Hail Dinner, Storer Says
Hew Version Lacks
Old English Theme
"Informal dress." Ruth M.
Moyer '44, WSGA president. said
last night as she announced an
other change in McAllister Hall
Christmas dinner plans. Accord
•ing to a former announcement by
WSGA Senate, coeds were to wear
formal gowns to the banquet set
for McAllister Hall at 6 p. m. Mon-
The• ruling was changed so that
more women may have an oppor
tunity to attend the affair, Miss
.Storer explained, but stressed that
although the dinner is now in
formal. sweaters and skirts are not
to be worn. Coeds wishing to wear
gowns may do so, according to the
!president.
Contrary to the set-up in past
years, the dinner will be limited
to women who regularly eat in
ffAcAlrster Hall dining room. The
increased number of coeds and re
:tultarit crowded conditions • make
it imnossible to hold the custom
ary banquet open to all College
women.
Christmas carols and candlelight
:ire. in fact, all that remain of the
traditional Old English dinner.
'Trumpeters. forkless eating, and
)ords , and ladies 'have gone the
way. of other wartime non_essen
tials. for the duration, according
1» Senate ruling. •
"No program has been planned
this year, so that the banquet will
not take study time when women
:ire 'busy with blue books," Miss
Storer said. Awarding of Mortar
Board and Cwen scholarships, for
merly a part of the program, will
not take place Monday night. As a
:result of acceleration, coeds will
cat. sing carols, and return to
studies.

Home Ec Students
Make Christmas Display
A creche complete with the
Christ Child, .Mary, Joseph, the
Three Kings, shepherds and angels
is on display in the Home Eco
nomics building lobby. Students of
Art Education 14 and members of
the Home Economics Council are
responsible for the display.
The figures 4n the cradle, com
posed of newspapers, were made
by students of Art Education 14 as
part of a class problem involving
the making of costless Christmas
decorations that used no priority
materials. Newspapers are camou
flaged with mint.
Members of Home Economics
Council made the backdrop of sil
ver stars, trimmed the two Christ
mas trees in the lobby, and helped
arrange the figures in the creche.
The display will be on exhibi
tion until Christmas.
MacNabb Attends White House
Lunch as Guest of First Lady
What does the First Lady serve
for lunclie!on on meatless days?
"The W:hite. House strictly ob
serves rationing but none the less
this was about the best food I have
ever had," . lir:bert S. MacNabb '45
said after his personal visit with
Mrs. Roosevelt and war officials.
MacNabb went to Washington as
the guest of the First Lady; he met
Mrs. Roosevelt at a conference at
Hood College and last week he re_
ceived a telegram from her asking
him to visit the White House.
The luncheon menu was tomato
soup, ash en casserole, mashed po
tatoes and peas. Marshmallows and
jello with a lemon sauce made an
attractive dessert. Coffee in demi
tasse cups and candy ended the
luncheon. Finger bowls added a
touch of the unusual.
"Women can do anything men
do, provided it does not take brute
strength," Mrs. Roosevelt said as
they spoke informally about wo
man's position in the war effort. .
Assistimt Secretary of War Dorr
added, "You can be certain that
in the future women will take
over a large burden in industry."
Secretary Dorr said that he is . also
looking forward to the future
when women will be taking over
60 oercent of industry.
When MaoNabb told of the Cur
tiss-'Wright Aircraft Corporation's
plan to send 125 women to this
College for engineering training,
Dori. commented, "That is very
fine. In the future, that. kind of Hillcrest House, home economics
training will probably take up management house, will have- a
most of the college facilities under Christmas dinner party at 6:30 to=
the army plan." onight.

Women Prefer Warmth
To flattery—Slacks
Wearing Continues
Maybe Ogden Nash had the
right idea when he plaintively de - -
dared
Bedeck
yourself in floppy
Yours are the limbs, my sweel
ing.
You look divine as you ad
vance
But have you seen yourself
retreating?
At any rate, Penn State. men.
heartily agree with Mr. Nash's sen
timents. And they certainly are not
hesitant about voicing their views
on the subject. They make highly
audible remarks ,about it in
classes; they take polls to prove
their point; they write articles
about it in Collegian.
But 10-degree weather, accom-.
panied by icy blasts, is mighty
hard on the unprotected portion of
coeds' legs between anklets and
skirt hems, and. since Tuesday
floppy pants of all colors (and
sizes, the men would probably
add) have been invading the cam
pus. They may not be flattering
but they're warm, and until some
one makes a deal with the weather
man, coeds will wear 'em.
