blend the life of the Army Pre-

Arthur R. Warnock as he address
ed members of . Interfraternity

Food, Rooms, Travel
Cramp Mother's Day
Crowded rooming conditions,
shortage of food, and crowded
trains and buses constitute -the
chief reasons Mother’s Day week
end, cancelled by WSGA Senate
night, will definitely
not be held this semester.
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.
