Author Says Nation.
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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
