THE DAILY COLLEOTAW, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Five Dorms House Women; Men Use Watts, Irvin, Jordan If you were a sophomore coed coming to the campus in 1900 the only available living unit would have been the Women’s Building. Today’s sophomore women, most of whom will be living on the campus for the first time, will find up-to-date buildings which they will call home for the next three years. For their first year, girls will be housed in Frances Atherton Hall. Built in 1938, Atherton has facilities to house comfortably over 500 women. The dormitory is lo cated on the corner of East Col leg avenue and Shortlidge road. Four Lounges Atherton Hall contains four first-floor lounges, decorated in different color schemes, which are located on either side of the entrance. Offices of the hostesses are located in the east and west ends of the building. Each room is provided with a private tele phone. Two large dining rooms serve cafeteria style, accommo dating a greater number of din ers. Women’s Building, called the Ladies’ Cottage when built in 1890, took care of the dormitory and classroom needs of all wo men living on campus at that time. The upper floors were used as sleeping quarters, the main floor including the laboratories and classrooms of the department of domestic science. A gymnas ium was located in the basement where the girls attended their oh.vsical education classes. Re cently enlarged, the building will house those women who spend McAllister Hall eight weeks of the College year student teaching. Grange Memorial Dormitory, opened in the Fall of 1929, was partly financed by the State Grange. A main lounge is located on the first floor, a plavroom, kitchenette, and laundry in the basement.

Fventuallv all sorori ties excent the thre n in Grange Grange Dorm N ewPost-WarChange Cafeterias Bow To Waiters Another post - war change is taking place on the campus this fall—the return to waiter service in the dining halls instead of cafe teria style. Back in pre-war days coeds never dreamed of having to eat cafeteria style, but with the war came the shortage of manpower (waiters), and the Administration found it necessary for the girls to serve themselves, rather than be served. But this year, along with other after-war changes, the coeds will once more be able to eat their evening meal in the accustomed leisurely manner. The College has still found it necessary to continue the cafeteria service for breakfast and luncheon. Coeds here during Orientation Week will have to serve them selves as most of the waiters will not have returned to school. Girls are requested to “dress up” for Sunday dinner, and school clothes will be the accepted attire for evening dinner. Jeans are ta boo at all times, but slacks may be worn for breakfast and lun cheon. will be located in the two dormi tories.

The aim of this organization is to give non-sorority women equal oppor tunities in social projects and ac tivities. The group is provided with a club room where social af fairs and discussions are con ducted. Philotes was organized in 1937 to bring independent women into a closer relationship.
