All Thoughts Don't
Pass In The Night
We women often think lots of
things which we don't voice. To
night, however, our courage bol
stered by talk about women tak
ing their place in the world, we
venture a ,few opinions.
We wonder why a simple pro
cess like getting a book out of the
library has become such an in
volved, time-consuming proce
dure. Although inefficiency has
been charged•. and re-charged, no
body has ever done anything about•
it.
About 25 per cent of the time,
a much-needed book is. lost, mis
placed, or at the binders. This
informal on is secured only after
a long wait at the desk before
somebody casually wanders over
to inquire if you want something.
We understand that it would be
impossible to. get all books all the
time. But it would be nice if you
didn't have to wait quite so long
before finding out why you could
not have the book.
There has been talk the past
two years about the dalnger of
women's walking home alone at
night. 'if there are no available
escorts, coeds are told to call the
campus patrol. We agree that
coeds snould not wander about
late at night unescorted.
But we also think that calling
the campus patrol puts them to
unnecessary bother. It seems fair
ly obvious that a few more lights
on camuus would help eliminate
fear and enable coeds to walk
safely home from meetings which
don't last too late.
Paradrxically speaking, Ather
ton Hall is fireproof but it still
could burn. Yesterday, what might
have been a serious fire was
caused by the thoughtlessness' of
one person who neglected to ex
tinguisl, completely a cigarette.
Unlike most colleges, Penn State
does riot have smoking rooms lo
cated in inconvenient - sections of
dormitories. Instead, coeds are
given almost unlimited privileges:
We feel sure they appreciate,„the
convenience. We are equally sure
that they should begin to show
their appreciation by smoking
with a little more care.
There are wars, and campus
elections, abrid Senior Ball week
end, and a little less sugar, but
College students still think that
anybody who answers a professor
in more 'than a monosyllable is
"apple-Polishing."
That authentic apple-polishers
exist, we don't deny. We do deny,
however, that all students who
ask questions or enter class dis
cussions fall into this category.
It seems silly that most students
have a horrible fear of 'getting
what they are paying for—infor
mation PI)C1 education.

Sylvia P. Schmidle '42, will

sociation until May 1, it was de

itories.

Coeds Postpone
Marriage Plans
College women, because Of de
fense activities, have been forced
to postpone marriage . plans, ac
cording to a recent poll of the Stu
dent Opinion Surveys of America.
A national sampling revealed
that while -* a year ago, at least
half of • the college students hoped
to be married within two years
after graduation, today. only one
third- of them have the same ex
pectatiort.
Twenty per cent of the women
and eighteen per cent of the men
hoped t..; be. married within two
years after graduation, and seven
teen per cent women and thirteen
per cent men within one year.
Alth high coeds are eager to
marry sooner than men, hopes of
all students have diminished. Last
year, 22 per cent wanted to marry
within, a year 'after graduation;
there are now only 14 per cent
with the same desire.
Figures indicate that, contrary
to opinion, the draft did not create
a rush to the ,altar, at least among
college students. Last year one
per cent were married, and this
year the figure did not change.
Engagements, however, hdve in
creased. Ten per cent 'of the wo
men an seven per cent of the
men declared that they were en
gaged to be married. The sur
vey did not indicEtte whether these
students ,were "ringed" or "pin
ned," however.
Officers and pledges of Chi
Omaga were entertained at din
ner at the home of Mrs. F. W.
Haller last night.
