Adele J. Levin '44, WRA head,
presided at a meting of the Execu
tive Board last night, when the
sports group voted to purchase a
$l,OOO War Bond.
Penn State women are well ac
quainted with their own Codet
courses, surgical dressing classes,
and war stamp drive. Similar pro
grams, with additions, are being
carried on by other women at col
leges throughout the country.
Students at the University of
Southern California are working
at ' a nearby Red Cross center.
Their activities are divided into
three groups—blood bank, project
unit, and casualty station.
Women at the University of
Southern California volunteer to
act as hostesses at the U.S.O. Cen
ter, Casa de Rosas. In addition to
dancing they 'play checkers, ping
pong, and card games with serv
icemen.
Coeds at the University of Cali
fornia are enlisting in surgical
dressings and emergency short
hand courses. Pitt and Lebanon
Valley students are knitting •af_
ghans and sweaters for the Red
Cross. Campus groups at the. Un
iversity of Southern California
have asked speakers from the
WAACS and WAVES to address
their meetings.
However, despite ,the war, the
slogan is "business as usual"' as
far as coeds' social activities at
most colleges are concerned.
The Sodial Service Club at the
University. of Southern California
works at the YW on scrapbooks
for men
,in the armed forces, and
makes toy bags for the Children's
Hospital.
Women's intramural .competi
tion at the University of Southern
California will come to a' climax
when 650 university women vie
for awards in the Women's Ath
letic Association field meet this
week.

THE DAIL'S.' COLLEGIAN
Presides at Meeting
With Other
Women
Wo o 51te Women
Putting It off
Means Failure
Maybe in 1959 enough coeds will
have registered so that. the CODET
courses could be given. But in
1959, there won't be any need for
such registration. Today the
courses are needed and conse
quently the courses are given.
In an effort to entirely suit the
program of curricula to the needs
of the coeds, - correspondence was
sent to the War Department and
an outline of the preparatory
courses for - the. WAACs and
WAVEs was sent.
As closely as possible, these
qualifications were filled and
CODET courses 1 to 7 were set up.
To add to their value, the .admin
istration offered them with College
.credit, thinking that if so many
people were interested last semes
ter when the courses were offered
without credit, surely enrollments
would increase now.
As has been reported in the last
few issues of the paper, few have
seen or desired the values offered
in this wartime instruction.
Even though advanced and es
pecially trained persons will be
directing and planning programs
in their specific courses, coeds fail
to realize the 'benefit Which can ibe
derived and therefore have failed
to "enlist."
Deadlines for registration have
been moved ahead. Any drop-add
fees, which ordinarily would have
to be paid in the course of taking
on the defense schedule, have been
cancelled. Yet,. enrollments • are
still just so-so.
- If the College were making
money out of the proposition; if
students were:having to take use
less courses in peace times; if wo
men were already able to do what
further army and navy training
will require;. then• everything
would be hunky-dory and the.sit_
nation would be understandable
and expected.
But the College is standing the
costs; the courses are designed to
•fit the times; women need what is
being offered; and things aren't in
enviable shape.
It's a woman's privilege to
change her mind. Let's hope she
does it . . . before 1959.

and the dance begins at 10 p. m.,
after the boxing matches.
