Friday, August 4, 1944 It's Up To You All-College Cabinet's presentation of an informal "Sandwich Shop" variation in the Armory Friday and Saturday nights dur ing the semester appears to be a fair sized step in the direction of the realization of a Student Union building,, a hope which has been lingering in the minds of Penn State students for some time. The campus will probably not boast a Student 'Union Building until the, war will be a topic of discussion concerning things which happened "yesterday." Perhaps Penn State will never have a Student Union.build ing. But hope is a just, consistent weapon, and Cabinet gave the stone a healthy kick and sent it rolling on its way. There are two rough spots which the stone could pos sibly crush ,namely, uncooperation from the students in activities and mediocre student , faculty relationships. This plan of informal recreation will be a successful venture only if the students make an attempt to consider what Cabinet is trying to do and go to the weekly affairs. Entertainment will be furnished by organi zations as their contribution. Students have often expressed the complaint that there is so little to do in State College on week ends. An enthusiastic turnout at the Ar mory Friday and Saturday, nights will pro vide for a justifiable build-tip in the en tertainment department. Nothing definite has been slated, but the Thespian Masquerettes will possibly pre sent shows during the course of the se mester in this plan, and if interest Evens, other organizations - would logically work up something commendable so that a night at the Armory would be anticipated. Since members of the faculty will be in vited, students will have the opportunity, of which there is few, to drink a coke with professors and discuss sensible topics. It would offer the students a chance to ex press their views to the faculty and also an interesting change from the reverse situ ation which prevails in the classroom. There are many problems confronting the student body, a great many of which per tain to schoolwork and problems instigated by the war. Faculty members, possessed with years of experience in innumerable situations, would expound knowledge they have amassed all over the world. That's what Penn State students need. An infor mative, no, not necessarily super-intellec tual, conversation on a Friday or Saturday night with a professor might reveal to stu dents concerned that student-faculty rela tionship can be a valuable element in col lege life. One week from today, Cabinet's idea will go into effect. Whether or not Cabinet at. tempted anything profitable will depend on the students.' - .. Collegiate Review "Rosie, the Riveter" must join the obsolete in postwar careers. Dr. Catherine Evans, vocational adviser for wom en at Indiana University, agrees thoroughly with the article "A Warning to the Career Women" ap pearing in the New York Times Magazine on July 16. This article advises that women forget idealis tic derises and face probabilities in postwar voca tional opportunities for women. The veterans re habilitation program will open many jobs for women nurses, psychologists, social workers and dieticians. There will be a great number of re turning veterans who will need the best treat ment their country • can give them and women with an adequate educational background will be needed. Vocations that extended a warm hand to wom en before the war will also be glad to welcome them back. Teachers will be in great demand. Jobs requiring a "woman's touch" such as in terior decorating and home making will also offer opportunities ,to women. Instead of facing realities, however, the trend has been for women to picture themselves strid• ing at an even gait with men to a career, which in most cases would lead to failure. Though women have advanced a long way since grandma's day, there are still quite , a few ex isting limits in her choice of a vocational career. A few women have been successful as lawyers, doctors, and engineers, but the average woman cannot hope to compete with men in these fields. Good training and hard work in a realistic fu ture profession will be the chid assets for the postwar career. Whatever the changes, and there will be many, women can and will be expected to keep their chins up and doing their very best to fit in whatever kind of a world postwar condi tions offer. * * * The University's greatest contribution towards producing better, ,playwrights is to give students experience in acting, directing and technical work of the theatre so that the knowledge gained can be applied in the writing of plays, Dr. 0. P. Lar son of the division of speech at Indiana Univer sity announces. In order to produce - better playwrights, produc ers should choose- one of the good university or community theatres in the country and lend the director several promising playwrights to acquaint them with the environment of the theatre. Dr. Larson said that the experimental theatre there is also an asset in training students to pro duce plays written by other students and thus to encourage the latter to become finished writ ers. THE COLLEGIAN A Lean And Hungry Look Dear Brutus, swamped, absolutely swamped with letters from fa males of all shapes and sizes with ailing hearts who are clamoring for the deft touch of Cassius' Ad vice to the Lovelorn.
