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pledging work, 40 have withdrawn since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

back, open to anyone on the campus, is

giving. Anyone who wants to go is asked
to give her name to Miss Hibbard, Den-
bigh. The party will leave Bryn Mawr
for Devon-on the 9.41 train, everyone pro-
viding her own lunch.

Jumping Rope Suggested for Exercise

A Sophomore has requested that jump-
ing rope for 30 minutes before breakfast
be counted as a period of exercise. She
says she has gained 17 lbs. since she
came to college this fall and none of the
present forms of exercise help her to re-
duce. It has been suggested that this
could be signed up Ph.R., “Physical Re-
ducement”!

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.
