rorities moving into Simmons or
Grange.
The new sorority suites are al

large problem nf suite telephones
remains in be settled among Dean

SATURDAY, SfePTfiMBER 25. 1948
the WJomen
By Frances Keeney
By this time most of the junior
and senior coeds have returned to
their second home, glowing with
suntans and packed with vigor,
and to them the new sophs and
the Daily Collegian out
the big “Welcome Back’* sigh.
Even though during the first
few days the new coeds will
probably be envious of the way
the “old” gals seem to swoop
down and take command of ev
erything and everybody, this
control will be short lived (it has
so been proved in the past), and
it will be a very short time before
the new sophs and juniors stamp
their trade-mark on this college
campus.
In the few -days they have been
here, the new girls have made a
fine impression on the faculty,
administration, Orientation Week
helpers, and last but certainly not
least, the men. These sure-footed
upper class women will have to
start out on their toesl!
Plenty of Meetings
All week these new coeds have
been subjected to meetings, rules
and regulations of campus life,
multi-campus activities,, and so
much information about the
“mother school” that we wouldn’t
be a bit surprised if half of them
are ready to pack up for the quiet,
little school from which they
came. On top of this, and registra
tion, comes sorority rushing
which begins this week. College
can’t help but appear as a jum
bled mixture of Greek letters, al
phabetical arrangements, and
“do’s and don’ts for College wom
en.”
Soph Maze
Orientation workers realize
that right now WSGA, WRA,
IWA have no more significance to
you Sophs than combinations in
a mathematical equation, and
that you know absolutely no diff
erence between Alpha Beta Gam
ma and Zeta Psi Upsilon. But you
are sophomores when you come
to the campus and we want you
to become acclimated to Penn
State and to feel a part of this
College just as quickly as pos
sible.
Orientationers want to help you
get out of your labyrinth just as
much as you want to get out of
Coeds Have Advantage
One interesting feature about
this schol is the male to female
ratio, with figures leaning heavily
on the coed's side. After careful
calculations we have found the
ratio this semester to be approx*
mately 4.93 fellows to 1 hlush
ing maiden, or one femme fatale
to 4 fellows and 1 without a
thumb! But coeds, please don’t
walk around campus looking for
the unfortunate males without a
thumb; it might be embarrassing
for you as well as him.
After you find your 4.93 men,
there are plenty of things you
can do with them. A climb up Mt.
Nittany is quite a necessity, as
well as a look about campus from
Old Main tower. A walk to the
Ag Hill barns is particularly en
tertaining especially if you stop
at the creamery for a big ice
cream cone on your way home.
4.93 and You
If you have a camera, we would
advise a hike to the Lion Shrine,
and a snapshot or two of your 4.93
men. For those who are less am
tious, there are always bicycles
to be rented in towns for trips
through State College and Col
lege Heights. Horses are also
available to those with riding
ability.
