Editorial comment: This is just i
one of the projects of the Union j
and we fiel that il is a worth-1
white one. University students
have a chance to participate in an i
educational piogram and in a
woman's world it seems to us par
ticularly vita that mle con
sciousness of such events be de
veloped. And, although the need
for such an event as this may
mt be so evident in 1943, (after
all, nearly two months still re-;
main of Leap Year) we would !
like to point out that there can
never be too much ol such good I
things. j
See you Saturday don't be shy! j
