The,' music started. Two Dance
Club Members stood ready to di
rect the class. Announcements
had been made about the cam
pus. Coeds were looking for a
chance to be physically fit.
So two interested students came
to the Rhythmic Caleithenics
class one night this week. Of
course, that was a bad night;
there have been seven there. -
The program was begun as a
project to answer the requests of
women who wanted to be physi
cally fit for emergency days to
come.
• This isn't the first time that a
project of this sort has been well
organized, offered, then rejected.
Miss Marie Haidt, associate
professor of physical education,
pointed out last night that an
average of 30 coeds come regu
larly to use White Hall facilities
including pool, bowling alleys,
ping pong, badminton, rifle
range, and dance room. Ail of
which means that 1,746 persons
stay home, certainly not to study,
six days of the week when the Re
'creation Hall is open after class
hours.
Penn State can be proud of its
coeds its 30 coeds
Phys .ed faculty ,members say
that coed volition is at a ^low
ebb; that if things are to be done,
the student must be forced to do
them. The faculty can't plan
mere daily workouts for indi
viduals.
P;reparing for th.is •fitness
doesn't mean training on a tough
schedule (although that would be
4, good .idea in many cases).
It merely means substituting a
good healthful walk or some
supplementary exercises for the
usual hand of bridge.
We don't know what women
are waiting • for; but what they
might meet is quite evident:
standing up in factories daily,
,in women's camps,
pounding .a. typewriter eight hours
a day, or going to college under
an accelerated program.

?SCA. will cooperate with the
National Inter-Collegiate Chris
tian Council in studying 'what
great personalities have depended
Upon in times of crisis." Thirty
colleges and universities through
out the country will make similar
studies which will be compiled and
edited in booklets in March.
Committee in charge includes
James E. Hawkins '42, Robert R.
Dickey 44, M. Virginia Krauss '44,
and D. Jane Cromis '45. These
members have sent letters to 20
students who will compose the dis
cussion group which will meet in
the Hugh Beaver Room at 6:30 p.
m. each Monday for five weeks. '
At the first meeting, committee
heads will suggest the names of
12 famous men, one of which will
be chosen subject of the discus
sions.
After the final selection has
been made, notes on his biography
be discussed until a final re
port has been completed. Prob
lems• confronting these men, their
solutions, and adaptations that
will be appropriate to the average
student will be included.
Outstanding ideas and theories
from the reports will be organized
into the booklets which

distributed to service men and
college students.

For Campus Date-Seekers
By M. J. WINTER '44
"Short, brunette, good dancer,
and conversationalist." _
With a request such as this, a
date-seeker puts his order into
the Penn State dating bureau.
Telephones buzz,. files are re
ferred to, arrangements are made,
and finally—boy
,meets coed.
Sponsored jointly by the Penn
State Club and IWA, the bureau
is developing as it has in other
colleges. Started first by the
men's group at the College, inde
pendent women collaborated with
them last Spring to form a larger
and more efficient system.
Men who have little or no con
tact with coeds in classes have
found it difficult to make ac
quaintances of the dateable va
riety, and coeds, too, ofteri sit
home weekends for the same
reason, according to Marjorie A.
Magargle '44, in charge of . the
women's part of the bureau.
With office hours for men set
from 4:30 to 5:30 p. m. Mondays,
and 5 to -5:30 p. m. on 'Wednes
days, applications should be made
at the Penn State Club Room, 321.
Old Main. Each client's name,
age, description, religion, and
date preferences are filed on a
card. He sets the time for which
he wants the date and goes home
