H'ty, dean of women, announced yrtifcerday. The dining commons itl.-.o will continue to function at e-xtra charge, Miss Ray added. In previous years, dormitories >v)ve always closed during Col lege vacations.

WITH OTHER WOMEN “Pi-ivacy” may not -be written on the entrance to the Nittany Valley in so many words, but anyone who dwells among these hills knows of their secluding effect. Neverthe less, it is an established fact that other college campuses exist in other sections of the U.S.A. and the people strolling across them now and then get in a few unusual licks themselves, perhaps worth, lifting an eyebrow to. For example, coeds at Pitt have discovered a new technique for giving their telephone numbers to the recent arrival of Air Corps cadets. Scorning the regular tried and trite wiles, they perfected the practice of writing their names and telephone numbers in lipstick on Tuck Shop (eating place) tables just before cadets.enter for their recreation period. It’s a great day fox- women writers! In fact, the journalettes have replaced men on newspapers to such ,an extent, because of the war that five more years will see papers staffed more and more with women, as evidenced by the fact that Rutgers receiyes enough calls for reporters to place every wo man in the journalism department. A new beauty contest is on— and schools throughout the coun try are nominating their campus belles for the title, National War Stamp Queen. It’s a unique war bond sale, for each submission must be accompanied by an $18.75 ■bond. And then there’s the school that has instituted an annual practice of reversing the upper and under class situation. One day a year freshmen take over the positions and duties of upperclassmen and hold sway for their 24-hour reign.
