Nonathetlic Coe& Suffer White Hall Escapades Women of the world 'can be divided into two distinct classes, those who were cut out to be physical education majors, and those who weren't. To the former, hours spent in White Hall are heaven on earth. Gaily singing, they put on little blue gym suits and run to class. Perhaps they are going to play volley ball. With a - flick of the wrist, the ball' goes swooping over the net into a space un occupied by opponents. No matter what position one of these females plays, she manages to flip the ball back. Descend Upon Dance Class Opposition speeds a ball over the net. This is it! A point for their side. Out of the blue appears —you guessed it—a phys ed ma jor. Lightly jumping into the air, she spikes the ball right into the unsuspecting server's face. En masse these girls descend upon modern dance class. With perfect precision, they twist and turn around the room in time to the music; Not a wrong turn or step. Watching them in the gymnas ium is enough to give someone a stiff neck. Like . pretzels, they twist in and out of ,odd shapes. Spectators hover close to the wall as. the girls swing from bdrs and rings, tumble on mats, make ap paratus work seem like play, and flip up and down the floor. Play Volley Ball The second type crawls to the building with dread in its eyes. As much time as possible is spent changing clothes, but the dreaded period still hold forths. (Uncut because the department lowers grades for such pleasures.) • This group also plays volley ball. With a flick of the wrist, the ball goes swooping onto the floor three inches in front of them. Front row, middle row, and back row manage to miss the ball. They stand there praying—maybe one of the phys ed majors will hit them with a ball. Ah, for a bed in the Infirmary rather than the horror of White Hall! Modern dance class—how to be a graceful, poised lady in a few easy lessons. The music starts. Graceful, poised ladies? These poor, frightened girls fall on their faces, miss every beat and step on someone's feet. Word of Consolation In the gymnasium, the pretzel formations are easy. Only one thing wrong—the teacher neglect ed to tell them how to untwist. They eye the rings and mats with fear. Unfortunatey, the motto at White Hall is "If at first you don't succeed, try until you're dead." a Weicarne • c 7 • ✓hone Returning to Penn.

LaVie Senior Board Senibr board members of LaVie will meet at 7 tonight in 412 Old Main. • The nicest thing about the holes for the new SU Building are they offer a convenient place to bury those who tried. Women of the world can be di vided into two distinct classes— those who were cut out to be phys ed majors, and those who weren't. To girls in the 'latter class, one word of consolation—if you live through four semesters of the sub ject, you can build a big bonfire and burn those horrid outfits. Four semesters is all the College requires!
