Women Alone in Reception Line To Greet "Little Leap Year" 1944
Nineteen fourty-four will be Leap Year.
Therefore, it will not be out of order when entirely feminine watch-night groups witness the arrival of the thinly clad youngster.
Since the military trainees on the campus are denied the privilege of the New Year's Eve celebrations, and without the men, no parties of any magnitude would be considered advantageous. The big campus party is set for Saturday, New Year's night, instead of eve.
Every day will be Sadie Hawkins Day, according to American tradition, and little 1944 is supposed to be the messenger that brings the women the privilege of proposing. That the dance committee is headed this year by a woman has no bearing whatsoever on the fact that the big party is being given at a time when women have the opportunity to pop the question, but on the mere fact that Saturday night is the only time that the men can come. And men are the ones best trained to lead in the dance, anyway.

College Professor Forms Exam-Completion Theory
Hays, Kan., (ACP)—The best college students finish their examinations either first or last, says Donald M. Johnson of the Fort Hays Kansas State College psychology department. Mediocre students, he says, usually complete their papers in the middle third of the period.
