BUY DEFENSE STAMPS We, ✓fie Women Aw, C'mon Let's Be Good You may stop reading right here—if you voted at Senior Queen elections last week. If you did, you're a good little coed and you'll probably turn out for WSGA-WRA elections next week—unless none of your sorority sisters are run ning fog• offices. Of course, you may nominate one of your "sisters" from the floor at the women's mass meet ing in the auditorium Wednesday night. Or you may bribe one of them to nominate you if you're enough interested in student gov ernment. .Isn't that nice and dem ocratic? Then there's the Independent woman's angle. We're trying to get this "democracy" idea across. You independents may get in there and sling in a couple of your colleagues as candidates, just to burn up the sorority women. We have a point here. You see, only 300 coeds turned out for Sen ior Queen elections, and we think it would be an awful sock in dem ocracy's ego if the. =tie thing happened at next week's elections. Women are becoming pretty powerful little bugs around here, what with men joining the army and navy and a coed taking over All-Colietze elections. If this draft keeps up, heaven knows how much power coeds will get. So if you think you can spare a few minutes of your time to enjoy your democratic privileges, how about turning up at the mass meeting and polls next week? In other words, for pete's sake, vote! Coeds Will Dance As Club Guests Coeds of northwest, Atherton Hall, are invited to a dance given by members of the Penn State Club in the unit •at 9 o'clock tonight, Marie E.

James, who will conclude an engagement at the Meadowbrook in New Jersey on March 26, had not been scheduled to appeair in Hollywood until April 3. How ever, the film corporation's option makes it necessary for him to re port several days in advance. In an earlier vote, IFC had de cided by a slim margin, to . change the date of IF Ball to April 10 and to sign Charlie Barnett, on, whom it also holds an option. Permission had been obtained from the Stu dent Union Board to make this date change if necessary. Owing to diss3ntion to this proposal by a large minority of fraternities, however, a revote was conducted after discussion, which resulted in leaving the date at March 27 and deciding on Lopez: BUY DEFENSE STAMPS AND BONDS LOST-31up Pamker pen, initials L.

Needs Women For Victory With science and health as key notes to victory, trained women are needed to replace men in home de fense obs, according to Mrs. Ra leigh .Gilchrist, national Mortar Board defense committee chair man. Behind the pilot, a long line of workers must manufacture daily the 20,000 parts to a bomber be sides the engine. "Increased use of airplanes, radios, and tanks has Changed war from a mass of marching men to a steadily grow ing army of factory mechanics and assembling crews," she said. Shortage of men trained in math ematics and physics demands more women to serve in factories and ordnance plants as draftsmen, in spectors, and scientific aids, Mrs. Gilchrist reported. Following war destruction, epi demic threats must be conquered— cholera, dysentery, and typhus. Ur gent calls for doctors, nurses, den tists, nurses aides, dieticians, and cooks must be anwered. In the scientific field of mathe matics and background • the army has asked Civil Service for 200 college women (later to increase to 1,000) who have had at least three years of college to work as scien tific aides, inspectors, and drafts men in ordnance plants. The navy and private concerns are making the same requests. College defense training courses are 'being offered in order for women to qualify. Mrs. Gilcrist declared that for women interested in medical tech nician - fields, openings are offered in laboratory work including Work such as,blood tests and urine analy sis. Coeds may qtialify_in their last year of college, she said. Med ical courses are being.concentrated in order to turn out more doctors and dentists for civilian defense. Various types of jobs are -a-Vail able in radio fields—radio machine workers, air craft spotters, and coast defenders to give firing or ders. "Desperate pleas for nursing must be satisfied," stated Mrs. Gil- christ. At some universities .an R. N. degree can be secured with an A. B. in five years. To assist in hospitals, 10,000 nurse aides ranging in age from 20 to 50 years are needed. Red Cross training requires 150 hours of voluntary service in a year. Because of social adjustment problems arising in defense areas, factories and dormitories are press ed for personnel workers. Panhel Aims To Cut Rush Expenses; May Start Preferential Balloting Outstanding aim of Panhellenic Council in formulating its new rushing code will be reduction of expenses, in keeping with the na tional program, explained Frances E. Haley '43, Council president. A - cross-section of 30 sorority women, including pledge presidents and rushing chairmen, met last night to criticize the, old code and offer suggestions for a new one, which will regulate association over three semesters. • Although no definite action was taken, majority of the panel parti cipants agreed that formal dinners are disproportionately expensive. It was suggested that a formal tea be substituted. Another suggestion for cutting expenses was to discard party favors. For National Defense ...

'44 will preside, assisted by Clifford M. Painter '44. Miss lone Sikes, associate director of the Westmin ster F'oundation and Harry W. Sea mans, general secretary of PSCA, will lead discussion groups. Because both upperclass and freshman women requested it, Miss Haley said that the rushing com mittee will atempt to work out a system of preferential balloting for the period before formal bidding. Representatives discussed the possibility of first semester rush ing, but agreed an inherent diiad vantage of this system would be the impossibility of obtaining freshmen averages before.pledging.

Dorothy Rad cliff '42, Miss Haley, Polly Insley Phillips '43, Pauline E. Keller '44.
