PAGE EIGHT Dance To Depict ar Struggle Revolving around the dynamic factor of militaristic suppression and ultimate collapse, a modern dance conception of European conditions will be portrayed by concert and service groups in the Rhythm Room, White Hall at 9 o'clock tonight. Four coeds showing strength of movement have been chosen to represent the Army and its sup pressive influence on the border peasants. Costumed in black, fu turistic garb stressing horizontal lines, the Army will move among the contented peasants gradually checking activity within the borders. Peasant groups, dissenters, dis illusioned and philosophers lose all individuality and acquire mil itarized tendencies emphasized by severe costume lines and body movements. As the dance progresses, obses sion for authority overpowers the Army causing internal corruption. After the Army falls, peasants regain their freedom, but regi mentation influence still remains. "Patterns of - Our Days" is an original interpretation directed by Miss Jessie C. Cameron, assis tant professor of women's physi cal education. Veteran dancers in the philosophy group are Jean C. Craighead •'4l, Vera J. Palmer '4l, Dorothy C. Ellis '42, and Sel ma Solomon '43. The performance is open to coeds and women with invita tions. IFtrosh Coeds WEIII.6eI Week Dialling Priiiieges Finally freshman -women have won their privileges. Weary from studying for finals all' day, if they are lucky enough to find a man who isn't going to spend the eve ning with his math book, they can stay out until 11 o'clock. Unlike the freshmen of other years, they will not have sopho more status until next year. How ever, WSGA will grant 11 o'clock permission during examination week starting Tuesday to com pensate coeds who were denied Move Up Day.

Within two weeks, seniors will pass through the front gates to face "this changing world." Transitions won't be new to them because so many have occur red while they have been here. Enrollment figures have jumped, neN:v buildings have been erected, the faculty has been increased to meet the demand and the College has met national defense needs. More women - have been admit ted to the College. That in itself is noteworthy. Atherton Hall, housing.soo coeds, was opened, and glorified campus life became a reality. Still more dormitory space is needed—that was shown as room drawing closed this week. Steps have been taken toward better • faculty 7 student relations. Much more can be accomplished. Women living in town dorms have clamored for better phone service and a central studying place during the day to tie them closer to the campus. Interest for better sorority hous ing has risen and ebbed. We hope the subject is not completely en gulfed rat-chewed fire hazards are not particularity desirable. More honoraries have come to the front with worthwhile proj ects. Still more merely languish in their Greek titles. • Coeds showed their active in terest in current events first by knitting for the BWRS, ..then sup porting the All-College Cabinet war relief drive, and finally by initiating the Women in Defense program. Each, year has brought progress; each . class has seen improvements in the College. These additions are in the embryonic stage. When you return you'll see many more. 111111111111111111111111111111W1;1111011111111111111111111111111111 , WOE IN SPORTS ,1111111111111111i1111111111111111M11111111111111111111111111111111111 . Dear Hep: WRA Board wants to thank you for helping us during the year, and also to acknowledge appre ciation of your column. "So far, individual participa tion, a few projects, and Saturday night Open Houses have been the limit of Club activities," yes terday's column read. That is definitely not so! Total club hours this year, 7,210, tripled the 2.380 for Intra murals. Swimming club presented a successful First Aquacade; Bowl ing club had not only the First Intercollegiate Telegraphic Tour nament at Penn State, but in the USA; Archery club had its first telegraphic meet; Dance sponsor ed its First Nativity production; Rifle functioned for the First time in White Hall; Tennis will send the First Penn State representa tive to Mary K. Browne's Tennis Tournaments at Lake Erie Col lege; and Golf will send the First Penn State representative to the National Tdurnaments at Ohio State University. Far more WRA clubs' activities could be listed, but I hope this will correct impressions as to the real activities of our clubs. Sincerely, Ann Drivas. Club Activities Chairman Delta Gamma will entertain Alpha Chi Sigma at a dessert hour tonight.
