A few uncom mon likes of the prospective frosh include sculptoring, flying, photo graphy, cheerleading, and design ing clothes. One voiced her abil ity to write "poor prose and worse poetry", while another expressed a desire to train and raise dogs. Present students indicated their interests to include . dancing, swimming, dramatics, music, and outdoor sports. While a large number of the ,upperclass women interested are in technical courses, representatives of the Liberal Arts School and home economics department have signed' up, Miss Carruthers said.

Convocation Today We she Women Will Actions Pace Initial Spirit? By their response to the call for Big Sisters, coeds have shown an awareness of the importance of the Fall freshman orientation pro gram. They have signified willingness to help find answers to questions which will be asked by 475 new coeds. We hope this spirit of willing ness develops into conscientious action. It would be fine if per sonal prejudices, sorority and ac tivities affiliations, and all the petty faults which have tarnished past programs, would be forgot ten and destroyed. ' _ We hope the actions of Big Sisters will be as commendable as their initial spirit. Physical fitness is not just a slogan one reads on defense post ers—nor should it be confined to men and women in military ser vice. Judging from the lagging pos tures, deep eye circles, and sus ceptibility to common colds, few coeds have done more than realize that physical well-being is de sired. They know that one should not skip breakfast, that seven to eight hours sleep is vital, that exercise is a good thing. • , Only a few ever obey the simple health rules familiar to grade school children. . With the final rush of bluebooks and term papers off to a good start, this is an unpropitious time to write of physical fitness. Although it may_ be too late to do much this semester, it's not too early to plan a physical fitness program k for next semester.
