Among- The
Lionesses
With HELEN R. KEEFAUVER ’44
Coeds, do you want to continue
to play tennis or golf or take
modern dance on Monday morn
ings? Do you want to learn the
crawl, backstroke, or life say
ing on Friday afternoons before
big dances —or would you prefer
to participate in sports at your
leisure and really enjoy them?
‘ The WRA Watchbird heard it
rumored that the majority are
in favor of the latter plan. In
view of this, a committee compos
ed of Dorie Stevenson, Skip Scri
vanich, and Peggy Good has for
mulated a plan whereby coeds
will become activity-minded, rath
er than sports-driven.
“Hale Penn State” has been
adopted by the committee and ap
proved by the WRA executive
board as WRA’s slogan for the
Summer semester. Each Club,
intramural team, and WRA-spon
sored activity will function under
this slogan.
Here's our chance not only to
show that a four-year compulsory
phys ed program is unnecessary
but also an excellent opportunity
for us to do our bit for national
defense—by keeping physically
fit.
If this be sentimentality, make
;he most of it.

ly composed and interesting in
textural values and the use of
light. Unusual in its textures also
is an English landscape by Christy
in the wood engraving technique.
Another wood engraving by Mills,
an American, makes an exception
ally vibrant pattern. Most inter
esting in this group of engravings
is a steel engraving by Austin, the
most important living engraver.
The sheet is practically bare ex
cept for four deer in the center. It
is simple but the line is wiry, elas
tic and yet extremely lucid.
A single woodcut is a decorative
abstraction by the American Fein
inger.
Among the prints by modern
painters are “Catholic Church at
Waterville,” a lithograph by
Adolph Dehn, a Rockwell Kent
lithograph of .an Eskimo dancer, a
farm scene by John Costigsn and
“Tatoo, Haircut, Shave” by Regi

For Teaching
(Editor's Note: This is the
third in a of articles bas
ed on reports from the national
government, discussing - avail
able positions for women.
By SALLY L. HIRSHBERG '44
It is estimated that a 45 per
cent to 50 per cent ’teacher turn
over will occur in rural areas of
some states due to war conditions.
For those students enrolled in
the School of Education, the above
figures speak for • themselves. •
There is danger that many stu
dents qualified to teach will be
lured away by higher wages in
such fields as business, industry,
and government. If this proves
to be true, standards may be low
ered by the necessity to take less
qualified teachers.
There is a great demand for
counselors, visiting teachers, and
attendance officers, especially in
defense areas, according to nation-'
al reports. An expected increase
in public nursery schools and
kindergartens to accommodate
working mothers, will offer, op
portunities to many education
majors.
Students well-versed in Spanish
and Portuguese will have little
trouble in getting jobs which
stress Pan-American understand
ing and cooperation.
. According to Miss Mary J. Wy
land, associate professor of edu
cation, there is a definite increase
,in educational jobs for women,
more vacancies being .in the ele
mentary grades.
