Keep Up The College Says Ramaley
Production Line
In one sense, Penn State is as
definitely a defense plant as fac
tories which producce tanks and
airplanes. The College must
furnish trained men and women.
The men will prepare for ac
tive service, while women must
plan to work on assembly lines
or take over administrative posi
tions.
What we hav - e said is not new,
but we need to remind ourselves.
With dances, rushing, football
games, and all the things which
are college, monopolizing our ac
tions and thinking, it is easy to
All freshman and transfer wo
men are reminded by Margret
K. Ramaley '44, acting WRA
president, to attend the WRA
Sports Rally scheduled for White
Hall gymnasium at 2 p. m. Satur
day.
Pauline Crossman '43, WRA
secretary, will serve as mistress
of ceremonies, as she starts the
program by introducing WRA
officers. Following this there
will be a presentation of skits by
club and intramural representa
tives dramatizing various WRA
activities. After students are giv
en the opportunity to sign up for
clubs, the program will continue
with folk dancing, a tour of White
Hall, and will close with serving
of refreshments.
• According to Adele J. Levin '44,
WRA activities chairman, clubs
will set up booths, identified by
signs, around the gymnasium.
Prr i ctice fcr skits will be held in
White Hall at 10 a. m. Saturday.
Immediately following the ral
ly, WRA is planning to initiate
new students in the art of "how to
become a good Penn State over
night hiker." A group will hike
out to WRA Cabin, a distance of
about four miles, to cook dinner
Saturday, spend the night, and
return Sunday morning after
breakfast.
All you need, says Miss Ram
aley, is 30 cents to cover the cost
of meals; a few blankets to keep
you warm; slacks, blue jeans,
jodphurs, or any clothes suitable
for hiking; and a little bit of en
ergy to get you there. Miss Ram
aley will explain the hike in
more detail n i t the Sports Rally
and will give students interested
in participating in the affair a
chance to return to dormitories
for proper equipment.
