Stamps Distributed War stamps will be distributed to dormitory, sorority, and league house representatives this week, ac- cording to Nora McLaughlin. general chairman of JGP. Sorority representatives may pick up their stamps from 3 p. m. to 5 p. m. tomorrow in Miss McCormick's of- fice in the League; league house and dormitory representatives from 3 p.m. to 5 p. m.

Outstanding sophomores are appointed to junior night editor posi- tions, and then plan page make-up and supervise the writing of head- lines.
