KEEFAUVER '44 Coeds may have the opportunity •to enroll in Defense Courses of their own choosing in the Fall, ac cording to announcement yester day by Dorothy K. Brunner '44, WSGA vice-president and speak er of WSGA House of Representa tives. "All women are urged to turn in to the dean of women's office or to members of the House names of suggestions for additional defense courses." Action will be taken to waive any prerequisites for regular courses in order that coeds in all schools may schedule them, ac cording to Miss Brunner. NTew courses suggested at House meeting yesterday were . a motor corps, telegraphic code, and a course for air raid wardens. WSGAivecommends that coeds complete courses which they be gan last semester. For example Mose who have •taken the First Aid Course would be benefitted by supplementing it with the instruc tor's course, according to Miss Brunner. As a result of fan mail from the U.S.S. Atlanta expressing appre ciation for WSGA's "Bars for Tars Day," the House voted yesterday to promote another similar pro ject. In reply to "tars' " plea, the House will contact coeds interest ed in corresponding with the sea men.

Sympathetic Coeds May Still Sign Up To Be Big Sisters By JOAN E. PIOLLET '45 There are going to be some freshman coeds on Campus this Fall who are going to be much more lost than upperclasswomen ever were. Gee, kids, it would be nice if some nice sophomore, jun ior, or senior would take some nice :frosh under her wing and teach her about College. Some of these new freshmen won't be lost, because they have been given 'big sisters', but 100 of them have no one to turn to. All sympathetic coeds may apply at the Dean of Women's office for a `little sister," H. Anne Carruthers '44, WSGA town senator, announc ed at WSGA Senate meeting last night. Invitations to attend next week's Senate meeting will be sent to Miss Lillian L. Arent, instructor in chemistry, Yetta Froimson '44, 'Dorothy I. McMann '44, Irene Urich, Peggy Lou Chapman '46, Joan Finn '46, and Patricia Hal berg '46. Coeds Carry On (Continued horn Page One) Women, as well as men, must face and solve campus problems. Beginning next week, Collegian women will cover some of the beats formerly handled by men. The men's staff, recognizing the possibility that military demands may eventually deplete their staff, have agreed that women should prepare to take over if necessary. Thy also realize that women must train to replace men on metropoli tan papers. Accustomed to working in a man's world, Collegian women are anticipating covering All-College news. Last night we were silly coeds, having fun putting out the paper ourselves. Today, we'll con tinue trying to be good newspaper women dissatisfied with com menting only on dormitory lounge conduct or covering tea and coffee hours. we P 7h WoteJ Newsmen 'Vacation' As Women Take Over By COY GORDON Aug. 12, 1942 New York City Dear Collegian Women, We arrived here early tonight in the best of condition for tomor row's conflict. The rest of the gang are drinking milk and sing ing Christmas carols, and are en joying their one-day vacation. They all realize that they will have to be in the pink of shape if they want to withstand the strain of reading that paper your staff is putting out. Boy, you should see the WAAC's running. around in this city. Zuke was tellin' me that it would be a good idea if some of the Penn State coeds joined up with the WAAC's. But when Zuke said this I remind ed him of what Dean Ray said. We were just getting off the train at Pennsylvania Station, when I saw Dean Ray. She came running over and I talked with her a while and she told me that she had come to New York to see about the qualifi cations for coeds who wished to join up with the WAAC's. She admitted that coeds should never join the WAAC's, unless they first considered the fit of the uniform. I wondered what Dean Ray meant and she explain ed—" The magic number is 35 and that means both age and hip measurement. The offender may neglect one but never both of these. For further details, con sult your local mirror." Well, I agreed that Charlotte had some pretty good arguments— but before I could get a chance to say anything more, she added that she was also up here in New oYrk for some serious business. She said that she had just been over to see the father of a coed who was engaged. The coed thought that she should have special privileges because she was engaged; her father was taking her part. Well, Dean Ray was trying to convince the girl's father that he was wrong —and he whipped right back with the retort, "But you've never been married. You've missed all this." But Charlotte was in a hurry, because she had to catqh the train back to State. So I said so long and wished her a nice trip.. By that time Zuke had found a couple of rooms for the rest of the gang. We told the boys they could have late permissions, just as long as they were careful to remain in good condition for tomorrow's bat- . tle. Also they were not to throw any empty milk bottles at air raid wardens, like some students do back at Penn State. Well, we hope you women are not having too much trouble with the paper. I gotta cut this letter short, because Zuke is pesterin' me and saying that we will miss that milk wagon that just went by if we don't hurry up. You see we have to keep plenty of milk on hand to help the boys keep in con dition for the task of. reading your paper when it comes out —if it does. • Some one just yelled "air-raid" and the lights went out so I must stop now because I can't find the right typewriter keys.

If rumors be true, Les Hetenyi of big band and red convertible fame, has got him self something new, a coed wife. The couple was serenaded by Glee Club members at the Corner Room last night. Hetenyi told friends, they were married last week. A scientist has discovered that if insects are blindfolded, they will walk in circles. Collegian men do it all the time.
