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

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."

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.

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." -

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. .

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.
