PAGE EIGHT WOMEN'S BUILDING, long a traditional landmark on campus ac University's mass expansion program. Stricter Rules Once Enforced Coeds today might complain about weekday and week end,hours, blackmarks and their housemothers, but they have things a lot better than did coeds in the early years of wom- en's admission to the Universi Parlor dates in 1883 lasted L Students Con Help Development Students can materially aide. the University's long-range development program in two ways, according to C. S. Wy and, vice president for de velopment. He said they can 1) come to rely more on themselves for many of their needs and 2) cooperate with teaching innovations. Wyand, who is also chairman of the Administrative Committee on Long-Range Development, said student cooperation,on both points would help keep fees down and would make more money avail able for essential University serv ices. Students could show their self-reliance by not asking for such frills as a Jitney bus serv ice from residence halls in out lying areas, Wyand said. Many fraternity men, he said, now walk farther than will students who would live in residence halls which may be built north east of Curtin and Entrance Roads. Wyand also called on students to take "a more intelligently co operative attitude toward chang ing educational procedures and devices that we are trying to de velop to keep up quality while training more students." He cited as an example the pro gram in closed-circuit television courses, a field in which lie said the University is considered one of the top colleges in the country. Wyand said there has been no evidence to indicate that large classes or television cours es decrease the quality of cours es. He said if the University can economize by avoiding unneces sary frills and by using money saving class techniques which do not cut course quality, more funds will be available for the expansion program.

Women, housed in Old Main along with the men, were strictly forbidden to talk out of the win dows or through the steam pipe. A coed caught breaking this rule was given 50 censure marks and an admonition by the Lady Principal and a letter was sent home to her parents. And it wasn't until 1923 that senior women were allowed to go off campus during the week and downtown Friday, Satur day and Sunday evenings un chaperoned. But there were compensations. In 1906, for instance, the ratio of men to women was 794 to 6. Six women were first admitted to the University, then the Farm er's high School, in 1871—despite an idea that standards would be lowered by women's "supposedly inferior minds." The first registered coed was Mrs. Ellen A. Cop, now a Wis consin resident. The women had to follow the seine' courses as the men—and courses were only offered in agriculture, science and engin eering. However, in 1884 a 2- year Ladies' course in science and literature was introduced. A home economics department was established 1907. Women's extra-curricular ac tivities were fairly restricted un"- til World War 11, when most of the men were away at war. How ever, they did have their bright spots. In 1888, for instance, a woman was editor of the Free Lance, the Daily Collegian's predecessor. May Day, along with the election of the first campus queen, the May Queen, was established in 1914. Women participated in Players' shows beginning in 1920 and in Thespians' shows beffinning in 1926. Some women were cast in Thespians' shows during World War I, however, when there was a shortage of men. The first women's debate team was established in 1926, and in 1935 a woman played on the var sity tennis team for the first time. But women had their heyday during the Second World War. The Collegian and the Penn State Engineer then had their first woman editors. Coed enrollment reached an By 1894 the library had again outgrown its quarters. President Atherton appealed to the Board oss from Schwab Auditorium, will be one of the losses in the Community Living, 2-1 Ratio To Better Man's Lot in 1970 There'll be more women around and it'll be • easier to meet them in 1970 Two changes will bring this about—a changing female ratio and "community liv ing." With the construction of more and more women's residence halls, the ratio of men to women on campus in 1970 will be 2 to 1, as compared with the present ratio of about 3.3 to 1 Community living, a term in vented a few years ago by student leaders, will make it easier to meet all those extra women. Community living was a reality not so long ago—in the fall of last year before the coeds moved out of Thompson Hall. It has returned somewhat with a few dozen women stu dents moving into Irvin Hall this fall and will become a real- ; ity once more when the pro posed Pollock Halls are built j behind Simmons and McElwain Halls. There the men and women will not only be living in the same general area, but will dine to gether in the same dining halls. And while anything can happen between now and then, there I seems to be little chance of corn munity living not becoming a part of the University's future. In )a comprehensive report to ;All-University Cabinet, Daniel IThalimer, then head of the corn , , mittee on community living, showed that key University per , sonnet were either in favor of the plan or had no objections to it. Dean of Men Frank J. Simes said: . . I would not hesitate to endorse community living as a pattern which should be adopted by the University." " Dean of Women Pearl 0.

The Women's Student Gov ernment Asociation was formed in 1906, then revised. It was re organized along the present House -Senate lines •in 1915. In 1921 WSGA was revised to in clude wo ten living in town and the cottages. Sorority women lived in the cottages. When 'omen were first admitted to the University, they were not given residence hall ac comodations. Later they lived in Old Main. Women's residence halls now include Atherton, Grange, McEl wain, Simmons, McAllister, Irvin and the eight South Residence Halls. fessor of American literature at the University for 34 years. With the completion of $1,250,000 addition to the libraryl building in 1953, its stack capac ity was tripled and its study facil ities were doubled. It now has a capacity of about 630,000 volumes. Head McComb, said the library is small compared to the size of the University. He said Penn State ranks 54 among 112 institutions reporting library size. McComb said he expects the library will need to add a new wing in five years if the student poulation - continues to grow. ' A unique feature of the li brary is its Penn State Collec tion, established • in 1904 and now housed •on the fourth floor of the building. It contains. a , wealth of historical material re latinq to the hittory, of the Uni versity and is continually being enriched by gifts from alumni and other friends of the Uni versity. • In addition to the main library, ; there are branch libraries in the !colleges of chemistry and physics, !agriculture, mineral industries, ihome economics, and engineering land architecture.' Also, the General Extension di vision operates libraries in seven of the University's cent e r's throughout the State. • Besides the college lihraries on campus, there are , special-reading rooms for architecture, forestry. and animal husbandry.

Luther H. Harshbarger, ‘Uni versity chaplain, said: "I favor the plan. In a coed university, the community living plan' as proposed provides a wholesome atmosphere for men and women which more closely •approximates the real situation in society. Further, I believe such !a plan would provide a better at imosphere for refined living and cultivation of the social graces," The new north residence halls will have 16 different names for the various buildings.

Dial Phones to Be Installed Next Fail As the University grows a new dial telephone system will grow with it. The new 'Telephone Build ing which will house the new 24-hour dial telephone system is expected to be completed by Feb. 15. Telephone engineers will then begin installing the neces sary equipment for the new dial system which will be in use by next fall. The campus patrol will share the ground floor with switch. board and telephone operating equipment. The new system is being in stalled to take care of the over load on the 1520 residence hall lines and 2000 office lines, At present a manual switchboard for residence hall telephones on east campus is located in Sin mons hall. The switchboard f r office telephones and west ca - pus residence hall telephones s located in Willard. W. F. Diehl, manager of tele. iphones in the Department of the ,:Physical Plant, said that the new Isystem will do away with private 'residence hall phones because of the cost involved in installing he new dial system. The new s 's tem will employ hall phones of ly, with about one phone for evi ry three-and-a-half rooms. The University will then ha its own exchange.
