We She Women Where, Oh - Where Are Chapel-Goers? Recent plans of WSGA Junior Service Board, to make announce ment of all forthcoming chapel speakers at hootrtime is a laudable move. Coeds have been conspicuous at chapel by their absence. And although Penn State boasts one of the largest Sunday chapel at tendances among eastern colleges, women have not done their share in helping to uphold this stand ard. The long .worn-out alibi . "the only morning I have to sleep" . . has lost its potency. Wide-eyedness on Sunday morn ings is an almost unheard of at tribute. And only coed choir members brave the ten o'clock alarm to attend chapel. • The thought that perhaps coeds were attending their own churches was considered and dropped hot potato fashion when town pastors reported a small minority of wo men students at regular services. Chapel . speakers include some of the nation's foremost theolo gians. They know their stuff, and are willing to share their know ledge, with students. Is inertia such an integral part of today's coed that she can't creep from under the mountain of blankets before noon on Sundays? Junior Service Board has t4c..en the first step to curb coed-wide laziness. The rest lies in the hands of cooperating women.- AAUW Announces Palm Beach Theme Palm trees, beach umbrellas, balloons, streamers, and an imita tion moon will aid the illusion that attendants are dancing and play ing on southern seashores at AAUW's flestival for defense in the high school auditorium from 8 p. m. to midnight Tuesday.

BUY DEFENSE STAMPS AND BONDS TEE DAILY COLIARGLOf Dormitory Days Change With Age A million dollar dormitory with dining facilities was far beyond the vision of Penn State - coeds a few decades ago. Carefully segregated in the• west wing of Old Main and. later in town houses, coeds did their own Cooking and liked it, according to a.history of women's housing. Time saw Women's Building, formerly called Ladies' Cottage, erected and McAllister Hall con verted from a men's dormitory to a women's.hall.. With enrollment of coeds.steaa ily increasing, Grange Membrial Dormitory was erected in 1930, thereby increasing accommoda tions on campus by 50 Per cent. All women on campus were then eating in a common dining hall, located first in Women's Building, later spreading out over the entire first' floor of MaC Hall: The cornerstone of Frances Ath . erton Hall was laid in June, 1938. Within a year, the million dollar structure which houses 5b3 ' coeds *was completed. Coeds moved into rooms color ed green, blue, tan, yellow,: or or chid according to sunlight distri bution. They discovered sliding closet doors and custom-built ma ple furniture. They found a tele phone in every room and located their private mail boxes. Two dining rooms with approxi mately 60 white-coated waiters greeted them.. Lounges with fire places, radios, pianos, and viotro las completed the picture. • Hunter College: A variety of de- Bucknell University: A newly tense courses among which are formed nurse's aid committee will cartography, map interpretation, : conduct Red - - Cross courses :in navigation, electronics, and statis- home nursing and sponsor an in tics are being- offered. tensive nurse's aid .course. - r • B I I \ • Ct ( y 0 0.0 -- "T 'E ' TILE II F THE BANDS" -E.
