Home Eccers Say
Little Things Count
By practicing what they preach,
Ellen H. Richards, jpnior home
economics honorary, is saving the
little things for defense.
Giving the faucet that extra
push, saving a toothpaste tube,
and writing on both sides of the
paper are examples that help in
sure future necessities.
With "don't thrOw anything
away without counting 10" as a
motto, club members we using
pencil stubs, cottons instead of
silks, and drinking "the last drop"
to avoid waste.
Coeds are urged when they see
a pin to pick it up by Ellen H.
Richards defense committee. Com
mittee members are M. Jane
Berkebile, Mildred Friedman,
Audrey H. Hackman, and Selma
Solomon ; juniors.
Webster, WRA
Define Valentine
According to Webster, a Valen
tine is "a printed missive of an
amatory or satirical kind, generally
sent through the mails anonymous
ly."
But as far as WRA is
. concerned,
a Valentine is a ticket to their an
nual Sweetheart Dance, and there's
nothing anonymous about it. .All a
toed has to do is walk up to Stu
dent Union, slap $l.lO on the desk,
and take her man to White Hall
tonight from 9 . p. in. to 12 midnight.
There will be a ten-cent charge
for checking coats, and the dance
will be formal for both men and
women. Since smoking is not per
mitted in White Hall, "sweet
hearts" have 'been asked to comply
with regulations.
The Campus Owls will play. Dec
orations will be highlighted by a
lacey heart at the tenter of the
wall, with Betty Coed and The Col
lege in the center. - '

But Janitor Stays Immon,'
By EDITH L. SMITH
Coeds come . and coeds go, but
they , are all alike to Cyrus Confer,
Grange dormitory janitor. •
For 23 years Mr. Confer has tid
ied up lounges, emptied waste bas
kets, and mopped floors for - women
coming and going in Mac Hall and
then in Grange.
"They're all about the same," lie
said, attacking an overstuffed
chair with . a vacuum sweeper.
"About the only change I notice
is that back in 'l9 I could count the
smoking girls on one hand, now
they all smoke." •
In 1919 when Mr. Confer started
to work in Mac Hall, the building
housed both 'freshmen and upper
class women. Many seniors 'resid
ed in Women's Building.
"Freshmen really took a hazing
then," he rubbed.his chin thought
fully a moment. "I can remember
when they had to carry umbrellas
whether it was raining or not."
Mr. Confer's days in Grange be
gan before final 'touches had been
putnn wall plastering. He groaned
as he recalled days when white

As a witness to the effects of
first World War aftermaths upon ;
coeds, Mr. Confer remarked that
many familiar faces disappeared
from Mac Hall during that time.
"Some came back in a month or;
two, others I never saw again," he
murmured softly. "Lots moved

save money." s -
