‘Princeton Daily Quits’
‘Princeton, Feb. B.—For the second time in 25
years, the Daily Princetonian, Princeton, campus
newspaper, has been forced by war conditions to
••suspend publication.”
That was a dispatch sent out by the Associated
Press. And in the column of another college paper
was an item giving notice that the Brown Univer
sity campus newspaper had folded up. “To the
..Exchange Editor—We regret to inform you that
the ‘Brown Herald’ has suspended publication
until victory,” the article stated.
The Targum, student publication at Rutgers,
writes an editorial, “The Art of Walking on Eggs,”
commenting on the paper’s status. Shortage there
.is staff members, as the financial condition con
tinues as usual.
Collegian has listed only two of the college
papers which have given up the ghost. There are
many others throughout the country, particularly
m small colleges where decreased-student enroll
ments fail to support a campus publication.
College newspapers which do have their noses
above water are existing solely because students
are required to pay for the paper on fees—The
.Semi-Weekly Pennsylvanian at the U. of P., for
instance. Those which have to solicit subscribers
are either “walking on eggs” or have given up.
The Daily Collegian naturally has been hit by
the same forces which are crippling other news
papers—small enrollments meaning smaller cir
culation, loss of advertisers who don’t realize the
value of keeping their names before the town and
Student body, and increased printing operating
costs.
The Collegian had a tough time pulling through
Oast Summer when it sponsored the “It’s Up to
You” campaign, but healed its wounds last Fall.
This semester has again put a kink in the balance
.sheets, but the Collegian will continue to operate
as a daily as long as it possibly can.
This paper feels it an attribute to be able to
stand up almost independently without student
assessment, while other student neswpapers crum
ble,- but it realizes that without some automatic
plan its present status will be periled this Sum
mer and for the duration.
It’s too bad a campus newspaper as old as The
Princetonian has to suspend publication until af
ter the war. The Daily Collegian extends its sym
pathies to the Tiger editors, and hopes for a big
ger and better paper at Princeton when peace
comes.

Officials of the War Department weren’t kid
oing when they said they’d call up members of
the Enlisted Reserve Corps at the completion of
i.lie semester ending after December 31, 1942.
At Grove City College, 55 students will leave
I hat institution in a body for induction. 'Lehigh
University has been affected to about the same
'•Tent, and other colleges about which no infor
mation is on tUo, are also being all'ecteu.

A Lean, and Hungrydook fff
~7. At—By Milton Dolingec vl/
The weekend past we were lagging
along with some of our columning
concomitants to observe how they
wont about digging gossip out ol the
campus mesalliances. ’Twas a little
short of necromancy the way they
could observe fraternity gew-gaws
on various revelers and then tell
who was pinned to what and why.
To our jaded glances the only pin
nings that looked good were under
pinnings. But that’s neither here nor
there. Some time during the evening.
we espied sitting- in a comer
one Bill Cisell lachrymating same good brew with
%vhat appeared to be salt-encrusted eye-wash. To
our inquiry, said Cissel replied to wit: “Everybody
keeps asking me when Drydock will open, and I
haven’t got the heart to tell it won’t because. . .
And that “because gentle reader, is what
we now propose to unfold. Bill was manager of
last year’s highly successful Drydock, which still
has a profit balance, we understand. This year,
with no dreams of hinderance, Bill planned a
bigger and better soft-drink nite club. The only
difficulty, at the time, was the question of the
Sandwich Shoppe, traditional center of Dock ac
tivities. That went by the hoards when Bill found
the Shoppe authorities glad ■to co-operate. And
then Cissel went to some students leaders and
asked for an off the record opinion about the ad--
visibility of opening the Club. These “leaders,”
mayhaps seeing nothing in it for them, turned the
proposition down. They advanced the argument
that there were too many “big” weekends this
semester—of their own making, mind you.
Know you then that these "big" weekends don’t
do anything for the defense program which is so
easily bandied about by the campus brain trust—
but most of the money made is turned over to the
“big” bands on the “big” weekends. Drydock,
however, will use nothing but campus material.
Exemplia gratia: College bands have offered to
supply groups for musical entertainment; Thes
pians, now that they can no longer take their
Mobile Units to army camps, will put on those
same shows at the nite club—and the. Shoppe will
handle refreshments despite its closure to the
general student body. And remember, you can’t
get out of this heavenly Borough with blood, sweat
or tears. Maybe the town viceries and ptomaine
temples have formed a bloc among campus politi
cos to oppose something as detrimental—to them—
as Drydock.
Drydock Ihen plans to turn over all its profits
to the USO, and not to such morale builders as
“big” bands. And yet one small-minded big-shot
said Drydock would hinder the campus war pro
gram! Cissel also plans to invite about 15 ensigns
to the Club—with their own dates. Possibly the
teas the girls have for them is this institution's
foremost hospitality' gesture to date. Last year
Drydock received invaluable publicity in the
country’s newspapers for its unique experiment
in soft-drink clubs. This year, several, national
magazines have written for an article on the Dock
and for a picture layout of its activities. Since
Barney Ewell left, maybe the College could use
some publicity.
Even our FalsiaHian ferret, Tredwynkle, is in
favor of Drydock . . . Doggie’s is still tops for him,
but still, what the hell, a soft-drink nite club,
o boy.
EDITOR’S MAILBOX
Dear Editor:
Somehow or other this Cassius-Cordelia feud
has given me the “urge” to write.' Perhaps' I’m
slightly prejudiced but I believe in the words of
Cordelia—orator of our fair sex. However, I think
there has been one stone left unturned. Now more
than ever we stress physical fitness—gals have to
be able to “take it”—that means all gals
why then, I want to know, the discrimination
against women faculty members and graduate
students.
They work hard if not harder than some un
dergraduate students and surely are entitled to a
lair measure of relaxation. The town facilities are
meager for this group—White Hall has “tops” in
equipment and is not TOO crowded to hold a
few more.
Why then, I ask, cannot W. R. A. further the
student-faculty relationship . by encouraging
wholesome fun and recreation together, (the very
best substitute 1 know for “informal teas,”) plus
doing heaps in morale building by letting our
women faculty members get a real chance to en
ter into our physical fitness program?
