Judicial Penalizes
Coeds for Wearing
Shorts in Public
Because coeds have not heed
ed warnings and have appeared
on campus and in town wearing
shorts, Judicial has found it ne
cessary to enforce a ruling which
provides for the penalizing of
violators. This announcement
was made today by Mary Haines,
chairman of Judicial Board.
Shorts may be worn on the
athletic fields and to and from
physical education classes in
White Hall providing that coeds
live in a dormitory adjoining one
of the athletic fields stated Miss
Haines. When going from the
dormitories to the tennis courts
and when returning from the
courts, coeds must wear skirts or
coats over their shorts, warned
the Judicial chairman.
. _
Coeds may wear shorts when
riding bicycles on country roads
only. When cycling in or around
the borough limits, judicial em
phasises that coedc must wear
skirts or slacks. Women • going
to .i.cnies on bikec , irtmed to
wear skirts over their shorts un
til Li - ley travel outside the bor
ourh limits.
Eighth semester coeds who vio
lath this ruling will receive a 1
o'clock removal. This penalty
may be taken on Friday nights,
according to Judicial Board. Up
perclass violators will be depri
ved of their monthly 11 o'clocks,
and freshmen who break this "no
shorts on campus or in town" re
gulation will suffer a removal of
their monthly 10 o'clock.
Copies of this new ruling will
be distributed to the 'dormitory
hostesses by Monday, when it
goes into effect.
Atherton Hall .'Coeds
Replace Vegetables
Once in the dear dead days - of
the past vegetable gardens instead
of coeds flourished where Ather
ton Hall now stands.. In fact, the
College vegetable gardens ex
tended- from Park avenue to-Col
lecre avenue.
A. growing College forced. the
major portion of the gardens .to
move to their present location,
about a mile east of the dairy
[barns. A few plots remain near
Park avenue and Shortlidge Road.
Atherton. Grange, the Infirmary,
and the Stock Pavilion now stand
just about where early College
students planted .tomatoes and
cat bages.
• Programs of instruction and re
search were carried on in the gar
dens as part of .the horticulture
department's schedule. Outstand
ing among the products raised by
experimentation was the Bullhead
cabbage, perfected by Dr. Meyers,
now retired. It took Dr. Meyers
36 years of reasearch to produce
this variety noted for its yield and
uniforrnity.
The products raised in the Col
lege vegetable gardens are sold to
the coed Dining Commons, State
College grocers, the Nittany Lion
Inn, and private individuals. An_
nual sales rise to between $5,000
and $6,000.
During the growing season pro
jects include an irrigation experi
ment and planting . and •breeding
experiments on cabbage and. to
matoes. Previous work :.has pro
duced two stemless varieties of
- tomatoes. •
The food itself, produced in
these gardens, is a valuable aid
to the war effort. Students also
gain, valuable experience in the
vegetable gardens and after grad
uation help further the agricultur
al industry. Through the gardens'
research, further dividends are
paid to this industry.
Lady Engineers Succeed
Ninety "lady engineers" trained
especially for aircraft jobs at the
Collage are now doing every phase
of engineering and experimental
work drafting, liaison, metal
lurgy, blade testing and others—

Coeds on Collegian
Find Substitute
For Poker
An era has passed.
No one can say exactly when it
began to vanish. Perhaps it was
when Collegian • changed from a
daily to a weekly paper. Then
the staff, no longer faced with
the problems of publishing a pa
per every day, stopped working
until 3 o'clock every morning and
snatching its sleep on the tops of
the desks in the basement of
Carnegie Hall.
Or it may have begun when
coeds, once allowed to cover on
ly women's news, saw one of
their number become a Collegian
editor.
And just as no one can say
when the change began, so no one
can say when it was completed.
It may have been when - a' thor
oughly feminine coed became the
first woman sports editor. Or it
may have been this semester
when an all-coed senior board
took over the management of the
paper.
But none of these steps made
the change as apparent as a scene
in the editor's office one Friday
afternoon.
There •is a deck of cards in
that office that once was used by
staff memfbers in their moments
of relaxation. The games—well,
naturally the masculine favorites
of poker and black jack. Then
the office walls would echo back
masculine voices as they said:
"I'll raise you, put Up or shut
up."
"All right, I'll see you."
But this afternoon the coeds of
senior board were relaxing as
they played with the same set of
cards. The conversation consisted
of such remarks as:'
"I really 'shouldn't bid, but I'll
say two hearts."
"I bye."
The game was bridge.
An era has passed.

`Women Sensible
Summer Dressers,'
States Chemist
The harassed wife whose
choice of clothing has long been
the butt of her husband's jokes
can now afford to sit quietly back
with an "I
-told-you so" smile.
Dr. J. Fred Oesterling, assist
ant professor of textile chemis
try at the College, says women
today are "far more sensible"
than men in choice of hot weath
er clothing arid urged the male
sex to take a cue from their
women folks.
"Women," he explains, "would
never think of wearing heavy
woolen suits and winter shoes in
July. There's no good reason why
men shouldn't follow their ex
ample and be comfortable in
short-sleeved cotton or linen
shirts—and even sandals."
While many men insist on the
same .type of .clothing .the year
around, the majority, of women
automatically turn to cool pastels
and white—colors which _reflect
rather than-absorb heat.
All summer clothing, Dr. Oes
terling believes, should be able to
withstand water treatment, .and
be fashioned from moisture—ab
sorbent materials with a loose
weave to permit air passage. He
suggests cottons, linens, rayons,
and certain types of light weight
woolens.
