Femininity Reigns Over Date Clothes During Wartime
The khaki clad young miss who aids in defense effort during the day, and the blue uniformed women of the motor corps as well as all of her sister volunteers will let utter femininity reign supreme when the clock tells time to go out with her young man.
Whether he be a soldier, sailor, marine or aviator, milady will let the gentlemen wear his uniformed splendor undimmed by feminine warclothes when they go out for that social occasion.
It’s frills, chiffon, and colors, lots of colors for the new date dresses There is enough of the drab sameness during working hours, and therefore comes the change to brighter and more alluring clothes for women when the "all clear” on work is sounded.
Pastels will be especially good in California and dress lengths are zigzagging all over the place . . . now it is just a trifle longer in back. As zippers and fasteners become scarcer the new wraparound style will become more popular.

Abstractness of Values Stressed by DeatrJ Need for School Preparation Emphasize*
In the state of conflict forced upon them, universi women are looking about them in an effort to find th place in a world torn apart.
‘ We recognize the fact that the immediate job fore upon men is a difficult one, but we feel that the job women in a crisis is much more difficult, for we are at a loss to know what to do,” Miss Helen Hall Moreland, counselor of women, said in a statement issued yesterday.
With Dean Moreland as chairman, a general panel will be conducted Thursday at 3:30 in the YMCA house for Trojan women.
PANEL DISCUSSED
“The University Woman Faces New Responsibilities,” tirler this discussion which will be carried on by Mrs. Charles G. Milikin and Mrs. Dora Shaw Hefner, representing the university board of trustees;
Mildred Eberhard, ASSC vice-president, and Betty Lou Stone, YWCA president, taking the student’s view at the meeting.
Following the talks Charlotte Quinn will summarize the speeches.
A general discussion ensues with the audience participation open to all women.
Miss Moreland believes that the job of women in wartime is so much harder than the one of men that they need all the preparation they can get.
WOMEN’S JOB TOLD
Women’s duties in preserving sensible balances are abstract, making it more difficult to judge intelligently. Men receive commands and know the definite tasks assigned them. Women must determine their own values in thinking and acting upon a situation.
Classes in Red Cross work, first aid, air raid warning service, and morale are only portions of the campus efforts to help women adjust themselves to sensible, wartime activities. That they may act wisely and do their part in serving, as well as continue with schoolwork,
Thursdoy’s program has been planned.
Sorority, fraternity, and boarding houses are already adding their confidences to the unified organizations of defense work. Through their cooperation blackout precautions are being prepared, social activities are planned to include men

Sororities Prepare to Meet Crisis
Trojan sorority* houses will meet -the war with full fledged plans for combatting fires set by incendiary bombs, lending first aid to air raid victims, and preparing blackout rooms for emergencies.
In a meeting of sorority presidents with Dean Helen Hall Moreland and Martha Proudfoot1, Panhellenic president, plans were mapped for an emergency program in case of air raids. Each house will appoint an air raid warden, a fire chief, and a first aid chairman.
Each house will set aside at least one room to be used as a blacout room. Rules regulating the actions of members during any raid which might occur will be further developed.
While houses are being permitted to go back to the rules set forth by the deans office prior to the declaration of war, certain new regulations have been put into effect. Any men visitors must leave following the first raid signal.
