Statistics don't show it, but the reason for this lowered physical prowess probably lies in the fact that people today are doing more riding than walking; that college students are keeping late hours, losing sleep, and working with their minds (to a certain extent) instead of their bodies. Sucking a coke in the Sandwich Shop is obviously preferable to an hour's swim or a hike in the snow after staying up all night slapping a term report together. It takes less energy. But there are a few students who 'have found that some, good solid exercise does the trick even better. And they are not the men students either. There is .a. group of about IS coeds who have fiforrried a Body 'Mechanics Workshop which meets every Monday night, in the Body Mechanics Room at White Hall. This group spends a half hour or so losing its bluebook nerves on the bars, rings, and reducing .ma chine. Any one of them will testify as to the value of exercise for relax ation and physical fitness. Al though the group is in no way con nected with defense, it is doing its own meagre part to raise health standards. Maybe more students should give it a try, perhaps not as con cerns defense physicals, since that would take time, but only for the sake of feeling fit during exam week. —K. M. P.

Today good body balance and alignment accompanying the skills of standing, walking, and sitting are acquired by "thinking," neur ologists interested in body me chanics say. "Thinking" controls body bal ance by building . new neural path ways to •various body parts, thus deriving a sense of body balance. Penn State offers a course in Body Mechanics, teaching college women the utilitarian skills in modern, positive ways. Sciences used to attain the aims of the course are physics, contributing principles of mechanics; art, bringing in beauty and proportion; anatomy, giving correlation of body segments; and physiology, endorsing good alignment. A discussion of the fundament als of body balance begins the in formally conducted practice per iod. Illusttative material such as "Penelope," White Hall's skele ton, and muscles charts are used. Next students stand before mir rors and endeavor to put discussed principles into practice by ad justing their own bodies to a ver tically balanced plane. Walking is practiced; after whin, exercises are done ,to main tain balance in separate body parts. - The period is concluded in a recreational way by playing games and dances conducive to balance and rhythm development.
