Three Months' Record
Set by Babbitt, Rosser
Surgical dressings attendance
records’show that two coeds have
not missed a single Thursday eve
ning of bandage rolling for three
months. Coeds capturing the hon
„'r are Marjorie Rosser and Al
lene Babbitt.
A two months’ perfect record
has been set by Jane Magee, Nan
cy Coffin. Jean Clark, and Har
riete Lenker. Catherine Marco
lina has missed only one meeting
•jf the class since January.
Instructors of the class report
that 1590 dressings have been
completed since the driye began
in the borougn. One month ago
e 1 ass attendance was 34, last week
99 coeds attended. The all-time
high was set when 120 coeds and
Curtiss-Wright cadettes met in
110 Home Economics.

the men over there by buying the

We,
Look Over Jhe Rooms Now . . .
Know What You Want Then
With the semester drawing to
a quick close, with ' graduation
coming for about 150 coeds, with
the enrollment prospect of ap
proximately 300 freshmen women,
the rooming situation will once
more become complicated and
prominent.
Once more the floor plans of
the campus dorms will be put on
display, and once more, coeds will
make their room changes.
The three successive nights on
which upperclass women met to.
draw and select were headaches,
even when they were necessary
only one a year, Unless a lot of
cooperation is afforded the staff
of the dean’s office, it will be more
than a headache this time.
Next Monday the whole system,
begins. Next Monday, the first- set
of upperclass women will meet to
list room choices. . •
But women should start right
now to look the situation over and
to decide approximately where,
they want to live. They should
use this time to find out where
their friends will live and plan
their hall movements now instead
of when they are standing in line
for the selections.
This is the time to know the
dorms! This is the time to find - ap
proximate or first-choice, living
quarters. Then when you meet,
you know what you want and if
plans allow it, you can.get what
you want.
* $ .* #
Although lectures are available
to everyone on campus all the
time, the special ones, arranged
.for coeds and their needs or in
formation, should mean more
than an ordinary course of. study.
Added now to' the almost-com
pleted series of talks by Dr. Laura
W. Drummond, director and pro
fessor of home economics, to in
dividaul talks by visitors to the
College, to outstanding lectures
of faculty speakers, is another to
be presented this Monday.
Having attended a Washington,
conference last weekend, Miss
Julia G. Brill, Liberal Arts School:
vocational advisor to women,'.will
discuss post-war plans for the’;
country for any interested per
sons. The talk will be given to her
Liberal Arts class scheduled for
121 Sparks, at 4:10 p. m.
Admittedly, coeds know'little
about, the war, and its battles, and
action spots, let alone plans for
the world after the Armistice. It
is imperative, therefore, that they
come to such' lectures and discus r
cions as this to learn and under
stand to a 1 slight'degree,, at least,

what officials of the government
have in mind. * * *
With the end of the semester,
student accounts will close at Stu
dent Union and Panhellenic’s
stamp pledges will be payable.
Not only have borne fraternal
groups represented on that‘Greek.
Council failed to pay last month’s
money, but some have not paid, a
cent towards the once-faithfully
pledged funds. A few have trouble
balancing their' accounts with the
government in this transaction. It
would seem that their consciences
would need much more than.
Although the amount of money
pledged is small, it is impertinent
that it-, be paid ’ regularly. Other
wise the purpose for which the
plan was.adopted is,lost. . (
Some groups have participated
in other projects and are continu
ing to do so for the duration. They
include- such wartime activities
as sponsoring refugees, needy stu
dents, and .groups of needy per
sons. ‘
. These are commendable ways
to spend money turned in by stu
dents, of the sorority. But, Panhel
lenic should be notified if these
are intended as substitutes for the
original pledge. ...
Panhellenic’s treasurer should
be told if the stamps are to con,-
tinue to iie in the drawers .with
out buyers.
