College Sets Up Fruit Research Lab in Erie The College will give additional >Ud to the nation’s food produc iion program by establishing a new fruit and vegetable research laboratory at Erie. This section of the state, is a ) i ighly productive agricultural re gion, the grape crop alone having an estimated value on the farms last fall of $1,300,000. Dr. F. F. Lininger, director of the College agricultural experi ment station, has announced that Cruce D. Gleissner, instructor in economic entomology, whose re cent work has aided in the control of grape insects in the area near Fake Erie, will expand his work io include the biology and control cf other insect pests. Harold D. Fleming, assistant professor of pomology, will be transferred to the Erie laboratory to study horticulture practices aimed toward larger yields and more economical crop production. A plant pathologist will also be employed at the laboratory. A large part of the work of these men will be done on vari ous farms throughout the county with the co-operation of the farm owners. Dr. Selsam Discusses leases of Present War Prof. J. Paul Selsam of the De partment of History will lead a discussion centering around the question, “What Are We Fighting For?” in 121 Sparks, 7:30 p.m. March 16. This question is brought up by the news that American soldiers are participating in the war in increasing numbers, and that there are many local campus changes in the direction of greater war activity. We, 5L Women Don't Let Vacation Do Things to You “Four more days ’til vacation back to civilization . . and then what? Well, it’s pretty obvious what civilization will and will not offer to us vacationers next week. “You mean you’re still going to school?” “Vacation . . . what do you call what you’ve been hav ing?” “Don’i you know we’re at war?” “Look at what all the home town men and girls are doing. I can’t understand why you’re still at school.” These queries are impatient, thoughtless, dull thoughts, and should be ignored. Call it propaganda it you will, but college educations are needed and are definite “musts” in the war effort. And women are es sentials in the college make-up. When the point is reached where coeds and every other person in the so-called background indus tries have to move to the front, there will no longer be anything to fight for. “Back home” will have an entirely different conno tation and there will be no reason for a peace ,or an armistice except to give the fighters a “time out.” Send everyone to the front and into the a'ctual. fighting and within a short while there will be no food, no supplies, no ammunition. Take women out of schools, close col leges and universities and you have an unbalanced education. You have nothing equaling every thing. You can reach no objective and you solve no problem. The problem of the men is defi nitely looming larger. Our male population has been spared ’til May whereas the Reservists from other schools have already been summoned. Considering this, we go out as a body to visit home towns stripped of persons of our age; we go out to have a vacation while others figure we’re wasting time. Expect this treatment because you’ll get it; ignore it, but try to realize the importance of your part, and then after the vacation, come ba'ck. Students Eligible For Speech Meet Open to full-time undergradu ate students who are candidates for the bachelors degree, the an ual National Discussion Contest on Inter-American Affairs will have as its general topic, “How the American Republics Are Co-oper ating in Winning the War,” it was announced by the College speech department last night.

Woodford, speaker at the fourth annual Marie Curie lecture last night. “Women chemists have learned to interview as well as be inter viewed. They can now demand their type of work and - salary and depend on themselves because of confidence they have in their training,” Miss Woodford pointed out. She cited the development of women in the field of chemistry since the outbreak of the war. “War demands more of every thing, and women have been Eorced into service because of this increased demand for technical training. They are working side by side with their brothers and fathers,” Miss Woodford contin ued. In explaining the new recogni tion given to women, this out standing woman chemist empha sized the fact that after the out bi-eak of the war, industry looked for some hidden supply of wom en. They found a surprisingly small number because women were discouraged from securing technical positions. One of the basic reasons for the lack of response by women grad uates in the field of chemistry was attributed to the fact that women did not want to risk the uncer tainty of war-created jobs, Miss Woodford emphasized. The lecturer advised women who are undecided concerning their futures to remain in school. Women cehmists are vitally need ed both in industry and for train ing purposes. She also advised prospective women chemists to consider typing and shorthand an essential in entering any field. “This is the physicists’ war, a fact not to be disputed, but there must also be a steady flow of chemicals to win the war,” Miss Woodford concluded.

BELFONTI iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimi Now that the interclass series have been put quietly away until some other time, I’d like to men tion something which never oc curred to me before I settled my self in front of the Daily Col legian’s well - worn Remington ’29 today. It seems that all articles written about the interclass series emphasized scoring honors and said not much, in fact nothing, about the contribution of the guards to the game. Although their rough scoring average is a well-rounded zero, guards have much to do with the success of a team, most sports commentators will tell you. And when we come down to finer points, guards -are really the “cagey” players, if the reader will forgive the pun. The job of the forwards is to get points; and, it is said that the job of the guards is to prevent them. And so goes basketball just like evei - ything else—someone trying to do some thing and someone else trying to stop him. But, I’m not going to go philo sophical at this point. I’m going to talk about Army-Navy basket ball which will begin after spring vacation. Army-Navy Basketball With the sophomores resting on their laurels after squelching all interclass basketball opposi tion,. and with the AOPi bowling Brown Prefers fo Play For Student Audiences (Continued from Page One) State College. Tomorrow night Les plays an Allentown engage ment and then shoves off for a theater date in Springfield, Mass., on Monday. On March 3, he opens a three-week stand at Frank Dai ley’s new Terrace Room in the Newark armory. Then a return to the scene of his former- tri •umphs—the Paramount Theater in New York. When the trend of talk turned to the Brown family, the maestro commented that he had high hopes for his son in the music world. “He comes to every band pract ice that he can and already has decided to j in me in my profes sion,” Les added proudly. Just then Les’ brother broke the conversation to say that there was a chance for Les and him to drop up to their parents in Rinerton. “Gee, I’ll be glad to see Mom again,” Les exclaimed, with an expression of jny reminding us of. a schoolboy away from home for the first time.

Army-Navy basketball will feat ure coeds selected on the basis of their performance in the inter class tilts. Miss Mildred A. Lucey, instructor in physical education, and Mary G. Longnecker, WRA intramural manager, will name the participants. And, lest we for get, three guards will accompany three forwards on each squad. Intercollegiate Swimming Another phase of the White Hall program includes Intercollegiate Telegraphic Swimming. Twelve coeds having had eight half-hour practice sessions, will participate in the National Inter collegiate Telegraphic Swimming meet which will be held in the White Hall pool at 7:30 p. m. Mon day, according to F. Doris Steven son, WRA Publicity Chairman. The final practice will be held ait 2 o’clock today. Teams from more than 60 colleges and universities will compete. This practice will determine what coeds will participate in each event. It is quite definite, however, that Marilyn Globbish, breast stroke title holder, will participate in the 40-yard breast stroke-in which she is unusually outstand ing. WRA officials expect her to place in the competition. Gloria Woodward in the 40-yard crawl is also expected to place. The following events will feat ure the meet: 40-yard- breast stroke, 100-yard breast stroke, 40- yard crawl, 100-yard crawl, 40- yard back stroke, 100-yard back stroke, 75-yard medley relay, 100- yard free-style relay, and 75-yard individual medley which will in clude the crawl, back stroke, and the breast stroke, Coeds who will compete include Estelle Brown, Joan- Clark, Alice Geyer, Marilyn Globbish, Martha Gosztonyi, Elizabeth McGee, Joan Miller, Margaret Quick, Charlotte Taylor, Phyllis Watkins, Elizabeth Wiley, and Gloria Woodward.
