is still poten tially hubby's plea to women 'with wiles. Substituting any man for the man doesn't work just because he's there when. you want him. Another complaint is based upon women's inability to make up her mind about anything including a man. Hang on to swains .and for get the red-hot rivet brush-off technique when another pair of trousers comes into view. • Selectees have ttfeir problems. When . the urge comes for matri-, mony most men grab their guns to bag a Jap, -- not a gal with marriage on her mind. Bachelor girls by the horde's are storming the single men's ranks while bachelor men suggest it might be because earning bread and butter is becbrning too routine. As England's poet laureate Tennyson spoke "Man is the hun ter, woman the pursued." His words reflect the weight of the Victorian era on twentieth century love life Men demand.
