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.”

Fraternity women maintained
a 1.78 average and fraternity

Painting Given
To Simmons Hall
An original oil painting was
presented to Dr. Pearl O. Weston,
Dean of Women, by the Lancaster
Penn State Alumnae yesterday
afternoon for use in Simmons
Hall.
The painting, “Lancaster Coun
ty Farm,” was done by Harry M.
Book, a member of the class of
’29, and will be hung in the main
lounge of the new dormitory in

opened last month and has not,
as yet officially been turned over
to the College. The dormitory,
named for Dr. Lucrctia V. Sim
mons, dean of women at the Col

rooms which house 532 women
students.
