PAGE EIGHT WRA, WSGA Convention Delegates Return Penn State Women Lead Defense Work Delegates to the regional con vention of the Central Intercolle giate Association of Women Stu dents agreed that Penn State co eds rate first in defense work among the forty colleges repre sented, according to Nancy E. dosser '43, senior senator, and Dorothy K.. Brunner ’44, WSGA vice-president, who returned Sat urday. Among defense project sug gestions was the Bomber Scholar ship Plan. Under this plan, wo men students would raise $lOO,OOO, the cost of a bomber, to buy de fense bonds. When bonds mature, at the end of the war, dividends would •be used to enable former students, who left college to en ter the service, to complete their education. Additional suggestions included “cookies for rookies,” an idea for sororities, or other women’s groups, to bake cookies for army camps. To raise Red Cross mon ey, a festival climaxed by the choosing of a queen, may be plan ned.- • A- penny poll tax to raise proceeds and also to prevent bal lot stuffing could be included in elections. To supplant the petition sys tem, under which coeds request •student government nominations and committee appointments, it was suggested that an organiza tion be formed similar to “Links” at Ohio State, whose members serve on WSGA committees. Coed leaders voted unanimous ly to substitute the word “victory” for “defense” in speaking of war time projects. Compulsory orientation classes was the one suggestion for new students not in operation on cam pus, according to Miss Gosser. We, Uke Women Let’s Remember ‘Forgotten Women’ Coed debaters on this campus ■have always been the forgotten "activities women.” Their names seldom make the headlines; their activities rifte scant publicity. Only a few students realize the detailed research, the long meet ings, the numerous practices, which precede an intercollegiate debate. . Debating, to most people, is not exciting. It is bereft of the im portance attached to p: fticipation in student government and re creation associations. There are no gay practices as in dramatics; there are no nerve-racking dead lines to meet as in publications. Debaters must be sure and steady. While the cow barns rate front page in the big dailies, de baters quietly increase the in tellectual prestige of the College. WSGA Senate voted yesterdry to sponsor coed debating, provid ing Forensic Council agrees that men and women’s debating should be separate activities. The suggestion seems logical. Coeds, after all, are best rtole to judge how their own debating should be organized. AU-College Cabinet recognizes that WSGA is qualified to govern all coeds. There is no joint control of men and women’s recreation associa tions. Furthermore, if women m: tnage their own debating', coeds will be come increasingly aware of its importance—and the forgotten ac tivities women may be remember ed.
