Rationing In Relation To Colleges
We have been called upon to cooperate
•with the additional nation-wide food program
as announced by Claud R. Wickard, the Sec-
retary of Agriculture. In addition to the
coffee and sugar rationing, this program will
control the use of dairy products, fats, oils,
meats, dried fruits, and all canned fruits, and
vegetables. This will not have a noticeable
effect on our meals in the college dining halls
which have been carefully planned with sub-
stitutes for the ration products.
At least 25 per cent of the nation's food
stuff must go to our men in, the service and
to'Our allies. However, our duty concerns
' Nl^Sif viAVfisfii'i' 'not only V;'hat we eat in the dining hall bul
what we buy down town. Our share of these
products have been secured for us by the
college. V/hat v/e buy of the rationed goods
down town is over our share.
College Aims Rejuvenated
We have just returned from a Christmas
holiday, which was probably the most cheer-
less in our experience. The very atm-osphere
lacked the traditional Christmas spirit. ' The
absence, often for the first time, of many
men friends, brothers, and sweethearts, made
the pressure of a v/ar time holiday season felt
more poignantly than it has been since last
December. However, a .determined brand of
gaity was evident for most Americans found
it impossible to enjoy the usual effervescent
festivities and substituted calm good will.
The sobriety of the manner in which Christ-
mas was observed this year is indicative of
ihe spirit in which America has determined to
achieve victory. Our nation, as a whole, has
abandoned boisterous carelessness for the du-
ration to settle into a serious effort to earn
peace. We, as are other college students, are
obligated to n:iake every effort to cooperate
with our government in spirit as .well as in
defense work. As a new quarter and a new(^
year's beginning, v;e now have an opportun-
ity to "pull in our belts" and determine that
our men in service shall not do all the fight-
ing.
Our class work here is more pertinent to
ourselves and to our country now than ever
before because America so vitally needs
trained women to fill vacancies in almost
every field. Our campus also offers us op-
portunities to participate in Red Cross and
civilian defense work—important phases of
our life at GSCW. We can no longer afford
to be content with half-measures at ©Ither.
We owe these United States', and ourselves,
our beat—our utmost.

Priorities (iutter Closet Space
By JEWELL WmiE
This is the story of a sad disappointment.
Once upon a time, we ^thought for a very short time that
one tremendous convenience had resulted from priorities,
but it hasn't. For years we have wondered what to do
with extra coat-hangers. Of course, we could sell them
to an establishment which specializes in the rejuvenation
of wearing apparel for'the stupendous sum of one-quarter
of one cent each, but after we had made the necessary
trips "down" to take all of the extra ones, our profit was
eaten up in half soles. We could have allowed them to
clutter up seven-eighths of our closet's space indefinitely,
but with closets the size they 'are,, it was aboslutely impos-
sible to hang up our dress when we did that. Our coat
hangers were to us what old razor blades were to our
brothers.
. Then came the lovely day when a skict returned from the
cleaners dragging a cardboard hanger behind it. Ah,
bliss! "Now," v;a thought, ,"we can throw away the card-
board one and use up one of those little pieces of wire
which has been annoying us." But, oh,_no! Sister sud-
denly remembers the paper shortage and positively re-
fuses to allow us to lay a -malignant hand on that precious
article. Oh, well, we still dream of card board hangers,
becoming as common as paper handkerchiefs disposa-
ble things are so convenient. The "use once and throw
away" slogan has such hum'an appeal. The dear child
snatched our little piece of triangulr card board and gave
it to the Boy Scouts.. We gave up our tender dream of
finally finding a non-nuisance coat hanger for the duration
for we could still use those ultra extra wirecontraptions.
"Ah, ha! Who's been messing in our closet?" Well, well,
well. Mother had given all our "ultra-extras" to the scrap
drive along with Dad's razor blades. May the saints pre-
serve drawers!

CAMPUS FASHIONS
V
By THE DARK LADY
And I suppose no matter what kind of wars
come along there will be articles on fashions
and people who read them. You've had this
said' to you before, but, "We are at war and
you don't realize it." Prob^ly not—neither
do i at lease we don't if actions still mean
anything.
We are. still subject to the influence of fads.
We still buy new sweaters when old ones
would do. We still buy scarfs, pins, brace-
lets—no they don'tcost much individually but
when we add it all up, the result is startling.
"And you want us to around in sack cloth
and ashes?"
"No."
"Well, we have the money. Why not
buy new clothes—or pins or bracelets? Just_
because this world has gone mad, do we have
to go in mourning?"
"No, just think a moment."
It's hard, actually to realize that our "fifty
centses," and our "dollar ninety eights" are
going to help us win this war any sooner but
they will. Every war stamp we buy will help
get those we love home a little sooner. Hadn't
we really rather have that than a sweater like
the girl down the hall?
Of course there will always be some
people who will be careless when the world
is trying to save. We don't suppose that can
be helped, but believe us—they will be mark-
ed, because—for the duration, it is fashion-
able not to be* fashionable.
Tuition Free Courses Offered
There is a great demand in the Govern- .
ment for civiHan junior enginees. Women •
with college degrees in any field may now
qualify for junior engineering positions in the
Federal Civil Service by taking a short tuition
free course, it was announced by the United
States Civil Service Commission.
This course has been developed' by the
U. S, Civil Service Commission and the U.S.
Office of Education as a part of the Engneering,
Science and Management War Training Pro-
gram, to prepare women for engineering ac-
tivities in order to supplement the rapidly
diminishing supply of male engineers, many
of whom are entering the armed forces.
Arrangements have been made for any
institution offering college engineering train-
ing to gve the course, provided a sufficient
number of persons enroll. It may be given
as a 10 week, full time day course or as a 27
week evening course covering 320 hours of-
lecture, recitation and problem work, in such
subjects as engineerng computations, engi-
neering drawing, elemenjary mechanics of
materials, surveying, and job processes an4„ l^\
methods. ,
Persons who successifully com|plete the
