Jobs ...
There's a job opportunity in Washington for
college girls that is underrated that of house
wife. The state of affairs here is better than it
may seem. There are nine men for every ten
women, a figure authenticated by the Census
Bureau. A more heart-warming prospect than
the one-to-four ratio sometimes claimed. Most
recent figures show the District of Columbia
area has a low marriage rate, but no lower
than a number of others, including the states
of Delaware, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania
and California, strangely enough.
At any rate, Washington men are fair game.
And not rationed yet.
The President's recent executive order to
federal agencies has important implications for
college students. Briefly, the purpose is to con
vert government to war work and that speed
ilyby loosening hiring requirements, and by
facilitating transfers from agency to agency.
This means greater efforts than ever will be
made immediately to put college people into
jobs for which they are trained. And if they
find their jobs do not suit their talents, the
order makes it unnecessary for them to get
their superior's permission to transfer to
another agency so long as the agency to
which they are going is considered more im
portant than the one they are leaving.
Previously an agency could hold its employe
who wanted to transfer. Some bureaucrats
clung to the prerogative despite the urgency
of war work in other agencies.

The general concensus at the Louisiana State
University is that there should be more and
better student-faculty relations. This idea was
brought out in a mental hygiene forum dis
cussing professors and their methods. Vitamin
pills were recommended for professors who
almost go to sleep in class. A definite student
faculty relations program was suggested to
serve to break the ice between students and
faculty.
t
Minnesotans are soliciting every student for
contributions to help the men who are fight
ing for the allies. The war service drive has
as its slogan "dollars for doughboys" and as
its objective the raising of the $3,000 to be
distributed to the campus war chest, war
prisoners aid, United China relief, Russian war
relief and World Student Service fund.
The sugar ration situation was aptly dis
cussed in the Daily Texan, by the following
article entitled "Stay As Sweet As You Are."
A part of the article follows:
"You can quit taking the sugar shortage
with a grain of salt. If you don't believe
your sweet tooth is in for a long, hard era of
sweetless malnutrition, just drop into the
Union but take along a sacarometer so you'll
be able to tell whether your tea or coffee has
any sugar in it."
A sign in the Union reads: "By order of
your government, sugar will be rationed be
ginning April 27. From this day on our sugar
supply will be half of what it was in 1941.
This must cover ice cream, pies, jelly, jam,
pudding, cakes, bread, and all general purposes."
The order also does away with almost all
Civil Service Commission examinations. Hiring
will be done on the basis of training and ex
perience. One thing about the order, in case you are
interested in long-term employment: new em
ployes have no assurance their jobs will last
once the war is at an end.
War ...
The Government is bringing the problem of
shortages to the college students' door by way
of consumer conferences, co-sponsored by col
leges and the Office of Price Administration.
Theyvare being taught to be cagey "conserv
ers" as well as smart consumers. The Chicago
conference, March 2 through 7, in which 20
colleges participated, is a case in point.
Similar sessions are in the planning stage.
Specifically those at Western Reserve, Vassar,
Goucher, Denison and Central YMCA. There is
a possibility two more area conferences may
take place, one on the west coast and one in
the mid-west.

This bureau had no such material
collected for distribution, but was
sufficiently impressed with the
idea to contact the British Supply
Council, who sent the necessary
information.
To further impress upon stu
dents the value of good nutrition,
the Union is sponsoring an exhi
bition of comparative British and
American meals to be shown in
the main lobby of the Union. Ex
amples of a British wartime

fast, and a poor American break
fast, and similar exhibitions of
other meals have been planned by

With only one more week-end
left before the last stretch of final
cramming, everything from the
famous Goldrush party of the
Sigma Nus to the Pi Phi hayiide
and Jimmie Lunceford had to be
squeezed in this one to-heck-with-study
weekend.
And about this notorious party
of the "Forty-niners" styled a la
Sigma Nu, Don Anawalt imported
a York college brunete beauty in
for it Gretchen Otto. Don had
been giving Kappa Nancy New
branch the rush of late, but we
understand Nancy didn't feel de
prived as she was having fun no
end with Ph Psi Phil Morgan at
tthe Kappa-Psi Psi exchange pic
nic Saturday night. .Another good
combination at the aforementioned
party was Bobbie Stoops, Kappa,
with George Gilmore . . . And good
combinations at the Kappa-Phi Psi
exchange were Spence Porter and
Judy O'Conner, and John Cook
and Sally Busch, naturally.
Riding on a Hayrack.
Ridin on top of the hayrack of
the Pi Phi's Saturday night were
Bill Long, sauve Thi Gam, and
Mary Larkin, for one couple, and
Kappa Sig Bob Kerl and Miriam
Weller for another. Kerl gave up
his own Kappa Sig picnic to
Linoma Beach via truck yesterday
for the hayride, but today Miriam
will go Kappa Sig way to the
Sweetheart dinner with Kerl, of
course.
At the Turnpike casino Friday
night swinging high with Jimmie
Lunceford was a former Nebraska
Innocent, now in the east, Grant
Thomas, Sig Chi, with KAT
"Oolie" Anderson. Another Theta
at the Pike was new prexy Sydney
Ann Gardner with Phi Psi prexy
Dave Wolcott. Barbara Alpha Phi
Morehouse was there with Dave
Andrews, DU, as were DG Jean
Donley and Jerry Abbinhaus,
Farm House, and Pi Phi Sayre
Webster and Beta Harold Salis
bury. . .Triple Deltas at the Delta
Sig formal Friday night at the
Broadview country club were Pat
Huning with Clyde Davis, and
Mary Jo Kobes with Bob "Boxing
Champ" Garey.
Pins Are Still Newt.
Pins are still in the news this
week-end, and this time it's the
diamond and three starred pin of
Frank Mattoon, now chained to
tthe Gamma Phi pin of Treva
Muchmore. The Gamma Phi's
were wondering who'd be the
thirteenth one among them to
wear a fraternity pin and now
since they know, they're positive
"13" won't prove unlucky here.
...Another pin the sword and
shield in this case, formerly owned
by new Innocent Fred Metheny,
is now in the possession of Mary
Helen Farrar, Theta. Congratula
tions to both couples.
KD's Party.
The Kappa Delts were another
group that chose this week-end
for a big affair by holding their
closed house party last night.
Dates included Janet Betty Kinney
and Harlan Liggett, DU, and Jean
Ferris and Warren Sahs, Farm
House. . .Sigma Chi Bob Patterson
certainly isn't giving Helen Jean
Sornberger, Gamma Phi, time to
think about anyone else despite
the fact that he's out on the west
coast. Helen received me of her
many long-distance calls i'-om him
again the other night. Nice fellow,
Patterson.
What really is a choice bit to
end this column is the story about
Frank Meroney, DU. It seems as
though Frank had a date with
his home town steady for the
Pharmacy formal last night, but
decided he wanted Janice Babcock,
of the Gamma Phi Babcock twins,
on his dating list this weedend. So,
by a telegram, Meroney informed
the home town sweethart thpt he
would be out of town. Then, this
Is what happened: Friday night,
the "steady sweetheart" blood
hounded via the telephone the DU
house, the Gamma Phi house, and
the Turnpike, and at this last
mentioned place, after public an
nouncement was made, tracked
him down. The "steady" wanted
to know, "Was he or wasn't he
out of town?"
