WSGA.....tOi - Review
Elections Release
Releasing final election figures for the Women's Student Gov
ernment Association, an issue, tabled two years ago, will be re
considered by the WSGA• Senate at .4 p.m. today.
Women interested - in expressing an opinion may attend the
special meeting in the WSGA room in White Hall, Nancy White,
WSGA president, said yesterday.
Miss White said the results
have not been released in the
past because it was felt it was
unnecessary. Women may see the
results in the Dean of Women's
office, 105 Old Main.
Another reason for not releas
ing the figures was that defeated
candidates may feel embarrassed
if the results were published, Miss
White said.

Barbara. Wallace, Women's Rec
reation Association president, said
she did not know whether WRA
would release its results. She said
a special, meeting of the WRA
executive board will be held to
day or tomorrow to consider the
matter.
A proposal to release the re
sults was tabled indefinitely by
WSGA in 1951. A majority vote
of the senate will be necessary to
take the proposal off the table at
today's meeting, Miss White said.
Then a motion concerning releas
ing the results may be considered.
Proposal Tabled
The WSGA proposal was tabled
in November 1951 after a pro
posed amendment to the All-Uni
versity constitution requiring that
all organizations represented on
All-University Cabinet release re
sults of any public elections was
tabled.
If the amendment to the con
stitution had been passed, WSGA,
WRA, and Leonides would have
been required to release their
election figures.
While the proposal was being
considered by cabinet and WSGA,
women voted at house meetings
that they did not wish to have
the results released. Eighty-five
per cent of the women students
voted. Two-thirds of those voting
opposed releasing the figures.
Random Poll
In a random poll taken of 87
men and women by the Daily Col
legian, 14 of 25 women and 43 of
62 men said they favored releas
ing the results. Seven men and
11 women were against it.
Those in favor of releasing the
figures said women should fol
low the precedent set by All-
University and national elections.
They also felt that women who
think they are mature enough to
run for offices should be able to
accept defeat.

WSGA to Hold
Tea for Coeds
In Atherton Hall
"A Tea with the Coeds," spon
sored by the Women's Student
Government Association, will be
held from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. Sun
day in the Atherton Hall lounges.
This affair was formerly known
as the Big-Little Sister Tea, to
which freshman women invited
their "big sisters." Because the
system of assigning an upperclass
woman to aid the freshman coed
in orienting herself to campus life
has gradually disappeared, the
name and purpose 'of the tea was
changed.
The purpose is to afford coeds
an opportunity to make new ac
quaintances. Each sorority will
have representatives present.
The tea is open to all coeds.
Candidates for the WSGA elec
tions next Tuesday and Thursday
will be guests of honor and will
be introduced during the after
noon.
Freshman senators Barbara
Hendel,* second semester chemis
try major; and Suzanne Loux, sec
ond semester arts and letters ma
jor, are general chairmen of the
tea. Members of WSGA and the
Freshman Council are in charge
of planning the event.
Wives of prominent campus of
ficials will also be present.
Mrs. Milton S. Eisenhower, wife
of the President; Dean of Women
Pearl 0. Weston; Mrs. Cordelia L.
Hibbs;. Patricia J. Thompson; and
Mary E. Brewer, assistants to the
dean of women, will pour at the
tea. Members of the WSGA sen
ate will assist.
The color scheme for the tea
will be yellow and green. This will
be carried out with yellow flowers
and green mints.-The pourers will
wear white carnations.

chestra will play at the annual

Fire Protection." Jo hn Senft,

other stuffed animals will decor
ate Rec Hall.
Tickets are on sale at the Stu
dent Union desk in Old Main and

of queen contests being held this
semester.

Candidates
Frosh Hour
By MARY LEE LAUFFER
(Second in a series of three articles based on interviews with.
the presidential candidates for the Women's Student Govern
ment Association.)
According to the three presidential candidates for the Women's
Student Government Association freshman, women should be granted
11 o'clock permissions on Friday nights.
The candidates are Arlene Borgeson, sixth semester home eco
nomics major, and Patricia Ellis and Louise Glud, sixth semester
arts and', letters majors..
Primary elections- for WSGA
and the Women's Recreation As
sociation will be held Tuesday.
Final elections will be Thursday.
Voting will take place in the
dormitories.
Hours • Under Investigation
The question of changing fresh
man hours is being • investigated
by Freshman Council; The council
conducted a survey of colleges
and universities with enrollments
totaling more than 5000 students.
Reaults of the survey showed
that the majority of these schools
has later hours than does Penn
State.
The major argument against
granting freshmen 11 o'clocks on
Fridays has been that they have
no place to go since they are not
permitted, ,to visit fraternities.
. WSGA Candidates Agree
The WSGA candidates agreed
that' 10 o'clock permissions did
not leave suffiCient time for a
Friday night movie 'or ,sports
event date. Frequently, dances do
not start until 8 • p.m., leaving
little time for freshman women
to attend.
Miss Borgeson and Miss Glud
agreed that there is not enough
time to eat dinner, change clothes,
see a complete movie, have a
snack, and still be in the dormi
tory by 10 p.m.
Hour Not Spent in Study
Miss Borgeson said she thought
one reason for granting only 10
o'clocks was to encourage the
women to study. However, • she
said she does not think this extra
hour is spent studying for most
women consider the weekend as
a time for relaxation.
Miss Glud said she favored
granting 11 o'clock permissions
to second semester women. "By
the time she has spent one semes
ter on campus, the freshman coed
realizes her duties as a woman
and conducts herself accordingly."
New Entries Made
In Queen Contest
Three new entries in the sopho
more class queen contest were
submitted yesterday, according to
officials at the Student Union
desk in Old Main.
Eleven sophomore women have
been entered in the contest so
far.
The contest deadline is 5 p.m.
Wednesday.
Any sophomore woman spon
sored by a campus organization
may compete. Photographs of a
minimum size of 2% by 4 inches
may be submitted at the SU desk.
