For View Toward Intelligence

"Do men really like intelligent
women?" is the question most fre-
quently asked of Lynn White, Jr.,
president of Mills College in Cali-
fornia.
Dr. White stated that the be-
lief that men do not like intelli-
gent women can be attributed to
the different rate of maturity in
boys and girls.
* * *
AT HIGH SCHOOL age boys,
generally less mature mentally
and physically than girls, are
placed in unfair competition with
their classmates of the opposite
sex. In rebellion they develop a
dislike for intelligent women.
Dr. White added that this
feeling sometimes continues into
the first years of college and
usually evaporates before grad-
uation.
Another theory which Dr. White
presented is that the qualities that
the mature man wants in his wife
are best developed in non-co-edu-
cational colleges.
THE STRUCTURE of a women's
college builds up her confidence
and dynamism, Dr. White pointed
out.
"In co-educational classes,
men who ask questions think of
the questions, while women who
ask questions think first of the
effect their words might have on

the men's opinion of them," he
said.
To back his theory Dr. White
stated that the marriage rate of
girls who attend women's colleges,
Catholic women's colleges ex-
cluded, is much higher than that
of women in co - educational
schools.

(EDITOR'S NOTE-This is the third
in a series of articles concerning car-

By JO KETELHUT
The college woman whose in-
terests and aptitudes have led her
to specialize in one of the many
technical fields may be wondering,
Union Offers
Music, Cards
Students may take a last whirl
before vaaction at the weekly en-
tertainment program to be pre-
sented from 7:30 to 10 p.m. today
in the Union.
Sponsored by both the League
and Union, the program is held
every other week to provide stu-
dents with a mid-week break from
studying.
Records will be played for danc-
ing and cards will be available
for bridge and canasta games.
After vacation, the program will
be moved to the League, where it
will be held for the remainder of
the semester.

"What can a woman do in sci-
ence?"
Her particular training may di-
rect her to a fascinating and prof-
itable career, since opportunities
for women in science are almost
endless.
Such opportunities usually are
limited only by one's capabilities
rather than by sex. While the
medical profession is still some-
what restricted in its acceptance
of women, the related fields seem
to be singularly lacking in preju-
dice and frequently welcome and
encourage women scientists.
* * *
WOMEN WHO have an inclina-
tion towiard mathematics, physics
or various combinations of sciencesE
may find interesting jobs as ex-1
aminers and searchers in govern-
ment patent work.
Some women with training in
science and in legal procedure
have become successful patent
attorneys.
The technical librarian plays an
important part in scientific re-
search. She is trained in. both
science and library work. Besides
a job in a university or medical
library, she may find opportuni-
ties in the library of an industrial
company, an army medical li-
brar , the patent office or in the
libraries of research organiza-
tions.

writing, there is opportunity for
free lance journalism as well as
for writing and editing scientific
articles, papers and magazines.
Women also can excel in the
field of technical illustration.
Diagrams and illustrations for
textbooks, manuals and guide
books are made either from '
drawings or photographs.
Biological supply houses, muse-
ums and research foundations re-
quire scientific artists to illustrate
pubhcations. Women are hired by
them as well as by the United
States Department of Agriculture
and other federal agencies.
* * *
THERE HAS always been a de-
mand for technical secretaries and
stenographers by the executives
of chemical manufacturing plants
and research institutions.
The scientific secretary hand-
les correspondence, takes and
types reports and maintains
files. Part of her time is spent
in the laboratory taking down
observations, keeping records
and doing similar tasks.
Museum work appeals to many
women. This field ranges from
collecting and mounting specimens
to acting as curator of special de-
partments. Tracking down speci-
mens may even lead her to thel
far corners of the world.
* * *
THE WOMAN interested in
technical work may become a
medical technician or medical
technologist for which specific
training is required. The majority
of technicians in hospital or medi-
cal laboratories and in public
health organizations are women.
For further information con-
cerning the varied opportunities
whcih are open to women in the
scientific world, bulletins a r e
available from the U.S. Depart-
ment of Commerce and of Labor,
and from the American Associa-
tion of University Women.
