Cabinet Rejects Proposal
For University to Host
NSA Regional Meeting
All-University Cabinet voted •Thursday not to invite the
National Student Association to hold its regional conference
at the University on the suggestion of Patricia Ellis, president
of Women's Student Government Association.
Miss Ellis, appointed to investigate the possibility of
holding the convention at the University, told Cabinet that
it would not be possible to invite
NSA because three other conven
tions are scheduled at the Univer
sity for the weekends of April 22
or 29 when the NSA convention
will be held. Housing facilities
make it impossible to have an
other convention at that time.
Vernon Sones, general chair
man of orientation, asked Cabinet
to appropriate $125.00 to enable
the hat societies to sponsor a mix
er in Recreation Hall 'for the in
corning freshmen and transfer stu
dents.

DORIS SCHMIDT AND 808 HAWK square off after last night's
Penn State-Mount Mercy debate. Miss Schmidt, and Carol Ertz

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. •

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

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.
