purpose of the conference is to
.foster closer relations between
high schools and colleges, said
Miss Ray.
Mrs. E. W. Zoller, faculty mem
ber of Dußois undergraduate cen
ter, will conduct discussions. Miss
Ray thinks it is probable that a
phase of the conference will turn
to discussing the advantages of
high school students attending the
•Summer semester.
Miss Mary Jane Wyland, asso
ciate professor of education at the
College, is supervisor of the affair.

REMINDS COEDS— Marjorie L.

mittee chairman, reminds coeds
tliat hours for Junior Prom Week
end are 3 o’clock tonight, 2
o’clock tomorrow night, and 10
p. m. Sunday.
We, JL Women
You’ve Got It, Kids-
Take Care Of It
Okay, coeds. You have your 11
o’clock permissions now. Are ya
happy?
We are. And we’re grateful to
WSGA Senate for letting us watch
the sun go down this Summer.
Penn State’s Summer sunsets are
awfully pretty.
In case there are those who have
been stewing about this action for
weeks on end, Senate had the idea
months ago, but just didn’t take
action til this week.
Our only hope is that coeds
won’t take advantage of this new
privilege by breaking rules We
trust that they’ll remember the
reason for its instigation—defense^
It’s going to be tough, on a
pleasant Summer evening, to say,
“No, gotta get in by 11.” It’s going
to be even tougher to get in before
that. But for the sake of every
one’s health and grades and de
fense, we think coeds ought to co
operate with WSGA not only by
getting in on time, but by getting
in before 11 whenever they can.
Yeah, we know it’s futile to say
such a thing. We’ll probably be
getting in at the last possible mo
ment ourselves, but it’s a good, pa
triotic thought, and there’s noth
ing wrong with good intentions.
Or is there? K.M.P.

from the Office of Education; the
deans of technological colleges
have started to urge anew every
last man within their curricula
who has indicated that he will not
enroll for the Summer semester to
reconsider his decision to see
whether or not some special pro
vision, heretofore overlooked/
might not be worked, out to enable
him to remain in college continu
ously until he completes his
course.
The U. S. Office of Education
has also urged that each engineer
ing school expand its previous ac
ceptance of freshmen by'about a
third. ,Students who know high
school seniors about to graduate
are urged to impress the need for
interest and an aptitude in these
engineers upon those who show an
