instructors respectively, were in¬
itiated into Key Club as the third

‘No Men Allowed 9 Prevails
as Theme for Next Week
“No Men Allowed” is the slogan for PCC coeds as AWS launches a week-long cam¬
paign to interest the girls of the campus in strictly feminine activities. Joan Rydman, AWS
prexy, is hoping that the women students will find the week worthwhile as well as fun.
This is one time men students will have to fend for themselves as the female components
of the school learn about them-

sonalities, and the various job
opportunities to be found in their

dent. Shifting to an exclusively
woman’s field for the week now
in progress, Nancy and her com¬
mittee have planned many and
varied activities for all girls on
campus.
Monday, at 12 noon in HarBe-
son Hall, the week will start
off with a Boy Panel on the top¬
ic “What Boys Like in a Girl.”
During the same period in Har¬
beson Hall Tuesday, girls will
receive an individual analysis of
their outfits. Friday, coeds will
be invited to a fashion show, also
in Harbeson Hall. A film on the
WAC, WAVE, and other branches
of the women’s armed services
will also be presented by the
AWS board and cabinet.
ARTIST SERIES
CHANGE MADE
Change in tomorrow’s Campus
Artist program was announced
by Miss Isabel Smith today. A
movie, “The Barber of Seville”
by Rossini will substitute the or¬
iginally planned entertainment
by the Choraliers.
Program will be held at 12:20
p.m. in Harbeson Hall. Cancel¬
lation of the Choralier music is
due to the fact that nine mem¬
bers have contracted laryngitis.
“Previews of Progress,” stage
show sponsored by the General
Motors Corporation, will be pre¬
sented in assembly this Friday.
Show consists of a comparative¬
ly few examples of scientific
progress in the past few years.
Highlighting the* assembly will
be a demonstration of jet propul¬
sion in which a miniature jet
engine is placed in actual op¬
eration on the stage. Following
this demonstration, models of a
jet-propelled pursuit plane and
a buzz-bomb are driven at high
speed tfie length of the audito¬
rium, propelled by jets of com¬
pressed gas.
Another unusual attraction is
the making of synthetic rubber,
with no more elaborate equip¬
ment than two small bottles and
a funnel. This is produced in
full view of the audience in a
few second’s time.
The progress in lighting is
spectacularly shown from the
dim, yellow glow of the first
Edison lamp to the mercury va¬
por lamp. The mercury vapor
lamp produces a light one-fifth
as brilliant as sunlight and yet
is smaller than a cigarette.
Other demonstrations include
the story behind modern high
compression engines, the history
of how research men have learn¬
ed to control mechanical vibra¬
tions and a method by which
music is broadcast on a beam of
light.
This show has been seen by
over two million people in the
past two years. The Physical
Science Council arranged the
shown through the assistance of
James Meldrum, instructor.
Under the direction of Cindy
Jensen, the assemblies commis¬
sion schedules a wide variety of
programs throughout the semes¬
ter for the enjoyment of the
student body.

ed with the tradition, Club Day
is a Friday assembly period tak¬
en over by the various clubs in

inger, Nancy Norberg, Mike
Schon and Perle Swedlow.
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt will be
the opening speaker and Warren
Austin is tentative chairman.
Stated Perle Swedlow, interna¬
tional relations commissioner,
“The conference will follow as
nearly as possible exact UN pro¬
cedure and will try to capture
the spirit of the thing. It’s all
there — midnight caucuses, angry
arguments, polite name calling,
powerful oratory, Russian walk¬
outs, and the heavy responsibili-V
ty of solving problems of war
and peace.”
Object of the conference is to
let tomorrow’s leaders find out
for themselves why the UN does
or does not work. Continued
Miss Swedlow, “As soon as/ ev¬
eryone is adjusted to the role
that he is playing it will be easy
to forget that this is just a game
and believe for two or three days
that history is being made.”
Convention will be televised
and reported by Life. Trophies
will be awarded for the best
representative of large and small
nations.
