Taking a vital part in College
extracurricular activities, Summer
session women find time to show
talent in dramatic organizations.
Outstanding in the field is IVliss
Carolyn Cox, who will portray
Regina in the Players' presenta

weekend. (Miss Cox is a faculty

High School, Altoona, and was

Sometimes we wonder if it is
entirely the fault of students that
campus activities are not success
ful. According to reports, some
times the facplty shares the
blame.
With over 900 persons on the
resident College staff; it is diffi
cult for members of one depart
ment to become acquainted with
those in other schools. Members
of each school know their col
leagues—sometimes vaguely. •
Professors are no longer the be
whiskdred, antiquated characters
that have been depicted in fic
tion. They are active andi should
be alert to the interests and ideas
of those in other fields of work.
Yet, little effort has' been made to
further contacts.
Because of this condition, facul
ty fun nights have been planned—
and failed. At a recent get-to
gether, approximately 15 staff
members showed up. The atmos
phere was informal and could
have been conducive to comrade
ship.
Excuses might be given that
with the accelerated program, af
ter the day's work faculty mem
bers wish to relax with their fam
ilies. Yet, their families are in
vited to these affairs. Programs
planned are not strenuous. Those
who spend days in preparing the
events are enrolled in the accel
erated programs, too.

and taking from their associates,

the wedge which has grown up
between departments in the ta-.
culty and faculty-student rela
tionships.
Barriers are prepared to be
broken down. It is up to the fa
culty as well as the student body
to overcome the outmoded idea
that professors are in a 'world by
themselves. Or are they still
in that world?

Etiquette Comes
From Experience
Zang Tells Frosh
"I don't pretend to be an Emily
Post, but I do believe that I have
gleaned some facts about etiquette
from experience," Ruth li. Zang,
assistant dean of women, stated at
a joint meeting of the PSCA
Freshman Council and Forum last
night. "Everything can be so
much more fun if you know the
rules," she added.
• According to Miss Zang, intro
ductions are often awkward, but
can be made easy if persons treat
them merely as incidents. Poise
should
. be developed, she said.
In reference to dating, Miss
Zang suggested that promptness is
one of the prime requisites of a
good date. A good sense of humor
is a quality that both sexes ad
mire; Miss Zarig's definition of a
sense of humor •is "not being bored
with life."
"Along with being able to talk,
cultivate ability to listen," Miss
Zang opinioned.
One custom that is practically
non-existent at Penn State is ex
changing dances. Miss Zang be
lieves that an evening can be more
interesting and enjoyable when
dancers "change partners" tem
porarily.
!Miss Zang closed reminding
freshmen that co-recreational ac
tivities are on this week's program
and urged them to attend.
