Students Hibernate During Final Week
A program of social events arranged before the shortening of the schedule has kept interested students doubly busy. The last few days before finals begin in earnest are being spent in intense concentration—on books, and society as society suffers.
A few entertainments, as the Blanks' dinner-dance tomorrow evening, the Rock Chalk semi-formal dance, and the Sigma
Kappa dinner Monday night, have been planned this weekend. However, for the most part, students will become hermits and hibernate for a week, at least.
Very little time for relaxation will be allowed between finals on the new four-day basis. The majority of students will be on the Hill this weekend, though not many will be in sight. Most of them need the library, or feel that they are more nearly in a state of concentration here than at their homes.
Plans for next semester are vague. One of the first entertainments will be the time-honored Zilch dinner Jan. 28.

Women Wanted As War-Time Chemists
Control work in chemical laboratories both in war plants and with various industrial companies affords unlimited opportunities for women chemists. Within the past few months the demand for women to fill the vacancies left by men called to the army has nearly doubled. Salaries offered are unusually high
Women with only five hours of college chemistry may qualify for work in war plants by taking only one night course in the analysis of smokeless powder. The University training program is designed to train women chemists for war industry. Women with 13 to 15 hours of chemistry including quantitative analysis can be of great service in war plants.
Many positions of chemical examination of food products and the ingredients used in food processing are open to women holding a B.S. degree. Fundamental training in analytical chemistry and an acquaintance with colorimetry and biological food chemistry are the requirements for war time dieticians.
Because of the war situation more women can be appointed for assistantships than have been appointed in previous years. With the present urgent demand for more women chemists for war industry, more money is being reserved for scholarship aid.
The chemistry department also receives many calls from oil refineries for women chemistry and chemical engineering majors. These women are employed and trained for technical work too difficult for the average tester.
The salary to be offered will of course depend upon technical training, but in no event will the offer be below $165 a month and may be as high as $190 a month.

Taylor Hall at Baker Burns; Students Attend High School
Students at Baker University are adjusting themselves to a new routine made necessary when Taylor hall, which housed the domestic science department and gymnasium, was destroyed by fire Sunday. The domestic science department will be quartered at the Baldwin high school.
In addition to the school's troubles the Kappa Sigma fraternity house was quarantined for a case of scarlet fever. Eighteen men live in the house and are under close observation. If no additional cases develop the quarantine will be lifted Monday.
The student body attended its first chapel since the fire yesterday. The meeting was held in the Gem theater in Baldwin. Dr. Nelson P.
