Continued from Page One . Having narrowed the problem down to this fac tor then we • would like to show just how childish :the whole thing is. When boys are in the Army or navy it doesn't seem to cramp anyone's style that more than one boy uses the same shower or even that a boy may wait his turn for a shower. As for :locker space, we're willing to wager that a good number of service men change their clothes, work Out and . get dressed without ever being near a locker. • . Changes must be made and are being made in College courses. Some courses will probably be dropped entirely. Others will be intensified. • Anyone will admit that an intensified compul ;:ory physical fitness course should be at the top of the list when it comes to speeding up. Yet ab solutely nothing is being done. Not being an authority on such matters, natur ally any solutions to the problem we might pre sent would not be the best. But why not have NYA boys paid to watch clothes hung on hooks sb that nothing would be lost. Or might it be possible for boys in various sections of town to dress in their own rooms and then meet in near-by specified areas for their work-outs. 'But these are not problems that students and laymen should ,attempt to work out.. They are 'problems for men trained in such matters. Namely the Phys Ed School leaders. Why then do they remain idle? We're not making a plea for action. It's long Past the time for pleas. We're not lamenting the fact that nothing has been done. We've done that too much already. We're merely stating facts that add up to one simple solution. Everyone concern ed has expressed their desire for an intensified physical fitness program. This is no idle desire but one based on the stark reality of the times we now live in. TVs up to the men in charge to do something about it. We, for one, can see only one road for them to take. That of immediate action. The Pennies Saved Are you a penny saver? If so, the United States 'treasury Department wants you . . to put them back into circulation again. It may seem to be a queer request cn the Treas ury Department's part, but due to the lack of copper because of its need in producing war ma terials, the nation's mint Finds that there is a great shortage of the metal for use in manufacturing ;Jennies Because of the enormous demand for one-cent pieces occasioned by state sates taxes, federal ex i!ise taxes, vending machines, and various other Distributor of Downtown Office 119-121 South Frazier St Phone 4372 Bill Reimer _Seymour Rosenberg Alice R.

Such a heavy demand for the penny would riot be necessary if men; women, and children can be induced to convert their penny savings into War . stamps, or even into coins of larger denom ination, of which there is an ample supply. . The 4,600 tons of copper consumed last year in making' the - one-cent piece, would have met the combined requirements' of copper for building two cruisers, two destroyers, 1,245 flying fort resses,l2o field guns and 120 howitzers, or enough for one and one-quarter million shells for our big field guns, One college professor in Pittsburgh, - noting a press release on the subject, garnered in and got into circulation on - his own initiative, 113,000 pen nies in about three weeks—from students and as sociate faculty members. Recently, in accordance with 'an Act of Con gress, a change was made in the content of the five-cent piece. It eliminated all of the .nickel, a critically scarce metal, from that denomination. While it is expected that pending legislation will likewise authorize a change in the content of the one-cent piece, which contains 95c.i. copper, what ever substitutes may be adopted Will also be -H. C. C scarce It is important that it be understood that for every coin hidden away, the mint must make an other to replace it: for the country must have coin to carry on the war program, and all its busi ness affairs. So, if you are one of the many persons that has pennies laying kite in china pigs, little banks, glass jars and the like, get them back into circulation, :oc the government and the war's sake.

Mc: Allister Hall Monday when 500 women gather for the food and the spirit and that's about all. • Because of lack of space in the hall and money for renting cos:. turves, WSGA has decided to cut down on the long-program. dinner which included speech-making, scholarship-presenting, • fun-rnak_ ing, and carol-singing. Always ac companied by a long procession, the program was begun with fork_ less eating at clothless tables. No 'details were overlooked 'and the atmosphere, what with candle lighted tables,•was exactly proper. Now that patriotic common sense sense has moved Senate to discontimie the elaborate dinner program. WSGA has gone one step further. InStead of compelling coeds din ing in the dorm to wear evening gowns, student government heads have decided that informal clothes will be "in place," too. However, since the occasion is a special one, coeds are asked . to don "Sunday go-to_rneeting" dresses at least. There will be no program What soever, but no one will frown if few "Christmasy" songs' burst forth and a bit of blithe spirit pre And then, . remember • this noti.neement: dinner . will be served at6p.m. When Senate, set that:, time,.they did it, for the sake of - thOse who would want to change into formals and other , clothes after-Jate after_ noon ciasS.g. they. didn't realize. how , convenient.: it would. be for sorne women w,ho insist on coining in at that time. every day! • . if coeds could hold their. seats, until EVERYONE is yeadyAo perhaps that 'spirit created 'will last and not fade with the swift passing of persons who just can't Lost and Found Students who have lost note books, gloves, textbooks or other articles . are asked to .. check with the janitors of all large buildings where they have classes.
