S \ I lummill Summer is demanding a perfect tan—The new bareback dresses in cool colors are made for coeds that worship the sun fil SMART SHOP THE COLT N.GIAN We The Women With summer firmly establish ed and finals looming up in the near future, the problem most coeds face is simple—" Shall we return for the summer semester or take that vacation that looks so tempting?" Possible solutions to our problem are conflicting. The accelerated program is of fering coeds a wonderful chance to save a year and a half and to graduate at an age which pre-war students would have deemed im possible. Important opening s for women in many fields are at a maximum and will continue to be numerous until World War II veterans return to claim them. To some coeds this seems the practical answer. But the will is often not enough to put coeds through eight straight semeisters with no adequate breathing spaces. The grind is hard, courses are being stepped up, and vacations are decreasing in number and length. In some cases physical condition will pre vent women from returning, and in others continuous study dulls the brain and the urge to learn turns into the urge to get out of the place with a piece of card board known as a diploma. Rumor has it that the coed en rollment for next semester will take a noticeable drop. So it looks as though we have decided that a vacation is in order. What to do with the vacation is another problem. Present con ditions frown on a summer spent in loafing and acquiring a tan. There are many ways for college 'omen to utilize their vacations. Defense workers,. nurses' aides, office workers are all In demand, and aside from providing val uable practical experience, sum mer jobs relieve the monotony of attending classes. Whatever the decision of coeds about the approaching semester, the important thing is to make it count. Too many men are dying and too many women are doing .men's jobs to allow us to gaily throw away four months: Dancers Stage Review Modern Dance Club will pre sent a Spring Semester Revue in the Rhythms room, White Hall, at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday evening. All coeds are invited. • Included in the program are exercises and techniques; a group modern dance number, "Pa vanne;" a Polka by Shostakovich with Katherine Mendun as soloist; and a chorus cowboy dance.
