J. OF W. SOCIAL AFFAIRS TABOOED
 ACCOUNT OF WAR

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, April.-Social functions at the state university have been stricken off the calendar in great numbers since the decelaration of a state of war between the United States and Germany. The general fectng among the students is that all entertainments should be either eliminated or Simplifed.
 The student board of control at it's meeting last week decided that small informal affairs already planned might be held but discountenanced any elaborate plans for entertain mcntS.
 The junior prom, which usually Is the biggest formal dance of the year, has been decidely toned down. Sev- eral other big dances have been can  ceIed altogether,
 The funds remaining as profit from the cadet ball held last Friday night will be turned over to the subscription fund being collected for the equip mcut and maintenance of the ambu- lance corps on the campus.

GIRL STUDENTS TOLD NOT ID
 WE'D PROTESTS

NEW YORK, N. r., April 22.-The girl students of the Tewksbury school in ScarSdale, N. Y., were advised the other day to refuse to marry pacifsts or men with pacifst tendencies. Fur ther than that, they were instructed not even to make friends of such.
 This advice was given by Mrs. Henry A. Wise Wood, national secre- tary of the National Special Aid so- ciety, in an address. She said that the existence of the war had brought American women face to face with a set of problems entirely new to the women of this generation.
 Speaker Defines the Coward
 In all recorded history" she said "there have been cowardly men who wished to be the protected ones and not the protectors. These cowardly men are against universal training and service because these things com pei them to defend the country, as well as the brave men who are willing to do it.
 "The coward is a historical char acter. Whenever there has been fighting to do he has tried to escape under some plausible name or other, In England he calls himself a con scientious objector,' and says he should not be made to fight. In the United States he calls himself a pacifSt, or a Humanitarian, and says he ought not to fight But coward by any other name is a coward still. Beware of him!
 Make Patriotism First Test
 Always throughout life remember that the man who will not defend his country will not defend his wife, his child, his home. Do not marry such man. Do not have such among your friends. Make the first test of the young men you admit to your ac. quanitance their patriotism. Carry this formula throughout life. No man who is not a patriot is to be trusted with woman's welfare"
