Have all you pre-pre-flight
1' iys got your green ribbons and
Mack bow ties yet? Well, if you
< ndn’t, you’d better do so right
.tway, because the women are
j'onna take over from now on.
They say they’re gonna be
iiugh, and you practically gotta
wear customs because you are
new here and still don’t know all
m e here to stay, and the coeds
are going to see to it that all the
newcomers obey them or else.
If you Army lads don’t follow
their orders, just remember that
the ratio was 214 to 1 in favor of
the men last January, but now it
Mis dropped down to about 1%
and still going lower. The femmes
are getting bigger and bigger and
the boys are leaving here faster
than Army’s coming in.
Looking back on enrollment fig
ures we find that an average of
.10 women were in school some
thirty years ago, but take a look
now. The men are almost swamp
ed, the gals are still coming in.
Now that you soldiers are hep
as to who’s boss around here, the
gals are gonna give you a chance
to get acquainted with them, so
that come April 10, you’ll be
ready for the shindig that the co
eds are putting on.
But first, a dating bureau is go
ing to be organized so that the
boys and girls can get together.
■Teannie Weaver is "’chairman of
this thing and along with about
eight other gals she’s going to
■send application blanks to all the
Army lads. Such dope as height,
weight, color of hair, likes and
dislikes, and all that kind of stuff
will be asked for so that they
can tell what two people acn cut
the rug together.
Then each barrack will be un
der the charge of a committee
member (the wimmen- like this
part), and dates will be arranged
through the gal assigned for each
barrack. All the boys will have
to do is call .up their Barrack
Girl and ask her to fix up a
date. Easy, huh?
The gals have got the ball roll
in.’, so how about you boys co
operatin’ when the time comes?

Surgical Dressing Class
Faces Housing Problem
By ROBERTA BOGER
Campus sororities have just
gone hog wild over the surgical
dressing program and the quota
of 183 million bandages for the
Red Cross has almost been filled
in the first few weeks of rolling
as Penn State’s serious minded
coeds have at last gotten their
chance to participate in war work.
Since most Collegian subscribers
read only the first part of an ar
ticle, that paragraph will serve to
save face for the lazy coed.
Here is the dope on what she is
doing to help the Red Cross, which
in turn helps our boys in the serv
ice. There are eighteen hundred
(1800) coeds enrolled in a class that
meets each Thursday night in 110
Home Ec. It seems silly to try to
cram all these women into one
small room—so here’s the plan
they devised.
An earnest appeal was published
in Collegian urging the coeds to
stop attending these meetings in
such large numbers. Thirty-six
was set as the maximum number
of selected coeds to be admitted.
The very next week, however, 120
angry girls stormed in. Now really
don’t you think such a lack of co
operation is hindering the war ef
fort? I
uiiiiiiiimmimiiiiiiiimiiiiiimiiuiiiiiiiiiimiiiuimiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiniiiumimmimmiiiiimimmim
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiii
(Note: Ten percent of this col-|
umn js dedicated to all Sports
women wherever they may be, an
other ten percent is dedicated to
Collegian’s Untouchables the
Proof & Copy Readers, twenty
percent goes to the Campus Red
Cross Drive, forty percent, of
course, goes to the landlady, and
the remainder is dedicated to all
those lads who owe the writer,
money but who found it incon
venient to make payment before
his departure.)
First of all, we’d like to re-plug
the White Hall Red Cross (Blue)
Rally (we couldn’t resist thumping
that third color in there). This
rally (noun) was held in the White
Hall gymnasium from 7 until 10
p.m. last night—according to Rita
M. Belfonti in Women in Sports in
last Saturday’s Collegian, page
three, column four.
Admission consisted of coat
hangers; yarns, tin cans, ear wax,
whale bones, hat pins, ball bats
and other articles which can be
used in some way for defense pur
poses. Food procurement at the
Refreshment Booth was free, and
there was no shoving, pushing,
scratching, or hogging in general.
We’d like to believe that.

That off our chest, let’s review
the week’s sporting results. The
Coke Contest between Kappa
Kappa Boom and Tappa Tappa
Sigh ended in a moral victory for
the sisters from Kappa Kappa
Boom after three exciting hours of
consumption. The sisters from
Tappa Tappa Sigh took on the
most cokes but the sisters from
Kappa Kappa Boom went to their
classes next day.
Monday night's foot-race be
tween second-floor Ath and third
floor Ath ended in a fight when
the girls from the second floor
learned that the girls from the
third floor had been previously
tipped off that the Air Corps lads
were coming in on the Bellefonte
Central.
There was quite a bit of fight
ing observed during the run, and
several girls dropped out with se
vere shin-splints near the freight
station. Several contestants had
their coiffures ripped off and were
forced to forego classes in the
morning.

tance carrier pigeon swimming
meet among coeds of Eastern col
leges show Penn State coeds en
trenched in a tie for top honors.
However, several pigeons from
outlying schools have not come
home to roost yet, and may change
the aspect of the final picture.
Deadline for pigeon returns has
been set for supper-time tomor
row, and those coming in after
that time will be disqualified. It is
believed in some quarters that sev
eral of the pigeons have been shot
enroute by starving citizens in and
around Philadelphia, and special
dispensation will be made for col
leges in that area.
Ag coeds defeated the keglers
from the engineering bunch by de
fault.
Sorority sisters defeated inde
pendent sisters in saddle-shoe
cleaning by default.
The Home Eccers took the Phys
Edders in archery by default. The
Phys Edders claimed the wind was
blowing too hard. WRA will han

A month from now, .the Frothy
Staff will treat what remains of
the foi*mer population of Penn
State to a stupendous parody issue
which no' doubt will be even more
of a slam to various publications
in this vicinity than previous is

will also be mimicked.
This monthly hunk of paper and
print should prove swell ’cause
half the Collegian staff is helping
to write the thing.
Frosh Debaters Debate
Freshman debaters made a trip
to Lewistown for nothing Tuesday
night. A heated discussion with
the high school students there on
the topic, “Federal Union,” was
pronounced a non-decision debate.
Too bad, too, because it was their
last debatte of the season.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
HE Nursery School
Holds Great Charms
For Domestic Expert
By SISTER BLATZ
Food and Baby Expert
After duly surveying the home
economics school, at the request
of the Women’s Editor, it is my
opinion that home ec majors spe
cialize in two things: children
and cooking.
At this particular point in my
life, the latter holds greater inter
ests, so most of the time was spent
looking over the food department.
One of the questions many
readers have asked is, “Is the
Home Ec School Here to Stay?”
Certainly, it is . . . one look at
all the food being cooked up and
any red-blooded male would vote
for increasing the yearly appro
priation to the home ec school.
Throw in a few more stoves,
more tables, triple the size of
the Maple Room, and the Col
lege will be able to compete
with the outrageous food prices
charged for meals in downtown
beaneries.
As for the children . . . well the
Nursery School is prospering. I
don’t recommend expansions in
this department because many
unforeseen factors become in
volved.
Instead of giving so much milk
to these tots, maybe they ought
to give some to the girls in the
dorms. No, on second thought that
would be taking milk from babies.

Girls could stay out until 10
o’clock and they did for the gala
Red Cross rally in White Hall last
night.
Even Adele Levin and Lizzy
McKinley were sitting around the
special, non-collapsible card tables
knitting and stitching. Also seen
behind piles of half-finished af
ghans and animal stuffing was
Dean Charlotte E. Ray, ably assist
ed by popular Mrs. Grace Hall,
one of the guardians of the Ath
Hall monastery; Miss Mildred
Lucey, girls' muscle manipulator,
and Miss Jean Swenson, who helps
the girls absorb some of the chlor
ine in the White Hall pool.
A new idea in rhythm-knitting
was in evidence to the Collegian’s
roving reporters as they entered
the inner recesses of the forbidden
SOCIETY
By REMONA and BENITA
Fashion Experts
It is not often that two alleged
sports writers get a chan'ce to talk
about women, let alone the clothes
they wear, but ye editor Woodsaw
loosened up and told us to go
home and dream about coeds, and
then come back and write what
we thought they were wearing.
First oC all, might we say this is
a very pleasing subject. For
months we have been standing in
a puddle of water up in the Rec
Hall dressing rooms, trying to
wrangle a story out of exhausted
athletes. That is all changed for
today. Why, yesterday we did not
write one sports story—left it all
up to Collegian coeds. (That will
be obvious when you turn to page
three.)
Following Mr. Paul Woodsaw’s
advice to get a dream on for the
night, we went down to Doggie’s,
but he didn’t believe we were 37;
so we had to get a coed-nightmare
via the Corner Room. Two burgers,
with cheese, tomatoes, pickles,
onions, relish, garlic, salami, whip
ped cream, and side covers of
bread proved the right subscrip
tion.
About 3:59 a.m. in the morning
the visions began to drift slowly, .
creepily, into our minds. Mixed
drinking regulations forbid any'
further advance.
Cadettes were seen in .their pink .
taffeta gowns, strolling leisurely
to their riveting machines . . .
Kappa Kappa Gams, with their
Petty Girl legs, were bringing
their weight down to a slim 220 in
White Hall, with dainty instruct
ress Articia Warnock leading them
through a weird conga line calis
thenics . drill . .' . the girls were
wearing those little pink things,
but Miss Hades gave us the go
sign before we could get an elab
orate description for our male
readers . . . with little or no luck
yet in getting some fashion news,
■we meandered towards the crowd
ed dormitories, and O boy . . .
after pushing Mickey Blatz and
Rube Faioon aside, we got a close
up look at the ferns who boast to
be the toast of campus ... be
tween the wee of us, we take Penn I
State Bessie.
Sorority coeds were having
house meetings last night frying to
decide the . appropriate “height
above knees length” for their sum,
mer frocks, and again we were out
of place . . . the hell with it, we
are going up to Beaver Field and
talk to Joe Bedenk about baseball.

hall. Just like a line-up of auto
matons, Penn State coeds were
dropping a stitch and adding an
other to the melodic tunes of “Flat'
Foot Floogie” and “Beat Me
Mammy Eight to the Bar.”
(Poor “Pappy” isn’t allowed in
White Hall—Ed.)
In - some of the most thrilling,
breath-taking matches played on
the White Hall- floor in years (At
least that’s what the janitor .said!
Say, what was he doing there any
way?) the gals from Kappa Alpha
Theta finally won a game or two
when the “B” squad took two out
of three hotly contested games,
from Ath Westites Carrie Crooks
and Katie Roberts. Lizzy Shenh:’
and Viv Martin outlasted the bar
rage for the Thetas. Oh yes, the
scores: 17-21, 24-22, and 21-15.
Liz Shenk won tout Katie Rob
erts played fair as the campus
sister blasted her way through one
of the singles matches, 21-11 and
21-18. In another knock-’em-down
drag-’em-out singles tiff Viv Mar
tin beat Carrie Crooks to a pulp,
21-17 and 21-17.
The Theta “A” team took the
floor to show us some real pong
ping playing. They lost - two
matches to AEPhis Daisee Kranich
and Eddie Bobnoff. Who were the
Thetas? Oh yeah, Gin-ny Seltzer
and Poiky McClellan. The humili
ating scores were 21-14, 12-21, and
21-14 in the Kranich-Seltzer set
to, and 21-17 and 21-17 all oyer
again in the Dobnoff-McClellan
battle.
One of the stitch-droppers over
at Mr. White's Gym asked us to
tell all hardy women hikers to get
their duffle bags ready for the hep
overnight hike, leaving White Hall
at 2 p.m. Saturday or whenever
