Friday, March 15, 1929 WOMEN Editor-hi-Chief Agnes E. Geary '29 . Assistant Editor Margaret M. Mercer '29 Associate Editor Bessie I. Wolfson '29 Junior Assistants Helen F. Faust '9O Martha J. Gobrecht '3O Grace M. Woodrow '3O SISTERS Junior girls are busy girls. They have problems of their own and heavy schedules, extra curricular activities, work, or a large social program make it difficult to assume the responsiblity of any one else's well being. College girls arc fre quently, and rightly accused of be ing too self-centered. A devoted family sends them to spend four glorious years at an institution of learning. They accept willingly. But what do they give others in return? A few years ago the big sister movement was begun at an lllinoi, university. It was successful and other colleges soon adopted the plan. Among these was Penn State Now almost every Junior has a Freshman whom she is asked to help launch upon a successful college career. She has an oppor tunity to help someone else Us ually opportunities for service are not hard to find But here is a definite little bit every girl gets` a chance to do without seeming to intrude. But many Juniors have failed The little sister did rot prove her type She was too much trouble. Have you ever thought that associations in after life will not be based entirely upon likeness of types Have you ever thought too that someday most girls will be responsible for directing the lives of others and that little sisters serve as excellent training? After all even if a selfish point of view is taken a Junior may do as much for herself as for her freshman by , such an association. To some Juniors simply taking one's protege to a party or so has meant doing enough. But girls who have considered the matter seriously have found a way to help fulness and often to friendship. G. M.

The plebes played circles around their more-ex perienced opponents, though the lat ter made defiant and gallant attempts to stop the flock of field goals which rained into the youngsters' basket. The biggest scorer of the evening was the Freshman forward, June Torrel, uho scored more than a majority of the freshman goals. The upperclass high-scorer was Kathryn Durborow, who dropped most of the Junior shots into the elusive basket. The game was another feather in the caps of the Freshmen who have not yet been defeated.

In proving his statement, the Dean pointed out that with the development of chemistry there has been less need for special raw materials and that more value is being secured from fun damental ran, materials, such as coal, natural gas, petroleum and tram. He referred to bakelite, a chemical composition, that is replamng such products as amber, hard rabbet, and porcelain As an emimplo of . the change. Bakelite, he explained, was made from formaldehyde, seemed directly from natural gas, and car bolic acid, a direct by-product from coal tar. "Another outstanding effect of the advances made in chemistry," Dean Wendt said, "is that successful cons ! panics expand in many daections. They are likely to combine into one company what are apparently &terse products and processes" As an instance of this diversity of production he cited a paper company it Ness Hampshire that is producing papa, cooking oils, and potatoes This company has gone into these fields of production in order to use the Nations by-products. In order to blench paper the col poration manufactures its own chlor ine. From this process hydrogen le mains and is used by the company to produce edible vegetable fats To secure the necessary vegetable oils the manufacturer maintains a peanut plantation in the South Through scientific study lie learns that peanuts grow hotter rf potutoe , Chapman Hard-Vein Slate For Lifetime Wear CHAPMAN SLATE COMPANY :I : .
