(business. The committee is sup
plying transportation to and from
farms.
Men and women students who
have free Saturday afternoons are
urged by Miss Miller to partici
pate in the program (which is
really l more fun than work, she
claims).
This Saturday, the Rural Serv
ice Committee will help a farm
er in Pine Grove Mills pitch hay.
Interested students should sign
up at the CA office or simply meet
there at 1:30 p. m. The group
will return at 5 p. m.

WRA Swimming Club Plans
`Wheel of Fortune' Fun Night
Colver Asks Coeds
To Enter Teams
As the main attraction of WRA
Swimming Club's Fun Night will
be a large colorful wheel of for
tune, the club has decided to call
the affair "Wheel of Fortune"
Fun Night, announced Dora E.
'Colver '44, club president.
Spinning .of the wheel will de
termine the order in which 16
swimming events, including life
saving, water safety, novelty, and
diving skills, are to be competed
for. 'Competition will be in the
form .of teams, a member of every
team entering each event. Time
allotted to prepare for each event
will be one minute.
This is an excellent opportun
ity for sororities, campus organi
zations, independent women, or a
combination of all three, to enter
a team in what is expected to be
one of the most exciting and out
standing water
: contests held in
White Hall pool, stated Adele J.
Levin '44, WRA activities chair
man.
Teams may consist of from four
to six coeds, no one person par
ticipating in more than four
events, Miss Colver said. Those
who wish to enter teams should
sign up at the locker room bulle
tin board in White Hall this
week. It will not be necessary
to list the names of individual
team members until next week.,
If individual coeds not affiliat
ed with a team wish to partici
pate in the affair, they should also
leave their names at the bulletin
board and will be assigned to a
team later.
It is not necessary to be a good
swimmer to enter the contest as
events will range according to
swimming ability, Miss Colver
added.

' We l slte Women
The Brakes Are On;
Push Harder, Plea.4e
First pressure has been applied
to the brakes in an attempt to
slow down on extra-curricular ac
tivities. With a little more, stu
dents may yet survive the accel
erated program with few casual
ties. WSGA 'Senate held no meet
ing last night.
Feeling that there was no busi
ness which needed discussing, the
group dispensed with the regular
meeting. By next week there
will, no doubt, be enough accu
mulated business to make a meet
ing worthwhile.
Perhaps coeds are at last feel
ing the strain of acceleration, or
they may be realizing that there
is little sense in calling meetings
to find, after the last stragglers
arrive, that there was no. reason
for congregating.
A similar step has been taken
by one sorority. With little of
vital importance to discuss dur
ing the Summer, meetings are
scheduled every other week.
Some groups may feel that,
since they have always held meet
ings weekly, or bi-weekly, they
should continue the custom.
For those who are dubious
about the advisability of slowing
down their pace, at least a trial
could be given. If it appears,' af
ter dispensing with several meet
ings, that too much work has pil
led up, or that the group no longer
functions effectively, they could
again revert to a weekly basis. It
would do no harm to try this sys
tem as an experiment.
School deans have . emphasized
the need for diminishing extra
curricular activities for more con
centration on studies. Some acti
vities are vital, of course, and
cannot be dispensed with. Stu
dents can, with planning, allevi
ate the pressure of too much to
do in an accelerated time.
It's time to slow down gradual
ly to avoid unnecessary casualties.
Why not follow the -lead Senate
has taken?
Gamma Phi Beta will honor its
pledges with a Vic Dance in their
suite in Women's Building, Aug
ust 14. Pledge Trainer Marian S.
Owen '44 heads the dance com
mittee which includes Virginia K.
