COY AND HERBERT J. ZUKAUSKAS. LOU BELL Thursday, August 13, 1942 Draft The Dodgers? In the interests of democracy, College adminis tration and organizations have pleaded for coed interest in defense activities and war-time courses. The administration set up an elaborate defense course to which coeds responded only half-heart edly. "We're too busy," they cried en masse as College officials, backed by campus societies, attempted •to recruit coeds to enroll in such courses as Home INTursing, Elementary Nutrition, Clothing, First .Aid, Radio Code, Overall Mechanics, Personnel Management, and Secretarial Methods. Majority of our College women fail to recog nize the fact that the nation is engaged in a war which is a war to the last woman. Modern war is no longer fought by a selected group of proles- Gional soldiers. • To make the defense course repetoire more in •clusive, WSGA House of Representatives is seek :mg suggestions from the entire coed body. If suf ficient interest is shown, the College may even waive prerequisites for courses which would be of value to defense industry. . In a recent poll of sophomore, junior, and senior women, the House discovered that the majority of those contacted favored giving one College credit to those satisfactOrily completing a defense •course. Is this typical of our democratic spirit? It seems that everything short of drafting wom an for defense courses has been done. Perhaps !this final step, although undemocratic, Will have 'to be taken to pull these slackers out of their At present a group of approximately 25 senior women are "winging their way to victory" by tak ing an airplane drafting course sponsored by the Engineering School. This is a relatively small percentage of coeds and there are plenty more Drafting may sound drastic and undemocratic but it may be the only solution. —H.R.K. Room For Improvement With the announcement by President Hetzel yesterday of the transfer of the men's tri-dorm 'unit into coed living quarters, word comes that these dormitories cannot provide all the conven iences that have long been admired, by residents f Atherton Hall. According to the President, the survey made by Miss Charlotte E. Ray, dean of women, of im provements desired in the newly -transferred 'dorms included enlarging of lavatory facilities, addition of kitchenettes, and other conveniences •considered a necessity in other campus dormi- homes The time is short, however, before women oc-. .cupants will take the place of men. There isn't lime to make these suggested alterations. And Were is a war going on. Priorities tie the hands , of the administration. Before condemning the . College for insufficient :nousing, coeds should think of the men who will willingly evacuate dorms in the interest of the !College. Reports from the men themselves show that they would prefer to live in the College dorms, but they are willing to cooperate in the College's effort to build up coed enrollment to inevitable decreases in male enrollment during the war. This may not be an ideal setup; College author- Ries realize this. But there is a war going on, and according to President Hetzel, "This is just a Mei) in helping to meet wartime requirements." —M.J.W. Lion Tales Since this is an opportunity that pops up once per annum when men are shoved out of circula tion, we take keys in fingertips to start talkin' . about men. The years are many and the years are long since men began to reiterate . . . "coeds are sad . . ." So here are ten inches of your own medicine, boys; open wide, and swallow. 77 ' les z s Men are the gods' gifts to themselves. They are intangible products of ego, and I-dood-it-ness. They have been much sought after by women, and in current times by Uncle Sam. Penn State men fall into various classifications: (1) the I-gotta girl-at-home type. (2) the I-gotta-girl-but-oh you-kid breed, (3) the Lions Paw species, and you know what I mean, (4) the free and easy class, free from taint of women, family, and morals. Lastly, members of this family are "fast developing into rarities as few and far between as hen's teeth 4-F on campus. Taboo— In a pow-pow the other night sat venerable All-College Cabinet. Bill Lunclelius, of no-mixed drinking fame, had the floor. It seems our fair maidens were belng menaced by the long-dead WC code, which begged for resurrection. Another group• of "outstanding senior men" had given their views, as usual. This guzzling was disgraceful; it must stop . . .no two-beers about it. Disapproval was registered everywhere. So everybody dis approves . . . so women . . . even your mamas . . . thirst . . . So what. Chaser— We're sorry to make you take the ugly stuff, so here's a sweeter chaser to wash it down. We pick queens, so why not select some kingly males from the assortment available? The Court:" Sand wich Shop king, Bob Mawhinney; Corner room Lord and master, Bob Brooks; Foam King, Al Bol inger; King of Back Slappers, Square Watkins; and this sneaked in somehow . . . Sammy Chase, the guy all the gals want to cuddle. Then there's Bud CaSselberry . . . Lord of Adonises . . . and lest we forget, everyman; who's an ace to draft boards. Discreetly Speaking— • Speaking of pinning and stuff, we can herewith submit two items of interest, and no women's names mentioned, either. Jack Hunter is sans SAE badge . . Bus Blakeslee pinned a popular pretty recently. Another angle on this: Blakes lee's blonde was approached by another potential Saturday-nighter . . . with the tip of his tongue curled to ask for a date. He saw the pin, bit his tongue, and said, "Hello." - END OF SEMESTER SUPPLIES TYPING PADS THESIS & TERM PAPER SUPPLIES TYPEWRITER RIBBONS CARBON PAPER REVIEW BOOKS ON ALL COLLEGE SUJECTS ALWAYS—TRADE AT KEELER'S Cathaum Theatre Bldg.

Hetzel Approves Tri-Dorm Transfer (Continued from Page One) Miss Charlotte E. Ray, dean of women, made a survey of advis able renovations for the dormitor ies. Although many alterations will be impossible in the short period of time, and certain build ing materials are not available, the President announced-that coeds must accept conditions as they are, although they will not be compar able-to other women's dormitories. In commending the dormitory men on their fine spirit of cooper ation, Hetzel remarked,"There will undoubtedly be more changes coming in the future, and we must be prepared for many sacrifices and adjustments. This is just a Step in helping to meet wartime requirements." • Members of the committee who drew up the recommendations which met with the President's approval include Samuel K. Hos tetter, assistant to the president in charge of business and finance and committee chairman; William S. Hoffman, College registrar; Carl E. Marquardt, College examiner; and Miss Ray. . Probable Camp THE SHE ICUB (Continued from Page One) and that an-outside speaker, (out side of the PSCA) Miss Ruth H. Zang, would come and tell the fellas what girls like in 'em. If Ned Linegar isn't too busy running off press releases, G. Ber nard M. Stein '44 said that maybe, maybe, Ned could come out to the camp and welcome the frosh to Penn State. With so much planning going on for the Old Main open house Fri day, Gerald B. Maxwell Stein '44 is mighty, mighty, mighty 'busy. But G. B. doesn't mind. He said that after all he wasn't 'ex-officio member of cabinet for nothing. (He didn't say for how much, though.) G. Bernard M. said that he'd know by September 10th almost definitely what the plans are for ROOMS Five rooms for rent the camp but he could say nothing close to . campus. Come see. No further now., noise except Saturdays. Board Saying no more, G. Bernard M. can be arranged.

Another thought ful Greek said, "We Sigma Nu's want more sleep. We've rushed hard and fast and we need a rest." Others voiced the necessity for a feeling of "chuminess" between the rusher and rushee, but it was the united feeling that the boys didn't 'want to deceive a new Frosh; they were out to lead pipe him immediately. Campus Calendar TODAY MISCELLANEOUS THURSDAY, AUGUST, 13, 1942 Cut-Up Chisels On Poor Puss While strolling from the golf course to Hort Woods, did you ever see that big tent by Rec Hall? Hid ing under it are two great big pussy-cats—not real live ones, but toy ones. For several months now, there's been a man up there with a little piece of metal and a hammer, gouging great big hunks out of one of the cats, wilt& used to be just a big hunk of stone. Day by day it's getting to look more like the other cat. When 'it's all finished, they're going to stand the stone cat out on caMpus'somewhere and call it the Lion Shrine. Won't that be nice? The money for it was saved up by one of the classes that graduated several years ago. There's a tricky sort of instru ment the man uses to measure how much he wants to hack away at certain places. And you should see the warts on the cat! - They're just awful. You'd think they'd pick a healthy animal to make a model of. With a minor operation, though, they're going to get rid of the warts—they're only used for. measuring, anyhow. •If you stoop down and look un der the platform where the man's working on" the, big cat, you can see big nieces of stone that the man has chiseled off. What we want to know it, what are they go ing to do with those hunks of stone; sell them as souvenirs? And another thing, when are they going to start a course in chis eling at the College? Seems like a lucrative business. Co-ops Cooperate The Allen Street Co-op and the Nittany Co-op will hold an ex change dinner tonight. Two men and two women from each house Will • participate, in . the dinner Which will be the sixth' in' a series planned to last all semester.
