That’s Sadie Hawkins’ formula
f' r finding an escort to the Cwens-
Hortar Board Spinster Skip, to be
■I eld in White Hall from 9 to 12
pm. Friday, March 12.
“And, whereas time is getting
;'.hort, and vacation is cornin’ up,
>(i’d better snag him quick,” Sadie
advises. “Your best bet is to grab
•viiur Soph Hop date before some
one else gets him first.”
The dance will be informal,
) i.ekzebiah Hawkins, mayor of
i iogpatch, decreed. Mayor Hawk
ins, lately turned fashion advisor,
mggested that saddle shoes and
plaid shirts and skirts would be
in order with customary hillbilly
atmosphere of the dance.
“Just check your pipes at the
door,” he added, “because smokin’
is agin the rules at White Hall,
~itd drag your man in—once you
get 'him past the ticket-taker, he
can't get away.”
The dance is a pet project of
the Mayor who instituted Sadie
Hawkins day so that his not-too
:.i fctractive daughter, Sadie, could
get herself a man. She’s managed
to catch one for herself every year,

year some desperate 4-F’er will
discover a soulmate in the hitherto

will reign as the most eligible
bachelor, according to popular
vote.
Candidates for the title are Rube
Falcon, senior class president;
Hank Keller, IFC president; and
CJiff St. Clair, junior class presi

until Tuesday, and ballots may be
cast at Student Union or the Cor

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.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Marie Curie Speaker
Stresses Importance
Of Women Chemists
“In three years the pendulum
has swung in favor of women
chemists,” stated Miss Lois W.
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.

WOMEN IN SPORTS
By RITA M. 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.

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.

ure coeds selected on the basis
of their performance in the inter
class tilts. Miss Mildred A. Lucey,
instructor in physical education,

The final practice will be held ait
2 o’clock today. Teams from more

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
