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.

What's Left
Behind . . . .
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.

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.
