WE WOMEN
THE BEST SUGGESTION that has been passed around this cam
pti,, foi many a month is the one concerning an AU-College May Day
tom next yeas
A campus-wide May and Moth'ets' Day celebration would do
much to fin then the combined men's and women's college spirit Why
should arrangements foi part of it be confined to women ,
Not onh to pi omote school spit it but also for the good of the pro
giain its,ll, this combination would be effective Since WSCA now
contributes funds to the all-college government, it lacks its usual ll
ranee% foi women's activities As a result of this shortness, this
Neat it is impossible to even finance seatmg room fm the May Day
Audience
Anothei point is that having the men vote for the May Queen
would give them a pet canal interest in the fete and eliminate any
possible ci iticism of smority politics in selecting the Queen This
position could easily be added to the all-College and class election
ballots in the spi mg
With the ievision in voting, there might well be an entire reor
ganintion in the May Day festivities. The landscape architecture
oepaitment, for instance, could help with the decorations and plan
ning, men's and women's combined committees could utilive more
college facilities
Thew would be less chance for Inadequacies and inefficiencies
if the affan web ..all-College It would be scheduled and planned
with the respect due such a ceremony, it would be a college and not
merely a WSGA activitz, Together, the men and women could make
a Penn State May Day something to remember
The plan has undeniable possibilities, and at least merits con
saleiation for nest yew Added interest and a bigger, better, and
moie significant May Day could easily result What Is stopping it,
ANOTHER PLAN that needs revision and improvement before
being used again next yea' is the Big-Little &stet 'program spon
sored by WSGA
Fieshmen say they appreciate the advice and guidance of these
"big sisters" the fast few weeks of school Big sisters say they en
joy the association Yet lack of interest and cooperation on the
pall of both sisteis has cramped a worthwhile enterprise
Some big sisters have subjugated their normal helpful instincts
to sorority iushing If the freshmen they were paired with have
not looked like good iushees, they have abandoned them As a le
stilt, many fieshmen have been without the advice of upperebss
counselors and fiends
So another good idea will bite the dust, unless—and this is an im
portant unless—nest year's upperclass women give the plan the
cooperation and spnit it needs

Romig Third WSGA Head
To Be Narimecl May Queen
AY AR/TA L. HEFFERAR
For the third tune in the hi,story of May Day, a WSGA presi
dent will be crowned queen on May 11 when Jane Rotnig succeeds
Flotenee Allen '22 and Frances Turner '3tl m attammg both honors
When Miss Allen-Was crowned back in 1922, the women iwere
holding their first,out-of-doors May Day.., Before that tune, the festi
val had been held in the dining commons at Mac Hall, and no one
knew who was queen until she entered the room. Women wore wide
class ribbons across the fronts of their blouses to Identify themselves
The first outdoor May Diy was
held in the Open Air Theatre on
front campus where the trees
,hid
it from the eyes of men students
living in Old Morn who made fun
of the women's May Day fete The
queen was attended by two beau
ties from each class holding a
canopy over her head -, ,-
Held On Holnies,FAeld.
Maypole dances and, the!. hem
lock chain were'a part of the earl
iest May Days, and 'when the 'cer
emony was held on Holmes Field
between 1923 and 1932, th - O par
ticipants used the Stone-house as
a dressing room and the-proces
sion started frOm there.
The May Day festivals on the
front lawn of Old Main between
1933 and 1935 served, to perfect
the ceremony for the occasion of
Miss Turner's coronation in 1936,
President of WSGA, Women's
Editor of Colleglan,•Thespan stag,
and Mortar Board member, she
was a worthy choice' fog May
Queen And to add to the glamour
of the day, the Blue Band, played
and members of the lower classes
presented two English folk
dances
'An amplifying system, trump
eters, and the Honor Arch are all
newer additions to May Dm'
which should make•Misirltomig's
coronation 'this year one of the
best Penn State has seep ' ,
