TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1952 WRAis Relationship To College Campus Is Convention Theme The title,. Pennsylvania Division of the Athletic Federation of College Women, contains 57 letters. But it becomes more confusing when those who are familiar with the organization refer to it as the PDAFCW. The title has come up in the news on this campus because that organization will hold its annual convention from Oct., 24' to 25 at the College. The group will center its work around the theme, "WRA and Its Relation ship to the College Campus." (For those who are unfamiliar with WRA, it's the abbreviation for ,Women's Recreation Association.) The state federation was found ed in May, 1935, at Grove City. Representing Penn State was Betty Springer, now employed in the State College Public School System. The group, which con sisted of ten member schools, held its first meeting in November ,of that same year at the Nittany Lion Inn. 50 Schools to Come The organization experienced gradual growth until 1942, when meetings were dispensed with be cause of World War IL This sit uation continued until 1947. The federation went back into operation and this month's meet ing at the College will mark ,the 15th such gathering. About 50 schools will be represented at the convention. Invitations have been sent to 56 colleges and univer sities throughout the state. Last year'S convention at West Chester State Teacher's College attracted 23 collegiate represen tatives. There were 17 other mem ber colleges who did not attend. Has Large National Mable Marple, president of WRA. will be president of the convention. According to the fed eration's constitution, the presi dent of the hostess college's rec reation association acts as presi dent of the convention. That pres ident, every two years, receives the opportunity to attend the na tional convention. Miss Marple will attend the national conven tion this spring at the University of California at . Berkeley. The national organization has over three hundred colleges and universities in its membership. The Pennsylvania division has made many recommendations to the state as a result of resolutions adopted at conventions. One which came out of last year's convention was a letter to Governor Fine asking for the maintenance of the Horseshoe Trail near Philadel phia. Sessions Planned Its meetings are devoted to so cial as well as business matters. One of the social aspects of this month's convention will be a mix er Oct. 25 at the Sigma Pi frat ernity house. Business sessions and their leaders will include co-educational techniques, Hal White, assistant professor in recreation; parlia mentary procedure, J. F. O'Brien, professor of speech; and publicity techniques, E. L. Mattil, professor of art education. These sessions will be conducted as workshops and will -be open to the public, Barbara Wall a c e convention chairman, announced. State conventions rotate from eastern, to central, to western Pennsylvania. Being c entr al Pennsylvania's turn, Penn State was ,chosen last year as the sight of this year's convention.
