With (Editor's Note: This is the first in a series of articles dealing with personalities and activities of Summer session women. Publish ed each Friday, suggestions and information for the column may be submitted at The Daily Colle gian office.) By JANE H. MURPHY '44 For the third consecutive Sum mer session, the Pennsylvania workshop, a project sponsored by the state branch of the National Association of Secondary School principals, is on, campus. Open to graduate students with teach ing experience, the workshop is held in eight rooms on third . floor Old Main. Progressive education is the theme of the program which en ables instructors and administra tors to study definite problems of their teachirig situations. With specializing consultants, the stu dents do research work on their problems, following which, groups with the same interests hold dis cussion periods. With Miss - Mary Jane Wyland as director, enrolled graduates study such problems as Latin-Am erican relations, school magazines, guidance, general curriculum, aeronautics, and family living. Guest speakers each week dis cuss the generalities of the pro gram, and 11 o'clock general meet ings include panel discussions with students participating. Nine courses are offered to those enrolled, all of which are com pletely separate from the regular Summer session-program. Because each day's work adds more to the individual's progress, the workmanship is to be com mended for its improvement over the ordinary leCture course. 134 E. College Ave. Summer Session Women THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Decisions Backed By Coeds' Votes WRA Executive Board voted last night to discontinue in De cember its 50 dollar a semester subsidization of 'Co-Edition, wo men's weekly paper, announced Ann Drivas '43, WRA president. Miss Drivas explained that the WRA Board felt it would be un desirable to stop an activity in the middle of a College year and that iininediate action would com plicate WRA's budget. Referring to the action of WSGA • Senate on Wednesday night to withdraw immediately its subsidization of 150 dollars per semester, Margaret K. Sher man '43, WSGA president, ex plained that WSGA believes its action was justified after the ma jority of coeds voted to abolish Co-Edition. "I feel that conservation of time, money, and' energy is not something to be postponed," Miss Sherman said. "The time for every contribution to the war ef fort is now, not six months or a year from now. Proposals for. worthwhile uses of the money are under consideration and will be released within the next week." According to figures quoted last night by Miss Sherman, coeds voted 186 to 103 in favor of dis continuing the publication.

Parent, superintendent of McAllister Hall dining commons. Women have been bringing in their sugar rationing cards. But the line hasn't been long enough. There has been doubt in the minds of many as to the reason for turning in the coupons, and without a specific, reason, only half the number of coeds and Summer session students eating in . the dorm have complied with the ap peal. A similar situation exists in Atherton Hall. It isn't that women who fail to turn in books will be deprived of sugar; that Would be impossible. It does mean, however, that every coed's diet will be minus a 'little more sugar if everyone doesn't co operate. The dining commons did not in stigate the plea for ration books. The call came directly from the government. The reason for col lection of books is so that College authorities will be able to 'prove to the government that the amount of sugar they ask for is needed. Orders were, sent out from the ration board that dining com mons were_ to receice -the amount of sugar used last Summer. liow _ever, with regular session stu dents at the College this year, a great deal more must be used. It must be proved that the need for more sugar is justifiable. Only by having the,ration cards of everyone on file, so that they may be turned in for goVernment inspection, will a sufficient sup ply of sugar be, on hand. Cards 'will be returned to students at the end of the semester. . Women cannot be forced to comply with regulations; they shouldn't have to be. It is their patriotic duty to turn in cards. Or will they be content to drink black coffee and do without pies, cakes, and ice cream? Lakonides, women's physical education honorary, pledged Ann Drivas '43 and Winifred E.

Dormitory dining commons' sup ply rooms can provide enough to eat for the most insatiable apl. petites, at least for a while. However, according to Miss * lda M. Parent,•supervisor of Mac Hall dining commons, "No one knows how long we will be able to get the same things to which we have been accustomed.' . The govern ment takes supplies directly from producers to feed the . hoard' of armed men, and civilian con sumers must divide what is left." With supply rooms stocked with enough • imperishables for a whole semester, there are no pres_ ent shortages in canned goods. Meats, which are planned six weeks in advance of the dinner bell, are still available, but prices have sky-rocketed,, according to Miss Parent. . . Although coeds have shown a preference for plain roasts and cuts of meat, the dining commons head warned that stews and hash, usually avoided- in' menus, will make their appearance.by Winter. Transportation' tie-ups and shortage of farm • workers have raised prices on_ many types of food, making it difficult to get vegetables and fruits. Several weeks ago menus announced ber ries for dessert : three days in a row, -and they never ; appeared. They were not lost in Mac•Tialrs large kitchen, but the .train on which they. were ,being transport, : ed.' was sidetracked because ofd Army movements.

W "Everyone must • realize the current situation, and it is a little thing_ that we at the College can do to. eat and not grumble.".'Miss Parent concluded. FRIDAY, JULY 17, 1942.
