Sunday. 1::MIM:1 NEW COED HEAD—Dorothy K. Brunner '44, WSGA vice-presi dent, will replace Margaret K. Sherman '43 as active WSGA president at the beginning of the Fall semester. she'omen `No!' Says WSGA; Here's Why, PSCA We wish that the members of the PSCA Old Main Open House Committee could have been pres ent at the meeting of WSGA Senate last night to observe re action to their request for a re mittance of two dollars to help defray open house expenses. It wasn't the sum of money in volved which caused the top wom en in student government to vote unanimously to refuse the request. It was a principle. According to the WSGA repre sentative to the Open House com mittee, absolutely no agreement of financial aid had ever been discussed. WSGA had fulfilled its part of the agreement by furn ishing ushers and . games. Confidence of the student body is paramount to the successful op eration and continuation of the PSCA on this campus. This con fidence will never be secured so long as the association persists in making students doubt the in tegrity involved in- its actions. The "surprise" blackout, al though successful when judged from usual standards, in one sense was a complete failure. According to advance reports, major purpose of this blackout was to be a test of citizens' ability to act under emergency condi tions, with no forewarning. Yet blackout curtains were placed in campus dormitories Tuesday morning or afternoon. Coeds were expecting the sirens to blow Tuesday night. .Prema- 7 ture erection of the curtains had spoiled the surprise. . If students are to be• trained to act under emergency conditions, we suggest that they be trained completely. Why couldn't coeds be taught -to put . up these curtains —not hours before the blackout, but when the sirens give them the first and only warning. Women in England never re ceive advance warnings. Why should Penn State coeds? Pledges To Entertain Kappa Kappa Gamma pledges will entertain pledges from each sorority at a tea from 4:30 to 5:30 p. m. Friday. Freshman Julia A.

MALNAR '45 "Peace after the war seemed to concern students primarily this Summer," Miss Agnes Highsmith, associate secretary of the PSCA, said on her return to the campus after spending six weeks at Blue Ridge College, 'North Carolina. Miss Highsmith taught repre sentative students from about 30 southern universities methods of student work, spent much time in student counseling, ' and outlined activities. "Defense work in the univer sities of the South is very much the same as it is here," Miss High smith stated. "However, they do more direct work with the USO." Recreational activities includ ed over-night hikes and excur sions to Mt. Mitchell and neigh boring recreational places, Miss Highsmith pointed out. From the mountains of North Carolina, "Pete" went to Georgia where she spent some time at her home in Baxley and the remaining time at Sea Island. Southern college students, while attending classes and engaging in activities, stress physical well-be ing more than anything else, the traveller noted. "Georgia has had hotter weath er this Summer than at any time in the past 74 years," Miss High smith said, "and every day many people were treated in hospitals for illnesses from , the sun. That's why the students are keeping up their health as well as their class work." MisS Highsmith spent her fin al week doing research work in the Columbia Library in New York before she returned to the College.
