WRA. Converts White Hall
To Sportsland, Social Spot
Excited yells of basketball play
ers, a life-saving class at the
White hall pool, steaks cooking
over a fire at a • cabin in the
mountains, or dreamy music and
swaying dancers at a formal—
this is WliA in action.. .
WRA's activities are limited
only by the interests and desires
of State's women students. Its
purpose is to offer opportunity for
socialized recreation and the de
velopment of skill in various
sports.
-Organized six years ago WRA
has grown until today it is one of
the two leading women's organi
zation's on campus. With its slo
gan of "Hale Penn State" it is
playing an important part in the
nationwide theme of physical fit-
Besides offering women's sport
activities, WRA sponsors a co-re
creation program. Highlight of
last year's co-rec evening was
mushball games between mixed
teams of coeds and servicemen.
Spring brings the WRA all
college formal. The selection of a
campus pin-up man distinguished
last year's sweetheart dance.
Square dancing is also a popular
activity.
The WRA cabin is located about
five miles from campus in the
Tussey Mountains. It is a • center
for bike hikes and overnight
camping parties. The cabin is un
der the supervision of the faculty
adviser of WRA, president of the
Outing club, and the sophomore
representative of the executive
board. Any group of women stu
dents may have the use of the ca
bin.
Intrathural board organizes all
intramural and interclass sports
activities. Each class, dormitory,
and sorority has a representative.
An intramural cup is awarded to
the unit that has the highest num
ber of points for participation' in
the intramural games of one
spring, summer and whiter sem
ester. Chi Omega sorority now has
possession of the award.
