WATCHES ERG'S REPAIRING BOARD CONTROLS CO-ED ATHLETICS Women's Association Sponsors Intramural Competition Among Women A board of the Women's Athletic - Association controls athletics for wo men at Penn State. Membership in the general association is automatic on payment 'of a blanket tax during registration. A member of the National Amateur Athletic federation, the association does not sponsor intercollegiate com petition for women's teams. Rifle, having telegraphic contests, is the only co-ed spo s rt that is not entirely intramural in nature. The governing board which works with the director of physical educa tion is composed "of officers elected each Spring, the managers .of each sport; and two sophomores and fresh men elected by their respective classes and the board. Use Point System 'Sports are divided into major and minor, according to - popularity. The major sports have both varsity and class teams. In some of the minor sports only a varsity group is selected while in still others individual cham pionships dre competed for. For work done in athletics women are awarded points under a system devised, by the athletic association. Class numerals arc awarded for a certain number of points, and "S" sweaters and a loving cup, for the woman With the highest score, are additional awards. In addition to its athletic duties the association sponsors Freshman Week among the women first year students, a Field Day, and an athletic banquet, which closes the sports season. VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE GIVEN Guidance along vocational lines was offered last year to freshman and other - students by a service in charge of Prof. Robert G. Bernreuter, of the School of Education. This service will probably be continued this year. CITY SHOE REPAIRING CO. FIRSIO South Allen Street T! . —in quality .

The proclamation posted by the "Guardian Angels" of 1907 was print ed on cheap green paper and attracted attention with a "Hey Rube!" at the top of the poster. "You measley, young upstarts," it continued, "whose fond parents have seen fit to place ycu, their infantile offspring, into the gentle hands of the painstaking class of 1907, have ventured to show your verdancy where it must be endured • by your honorable superiors." "We realize how fresh and green you are," adds the proclamation, "and that these shortcomings are only to be polished off by a series of rubi eating and empurpling chastisements, by 'the lordly diocese of the sopho more class.
