I " A*' • . ’
Freshman and sophomore wo
men’s elections are now over.
the term of office has
just begun and the mere passing
qf the election date should not
mark the passing of all thought to
the matter.
; WSGA and WRA actually have
authority in making rules which
govern, the everyday activities of
women at the College. The laws
passed by these officers
are not mere ratifications of ad
ministrative decrees or just words
printed on a piece of paper. They
have substance.
.. Consistent gripes in the run
ning of women’s government or
ganizations and disapproval of
rules enacted by WSG and WRA
can legitimately be traced back
to the one time indifference of
voters and to their almost com
plete indifference' to WSGA and
WRA after election dates.
Analysis of all rules passed, in
terest and discussion of activities
of the two organizations and at
tempts to determine the effective
ness of the various members of the
organizations should become the
established precedent of all wo
men students whom ordinances, of
these groups affect.
.Otherwise gripes cannot be legi
timate or future elections of some
of the same officers valid. Fur
thermore a thorough knowledge
of the limitations of the rules
which may .be passed and of each
constitution might be helpful in
an analysis of what has been or
has hot been accomplished.
A whole year of activity re
mains for study of this, year’s
group and future elections will
provide a proving ground for any
who may become an advocate of
the above.

White Hall Conceals
Hidden Mysteries
Behind Doors
“Men do not enter,” “Women
students only," say the big gold
letters on the inner doors in White
Hall. What intriguing signs! They
could lead any poor male, who ac
cidentally noticed them, to an ex
treme state of mental confusion,
and frustration too. What forbid
den sights are concealed behind
these pieces of wood?
Ah, the mysteries of Scheheraz
ade lie here. Here are the Penn
State co-eds taking part in physi
cal education classes. In one room,
bowling classes are in progress, as
the girls try to knock down those
ten wooden things.
Another class room reveals girls
swaying to music in a , modern
dance group. In the gym, two ex
citing games of basketball are in
progress at the same time.
But, the- most hidden site (or
sight) of all is the swimming pool.
Here, far from the sight of male
on-lookers, the Esther Williams
of the College perform. Of course
they are attired in the latest ih
battling suits, designed in Cali
fornia.
These are the mysteries behind
the closed doors.

late this year,' is a traditional af
fair, sponsored by WSGA and the
group plans to perpetuate it as an
early, season function in the years

ing better acquainted with upper
class and of making new
comers *>.;* more at home in the
initial stages of:the school year
will be more fully carried out.
Lack of plans, by last year’s
group necessitated the late date of
this year’s “Pop-in-Night.”
