TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2fl, 1047 We DL Women By Marjorie Mouslay Buried at the end of a Regis trar’s report is the interesting fact that there will be 1,554 coeds and 6,164 men enrolled in the Col lege this Pall. After a couple of hours over a math 2 book we came up with the startling frac tion of three and 751/777 men for every femme fatale. That means that every coed is entitled to three whole men plus one without a big toe. In order for every girl to know which one of her men is the 761/777 man we suggest a shoeless day once a week. If the fraction is a little difficult to roll over the tongue it also adds up or rather divided to 3.96 wolves to every modest maiden. After finding the four men that belong to you the problem of what to do with them arises. Here the regular orientation program fails miserably. With or without your quota of men the hike up Mt. Nlttany is a must for at least once during your college career. There’s not much chance of running into a Nittany Lion, but be prepared for a long hike for the top is a lot further than it looks. Campus Views Por the less ambitious there is always the climb up Old Main Tower for a view of the campus and the valley. If you have a camera along don’t overlook the lion shrine for good background material for the picture of you and the 3.96 men. It’s only a walk to the College barns for an afternoon outing. The bains are open for inspection and if you and the almost four men are farm-minded you will enjoy the dairy cattle, sheep, pigs, and beef catle. On the way home drop in at the Creamery for some delicigus ice cream. Bicycles rented in town are lots of fun for sight-seeing and good for the, figure. On the recom mended list is a trip through Col lege Heights north of the campus. At least one of the quota can be talked into it. Snow Brings Fun The fun only begins with the first snow fall. There are sleigh rides for memory-making mo ments. Ice skating in the rugged style may be had at the foot of Mt. Nittany on the Duck Pond just about a mile out East Col lege avenue. Let 751/777 carry the skates. Ski enthusiasts will enjoy the ski trails on Tussey mountain and find the Ski Lodge a welcome haven.

This low, red-brick structure at the southeast end of the campus houses the women’s physical education and recreation classes and is known to dll as White Hall. Built in 1938, Mary Beaver White Hall offers facilities for the physical education classes during school hours as well as equipment and rooms for recreational clubs. A large gymnasium in the center of the building contains enough room for three basketball games to be played at one time. This room is also used for badminton and indoor tennis. To the left of the gym is the rhythm room where classes in rhythmic fundamentals, modern dance and square dance are taught. Beside this room is the playroom which is open to stu dents at all times. At the other end of the building is a large class room and body mechanics room. The 135,000 gallon swimming pool, 75 feet long and from 3 to 10 feet deep, is open to coeds for plunge hours where they may swim to recorded music. White Hall offers women stu dents two bowling alleys and f shuffleboard deck, a squash court indoor rifle range and a fencing room. Also housed in the building are the offices of the women’s physi cal education department, a large lounge, and the meeting rooms of the Women’s Student Government Association and the Women’s Rec reation Association. Open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day except Sunday, White Hall offers the women a great oportunity in recreation and physical education. The first student body in 1859 consisted of sixty-nine men who ate, slept, and studied in the orig inal Old Main building. and by coeds to the Women’s Hospital Association, the Chil dren’s Home in Lewistown, and the Hetrel Emergency Fund. The other drive is the Friend's Service Clothing Drive. At the end of each semester cceds are asked to give and to collect cloth, ing for the needy. PAG® NINE CwensChoose Active Sophs Cwens, national honorary for sophomore women, has as its main function the orientation of incoming freshman women. As the College is accepting no fresh men the local chapter of Cwens, rather than becoming inactive, has turned its efforts to other channels. During the past year Cwens sponsored the Dungaree Drag, acted as ushers for events such as May Day and the faculty recep tion, aided the Dean Ray Scholar ship Fund by supporting the Mor tar Board Carnival, and held a tea for the wives of veterans at tending the College. Sally Henry, president, and the 32 active members have been faced with the problem of how to select this year’s Cwens. Re quirements have always been that the girl must have a 1.5 aver age plus active participation in extracurricular activities such a; publications, dramatics, or mu sical organizations on campus. It has been decided that the choice will be made with twt factors taken into consideration First, the average and activitie. of the girl at the college when she spent her freshman year wil be considered. Secondly, the time and interer she devotes to activities her fir? eight weeks at the College will b a deciding factor. Tapping will then be he] sometime in December or the be ginning of 1948. Over 250,000 volumes are cor' tained in the Penn State librai system, the modern central un of which was opened in 1940.
