White Hall Rated
With Best In East
Mary Beaver White Recreation
Hall, popularly known as White
Hall, is the women’s recreation
building opposite Frances Atherton
Hall. Miss Marie Haidt, head of the
women’s physical education de
partment, designed the building.
One of the best equipped in the
east, it contains bowling alleys, a
regulation-size swimming pool,
locker room, hair-drying room,
fencing room, squash court, body
mechanics room, play room con
taining six ping pong tables,
rhythm room, gymnasium, lobby,
kitchen, offices, WSGA, WRA, and
Co-Edition offices, and several
large class rooms.
Regular non-major physical ed
ucation classes are held in archery,
badminton, baseball, tennis, body
mechanics, dance, fencing, and
golf. Additional classes for physi
cal education majors are scheduled
in basketball, hockey, skiing, soc
cer, tumbling,, and leadership.
Paralleling the building of White
Hall has been the development of
Holmes Field which is used for
archery, baseball, golf practice,
and hockey. The hockey field,
formerly behind McAllister Hall,
has been moved to the rear of the
Home Economics Building.
As Miss Haidt likes to refer to
it, “White Hall is every woman’s
club house, and should be . consid
ered as such.”

Art Magazine Fealures
Article On Poor's Mural
After being featured in the Mag
azine of Art this month, the Old
Main mural painted by Henry
Varnum Poor has received addi
tional publicity in the widely read
Art Digest recently released.
The Digest states, “For many
years to come American art lov
ers will make pilgrimages to Penn
State College, out in beautiful,
rolling midland Pennsylvania,
there to view the mural in true
fresco which Varnum Poor has
painted in the College’s Main Ad
ministration building.
“The mural is a gift from the
Class of ’32 which took the revolu
tionary step of foregoing the' tra
ditional bird-bath and decided on
a fresco by an American artist as
its alma mater presentation.”
Peyton Boswell, editor of the
bi-monthly Art Digest, visited
here last June and observed Poor
at work. During his stay he con
sulted with Poor on material for
a new book that will be released
September 18.

We, The Women—
Do As We Say,
Not As We Did
Don't
AT 1:10 P.M. TODAY about. 345
bewildered freshman women will
leave dormitory rooms and stroll
along campus walks searching for
classrooms. All will wear bright
green ribbons and have name
cards pinned conspicuously -on
coats and sweaters.
These rules aren’t to inflict
punishment, frosh. We have noth
ing against you. We want to see
you coming a mile away so we
can welcome you with the “Hello
Spirit” and learn your names.
When your ribbons get be
draggled from the rain, remember
that WSGA rules are to help you.
The no-dating -regulation will aid
you to form good study habits and
to become better acquainted with
fellow frosh. During this three
week period you will want to at
tend parties planned for you by
various organizations and dances
sponsored by honoraries over
weekends.
Our student government is
strong and we are proud of the
efficient manner in which it func
tions.’We hope you won’t make
the mistake of thinking it is
smart to break rules. The regula
tions were not. imposed by faculty;
or administrative members but
by fellow students. They thought
the rules were good enough for
them so they should be good
enough for you. WSGA will be
sjnooth-working as long as you
make it so.
Of course Judicial Committee is
ready to step in to punish custom
breakers. But we have enough
confidence in the class of 1944 to
think that Judicial will try very
few cases. Don’t let us down. .
If your ribbon and name card
discourage you, just remember—
we wore them not so long ago aqd
now we’re glad!
