PRICE FIVE CENT
Sixty members of the .Junior
Class last niglit vot e d the Junior
Prom a "no corsage" dance.
• According t o H. Alfred Lentz,
acting chairman, the resolution
serves to remove the social pres
sure of wearing corsages. He
maintained, however, that it does
not bar those wearing corsages
from the dance.
Much discussion, during which
many viewpoints were presented,
preceded the final vote. The first
resolution voted upon was to
make the corsage issue optional.
This . was defeated by the argu
ment that many dances in the
past
,have been optional.
Woodring's Manager Comments
Mr. Wolfe, manager of Wood
ring's Floral Shop, stated that he
understood •w h y the students
wanted a "no corsage" dance but
commented that the State College
floral business is dependent on
the students.
One of the coeds present at
the meeting remarked that, if a
girl wore one of the new evening
gowns, 'there is no place for a
corsage unless she has her hair
arranged for flowers.
This. will be the first post-war
Junior Prom and, according to
Jack 'Shrum, committe e chair
man,. will make up the first big,
weekend of the spring semester
with a variety of intercollegiate
sports events and fraternity and
organization dances being pre
