Defense Ideas
By HELEN R. 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.
Tn conjunction with the home
economics department, a commit
tee was appointed by the Speak
er to distribute posters from the
U. S. Board of Nutrition in De
fense. Posters will be placed in
dormitories, sorority houses and
downtown stores by Mabel E. Sat
terthwaite '43, E. Jane Barnes '44,
Marian S. Owen '44, Patricia Hal
)erg '46, and Marjorie Rude '46.
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.

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. In case,

The Secret Is Out:
Hetenyi Ties Knot
The secret's out. 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.
