might blame it on the fact that for years the
literary contributions of women have not been
properly recognized However, a University
professor is trying to end that-
Professor Audrey Rodgers, working with the
Committee on Women and Literature, has
initiated a new course titled "A Century of
Women Writers "
The course will be offered fi;:or the first time

Warton - .The Age of Innocence," Doris

"I feel 'personally, ctbat the reading list is
interesting, thought provoking, and respectable
in terms of literature." Rodgers said.
"Women have made a significant contribution
to literature." she - added, "and students should
understand the nature of that contribution."
Rodgers said many universities have created
courses waling with the image of women, but
noted that they include works by both male and

Fishburn, announcer of the

A glimpse into Fishburn's
past leaves no doubt in mind
that his life is filled Avith
variety.
Fishburn has been active
since 1918 in various facets of
Penn State's music program.

organizations from frater

Big changes took place in
the Blue Band when he
became director in 1938. He
vitalized it by deviSing
intricate formations for the
half-time ,shows, and
quickening the pace.

been an army man, and he

Israeli defepse deal hinted
LONDON (UPI)
.The
United States has hinted at a
defense guarantee to Is'r'ael in
return for territorial conces
sions to the Arabs Wit the
Israelis are not keen on the
idea, Middle East diplomats
said yesterday.
They said the possibility has
been raised in various forms,
including a treaty guarantee
for Israel. But nothing firm
has been offered so far and
the prospect had ;aroused
little enthusiasm among
Israelis. They say inter
national guarantees have
done little for them in the past
and they prefer to rely on
their own security arrange
ments.
Arab politigians apparently
are not particularly worried
about an American guarantee
for Israel and feel they can
get a Russian guarantee to
match it, if necessary, the
sources said
The cjtiestion of superpower
guarantees for a Middle East
settlement has been raised
several times since last

proponents argue that any
