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 Announces
Equality For Women
Dimly perceivable through a
cloud of smoke and arms reaching
for free cigarettes was the figure
of Herbert J. 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. Mahuran,
faculty members of the journalism
staff addressed the group in turn.

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.
The news about the cute little
anchors and propellers was kept
quiet until today because they hat
ed to suffer •any - serous drop in
enrollment. However, it couldn't
stay a secret any longer cause all
the kids came in . to get their's and
were abashed when they heard the
dreadful news.
Authorities say they can' under
stand the motives in a man's mad
ness when he joins the armed
forces, and dons an eye-catcher
uniform, but they are much amaz
ed that .several campus coeds are
coming daily to inquire about the
ATA's, WAVES, and the WAAC's.

Council members, in their brief
