LME was when American home makers didn't realize how much they were influenced by Home Economists. Since the war brought food shortages, Mrs. Homemaker has found out how much she d~pends on you, the Home Economist, to show her how to get along. When you suggest casserole dishes, stews, extender recipes, and other ways of serving good meats like Morrell Pride Meats, Mrs. Homemaker is grateful for your help. Thanks to you, meat's body building proteins, vitamins, and minerals are still part of the daily diet in millions ofAmerican homes. Yes, Mrs. Homemaker has found out. And she'll be even more grate ful if you continue to help solve her mealtime problems. • 1 JOHN MORRELL & co., GENERAL OFFICES, OTTUMWA, IOWA T H E 0 w A ON THE COVER are two home economics freshmen pausing un der an archway of branches on the path near Lake LaVerne A Review of Activity in Home Economics IOWA STATE COLLEGE, AMES, IOWA • VOL.

College, like all of life, is a choice-making proposition. Iowa State offers you many opportunities and it is for you to choose those you want. First, you are here for the foundation of knowledge upon which all of your future living will be based. You want a good solid base, one that includes all the principles that you need to know. Much already has been said to you about studying and managing your time and your advisors will have a favorite piece of good advice to pass on to you. It's wor.th taking too, for if your study time is organized you will have free time for activities and other fun you don't want to miss. You won't have to worry about late assignments or slump in your seat with the hope that the professor won't call on you. ·· Anyone but a potential hermit will snatch at the opportunity college offers to meet and know many types of people. College is the place to make the acquaintances that will be important to you for the rest of your life. This includes members of the faculty as well as your fel- low students. Opportunities for outdoor social life are too good to pass by. The Iowa State campus is breathtaking in its beauty in all the seasons. Sports such as riding, golfing, hockey, tennis, skating and other winter sports will make you appreciate and love your campus. Even if you think that your tennis or golf is a little on the rusty side, experience with the Women's Department of Physical Education will help you become an all around sportswoman.
