,WSGA Outlines Final Plans
For Freshman Coeds Exam
Senate of Women's Student
Government Association Wednes
day night made ,final plans for the
bluebook on campus knowledge
which is to be administered to all
freshman women this week. In
addition to the !bluebook discus
sion members received a report on
the results of unit elections. Coeds
elected in these dormitory divi
sions will serve either on House
of Representatives or on Freshmen
Council.
The "Frosh Bluebook" in 110
Home Economics at 7 o'clock 3/lon
day night is compulsory. This an •
nouncement was made today by
Ruth Moon, Senate member in
charge of the bluebook commit
tee.
Each freshman woman must
(bring a 1116-page :bluclbook with
her when she comes to the test.
Those coeds who are unable to
attend because of some valid ex
cuse must leave slips of papers
with their names and the reasons
for their absences in the Judicial
box in Women's Building, stated
Mary Haines, Judicial chairman.
Coeds are advised by members
of WSGA to study the Student
Handbook and the All-College Con
stitution. Senior sponsors will aid
their groups by stressing certain
sections in these.
Included in the questions will
be such points as locations of
buildings, names of schools and
their deans, positions in All-Col
lege Cabinet, campus terms and
initials, customs and dormitory
regulations, and words of songs
and cheers. Most of the questions
will be of the essay type, but a few
true and false have also been in
eluded.
I lVlary Margaret Dunlap, presi
dent of Senate, reminds freshman
women that the general class
showing on this test twill influence
the length and strictness of regu
lations for all freshman .coeds.
Praetors for the examination, in
addition to Miss Moon, are: Anna
Atkins, Rita Grossman, Constance
Miceli, and Patricia Reiff.
Also announced at the Senate
meeting were the names of the 10
memlbers of House of Representa
tives and the 'l2 coeds who are to
serve on Freshman Council. All
these women were elected to also
Bluebook Blues?
Follow These Hints
Do you worry about bluebooks?
To those of you who do, partic
ularl ythe uninformed freshmen,
these little hints are offered
which are guaranteed to pull you
thfough the worst Of exams.
!Because you're so busy you
won't get around to studying till
the day before at the earliest. You
should rest up for the coming
event however, so when not at
tending Corner Room 200, relax
in the sun or catch up on your
Esquire and True Romances read
ing. Be sure and answer all let
ters so they won't be hanging over
your head. Take a little nap be
fore dinner. Then when evening
comes you're all set.
During the course of the eve
ning,a good idea is to call up the
prof and ask what questions he's
going to give. This will make him
think you're ambitious and you
won't waste time studying non
essentials. •
No one can study howeverl,
when in an unhappy frame of
mind, so to forestall this, accept
that date, or participate in a game
of brldge.
Don't get worried as the hours
slip by—it's not as late as you
think.
Whatever you do, stock up on
food, and eat heartily as a fortifi
cation against exhaustion. This
will also draw all your fellow
students to the room and you can
be certain to settle postwar prob
lems, and the question of Penn
State men.
By 2 a.m. the bull session should
be over and you'll be just in the
mood for good, earnest study, so
so get out your notes and start to
look over them. Are your eyes
droopy? Go to bed as I should
have done before I wrote this.

Experiment Station
Now Preserves
Food By Freezing
Four housewives have recently
been introduced into a new meth
od of preserving food. Participat
ing in experiments carried out •by
the Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion, they prove that freezing is
the, most acceptable method of
preserving food, since it allows
the food to remain nearest to its
naturai state. ,
The four housewives, who were
included as collaborators and ;crit
ics in these experiments, were in
structed in methods of handling,
wrapping, and processing foods for
"reezing. They prepared the home
grown foods in the same careful
manner as for table use. The fruits
were tout up in syrup or sugar, de
pending on each family's taste.
The vegetables were blanched from
three to four minutes in boiling
water, cooled, packed, and sealed.
Asparagus, rhubaib, peas, corn,
string beans, lima 'beans, cauli
flower, strawberries, raspberries,
cherries, and peaches were the
foods involved in the • experiment.
The departments of • agricultural
engineering, home economics,
bacteriology, and biochemistry col
laborated to study the rates of
freezing. They now offer proof to
show that the quicker the product
freezes, the higher is its quality
and the longer it can be stored in
a frozen state.
According to, research agricul
turist John E. Nicholas, professor
of agricultural engineering, recent
experiments indicate three phases
in freezing foods, namely, pre
cooling, when the food is placed
in the freezer compartment to cool
from its original temperature to
that of freezing; freezing, when
the package remains in the freezer
so that all its contents will be
thoroughly frozen; and suib-cool
ing, when the 'product cools from
the temperature at which it froze
to the freezer environment.
"The time it takes for a pack
age •of food to freeze depends up
on several factors, particularly the
nature of the food, the size and
shape of the package, the wrap
ping material, and the number of
layers of wrapping material," de
clared Professor Nicholas. "Thus
the interval may be as short as
two minutes when the food is un
packaged and placed in one layer,
or it may be as long as two hours."
Products may be "quick" or
"sharp" frozen, depending on the
time the juices within the food
solidify, Professor Nicholas went
on to say. If the interval is 30
minutes or less, it is called "quick"
freezing. Products frozen longer
than 30 minutes, some of them
requiring 'as long as 18 hours, are
said to be "sharp" frozen.

'What 'Happens
To WSGA Prexies?'
They Say Do'
With the present shortage of
eligible males on campus, the girl
with the brighest future today is
probably Mary Margaret Dunlap,
president of WSGA.
For Miss Dunlap will be a can
didate for the list furnished by
the Dean Of Women's office head
ed "What Happens to WSGA
Presidents?" The answer? They
get married.
Gertrude G. Rosen, '45 is the
only president in the last ten
years who is not married. Miss
Rosen has evidently decided to
try a career before taking the fa
tal step which will immortalize
her in the Dean of Women's files,
for she is now working for ,the
National Broadcasting Company
in New York City.
The surprising succession of
marital undertakings began in
1935 with Lucy J. Erdman, who is
now Mrs. Robert W. Brown. She
was followed by Frances Turner,
'36, who is married to John N.
Shaffer, and Genevra .C. Ziegler,
M. D. '37, now Mrs. Richard H.
Driscoll.
The list goes on with Amy F.
McClellend, '3B, now Mrs. Paul
McCormick; Doris Blakemore, '39
