Freshman Girls, Use Your Budget,
Hot Dad's Pocketbook. Here's How
Sweaters And Skirts
Still Lead Wardrobe
By ALICE MURRAY
-■ As a preventative against a
bankrupt father and a worried
mother, here are a few hints on
"Which clothes make the woman
at Penn State.”
What with so many smart out
fits and accessories bewildering
you by the magazineful, the big
gest problem is to remember your
budget. . But before the college
shops get the better of you, here
are a few words to the wise.
Sweaters, skirts, and jackets
are not only the nucleus or your
wardrobe —they are it, so you’ll
want to match or contrast them.
Don’t fall for a divine new shade
of sweater that can be worn only
with one skirt. Two or three of
each will do.
A classic wool dress will serve
a million, purposes—on dates, at
teas, chapel, and football games.
Black Silk Is Tops
There’s nothink like a black silk
to make one well-groomed on all
occasions. Buy one minus the
folderol and choose your own col
lars, belts, pins, and necklaces.
As for coats, you’ll never be
sorry with a reversible or plain
cut warm coat and hurricane cloth
topper. For dress wear fur coats
and jackets are nice, but expen
sive, and you can look just as
chic in a fur-trimmed one.
... A classic hat of felt, wool, o*
gabardine can be worn with any
thing. Large wool scarfs are a
must for rainy days.
Always there’s the _shoe prob
lem. Saddle shoes and spectator
pumps come in mighty handy, for
all occasions. In motherly tones,
we add don’t forget your rubbers.
The snow and rain fall fast and
often in the Nittany Valley.
Take Ankle Socks
Happily you won’t need but a
few pairs of sheer silk hose and
plenty of socks. A confidential
tip—Penn State men don’t like
high socks.
For evening wear one formal
and' one semi-formal or dinner
dress-are sufficient. If you have
a fur coat or jacket, a wrap is un
necessary, but a long wool eve
ning coat is tops for this chilly
climate.
Gloves—wear bright- ; mittens
anytime, anyplace. Pigskin, too,
is an all-purpose glove.
Broadcloth, cotton, or flannel
pajamas fill the bill best with soft,
comfy slippers that-a trip to the
shower won’t hurt. ■ You’ll need
a robe or housecoat.
The cautious coed goes in for
underthings that don’t need iron-

neatness-' are bywords and don’t
forget that you can run your ward
robe problems over to the clothing
clinic sponsored by the home eco

of the faculty hold a consultation
service for all coeds and are only
too willing to advise the correct

the arrangement of a new hair-do.
Speedy Increase
Shown By Women
In 68 years enrollment of wom
en students in the College has
jumped from six to 1,743!
As the Agricultural College of
Pennsylvania in 1863, the school
enrolled 142 men. Not until 1871,
twelve years after the founding,
did six women register in the Col
lege.
When the name was changed to
The Pennsylvania State College in
1874, there were 124 men and 29
women enrolled. By 1880, 47
women were matriculating in the
College. After this time, coed reg
istration dropped to 22 in 1890,
and 9 in 1900.
1910 marked the beginning of
an unfaltering increase in women
students, for, of the 1,662 students
regitsered for regular sessions, 46
were women.
Ten years later there were 261
women enrolled in the Collegee.
This number increased to 726 by
1930 and 1,023 by 1935.
Due to the expansion program
at the College which included the
building of Atherton Hall in 1938,
1,473 women were enrolled that
year.

First Nine Days of 2nd Semester
Set for Formal Women's Rushing
Women’s formal rushing season
this year will be held the first
nine days of second semester, the
same as last year, according to
Panhellenic Council’s new rush
ing code.
Relationships between sorority
women and new students during
first semester will be confined to
four weeks of open rushing which
means that affiliated women may
entertain freshman and transfers
in their rooms and may be enter
tained.
A Panhellenic tea to which all
sorority women, freshmen, and
transfers are invited will be held
from 3:30 to 5 p. m. Saturday,
September 28, to assist in the ori
entation of new students. A fea
ture of the four-week period will
be a Panhellenic Stunt Night,
Friday, October 4, at which soror
ities will present competing skits.
With the end of free association,
October 9, comes a period during
which freshmen and transfers may
meet sorority women only at open
houses held every other week un
til Christmas vacation.
“Open House” means that sor
ority houses are open to all fresh
men and transfers during that
time. The only limitations are
that no "invitations will be issued
by sorority members for these'
parties and that a freshman
or transfer may stay in one house

there will be no open houses and

fice to all of these affairs. Rushees
may also be entertained at the
movies and in eating places both
on and off campus except over
the weekend from 5 p. m. Satur

weekend period is called a silent
period.
There will be another silent
period from 9 p. m. Thursday,
February 13, until 5 p.m. Saturday
day, February 15, preceding the
formal dinners.
Culminating this year’s rushing
will be two formal dinner parties
given by each house just before
bids are issued. Invitations to
these parties will be distributed,
and freshmen and transfers may
attend two since the first is held
from 5:30 until 7 p. m. and the
second from 7:30 until 9 p. m.
A strict silent period will be in
effect after these dinners until
rushees receive bids from the Of
