i= osonchvdonmeene song srl . pecially that of the Red Cross Committee, has been to increase their —? nearly 100 per cent. Last year, up to Thanksgiving, the Red Cross workroom, open only. in the eve- ning and not on Saturday, averaged an attendance of 18 workers per day. This year the room, open afternoons, evenings, and Saturdays, shows attendance of 35 per day. During the six weeks before Thanksgiving last year the total number of workers was 568, compared with 732, who have come during the four weeks of Red Cross work this semester. The impetus which conscription has given to knitting machine work resulted in the instalment of two new machines. Six workers can be accommodated every evening, as contrasted with the two per evening of last year, and the output, in spite of some irregularity of attendance, has been correspondingly great. Knitting sweaters, and other hand-knitting, which cannot be counted for conscription, has suffered. Tnder conscription 110 workers signed up this fall for work at the Community Center, as contrasted with the 50 or 60 who volunteered last year. Of this 110 pledging work, 40 have withdrawn since conscription has been abolished. The Junk and War Salvage Committee owes to conscription more. regular collec- tions, according to a statement by B. Warburg, chairman: The number of workers on the committee is the same as last year. For the first time, under conscription, undergraduates have done typewriting and filing for the Department of Social Research. The typewriting has been done chiefly on government work in con- nection with an investigation of married women in industry which the department is carrying on. Several war courses have been part of the conscription program. Seventy stu- dents have attended a class in typewrit- ing, and others courses in Social Better- ment and Civilian Relief, and Record Keeping. HIKE TO VALLEY FORGE FRIDAY A hike from Devon to Valley Forge and back, open to anyone on the campus, is being planned for the day after Thanks- giving.

UNDERGRADUATES WANT DATES OF CHRISTMAS VACATION CHANGED Pian Involves No Loss of Academic Work A movement to change the dates of the Christmas vacation in order to avoid the necessity of coming back on a Friday was launched at a meeting of the Undergrada- uate Association last week. It was sug- gested that the vacation should extend from Friday, December 20th, to Monday, January 6th, instead of from December 19th to January 3d as the dates now stand. This plan would give an extra week-end without the loss of any aca- demic work. D. Chambers '19, L. Wood ’19, and M. Carey ’20 have been appointed by the Un- dergraduate Board to discuss with Presi- change. NEWS IN BRIEF Dr. Leuba spoke in chapel last Friday morning on Proportional Representation.
