WHAT A DAY for baseball practice, Coach Joe Bedenk was probably thinking when this picture
was snapped on snowy Tuesday. Coach Bedenk is pointing to the baseball in First Baseman Larry
Beighey's hand and the snowball being held by Second Baseman Larry Fegley.
Housemothers Enjoy
Return to School
At the same time some students are busy thinking up
excuses to cut classes, many residence hall housemothers and
other administrators crowd their schedule to obtain the in
tellectual stimulation and daily enjoyment of classroom
attendance.

privilege, said Mrs. E. Belle Funk
houser, hostess at Cooper Hall.
There are many other things I
could do, but taking courses is
so interesting, she said.
She thinks the University
should encourage hostesses to
take more subjects. At another
university, she said, housemoth
ers are expected to attend classes
of some kind. It keeps you more
aware of what young people are
doing, she explained. You know
how much studying they are ex
pected to do and understand their
problems better.
Mrs. Funkhouser is sitting in
on "The English Bible as Lit
erature." "I can rr•iss as many
classes as I want, she said.
"but hate to stay away. I feel
like someone has dusted the
Book off for me." She finds that
students are also very interest
ed and rarely cut class.
Mrs. R. Mae Shultz, assistant
to the dean of women, has found
time in her busy schedule to take
a course almost every semester.
"Last fall was the first time I
didn't attend classes," she said,
"and I missed it."
Mrs. Shultz, who last August
received her masters degree in
counselor education, is a special
student in International Under
standing 300—her first course not
in the graduate school
"I find it very stimulating to
observe the undergraduate stu
dent mind," she commented.
She said class participation has
been almost "sparkling" and that
learning is now definitely on a
higher level than it was years
ago. Sometimes I find it hard to
get out three hours a week, she
said, but I will definitely keep on
taking courses for credit.
One of the most active partici

composition and conversation, is

at Irvin Hall. Although she is

courses is such a wonderful
auditing the course, Mrs. Ander
son does all assigned work and
often perks up class discussion
with her ready humor.
I never took French formally,
she said, but learned to speak it
during three years in France. She
attends classes to keep up her
speaking proficiency and as a
profitable way to spend free
time.
Mrs. Anderson is also famil
iar with Greek, Latin and Ger
man. "I started Spanish at a
Berlitz school just for fun : " she
said, "but had to slop because
it was spoiling my French ac
cent."
But the stimulation of an in
teresting course expertly pre
sented is offered even those who
have no time to attend classes.
Mrs, Marion Barrett. head hostess
at McElwain Hall, finds the hu
manities on television this semes
ter an enjoyable way to spend an
hour from 9 to 10 amt.
I have never enrolled formally
in a course, she said, but tune in
on Dr. Henry A. Finch's class
regularly.
"It would be fine if we had
more educational television pro
gramming," Mrs. Barrett com
mented. "I find many of the
other shows a waste of time."
