The Ratio . . .
West Dorm Director
Has Enviable Job
Many coeds would have given their eye-teeth to get Mrs. Lois
Jacobson's job as social director of the West Dorms, especially when
they heard the ratio of men to women there was 1600 to one.
Of course with coeds occupying Thompson Hall this .year, *the
ratio has dwindled, but Mrs. Jacobson is still at a vantage point.
An employee of Associated Stu
dent Activities and Student Un
ion. Mrs. Jacobson stations her
self at the main desk in the West
Dorms, often seven days a week,
to answer such questions as,
"Where would something be if it
were left in the Snack Bar?" or
"May I have a deck of cards?"
Adviser, Receptionist
And as wou Id be expected,
since Mrs. Jacobson is young and
pretty, a question such as this
' occasionally is voiced, "May I
have a date?" This is always fol
lowed by a glance at the sign
on her desk; and an embarrassed
"Oh . . I'm sorry."
All this is in a day's work for
the blue-spectacled Mrs. Jacob
son. Act i n g as a combination
chaperone, adviser, bookkeeper,
guide, and receptionist, Mrs. Ja
cobson works in a pleasant atmo
sphere, often with "Please Mr.
Sun" as the background. •
"We work as many hours as
the other College employees; it's
just that ours are spread out
over the day more," Mrs. Jacob
son explained. "There's a part
time receptionist her e in the
mornings, and then we're here
till 10 p.m. weekdays,- and till
1 a.m. Friday and Saturday."
Likes Schedule
"We" is Mrs. Jacobon and C. J.
Sprankle, also a social director
employed by Associated Student
Activities. The two divide the day
between them, and alternate
working weekends, according to
Mrs. Jacobson.
When asked if she minds not
having a st ri c t schedule, Mrs.
Jacobson replied, "Not at all. It
gives me time to do my housework
in the mornings, and by alternat
ing weekends, I have some more
free time."
'The blond Mrs. Jacobson is the 1
wife of a graduate student in
chemistry, wh o teaches during
the day and

at night.
Mrs. Jacobson and her husband
are originally from North Dakota.
She worked there while her hus
band did • graduate work for his
master's degree. He will get his
Ph.D. frOm Penn State next year.
Little Disciplining
Mrs. Jacobson feels that men
are easier to handle than women.
She said, "They see in mo r e

come around to talk to me. They

kind of flowers to get their girls,
to what they should do about the
girl back home. But then the
coeds all go to Mr. Sorankle with
their problems, too!"
Mrs. Jacobson said that she
and Sorankle were very pleased
with the way "coed living" has
worked out in the West Dorms.
"The student's realize what a
public Place this is, and act- ac
cordingly. The extent of my dis
ciplining is telling someone to
take his feet off the coffee table
once in awhile," Mrs. Jacobson
said.
Only a few problems arose at
the beginning of last semester,
but even these have subsided now.
"Once at the beginning of the
semester, when coeds had just
taken over Thompson," she said
"a boy came hurriedly up to me
and said quite seriously, 'Mrs.
Jacobson, do you know there is a
woman on the second floor of
Thompson?'
"The boy had gone back to look
up his old roommate, and was as
tonished to find a woman in the
corridor. He was even more as
tonished when I told him Thomp
son was a coed dorm now."
