Women Take Over Men's D Women Take Over, Put Daily Collegian To Bed Issue Initiates Coming Regime t By LOUISE M. FUOSS Women's Editor ' Traditionally, this colutrin in the women's issue is devoted to a dec laration of one day's independence, interspersed with tales of the in cessant fight • over space. • Although we like to admit that any good Daily Collegian woman sees that her story. gets pfinted by methods as diversified as •dating the editor or kicking his shins, we feel that any statement of inde pendence would be out of place at this time. .The time we referred to is not merely this issue with its light hearted parodies but the tomor rows when this nation will still be at war. Underneath our silliness is a serious realization that women will be filling men's places—not just for a day but for the duration or longer. Already women, recognizing their new power and responsibili tieS, have become more indepen dent,.both in action and in thought. For example, in • this issue we are poking• fun at the current cam paign aaginst mixed drinking. We are deginitely opposed' to drunkeness and disorderly con duct. But we must recognize that some students will drink, regard less of rules and penalties. Consequently, we• see no point in these periodic drives against mixed drinking. 'We' think •it's harmful to insinuate - to.the general public 'in glaring' 'headlines that Penn State students axe . a bunch of drunks. Since drinking is universal, the sensible thing would - be to make rules requiring able chaperons, ac tually report and punish violators, and quit kidding ourselves that stirring up an annual fuss does any real good. .

Zukauskas '43 as he acted as chairman at a smoker held for freshman candidates for Collegian editorial and business staffs held at the Delta Chi barn last night. "No longer will women be con fined to covering tea parties, home ec meetings, and sorority picnics," "Zuke" announced "From now on women will be given a chance to prove their equality by covering beats formerly given only to men." Leonard E. Bach '43, business, tipped off the frosh to a few tricks in subscription and ad selling. Featuring a Tibetian rope trick by Professor Stuart A.

Fellas Won't Get Pins They Were Promised; Enrollment Drop Seen Local recruiting officers an nounced last night that College men would have to be disappoint ed again since the pins that were supposed to come for Army and Navy signer-uppers will not be coming. They were to be pretty pins and it's a shame that the noble volun teers aren't to be . rewarded, but it seems that officers feared that these badges would go the way of all fraternity pins and it just wasn't worth it.

"Penn State is doing its damn dest to combat the coke shortage," said Bill, who was quite happy about the whole thing. This statement brought violent cheers from the mob, especially from the coeds. Bill's last words as he left the platform, which WSGA had rigged up for the purpose, were, "I done it tall for you, Maw." The recipe book, which will be distributed to all women's dormi tories and to certain Allen street c.‘,..
