Panhel Council
Bail Scheduled
For March 26
Panhel Cancels Annual
Bridge Tournament
Panhel Ball, originally sched
uled for the same weekend as In
terfraternity Ball, has been set for
March 26, according to Martha E.
James, Panhellenic Council presi
dent. R. Christine Yohoe
man of the dance with Barbara E.
Boak and B. Ann Moorehduse,
members of the committee. Panhel
Ball will be held at the Nittany
Lion Inn.
The Panhel Defense Stamp drive
was also discussed at the meeting.
Miss James urges all sororities
whose numbers have been
changed by graduation to change
their' quotas at Student Union as
soon as possible. So far,- the drive
has not been as successful as it
might have been, Miss James
stated, but with increased effort
on the part of all houses, quotas
can be met and sororities can aid
the, national defense movement.
The annual sorority bridge tour
nament will not be held this year.
Because the College is “all out”
for defense, and coeds have- been
asked to bandage rolling classes
sponsored by the Red Cross, Pan
hellenic Council members felt the
annual tournament superfluous.
Sororities are asked to cooper
ate in the physical fiitness pro
grams'being planned by the phys
ical education department Ac
cording to plan, coeds have been
requested to attend calesthenic
classes from' 10 until 10:15 every
evening, Sunday through ■'■Thurs
day. This, however, is optional.
These classes will be held in the
lounges in various units of the
dormitories.

Former Coed Enlists In SPARS,
Describes Preliminary Exam
One of the first coeds to enlist in
the SPARS, Ruth E. Silberkraus, a
December graduate, will leave for
Smith College, Northampton, Mas
sachusetts, February 13, just two
weeks after,, she passed the en
trance examinations in New York
City.
Miss Silberkraus described the
examination, which required an
entire day to complete. The mental
was a composite vocabulary and
mathematics test for which the
prospective SPARS were given an
hour to complete. The physical
examination was thorough, involv
ing X-rays and blood tests.
.Apprentice seamen in the
SPARS are housed in dormitory
units at Smith College during the
period in which they receive a
month’s indoctrination training.
There is no noticeable difference
between the WAVES and SPARS
training. Miss Silberkraus chose
the. latter reserve branch because
she would be accepted more
promptly.

the WAVES with the exception of
the insignia on the hat, will be
provided by an allowance of $2OO.
The uniform consists of “every
thing that shows,” not. including
shoes and gloves. Shoes for general
wear must have an inch and one
half high heel, the dress heel may
be two inches high.
The SPARS are keeping in step
with the times by wearing beige
lisle stockings. Miss Silberkraus
was instructed to cut her hair so
that it “cleared the collar.”
The base pay of an apprentice
seaman is $5O, increasing with
rank. Miss Silberkraus, who is in
terested in communications work,
will be assigned to duty at a base
where she can release a man for
active service. Among the possi
bilities are Miami, San Diego,
Norfolk, Washington, D. C., or any
other Coast Guard establishment.
