f;tate coeds at the surgical dress•-
srigs meeting last night continues,
State College's monthly quota of

Mated,.
To- maintain sanitary condi
tions, Mrs. .Dogget pointed out
that:workers are required to wear
synocki over clothing. and coy
rrings-for the hair. If a coed has
a cold or an infection, Mrs. Dog
get urges her not to attend class,
as precatitions -must be taken to
Men- all dressings as clean. as
pos.sible in case they have to be
used without sterilizing on reach
hig. their destinations.'
Explaining Red Cross proced
ure in .rolling-dressings; Mrs. Dog
itet explained that gauze-must be
cleaned and all loose threads re
ktuwed, To - emphasize neatness
and ease in handling, the corners
are mitered--and pressed careful

.squares fit into paper bags twelve
finches high and five inches wide,
continued Mrs. Dogget. Each bag.
when full, holds 500 dressings.

that' commercial manufactures of
surgical dressings are able to
supply about- 10 per cent of the
Army and Navy requirements.

90 per cent, the Red Cross
}promptly agreed. to do- so. Only
a few hundred of the 37,000 Red
Crass• chapters in the country
were asked to make these special
dressings.

We, 54e Women
As Usual, Panhel
Postpones Action
If 600 coeds • (the approximate
number of sorority women on
campus) would invest 25 cents
each month in war stamps; the
total would be $l5O.
That suggestion was made at
Panhellenic Council• •meeting on
Monday. With typical indecision,
Panhel postponed action until the
next: meeting. .
• Twenty-five cents • will• buy a
pack of cigarettes and two cokes
(at pre-war prices) or slightly
more than half of a movie ticket.
Certainly, there are very few
sorority women who could not
afford• two-bits a month for war
stamps.
If the sum of Money had been
large, we agree that delegates
should have' returned to houses
for deliberation. If - it had been
a question, of rushing - 'policy,
again delayed action could be
justified.
However, when the sum !is
small • and the • need great, we
think that, for once; Panhel might
have Made up its mind.

It's about time that campus
foresters came out of ' the woods
to realize that painting advertise
ments on walks and buildings is a
violation of an. All-College Cab

In this instance, unfamiliarity
with regulations is no excuse;
only a little sense is necessary to
realize the one should not injure
College property.
