Although Jane College can't lift
that barge and tote that bale to
strengthen muscles, she can keep
in shape, thanks to the Women's
Physical Education department.
Women with all sorts of flgur-
ing to do are taken care of un-
der the clinical program and the
posture, figure and carriage (PFC)
classes over in Barbour gymna-
sium.
** *
TIRED FEET and aching backs,
caused by tramping across cam-
pus and hauling stacks of books;
slumping shoulders; and either
excess or insufficient poundage
are among the problems handled
in the program.
Women under the clinical
program report .during hours to
learn localized exercises and
then either continue to do them
at the gym or practice outside.
They return for periodic check-
ups on improvements which they
are working on. Corrective exer-
cises are given in accordance with
recommendations either from
Health Service or from physical
education classes.

lividual aspect, PFC classes meet
twice a week at several different
hours. The instructors deal first of
all with essentials which will add
to the comfort and grace of the
women taking the course.
Boney shoulders or "wings,"
for example, which look un-
sightly in off-shoulder or strap-
less formals, are dealt with in
PFC classes.
Individual exercises for each
woman are then prescribed by the
instructor after posture pictures
are taken to show both student
and teacher what needs specific
attention.
* * *
GENERAL muscle - strengthen-
ing exercises are also part of the
PFC program. Miss Ruth Harris
is in general charge of the pro-
gram which includes both the
PFC classes and the clinical work.
Many women's difficulties are
slight enough to be corrected
quite easily during the eight-
week class period. The correc-
tion may be maintained by do-
ing the prescribed exercises pe-
riodically.
The importance of the posture
program, which has proved en-
joyable for many women, has been
emphasized by Dr. Margaret Bell,
Chairman of the Women's Physi-
cal Education program.
Dr. Bell has phrased it this
way: "Poor posture may be due
to lack of self-confidence. An en-
during figure, with good muscular
development, w ll contribute
greatly to a woman's poise and
grace for the rest of her life."

French Personality Prefered Over American

BOTANY ROBES

. I

"American women do not com-
pare with French uwoniei as to
personality."
Such was the opinion, stated iii
the January 10, 1928 issue of
The Daily by Dr. John B. Cloppet,
then a member of the Romance
Language Department. However,
this 20 year old viewpoint is far
from outmoded. It has been
echoed by G.L's who were in gay
Paree during the war, and in
fart was dhe topic for a recent. ar-
tiele irE Tire m agazine.
American women should take
time to consider the reasons for
this long-prevailing preference
which men express for French
women. Dr. Cloppet was very defi-
nite about the reasons for his par-
tiality. And those same feelings
3re probably the basis for the cur-
rent male preference.
* * *
THE AMERICAN WOMAN is so
,old and hard and sophisticated."
These were typical adjectives
vhich Dr. Cloppet used in his ap-
praisal of the women of this
country, and more significantly,

college women. He found them
unkind and often discourteous in
their attitudes
The former faculty member
referred to the obvious lack of
appreciation which coeds had
for every day courtesies which
they were shown. Dr. Cloppet
remarked particularly about
their universal failure to smile
or say thank you, which takes
such small effort, when a man
opened a door for them, lie
summed up their attitude as
"take all and give nothing."
Dr. Cloppet believed that
American women drove their hus-
bands to divorce partly because of
their tendency to tire of things
when the novelty had worn off
and partly for the alimony they
would receive. At that time the
divorce rate in the United States
was far greater than France's
(What would Dr. Cloppet think
now?)
* * *
NOTHING BUT admiration was
expressed by the professor when
he spoke of the "healthy, fine fig-
ure" of the American woman. He
felt that women here dressed more
expensively, but that they lacked
individuality. Dr. Cloppet con-
side'ed all American women repe-
titions of one personality both in
dress and in character.
The French professor went on
to say that American women did
not have the artistry in apply-
ing makeup that French women
did. He claimed he spoke for
men in general when he said
that "a man likes what seems
most natural, not glaring ar-
tificialities."
Only once did Dr. Cloppet's sen-
timents have a distinct out of date
tone to them. This occurred when
he remarked about the compara-
tive independance of French and
American women. Dr. Cloppet ex-
pressed his great shock at the
amount of independence college
women had assumed in their
"dating" at that time. He said that
in France a woman would not be
allowed out past midnight with a
man. And with a man she had
just met-going out was almost
"unthinkable."
Dr. Cloppet completed his state-
ments with his personal idea and
perhaps, excuse, for the cause of
the plight of the American female.
The professor stated that women
