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.-

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.

My 'sex life used to be terribly, .
terribly undeveloped, Miss Dix. •
But That's -all gone now. I no
longer have to read Lydid
Pinkham and sigh for 'success:.
I've got it—and I do mean that
capital. I used: to be shy and.
unassuming, but now I bounce:
one off. their beans .when they •
don't behave. ' Then I've got
them. Their interest awakens.
They say: "Hah! Here's a'.
smooth job with spirit!" So
then I• act tougher and do they,
fall! I don't let up; so they
chase me until I catch them.
And between you and me and
your syndicate, Mrs. Dix, I got ;
