!■■ 5 Remain Open
M Easter Vacation
i Travel Conditions Head
f Reasons for New Ruling
All women’s dormitories on
Pampus will remain open during
<]io Easter vacation, Charlotte E.
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. This year, how
ever, many coeds have expressed
.1 desire to remain at College and
i;o avoid the long and somewhat
over-crowded conditions of the
f i .tin and bus rides home.
Master vacation, April 22-27,
Ktin.us the two days it takes most
; indents to travel home and back,
doesn’t present too long a stay at
twme. Traveling conditions as
they are over any weekend, would
bo magnified over this holiday.
Mid-semester vacation, most
i.iudents found buses and trains
Mi-more crowded conditions even
tli an at previous times. Then at
ilia realization that another holi
day would offer more of tne same,
coeds put in their requests, and
the College authorities issued the
>-tiling that women’s dormitories
would remain open and the dining
commons would continue to func
tion.

In /Armory Backyard
Tor First Time
Probably the only marching
group without uniforms during
this wartime program, the Col
lege’s CODETS appeared on the
drill ground behind the Armory
for the first time yesterday.
Dressed in simple sweaters and
skirts, approximately 30 coeds
forward - marched, about - faced,
and dressed-right to the tune of
the commands of Lieut. George
G. Lucas, proud class instructor.
The class, which makes one
platoon, is divided into two
squads. Coeds alternate as pla
toon and squad sergeants, thus
learning the duties of the leaders.
Formed as a preparatory pro
gram for government woman re
serve organizations, the CODETS,
Coeds Organized for defense
emergency training, became ac
tive with the initiation of two
courses in the Fall semester.
Although the course expanded
to include six classes for the cur
rent semester, it will decline to
five for the Summer, according
to Julia G. Brill, Liberal Arts
vocational advisor.
CODET 4, the drill class, meets
three hours a week and was form
ed primarily to instruct in the
elementary calisthenics of mili
tary life.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Heads Rally
Adele Levin, WRA president,
together with Elizabeth J. McKin
ley, WRA Club activities chair
man, are acting as co-chairmen of
the WRA Red Cross Rally which
will be held in White Hall from
7 until 10 o’clock tonight.
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.
IWA to Hold Dance Friday
IWA, Independent Women’s As
sociation will hold a recording
dance in Atherton Playroom from
9:30 p. m. until midnight, Friday,
according to Norma R. Stem, pub
licity chairman.
WRA Staff Invites Women
To White Hall R&d Cross Rally
WRA Red Cross Rally will bet
held in the White Hall gymnasium
from 7 until 10 o’clock this eve
ning, according to WRA President
Adele J. Levin and Elizabeth J.
McKinley, WRA Club activities
chairman
Admission to the rally will toe
coat hangers, cards, games, mater
ial, yarn, safety pins, tin foil, and
other things which can be .used for
defense, Miss Levin stated. Coeds
are asked not to bring magazines
for admission fees as scrap books
will not be made at this second
rally.
WSGA Senate has granted 10
o’clocks to all freshman coeds who
are planning to attend the rally. 1
More than 200 coeds attended the
March 17 rally to make it one of
the most impressive demonstra
tions of coed interest ever seen in
a project of this type.
WRA staff members and active
coeds are erecting several booths
at which varied activities will take
pla'ce. Alice Miller is in charge of
the refreshment booth. There will
be no charge for food as voluntary
contributions will be accepted. All
proceeds, including money collect
ed at this booth and projects that
have been completed, will be do
nated to the local Red Cross chap
ter.
Mrs. R. U. Blasingame, active
•town member of the Red Cross, is
cooperating with the White Hall
staff and WRA members in spon
soring this rally. Mrs. Blasingame
will contribute six-inch squares
which will be utilized to complete
a quilt that will toe donated to hos
pitals housing convalescent service
men.
Phyllis R. Watkins is in charge
of the knitting booth where
squares will be made to complete
a huge afghan which was half fin
ished at the close of the March 17
rally. . .
