Coeds Participate
In Hockey Play Day
More than 20 women hockey
players from the College were
the guests of Bucknell University
at a play dayj November 12. Sus
quehanna University and Juniata
College also participated in the
play day.
Since there are no intercollegi
ate sports for women at Penn
State and many other colleges,
play days and telegraphies are
used instead. At a play day, only
parts of games may be scheduled.
In the five-games played the Blue
and White won two, lost two, and
tied one.
Two teams, composed of those
girls who were outstanding on
one of the class teants here during
intramurals, were sent.
The girls included.

LI G. Brown, B. Fretz; J.

LW C. Weber; B. Leith

Outstanding Seniors
(This is the fourth in a series of articles concerning prominent
senior men and women who have proven themselves outstand
ing in one or more fields of activity at the College.)
A pair of hazel eyes sparkled and light brown curls bobbed
lightly as Joan Bergdoll spoke of her college activities. Her social
service to the College has been in the field of women’s student
government.
As a sophomore, Joan was el
The following year she was one c
on the WSGA slate. This year
Joan is secretary of the organiza
tion, takes the minutes of Senate
and handles all the correspond
ence. .
Other activities of Joan’s in
'clude the Penn State in China
committee, All-College Elections
committee, and Owens,- sopho
more women’s honorary.
Social Service
This psychology major calls
York her home town. After
Joan remarked that
she would like to become, active
in community welfare work as
she is interested im social service.
Perhaps her experience as the
Tri Delt sorority’s vice-president
and pledge traiper will be, of some
help to her later.
'Joan feels that WSGA is a well
run and basically important
group on campus. “Many 'girls,
Joan pointed out, "think the or
ganization is completely control
led by College officials, but that
isn’t so. The girls actually run
it themselves, with occasional
sanctions from Dean Weston."
Rules Have Reason
“Another point that is often
misunderstood by the students,
she continued; "is the imposing
of rules which are often thought
of as unfair. But, if someone
would attend a Senate meeting,
they would understand that every
rule set up has a reason behind
it and some cause underlying it
