'Be Natural,'
Greeks Advise
By JANE H. MURPHY '44
Naturalness is the key to a co
ed's success in the Greek whirl,
according to a sorority coed's edi
!lion of "How To Win Friends and
influence People."
For daily dutch treat coke dates
and informal gatherings during
free association, coeds look best in
ordinary school clothes. Cottons
and saddle shoes are tops here.
Open houses, which come on
Wednesday, June 25, and Wednes
day, July 1, are not dressy affairs.
Attired in campus casuals, frosh
land transfers may stay at each
house for not more than a half
hour, according to the Panhel
code. They may visit as many
houses as they wish.
To be "in place" at informal
parties during the week of July
'l3 to 17, it is suggested that those
invited wear cottons or silks with
spectators or sport heels. If invi
ti Lions specify other informal at
'tire, Greeks say guests should
dress as advised.
Evening gowns and afternoon
'ormals will be the thing at Pan
4iellenic's first formal coffee hour
to be held Saturday, July 18. Sum
iner frills and light colors will fill
the bill.
Chapel and church dates, pro
,,ibited last rushing season, de
mand hats, Summer silks, or their
equivalents; but with all, sorority
sisters count most on trimness and
personality.
Authorities state that when the
code specifies dutch treating,
women concerned should do as the
Dutch do. Greeks also urge that
coeds attend only one informal
party a night, and'that they RSVP
by 'phone on receipt of the invi
tation.
Covens Will Sell
Flowers At Dance
Carnations will be sold at the
Cwens Dance in an effort to save
corsage money and to make a de
fense donation to the WSSF, it
was decided at a meeting of the
sophomore women's honorary,
yesterday.
First semi-formal of the 'Sum
mer semester, the dance will be
held from 9 p. m. to midnight Sat
urday, June 27. "Here's your
chance to pay back those past
dates,". Mary Grace Longenecker
'45, president, suggested.
Using the center !front entrance
of White Hall, couples are asked
to buy flowers for "her" dress and
"his" lapel, according to Miss
Longenecker. The World Student
Service Fund, to which the—con
tributions will be sent, pro - vides
:for students in concentration
camps and others due to the war.
Dance theme will be a medieval
scene, characteristic of the annual
affairs, Patricia Deiner '45, deco
rations chairman, announced.
Theta Phi Alpha will entertain
patronesses at a tea at 2 p. m. Sun
day.

Women In Sports
With M. J. WINTER
WRA Co-Rec Day has received
a great deal of publicity, and it
deserves all it gets. So does ,Miele
Levin, in charge of the program,
and all coeds who have worked
with her to make co-recreation at
Penn State a reality instead of an
idealistic plan for a way to while
away - car-less Summer days.
Here in the Nittany Valley a
large group of active students are
gathered with little opportunity
to socialize except to frequent
movies, fraternity houses, and
make up their . own sports pro
grams. Often the golf course and
tennis courts are crowded to ca
pacity when students do get the
urge to play on them.
CO-Rec Day is helping to fill a
need for organized sports compe
tition 'between men and women
students. If enough students
come out this afternoon and show
sufficient interest in the program,
we urge WRA and other 'College
organizations to take their cue
and plan more co-recreation pro
grams during the Summer.
With emphasis throughout the
country on better physical fitness,
IWRA is doing with pro-
grams for a "Hale Penn 'State."
It may seem a little late, but
we'd like to bring to attention the
work of several students last
Spring. While other coeds 'were

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
picnicking, going to movies, or
just taking it easy, Ann Drivas,
WRA president, and Jeanne Irwin,
All-College tennis champion, spent
Saturday afternoons at Laurelton
State Village. They thought up
the idea of bringing planned re
creation to delinquent women at
the Village. Sarah Jane Jackson,
\Rosiland Nelson, and PSCA co
'workers helped in the work.
Results showed that the inmates
were delighted with the program
provided, and as a result, a perm
anent position for a recreational
teacher is being provided at Laur
elton.
More projects of this nature in
surrounding communities will help
give the College a more prominent
Place in the lives of the residents
of the state.
Vlle, 54e Women
Penn State Coeds
Fail Uncle Sam
While men all over the country
are preparing for war and !fighting
overseas, Penn State coeds are
calmly sipping cokes in the Sand
wich Shop or sunbathing on Ath
erton Ball terrace.
Yes, we are referring once again
to the lack of response given the
airplane and ship drafting courses
Offered by the 45ch00l of Engin
eering. •
For about a month now, poiters
have been on display in all cam
pus buildings, editorials have been
written, and 'pamphlets. have been
issued stressing the need for train
ed men and women in war indus
tries. These mediums are adver
tising a course in airplane drafting
with no prerequisites, and free of
tuition, fees, and equipment ex
pense.
To date, five coeds have been
interested enough to enroll.
Unable to present the course
unless 18 students register for it,
the engineering department has a
budget allowing them to buy
equipment for 48 persons.
We don't know whether your ap
parent lack of seriousness is due
to the usual fear of ' difficult
courses connected with the Engin
eering School, or whether you just
don't feel obligated in any way to
pay back some of the public born
education you have accepted up
to now.
Prof. B. Kenneth Johnstone,
head of the architecture depart
ment, insures you that the work
is not too difficult for men and
women of college calibre, and
claims that a similar course was
presented to high school students
last Summer. .
We understand, 'according to
human nature, that people are
selfish and very .rarely want to
"give" instead of "take." But we
wish to point out that by signing
up for these courses, you will not
only be helping to solve a problem
of vital national importance, but
learning a good life trade as well.
Enrollment deadline. is Wednes
day. You may register at Stu
dent Union or in Room 301 Main
Engineering. Classes will meet
whenever it is most convenient
for the majority of students.
You are under no compulsion to
accept offered employment at the
end of a course.
Reports from the Martin` Bomb
er Plant in Baltimore reveal that
trained persons are being employ
ed at the rate of 1,000 a week. Air
plane industries are baying train
ed employees average salaries of
40 dollars a week.
With a nine million dollar ap
propriation from Congress for de
fense training courses throughout
the country and with faculty mem
bers working overtime with little
extra compensation, we hope that
Penn State women will come
through . for themselves, for their
College, and for national defense.
