Mothers would probabl-y be more uncomfortable than happy over such a weekend just now, Ruth M. Storer, president of WSGA, stated. Since many of the men whose fra ternity houses have been taken over by the Army are now living in rooming houses and hotels, these places formerly open to visitors are not available. The program, scheduled for April 17-18, would come at a time when men in the service would be using trains and buses for fur loughs. Rather than risk a week end which would provide such in conveniences and mark coeds as unpatriotic besides, WSGA can celled the program for this semes ter Wednesday night.
