N»\\* Editor This Issue Women s Issue, h Juor - - Entered os second class mntt»r 'July f» 1914 At the post office at Stnte Colki'e Pa under the net of March 3, 1879 Tuseday, October 24, 1939 REVIEWING WHITE HALL THE QUESTION of using mite 'Hall— a thorn m the sides of campus leadeis for tome time—has once more come to the loreground '1 iiere is one definite statement, to be made. White lfall is a woman’s building And Ihe women who undeistand the situ ation would not have it otherwise Do we want men’s oigamzations to use Ihe building 7 No! Do we want Student Union dances to be held in White Hall? No' Do we want it lo be a place where women may bring their dates when the dormitory loblnes oveiflow? No, definitely no' l ie thorn that bothers women students is that they .themselves would like to use Ihe building more, 'they do not ask that eeeiv woman's organization on campus he given privileges, but they do ask that or ganizations which are not primarily social, which have no other place provided for meetings, and which comprise a reasonable mimbei of women students lie given con siders! ien when it comes to using White Hall. While it is regrettable that there is' not loom loi unoigunr/ed mixed groups and parlies, 'foi alumm associal 1011 s, fop office and faculty women, and for women’s small social oi ganuiitions—nevei theless, we giant I hat-there us no such room It one such organization or group were given privileges, there would be no end to D'e number of organizations and groups who would demand like pi ivileges. And one pi ivdege would lead to another and anoth ei and another, until there would not be e tough hours m the day to begin lo satis fy the demands Thus, there must be limits ’lhc building is small, and has as its first function the promotion*of women’s physic al ’ education and recreation. When these piogiams are taken care of, the remaining lime and facilities must be sparingly meted out, aml in such a way as hotlto interfere wiih the primary purpose.- For this leason, it is impossible to have the building used by non-fraternity men and their dates or foi any informal mixed groups not sponsored by women’s organi zations. The physical education depart is - trying to educate women students to use White Hall for healthful recreation in stead of attending their time conducting hull sessions in smoke-filled * dormitory looms If the building were thrown open to anyone and evetyone, this goal could never be achieved While ,t is unquestionable, that women aie not now using the Hall as-much as they should, it is also unquestionable that they will use it more and more When the pres ent freshmen are seniors, 'tlie Hall "will probably be full most of tlie time. White Hall, is, unfortunately, not a Stu dent Union Building. It cannot be made into a Student Union Building, And so, to Ihe men’s mgani/ations who would-like it use il for their socials and meetings, we can only say, “Sorry, no,” suggest that they start an earnest campaign for this much-needed Student Union Building, and promise whole-hearted support in such a (ampaign. To the administration, -we can only of fer our cooperation in keeping White Hall a woman’s building and ask that they co opeiate in turn by permitting women to use il as much as possible So once and for all, we would like to maJ-j -om demands clear: WE DO NOT WANT MEN TO USE WHITE HALL; WE WA'NT *’ n I tSE IT OURSELVES —H.L 0 BOOSTING P.S.C.A. LAST NIGHT, the Penn State Christian Association launched its annual campaign tor funds with which to support its count less social and educational activities ac tivities which reach an estimated total of of some five thousand students during the year. In the past, the Association generally has been successful in soliciting the voluntary aid of students .and faculty in carrying out its program. - The Collegian does not doubt-but that students and faculty who realize the man-. ifold opportunities which the association’s ' prograrrroffers ivill push the drive over the ' top again this year. j William E Fowler *4l Adam A Smyser *4l Arits L HefTeran '4l Penn State CAN Win “CAN" Wilson devoted a whole sports column in the last issue to tlie above caption What a waste of space’ If the Maniac weie evei so painfully double crossed, his resume foi the game would appear as follows “Assuming his annual Autumn position behind the eight ball, Animal Tiainei Boh ‘This is the jear’ Higgins led a Nittanv Pussy-cat into Slop flop Stadium somewheie in the Ithaca woods-The Pussy-cat was caught with its pants down by a r uipnsingly laige, feiocious Bear and is repoited to be suftenng fiom a horribly sciatched and mu tilated fannv " ■The Rains Came It was a swell tide to Ithaca The weathei was beautiful We stopped at the Dutch Kitchen and pitched a few down A gang of State kids weie thrive and we nevei heaid the Nittany Lion sung moie harmoniously Boy, it w’as swell The next morning we found ouiself m some freshman’** bed, but ( still don’t* remembei what house it was Anyway, things were still tops for we didn’t even have a hangovei.
