`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. Gilbert is in charge of
plans, with Dorothy J. Calah?n

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Highsmith Returns
Bringing Student
Views From South
By MARY J. 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.
