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.

Sophomore Edicts
Mild Compared to
'O7 Proclamations
Freshman proclamations today,
gently reminding the yearlings of
their duties by rhymes printed on
Multicolored posters, arc considerably
milder than those issued by the sopho
mores twenty-five years ago.
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.
A list . Of thirteen rules follows. The
freshmen.are' advised not to use to
baccd since 'green things don't burn
and they shouldn't smoke."
