Miss Schmidt, and Carol Ertz map, represented the affirmative on, "Resolved: That the housewife should have one day a week off." On the negative for the Uni versity were Hawk and Nick Stamateris. The audience participated in a question-and-answer period after the debate. • :attic' of Resumed, Claims that American women work only during TV, soap opera commercials were made by America.n men last night, while the women argued that men have an easy life of it• —breakfast prepared for them in the morning, conferences in the morning, and golf in the afternoons. These claims were made in the annual "battle of the sexes" be tween the men of Penn State and the women from Mount Mercy. The two "Angels from Mount Mercy" were fighting for a day a week off from homemaking for the American woman. while the Penn State "Lions" claimed that the women have almost the en tire week free. Representing Mount Mercy were Carol Ertzman, fifth semester speech and English major, and Doris Schmidt, fifth semester nursing major. Penn State was represented by Robert Hawk, sixth semester arts and letters ma jor, and Nick Stamateris, fifth semester arts and letters ',major. Busy Week Opening the debate for one-day off a week was Miss Ertzman She outlined the week of an average housewife. BN. her figures the av -Arage homemaker spends the fol lowing minutes a day on her house chores: Dishes, 135: preparation of meals. 180; shopping, 120: making heds, 40: cleaning, 180: washing, 300: eating, 90; tidying up, 60; and odds and ends, 180. This adds 'uo to 1285 minutes a day that the homemaker works. This does not seem bad. Miss Ertz man said, until you realize that there are only 1440 minutes in a day. This, she claims, leaves only 200-odd minutes for the woman of the house to sleep. 142 Washings Daily Also, Miss Ertzman paid that the average housewife washes 142 dishes, plates, and pots and pans every day. The homemaker-defenders said that there are frustrated wives because wives have to stay home all day and never get a day off. They claimed that they wanted only one day off a week for the women and considered it a fair proposition since most men now have two free days a week. Also, the two Angels claimed CHUCK WAGON (under new management) Specializing in BUDGET. LUNCHEONS for STUDENTS 200 E. College ..*l7enue SATURDAY.

Sexes' Unsettled By ED DUB/3S that a day a week off for the homemakers of America would make better homes for the na tion's husbands. Well-Rounded Wife The femmes argued that the women could use the day to ex change new ideas with their friends—making for a well-round ed wife, better home decorations, and better food for the husbands. The American men argued that women now have more than a day a week off. This is brought about, they said. through work-saving devices. They presented . , the fol lowing figures, showing the hours saved a year through these de vices: Gadgets Save Time Electric dishwasher. 243; elec tric hair dryer, 52; washing ma chine, 303; and vacuum cleaner, 157. Adding the total, the men said, one finds that women save 755 hours a 'year by the Use of only four modern devices. Dividing by 52 weeks in a year, one sees that they have 14 1 / 2 hours a week off.
