Drive Over- 200 coeds attended the V.'hite Hall Red Cross Rally, ac >rding to Adele Levin,WßA presi i( ‘rit,, to help make this one ot the 5 Most successful Red Cross drives In hit the campus in recent years. Approximately 500 magazines, 5 nore than 100 coat hangers, about ;i dozen sweaters, and even two docks of cards were listed among admission contributions. Cn addition to these contribu tions, WRA will donate $lOO to the Campus Red Cross Drive, ac cording to Miss Levin. Bushels of materials were col :i acted to stuff animals which will ho given to underprivileged chil dren and children living in the •war zones. Fifty “housewife” kits were made for soldiers. These kits contain sewing implements, and every man who sails overseas is equipped with one of them by the Red Cross. About 30 squares which will fart a huge afghan, requiring 60 squares, have been finished, ac cording to Miss Levin, and hun dreds of pictures were cut from various magazines to make scrap books for men in the armed forces. The success of this rally was so encouraging to White Hall staff members, members of the WRA Executive Board, and WRA club presidents, that plans for another Red Cross Rally of this type are now underway. This rally will be held in the White Hall gymnasium from 7 until 10 p. m. Wednesday, March 31. The committees members are tentatively the same group that served on the committees for the former rally. ■Metzel Urges Students (Continued from Page One) contribution, since credit will still lie given to each 100 per cent house, even though they have moved. Faloon explained that it is the job of each fraternity president to collect the funds. Thus house members will be able to ease the task by personally giving their donation to him at once. Although today has been the date set by campaign heads for bringing all dorm, sorority, and fraternity sums to the Student Union office, students may continue to bring in their money next week. Representative from each house and dorm should report any collec tions made thus far to Faloon to day, at Student Union, so that fur ther campaign plans can be ar ranged for the remainder of the drive. for Spring on the Campus- Bermuda Sweat Ask any of tin girls who has or these 100% Vici Sweaters in ma ous shades.

They did this with the full knowledge that it would entail giving up lollipops and doughnuts at their future hall meetings. Three cheers for their side! And don’t forget those cheers, because these 115 coeds were darn proud of themselves for making such a gesture of their own free will. Ten minutes after this noble de cision, these same women made complete fools of themselves by opposing a suggestion that they give up one of the two easy chairs in their rooms for Cadettes and coeds in the tri-dorms, where no such chairs are provided. Their protests were pathetic ex amples of selfish adolescent il logic. “The Curtiss-Wright girls are paid $lO a week —why don’t they buy their own chairs if they need .them that badly, or why doesn’t the company buy chairs for them?” Lady, did you know there’s a war going on? Ever heard of prior ities? Do you suppose furniture companies are still being given materials for production in the face of wartime conditions which demand all-out work on tanks, planes and ships? “The Cadettes haven’t been very appreciative of any of the orienta tion or entertainment programs we planned for them, so they probably won’t even realize what we’re giv ing up for them.” To any thinking person, this smacks of rank rationalization, and suggests the painful possibility that those 115 coeds would refuse to give up their precious chairs to anyone. And do you suppose the men in the Army, the Home Guard in Eng land, the Red Cross nurses, the Cadettes themselves, think very much about being appreciated? | “But think of the gas and tires they’ll waste transporting the Ellen H. Richards Opens 'Button and Sock' Clinic ■Ellen H. Richards club an nounces the opening of a new serv_ ice for Penn State bachelors—the “button and sock clinic”—which will begin in Home Economics building at 5 p.m. next Monday. Anyone desiring to have buttons sewed on or socks darned may bring them in at that time any Monday, Wednesday, or Friday. One cent per button will be charged, if the button is provided, and darning prices will be two cents for a hole under one-half inch in diameter and five cents and up for larger holes. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN chairs” . . . “after all, when we were freshmen, we had none of these conveniences that Atherton affords, so why shouldn’t we capi talize on them now?” . . . and so on into the night. The upshot was a vote of 95-20 against complying with the Col lege plan. And don’t forget that these were women who had denounced frater nitv men for their hectic protest against being moved out of their houses. The men had to give up desks, bureaus, and beds, too, ladies. These were women who came back from vacation sobered by the realization of the sacrifices our folks at home are making to help others. This unfortunate incident shows clearly a prevailing spirit of self ishness among our coeds. It shows clearly why women haven’t gone all-out for the Red Cross drive, why they haven’t shown up to roll bandages, why they haven’t enrolled in CODET courses. It shows that, hereafter, when the College wants cooperation from 'the women on campus they will have to demand without ex planation or equivocation. It looks as if the College will just have to come and get those chairs, and suffer the consequences of student disapproval. We hope they do.

A* a .student, you’ve doubtless asked yourself many times what you ought to do to help win this war. What can you study that will be of practical assistance? The Retail Bureau at the University of Pittsburgh is offering a new opportunity to college upperclassmen to be trained for a' successful career in retailing while gaining actual working expe rience at a steady weekly salary. You will receive regular under graduate credit for your work at the Bureau, you’ll earn a weekly income in a Pittsburgh department store, you’ll be making a definite contribution to civilian wartime morale—at the same time piling up experience toward a career. Pitt’s Retail Bureau came into being during World War I to help retailers replace executives and junior executives lost to the armed forces and government services. In this war, we’re bringing 24 years of successful store service to the problem. of training new people.
