Calls were divided be tween men and women, and freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors in proportion to en rollment. Women Agreed The 13 women interviewed voted unanimously in favor of either of the two plans present ed. One freshman man, who did not mail his laundry home, was not in favor of giving up Co-op receipts. Sixteen others voted “yes,” and all 17 men favored the plan to charge five cents per package for mailing from the Co op in afternoons from 3 to 5 p.m. Two girls called commented they thought the complete post office plan at expense of Co-op receipts was better than the five cent service charge.

When Gasoline Rationing Comes When gasoline rationing conies, you will prob ably have to stop driving long distances, and you may be planning to travel by train instead. Ordinarily, of course, any railroad would be de lighted at the prospect of a lot of new customers, but these are not ordinary times, and we are frankly worried about what the consequences of gasoline rationing may be. We are carrying hundreds of thousands of troops, and there has already been a big increase in ci vilian travel because of the war. So far we think we have done a pretty good job. But there is a limit to our present capacity, and we cannot buy new passenger cars because of the shortage of critical materials. SO WE SUGGEST: 1. Please do not travel unless you feel you have good, sound reasons for doing so. 2. Travel during the middle of the week instead of on week-ends. 3. Please buy your rail and Pullman tickets well in advance of the day you leave. 4. If plans change, please cancel your Pullman space promptly so somebody else can use it. 5. Use Pullman space to its maximum capacity. If you reserve a bedroom, compartment or drawing room, share it with friends or business acquaintances (and share the expense). 6. Buy round trip tickets. Make your return res ervations at the same time. 7. Travel light, and take into the train with you only the luggage you actually need on the train. Check the rest. If we all cooperate, it will help to avoid any necessity of rationing train travel, too. S*P The War Bonds you buy now will help pay for a new home after the war. The Friendly Southern Pacific
