SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1948 the 'lAJomen hy tranced ~J^eeney Coeds on campus put out the welcome mat lor all returning alumnae, and curtsey deeply as they greet their graduate sisters over the “new-look” campus. We offer our deepest apologies for the giant-sized gutters, the slightly vegetated dirt mounds, and the unglamorous bits of buildings scattered over our once beautiful landscape, but as you’ve probably read Penn State is ex panding. and at present is in the midst of its “growing pains.” Coeds Haven But out of the midst of these architectural nightmares, you alums will find the coeds haven, Simmons Hall. This exclusively modern dormitory, home of 532 undergraduates, will be open to all alumnae, your husbands, your fiances and your friends immedi ately after the football game. Coeds will guide you through the dorm, and you will be served tea and cookies in the big glass en closed lounge. In fact refreshments will be served from dishes which were purchased from donations by alumnae organizations, and Miss Julia G. Brill, associate professor of English composition, will pour tea from a silver service also be queathed by the alums. "On the Ball" As in previous years, coeds are still finding and making a name for themselves in many campus activities. This week’s Thespian show abounds with feminine talent, and even though the critics, are quite varied in their opinions of the show, lau rels must be .handed to the coeds for their singing, acting and dancing performances. Women’s honoraries are also quite busy. Chimes started off the season by taking charge of the orientation of 620 new coeds, Cwens had their annual “Dun garee Drag” last weekend, and Mortar Board is planning a gala Mardi Gras from which proceeds go to the Charlotte E. Ray schol arship fund in Recreation Hall Friday night. Also in scholarship, the femi nine sex rates high. (Note next column.) We’re glad you alums came back to visit us, and we hope that you will be as proud of us still "in the vale,” as we are of you who have wandered out of “Old Main building.” Student from 45 States Forty-five states ar e represent ed in this year’s record enroll ment, said William S.
