We, The Women
A Non-Sorority Unit
At Penn State?
Possibility that Grange Dormi
tory may become a unit for non
sorority women presents a new
problem to Penn State women.
Commendable action has al
ready been initiated with a com
mittee meeting with both fac
tions equally represented. Views
from the two sides were present
ed and conclusion drawn that
Grange residents discuss the
problem in house meetings and
later vote on the issue.
Decision must be reached be
fore the middle of May when
coeds draw for next year's rooms.
It is, therefore, imperative that
women students consider the
matter immediately and objec
tively.
Principle views, presented at
the meeting, include: •
PROS
Provide unification, initiative,
and leadership to non-sorority
women.
Promote feeling of "belonging"
and create interest in working
for a group.
Establish headquarters for in
dependent women.
CONS
Create rift between sorority
and non-sorority women.
Loss of free intermingling and
intimate contact outside own
group.
Encourage political growth thus
creating undesired element in
elections since real backing is
determined by self, not group. t
No matter what dormitory they
live in, all Penn State women
should consider the problem.
100 'Big Sister' Sheets
Distributed By House
Approximately 700 "big sister"
sheets for freshman and sopho
more women have been given to
WSGA House of Representative
members for distribution, E. Mir
iam Jones '43 town senator, an
nounced last night. All sheets
should be in the Dean of Wom
en's office by April 30.
A discussion on continuing
"twin sisters" or introducing
upperclass counselor's for trans
fers next year was held at the
House meeting following a report
on transfer orientation by Anna
Lee Carey '42. • •
