Coed Tr• ~ avels
For Degree
If coeds complain about car
rying heavy schedules, here is a
story of real work. It concerns a
woman who is married, has the
responsibility of keeping house,
gets out of bed at 4:50 a.m. Mon
day through Saturday, and travels
174 miles each day—to get a
bachelor of arts degree.
Mrs. Zoie Odom Newsome, of
Snyder, Texas, figured that she
will have traveled a distance
equal to two round fhb world
trips- 7 -or 50,130 miles after grad
uation.
Stimulus keeping Mrs. New
some so persistently at her goal
is her lawyer husband. She at
tends the Texas Technological
College at Lubbock, and is carry
ing 18 credits this semester.
After cooking breakfast and
completing household duties, Mrs.
Newsome catches the 6:03 train
for Lubbock. Her homework
problem is solved by four hours
a day spent on the train and no
classes three afternoons a week.
The 4:10 train out of Lubbock
gets her home at 6: 10, in time to
prepare dinner. Mrs. Newsome re
laxes on Sundays and on school
holidays.
Stamp Sale Yields S2O
Approximately ss2o worth of
defense stamps have been sold

for defense, announced Alice M.
Murray '42, president,h - 4 st night.
Stamps will be on sale in McAl
lister and Frances Atherton Halls
after dinner, every Tuesday and
Thursday.
TEE DAILY COLLEGIAN
y csn,
Wel Jlte Women
Cheering Crowd Greets Coed Queen
Candidates In Their Initial Bow
Lights blared, row G of the bal
cony was dusted in preparation
. . . the clock ticked on. Second
by second the hands sped to the
zero hour. The gavel banged . . .
nominations for Senior Queen are
now open!
The mob howled, finally sub
sided.. Minutes ticked on. One
nomina ion was made. Nomina
tions closed. Time to go home.
The 40 coeds in the audience
stumbled through the crowd to
join the movie rush.
Several reasons may be offered
for the overwhelming attendance.
First, coeds may be satisfied with
nominations made by the comniit
tee. Second, many competing fac
tors entered such as "Dumbo" and
classes.
- Most logical is that coeds lack
the enthusiasm, initiative, demo
cracy, cooperation, and loyalty to
make good college citizens.
Even if the nominees pleased
everyone, coeds still can not an
swer• truthfully that they knew
them all. And part of the meet
ing was to introduce them.
Evidently the' rest of . the 1,350
.are content to let 40 coeds hold
the reins. And that essentially
is where all forms of democracy
Germany Is No Place For Coeds;
Elliott Tells Of Manless Society
Coeds may rejoice that they
don't live in Germany, for accord
ing to Roland Elliott, national ex
ecutive secretary of the Student
Christian Association, "Germany
today has a manless society."
"There is a premium on men in
their social life," he remarked in
an interview yesterday, "for they
are all in the army."
With only old persons and chil
dren lett at home, German women
must carry on the work, supplant
ing men in industry and in the
fields, said Mr. Elliott. He doubt
ed, however, that there were any
women in the fighting forces.
While in Germany recently, he
interviewed many women on the
existing conditions. One woman
told him, "Women are just people;
nothing is happening to them.
They are like pioneer women,
though, carrying such responsibil
ity. They are acting as workers
and not as wives."
"It takes more time for women
to do everything than it did be
fore the war," Mr. Elliott • com
mented. "Shopping takes them
five times as long as previously;
they Must stand in line for hours
to get food."
Mr. Elliott told of the women
brought from - Norway and • Den
mark to work in Germany. They
are "recruited" into a women's
working company. In Germany
they are treated on an inferior so=
cial standard, guided by a differ
ent moral code.
"Everything is grist to the war
mill now," said Mr. Elliott. "Edu
cation, pleasures, 'and necessities
have all been forfeited in the face
of war."

Perhaps we are putting too
much emphasis on this one inci
dent. However, mass meetings
for WSGA and WRA elections will
be coming •soon. Will women be
content to perch on their haunches
and let 40 take advantage of pre
senting their choices for leader

Steps were taken last eyar to
bring all 'coeds to such meetings.
A compulsory meeting was called.
Penalty for non-attendance was

U. S. Calls-For
50,000 Nurses
In response to the government's
need for .50,000 well qualified, stu
dents to enter nursing schools, the
NuPsing Council on National De
fense is attempting to make col
lege women conscious of services
to their country 'by answering this
demand.
From New York to California
there are 29 schools of nursing
connected with colleges and uni
versities which now offer under
grkduate programs leading to both
a diploma and degree in nursing.
These schools are adapted to fit
undergraduate students to work
at their own educational level.
This system insures more rapid
progress and students are able to
accept responsible positions in
nursing fields.
For those who wish to complete
college educations and make nurs
ing their career, there are two
graduate schools of nursing at
Western Reserve University in
Cleveland, Ohio and Yale• Unive
rsity in New Haven, Conn. Twen
ty of these schools offer loans or
scholarships, or both.
Women interested may contact
Jeanne C. Stiles '42 at the Kappa
