TVe, slte Women
Defense Work Needs
Coed Cooperation
Beginning Monday coeds moy
demonstrate their desire to help
the country through WSGA House
of Representatives' "Defense
Week" to promote national con
servation.
Thus far coeds have contributed
to the several defense enterprises
half-heartedly, begrudgingly. And
r.&though women's organizations
have wanted to help, they .have
been ' hindered by individual
sluggishness.
An example of inertia has been
shown in the call for coed blood
donations which netted practical
ly a nil response. The campaign's
success depends upon 500 volun
teers to bring a Red Cross unit to
the campus. Most of us can af
ford to part with one-half pint
which may mean salvation to
hundreds of soldiers.
Bigger and better proposals for
further coed defense work were,
suggested at the recent meeting of
the coed coordinating committee
on defense. Donating. corsage mon
ey to the country, promoting en
gineering courses for Liberal Arts
women, sending magazines to
Pennsylvania army camps evolved
from the maze of new ideas to
put Penn State coeds back on their
defense feet.
But Olese suggestions must be
studied, examined in all lights be
fore. adoption by women leaders.
The possibilities of such proposi
tions are limitless. However, co
ed cooperation in present defense
work, and campus-wide enthusi
asm must prevail first before new
work is undertaken.
Treating Blood Donations -

State campus.
Maybe all this talk of blood
just needs publicity of a lighter
vein. After all, what's there to
taking a little shot on the arm,
having it "flow through here and
corm, out there" to make a new
man of some bomb-dodger or poor
draftee on KP who loses his blood,
and so forth at, the

Just how should one prepare
for a donation? The Red Cross
tells us to drink orange juice and
munch plain crackers, but that
doesn't get at the heart of the
problem.
Our idea is to take a long swig
of tomato juice, cause• after

Badminton Most
Popular Activity
The "White Hall Watch Bird's"
poster efforts were rewarded last
night when about 115 coeds par
ticipated in the new White Hall
program•organized by 60 physical
education majors last week.
With instruction from majors,
badminton was the most popular
activity. Coeds waited in line
for use of three courts in both
gymnasium and Body Mechanics
Room.
Almost everyone swam, and
many • participated in volleyball,
basketball shooting practice, and
bowling. Four ping pong and two
bridge tables were in use, with
social dancing to victrola music
in the lobby:
Most coeds took advantage of
coffee and doughnuts offered for
five cents. - Some went to White
Hall before dates.
To increase use of White Hall
during the week, physical educa
tion majors - will post hours for
swimming, badminton, and ping
pong in all dormitories next week.
In addition, the- dance club is
considering organization of a folk
dance group,' open to all coeds as
a chance to learn new steps.
