Frosh Rules
Chaves in freshman women's
customs as they will appear in
next semester's handbook, were
•announ;.ed by Jeanne C. Stiles '42,
WSGA Judicial chairman, last
night.
A first semester change states
that for the first two months fol
lowing the three-week no-dating
Period. freshman women may
have three dates per weekend,
Friday and Saturday nights and
Sunday until 5 p. m. Two one
o'clock permissions will be 'grant
ed each month, to be taken either
Friday or Saturday nights. Oth
er dates will end at 11 p. in.
The original rule allowed for
a one o'clock, a ten o'clock, and a
Sunday date until 5:30 p. m. each
weekend for the full . semester.
The new regulation was incor
porated because second-semester
rules will be lighter.

freshmen must be in their dormi
tories at 10 p. m. instead of 9 p. in.
They will be permitted to associ
ate with men off campus during
the day.

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

not been scheduled to appeair in

ever, the film corporation's option
makes it necessary for him to re

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

Defense Head Reports U. S.
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.

associate director of the Westmin
ster F'oundation and Harry W. Sea
mans, general secretary of PSCA,

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.
The rushing committee will meet
Sunday to begin formulating a ten
tative code which will be discussed
at Panhel's meeting on Tuesday.
Committee members include Jean
A. Krauser '42, V. Dorothy Rad
