Wolfe Elected Treasurer;
Panhel Awards Scholarship
Patricia Wolfe, Qamma Phi Beta, was elected treasurer of Pan
hellenic Council to serve the remainder of this year and all of next
by representatives at the regular Panhel meeting Tuesday night.
A scholarship committee recommended, upon suggestion from
the dean of women’s office, that Miss Anna Louise Light from Ann
ville, a sophomore in Home Economics, receive the annual Panhel
scholarship. The Council voted
unanimously to support the pro
posal. The committee reported
that Beta Sigma Omicron was the
recipient of this semester’s schol
arship cup.
Ostnla Assess me nl Proposal
Council defeated the measure of
assessing each student twenty
five cents for the purpose of col
lecting funds for AIM, Leonides,
IFC and Panhel, proposed at the
last meeting by William Norcroas,
AIM representative.
Panhel accepted the rushing
schedules recommended by the
rushing committee for next fall
and spring.
Discussion was held on chang
ing the status of the secretary of
the Council. Previously the sec
retary has not been a member of
Panhel and has been paid for her
services. A new proposal calls for
including the secretary as a mem
ber of Panhel and dispensing with
the wage. This was tabled until
the next meeting as it involve*
a change in the constitution.
Get Together
The next meeting of Panhel will
be held in Atherton Northwest
lounge at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May
10. A get-together party will fol
low immediately after the meet
ing for old and new Panhel re
presentatives and the new presi
dents of each sorority. Patricia
Botkin, Ruth Edelstein and Del
ores Daly were appointed to the
refreshment committee.
Woman Teacher
Masters Boats,
Glass Technic
Model sailboats and glass tech
nology are two unusual subjects
for a young lady, but Evelyn
Chostner Marboe masters both
of them.
Mrs. Marboe is assistant pro
fessor of glas technology at the
College. In her spare time, she
and her husband, Robert F. 'Mar
boe, who is an assistant professor
of engineering research, build
small sail boats.
The boat-building hobby start
ed about seven years ago, Mrs.
Marboe explains. The sail boats
are about three feet in length
and the hull usually is carved
from pine.
“Carving the hull,” Mrs. Mar
boe says, “takes a lot of patience.”
Annual Regatta
But the reward comes at the
annual regatta held near here
each summer. Friends of the
Marboes from all sections of the
country come to State College to
compete in the regatta.
This year the Marboes hope to
surprise their competitors.
They’ve built two power models.
Mrs. Marboe's boat will be pow
ered by a tiny electric motor,
that of her husband by a tiny gas
motor.
Mrs. Marboe explains that she
became interested in science at
an early age. A friend had given
her a chemistry set as a Christ
mas present.
Mrs. Marboe received her bach*
elor of science degree at Wayne
University and her master of
science degree from the College.
After teaching and conducting re
search in chemistry for four years
at the College, she entered the
field of glass technology.
“The hobby of building boats
is a method of relaxing after a
long day of research in the lab
oratory," the ‘Marboes explain.
But they show the same pa
tience and persistence in build
ing the boats that they do in
their research.
