Take Gloria, for example. She was invited to the University for a weekend by a girlfriend who lived in East Quad. As her friend and she walked into the quad, Gloria looked around the concourse in amazement. "I thought this was a girls' dorm," she said to her friend Lois. "What are all these men doing here?" Males "Oh, them!" Lois glanced at the males draped around on benches. "They live here, too." Gloria was very surprised, but rather than appear naive, she said casually, "How inconvenient. Don't they get in the way?" "We get used to them," Lois yawned. "Having men around is one of the advantages of living in Prescott and Tyler Houses. Many East Quad romances started in the main concourse." Gloria looked around the con- course. "So I see," she nodded. Study Hall "We see these men all the time," Lois told her. "We have a coed study hall, a coed snack bar, a "But when do they study?" ask- ed Gloria. People Always Studying "Oh, all the time. Our study hall is so handy and so comfort- able that people can't help but study. Look!" They went into the study hall. Every table was filled. People looked up from their books and frowned as the door squeaked. Lois smiled at a man who was making a map and waved at a coed study- ing astronomy. Quiet Hours Enforced "Quiet hours are strictly ob- served here," Lois told Gloria as they backed out hurriedly. Gloria was impressed. "Every- thing is so handy," she said. "Be- sides your snack bar and the study hall there are stores and restaur- ants right down the street and the campus is so close, too." "But how is the, food here?" Gloria asked. "I'd be afraid that I'd be hungry all the time." "You'd never have to worry about that!" Lois laughed. "The food in East Quad is excellent in quantity." "Well!" Gloria exclaimed. "All that, and men, too! Women living in East Quad are certainly lucky."

By SUE RAUNHEIM Why are there more women than Smen in the United States today? The principal reasons have to do with health improvements over the past decades and with immi- gration, according to Dr. Louis I. Dublin, statistician and consultant on health and welfare for the In- stitute of Life Insurance. In the past, the United States grew largely from immigration, the majority of immigrants being men. There was always an "ex- cess" of men, which is character- istic of a relatively young coun- try. Immigration Has Decreased However, immigration has de- creased in the past 30 years so the trend in the American popu- lation has changed direction. Marked progress against diseases that are often more fatal to wo- men than men, and the virtual elimination of the risks of child bearing have women outnumber- ing men, for the first time in his- tory. , An important advance has been the steady conquest of dangers that accompany childbirth. Most mothers today have their babies born in hospitals where emergen- cies can be taken care of swiftly and safely. There have also been major ac- complishments in the treatment of diabetes, certain tumors and other diseases which affect wo- men. Parents Watch Children Grow With men as well as women liv- ing longer, parents have been able to watch their children grow up and enjoy retirement together. From birth on, statistics show that women outlive men. Today, on the average, women live five to six years longer than men. The result is that widows greatly out- number widowers in the popula- tion. General progress has been made in the financial security of wi- dows. They are in a better posi- tion to maintain their own homes even when they must bear sole re- sponsibility for raising young chil- dren. \7 y4 by A.
