THE DAILY COLLEGIAN We, slte 11/Vonten We're 21— Going On 30 By KATHRYN M. POPP Assistant Women's Editor We were adamant. We said "No" with emphasis. We begged and pleaded. . We bashed the ed itor's ears down, ripped all the copy paper to shreds, and smash ed every typewriter in the Colle gian ,office. So what did they say? "Sorry, kid, but you gotta write a swan song. It's the custom:" So here we are. And the first thing we're gonna sing about is that number "30" that newspaper people persist in putting at the ends of columns like this one. We're gonna rock the firm foun dation of something or other by revealing the meaning of this mysterious number. "Thirty." To put it simply, it means, "That's all there is; there ain't no more." You see, news paper people have no faith in linotype operators. They feel that if they don't mark a story with "The End," the linotypist will go right on reading blank sheets of paper. Of course, since they have to, conserve space, time, and energy, they put the number "30" at the end of a story instead of writing out "The End" or "Stop Here." Then when the liriotypist, comes to the "30" he stops dead in his tracks and doesn't read any more stuff because there isn't any. He's always sure of this, because right there in front of him is the 'num ber "30" and he knows what that means because he's usually a pretty smart guy. Now the kids' on this paper want to put that silly number at the end of this column because they have a crazy idea that since we're gonna be graduated today, we're finished. We're at the end. We are, so to speak, washed up. Well, that may be, but we don't think so. We don't feel a bit "thirty." We feel just what we are, twenty-one small stuff, just getting out of college, with a long way to go yet. We're telling you this because your turn is coming. Some day somebody's gonna put a tag on your graduation gown with the number "30" on it, and you're gonna get sore., Don't let 'em do it. Stick to Sour guns. You've got a job to do in college, but there's gonna be a bigger one, once you get out. It's.a big climb from twenty-one to "thirty." Don't let 'em kid you. And if you don't mind, we think we'll get started on it. We'll see you at the end of the climb, right under the sign-post bearing the number "30". 'Okay? -3 0-3 0-3 0- noon or Saturday morning.

Women Take Over In Former Men's Industrial World Women engineers walking alont the highway carrying lunch pails to work will not be uncom mon in the near future, says Miss Julia G. Brill, associate professor of English composition, who re cently conducted a survey of de partment heads and occupational needs in their particular fields. Ten years ago women were considered in the way in the en gineering field, but today are needed badly for "behind-the lines" duty and replacements for civilian posts, especially drafts men. Women are already replacing' their bosses, who are entering the armed forces, in executive Posi tions and specialists' jobs, which were formerly closed to them.. Until a few years ago, women were valuable in chemistry only as laboratory assistants, but with the present war boom and an 'in creased interest in the study of sciences, are being advanced to such fields as biological chem istry, glass technology, metallo graphy, dairy sciences, and fuel. Demand for dieticians for army canteens and hospitals is among a host of opportunities for home economics majors. According to the survey, wo men will soon be digging in the dirt along with the few farmers who survive the draft and the call to industry. They will not only be called upon to test milk and inspect meat, but will actual ly harvest crops and sow the seed. Map Reading Courses (Continued from Page Two) On the other hand, hogback ridges and other elevated fea tures on a map indicate hard rock formations which may be difficult to excavate. Volcanic terrains have their own peculiar characteristics which can be re cognized on regional snaps and the topography, soils and geologi cal deposits of coast lines are dis tinctive and furnish very useful information of military import ance. The recognition of lime stone topography is important al so because of the possibility of contamination of water supplies: The study of topographic maps without knowledge of the basic geologic processes and deposits which are responsible for the character of the terrain often leads to costly mistakes.
