Co-ed Should Think In Joining Service
Continuing their drives for volunteers, the WACs and the WAVEs along with the other women's auxiliary services, through their recruiting campaigns, provide temptation to "help win the war" to the average college woman. The smooth blue uniforms of the WAVEs or the strictly G.I. khaki clothing of the WACs probably add a shot of romance, promise of adventure and glamor to the thought of joining one of the services.
In allowing the various recruiters of the several services to campaign on the campuses of the nation's colleges and universities, the institutions of higher learning do not necessarily endorse the appeals or promises of the services, nor do they advise any woman student to join or not to join. The recruiters are shown every courtesy available and are allowed to hold their drives with a minimum of disturbance in the general routine of giving and receiving an education.
Though the recruiters say their principal objective in campaigning on the college campus is to draw only the attention of the graduating seniors, girls who would quit their education to join for the duration certainly would not be frowned upon.
Women considering joining one of the auxiliary services should give the matter considerable and serious thought, remembering throughout that no branch of the service for women is as glamorous as it must be painted in a campaign to recruit material. On the other hand, however, it should be kept foremost in mind that the services are doing a good job in replacing men going to active combat.
A woman should consider her individual personality, her likes and dislikes, her physical being, her future as a civilian, her opportunities for promotion in the service, and many other things before even making the initial application for enlistment. Once sworn into the service force, the woman has enlisted for the "duration of the war, plus six months," and would find it next to impossible honorably to retrieve her former status as a civilian merely upon the desire for it.
Woodruff, Ulmer Attend Meeting
Dr. L. C. Woodruff, registrar, and Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean in the College, left Sunday to attend a regional conference on postwar education, in Madison, Wis.
Credit for military experience, guidance of returning military men, the displaced student who will return to school after the war, and the education of veterans will be some of the topics discussed at the conference. Colleges and universities from the North Central states will send representatives.
Dr. Woodruff has just returned from a two weeks' visit at Iowa University and Iowa State College. Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, and a conference of the National Association of College Registrars in Chicago. He and Dean Ulmer will participate in panel discussions at the Madison conference. They will return to the University Wednesday.
Maintenance of a single soldier overseas requires about sixty-five pounds of supplies per man per day.
Rock Chalk Talk
The DG pinning of Sarah Jane Worsley to Sigma Nu Don King went according to tradition Monday. And after dinner the line of DG's started filing past to plaster King with regulation kisses.
Back for the week end were Betty Van Blarcom McGee with Phi Delt husband Howard McGee, Mrs. McGee was early in the line, but Howard, it seems, remained in the guest room to finish packing, Coming out of the guest room, McGee found himself at the end of the line but, oddly enough, stepped out just before reaching King.

It is sad to relate, but here are the facts: Phi Kappa Psi will be unable to attend the Dandelion Day festival Wednesday. It seems that Randolphus Superflexus Musciidaffy (a kindred kid) has passed to the Great Beyond, and the brothers out of the sympathy their hearts contain, must remain home in silent commemoration.
"Well," he admitted later, "I was going to shake hands with Don as a matter of course, but the closer I got, the more afraid I was that he'd kiss me just from habit.

French Film Will Be Fourth Forum's Movie
"Crime and Punishment," a French film adapted from the famous Russian novel by Dostoyevsky, will be shown free of charge at 7:30 Thursday evening in Fraser theater by the Student Forums Board.
This masterpiece in psycho-analysis has often been filmed, according to Joy Miller, chairman of the Board, but this French version, directed by Pierre Chenal, presents the Russian novel in its most effective form. Pierre Blanchar is cast as the morbid student, Raskolnikov, and Harry Baur as the cunning police inspector.
Background music was composed by Arthur Honegger.
