Save Your Clothes ;
Take Them To The
Sock Arid Shirt Ciiriic
Do 1 you have any shirts that
need buttons or any socks that
need darning? Then take them to
the Sock and Shirt Clinic, spon
sored by the Ellen -H. Richards
Club, sophomore home economics
honorary. The clinic, located at the
Home Economics Library, will be
open to all neglected campus men
from 5 to 5:30 o’clock on Mondays,
Wednesdays, and Fridays.
' The cost of these-services is ..a
penny a -button, two cents for holes
under half an inch; and five cents
and up for larger ones. - ,
Since the purpose of the Ellen
H. Richards Club is to serve the
campus, it has been providing car
rots for the Ag. students who have
been lunching at -the dairy and
not getting enough vitamins.
However, as carrots are becom
ing scarce and the boys have been
temporarily saved from night
•blindness, the club has switched its
program to the conservation of
clothes, under the leadership of
Lynn Feldman. The funds received
will be used for future service.
GLADYS SWARTHOUT
(Continued from Page One)
Miss Swarthout declared that
> she noticed a new audience in the
music halls since the war began,
people who never came to opera
and concerts before. This is espe
cially true at the Met, she said,
where she appeared Saturday in
“Carmen.”
• Commenting on Penn State, the
diva admired the peace and fluiet,
and advised the students to ap
preciate it while they can for
I there is so little peace left in the
i world today.

You've Got To Do
More Than Enroll
Women say that they are doing
their part by going to college in
these days of war and world con
flict. They’re right. They can have
perfectly clear consciences about
the matter. People may talk but
coeds should overlook it ... so
long as they are really getting
something out of it.
. But when women pass up op
portunities to learn more, to help
more, or refuse to accept an invi
tation to a talk that can help them,
they are no longer doing ttieir
part. They are no longer above
criticism. They are no longer valu
able as college students to their
country. It isn’t the coed’s regis
tration in a college that helps . . .
it’s her participation and her har
vest of knowledge and experience
that she h'as made.
Tomorrow another of these so
often-snubbed opportunities is at
hand. Tomorrw Mrs. J. H. Wil
liams, state president of the Amer
ican Association of. University
Women, will be here to speak to
any interested coeds in 121 Sparks
at 4:10 p.m.
There should be a. large crowd.
Records show that the largest
coed crowds are in restaurants or
at bridge tables in the 4 to 5 hour.
Time tables show that a major
ity of the College courses are
scheduled before that hour and
that most coeds- are finished with
“their days’’ at 4 or before.
Campus meetings, sorority song
practices, and extra-curriculjcr ac
tivities are provided for those
hours usually. The hours are evi
dently free. ;
Mrs. Williams will talk about
women as citizens, which topic
should affect and interest every*
coed enrolled.
Thursday, in - itself, has fewer
classes scheduled that day than
others.- .
There are few excuses, then,
that could really be validated by
campuseers. ’
Here is an invitation which
should not be ignored nor regarded
as any other talk of any other
semester. .
Here is a war, a problem, a sit
uation, a confused group of coeds,
a possible solution.
Rather than compel their sisters
and members to attend a sorority
sing tomorrow or rather than to
insist that a meeting be held then,
we suggest that Greeks as well as
independents inaugurate a plan
for at least a certain percentage of
their enthusiasts to be present at
this 1 wartime opportunity. .

Advertising students will hear a
talk by Harry L. Hawkins, adver

techniques in the dissemination of
