Itome Eccers Score
Over liberal Arlists
Mushball Feud
A hot, dusty mushball game
partially settled the friendly but
ever prevailing feud between
33ome Eccers and Liberal Artists
when the Home Eccers held back
the Liberal Artists, 20-17, yester
dLty.
Highest Home Ec hitter, Es
ther Hall, scoring four times was
closely followed by domestic
13annah Peebles and Elsie Rooth
who came home three times.
Marge Chambers, Home Ec
home run hitter, added two tal
lies to the Home Ec score.
Liberal Artists Lolly Dosch
and Bea Willey offered stiff
competition when each chalked
up three runs.
Attributing the Home Ec vic
tory to milk-fed years of outside
exercise and circumstances, Lib
eral Artists are waiting for an
other chance to show their skill.
Home Eccers merely shrugged
their shoulders, smiled sweetly.
Campus 4-H Club will partici
pate in the nationally observed
"Rural Life Sunday" service at
Site Presbyterian Church at 8 p.m.
iomorrow.
TPAs defeated ZTAs, 206-97,

We, The Women
Wanted! More Camp
Counselor Courses
By R. HELEN GORDON.
Women's Sports Editor
That coeds on campus are in
terested in camping is indicated
in enthusiasm for counselor's
conventions, with today's con
ference marking the third since
last spring:
First confab was devoted to
panel discussion on theoretical
elements of camping and includ
ed films and speeches. In the
fall camp leaders turned out for
sessions in arts and crafts, swim
ming and indoor games.
Aside from direct benefits of
the conventions themselves, oth
er results of camping interest in
clude inauguration of .an employ
ment center at the WRA office
for qualified camp counselors
and considerable exchange of
ideas among_ interested coeds.
But for the amount of interest
shown, the number of courses
and opportunities available for
progress in camping is practically
nil. Only one physical education
course, offered during the sum
mer, one nature education course
and one cooking course are de
signed primarily for the camp
counselor.
On other college campuses,
courses are given in counselor
technique, and pertinent aspects
of outdoor life in actual camps
conected with the institution.
Surely, in view of the present
status of organized and scout
camps, of the future of camp
ing, of the government's interest
in camping and the establishment
of numerous public and private
school-camps, Penn State should
offer courses necessary for the
progressive -minded counselor.
